No but like a car. Not sliding the top of a van, which is essentially a massive dancefloor box. I mean going into the street and doing a bunch of slides/presses/taps/whatever against an actual car, like a sedan or something.
FruitBootProI know the Line TC jibbed a fighter jet which was sick but how about grinding a car?
ayooo, they have an episode of TC where they drive the van to a cool spot and jib it in everyway they could think of, i'm sure someone on NS will know what episode! :)
would be very curious to know where this thing is in the world rn 🤔
It's at trump rallies. I tried to buy it from Florida in like 2014 but decided paying for insurance and trying to find parking would be too much for the few times a year id drive it with the squad to the mtn.
Also there was a cop car parked for the winter across the street from my parents house. I wanted to jib the light bar but was scared if i broke it it would be pretty obvious who it was lol. 400 person town. I shoulda just done it and sat on the photo for a year or two. Missed opportunities
Snoqualmie used to have a van that they would set up as a feature. It had like a big dance floor style box on the roof IDK if they still have it or what.
This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Sliding the top of a VW bus is, like I said before, essentially grinding a big convex dancefloor box and not the same as building kickers on the side of a car and using the different transitions on the car to do interesting jibs
FruitBootProwho jibbed a car in what now? and who's cam got stolen?
Govy is short for government camp, which is where Mt Hood is located. Anders did the jibbing of said car. Sanch is the person who had their cam stolen.

theabortionatorDon't dis the smith limo. Smith limo never forgets
I still regret pussing out when I had the chance to hit this when it was at Copper. It was my first year doing rails and I couldnt bring myself to hit it.

I don't blame you for not hitting it in your first year of doing rails, that's a massive and scary feature, wouldn't expect a dude to hit that his first season of skiing rails

I basically grew up with the OG ski movies and Freeze magazine that had the Smith Limo featured. It was a legend among my ski buddies in High School. Then in college I got into doing rails more and was pretty comfortable doing basic ones and knew how to bail if something went wrong. Then one day at Copper it was there at the base of the resort and open to anyone. I actually skied down and stood above it for about 5 min trying to figure if I could nail it or not. Here was the legend in the flesh and it was down to me to grease it. Finally I shook my head and bailed thinking maybe I could hit it later that season. The next weekend it was gone and I never saw it again. It actually gets me to this day, ill randomly pull into a parking space, or be in the shower or something and will think, "Fuck, why didnt I hit the Smith Limo..."
seanahue.how much was it listed for? dm if you still have the contact info
sad, but also hilarious / gives me hope it can be saved... they left the box up there n everything, just needs a paintjob

I think it was 3k or 3500. I was trying to get it for like 27. Like i ssid woukda been epic nostalgia but what would i have done with it other than a few trips with the squad ti the mtn. Although i had a road gap in mind for it. That woulda been fire.

True. That said feature was pretty gnar if tou think about it. If you fell off the side hit the top and cartwheels to the ground 6 feet below kr so it didn't look fun. At least you can still ski. Maybe go bring some rink snow to the trump rally and hit it

Ahhhhh.
That's sick as fuck. I love skiing technology now but it's no question that being a young teen in the year 2000 would have been amazing. Getting to see freeskiing explode, reading Freeze Magazine, watching PBP films...
Liberty Skis had a rail car back in 2005ish that I got to jib, it was a trapezoid rail on top of an old 4 door sedan. Drove it from Steamboat to Avon, it was like driving a battering ram.
