Go through the Traveling Circus episodes, they are full of cool feature ideas. They made a rail from an old kids slide once that was sick

Rubbed drainage pipes work surprisingly, pallets are fun to jib(you can somehow grind them), get an old tire and jib it, traffic cone jib, make a box out of a plastic sled, or just jib anything you can find

A little 4' quarter pipe can be fun. Wallrides are chill. Buikd some different kink rails like elbows, flat up flat, etc.

True. Yeah a 1/4 is good for any skill level. Keep riding the backyard features as much as you can. You'll get there.

Pole jams are surprisingly easy to build, pallets can be used for wall rides easy peasy, a simple tube and a pile of snow can be turned into a spine with coping
