My my ghetto ass lip thats like 12inches wide and made from an old scooter jump. Gonna change it out for pallets pretty soon hopefully. Already rebuilt the platform so we ca clear 40ft or so now with the small decline we have.

So i have never built a legit run in, just kinda hop onto it with as much speed as i can from higher up. makes it hard to do any sorta spins on, but works perfectly fine for practicing spins out and swaps. only works with the right amount of momentum and its a down rail sorta. its pretty ghetto but it works

filming yourself when its +30 (i'm canadian) and your going for this trick continuously when your sweating balls, and every 3rd hit you've gotta put your moms candle wax on your skis and take the hose and the whole damn thing, also, riding out clean rarely ever happens.

forgot to mention breaking rails, trying to have style, and looking down at the rail on your down ramp realizing the thing is crooked as fuck from your last hit
