find some big as jugs or a corrugated tube to use a like a stall feature or something like that. You could do a similar set up but put a rail up there and come from the side and hit it into a tranny at the end like in the latest SLVSH games. Also a Y rail would be pretty cool (3 spirit rails combined into Y rail). I recommend making flat bars or like a double barrel (go to Build a Jib cult to find out how to do this) and also try and find a fatty tube at construction sites.

Yeah I was thinking bout that in class but I feel like you'd either gap the waterfalls or just slip out super easy, can't see a down waterfall working too well but idk I suck at rails

I asked them about this a while ago, it is a normal pvc tube, but they have put logs through the middle. I think this helps with durability and strength, and also helps support the rails/keep them standing

Imagine the bluntslides. You wouldn't even have to have skill if you go fast enough. Just drag your tails on the rail!

My idea: Waterfall rainbow rail. Sliding it would be a rollercoaster and handdrags would feel sick (and probably hurt).

maxstrhow did you make a rope tow?


U need a old lawnmower and a shit ton of rope. So u put the lawn mower at the top of ur hill and take off one of the tires so it's just the rim and u jack that side up. Then u run the rope through that down to the bottom to pulleys and shit. U gotta tie off the lawnmower and pulleys also. And the part where the rim is showin it helps to weld like another kind of rim up there so it grips the rope better. Idk it's really hard to get it right so the rope slides right

do you have a rake i would think the groomer is one, but i'm just clarifying. also where did you buy the rake/groomer and for how much? did you also get or build a snowmaker?

The groomer doesnt have a rake they are very expensive but my dad got the groomer on Craigslist I believe (im still in hs) or maybe he just saw a guy who had one. I think it was around 2-4 grand but we needed to put a lot of work into it. Last winter we had to replace the transmission as well as some other things. As far as a snow maker goes no I don't have one we just shovel a lot but this year I might go to an ice rink and get snow for early on.
