Back yard water ramp

[skientrepreneur]

So most of you guys build back yard boxes, we built this instead...

[leone]

the inrun looked a little sketchy, but wow

 

[wAy2sTeEzY4u]

damn son how much $

 

[fouldsys]

most of us dont have a massive hill or pond in our backyards either

 

[ArmadaAR4]

yea it looked a little sketchy but thats sick man

 

[Black-Bandanna]

looked really sketchy. but ill. double back it.

 

[skientrepreneur]

As for cost, it wasn't bad because we used a nieghboring lake management company's leftover pond liner scraps to make the 90 foot long inrun.

I'm glad everyone thinks it looks sketchy, that'll keep the joeys off it

You should have tried it before we had PVC piping, hah! Now we just push off and point them straight. If you use the PVC, it cuases enough friction that you may not make it to the water!

Speaking off friction, thank God for neoprene stickers on the bottom of the skis. You have no idea how much adhesion water and a flat ski surface create.

 

[Black-Bandanna]

double back it.

 

[Jwenz]

Wow that is prolly the sweetest thing i have ever seen...i live on a lake where we have a boat launch...we really want to set up a jump right inot the water with just a lot of turf and a jump at the end. Either that or we have a dock that we would build a jump at the end of then just boat tow

[freestyledork]

[Dkrew13]

[snocompton]

[mark311]

i like the rope swing filming.

 

[WIllW]

looks sick, that rope swing follow must be scary

 

[Stompin412]

i love the gorilla steeze hangin from the rope

 

[Myke]

I would not go in that water.

 

[corey74]

thats pretty impressive

 

[r.w]

that is fucking sweet

 

[Dan-Man]

I am envious

 

[skientrepreneur]

Why does the water look sketch? It's a spring fed pond! It's cold as heck but that's what the wetsuits are for.

for the one dude who keeps commenting on a double back,

I tried it and failed. I had my helmet ripped off my head because I landed on the back of my neck in the middle of the second flip. 720's are possible and 900's if your really huck'em.

Nobody's ever tried swith though! The damn trees at the end of the ramp and balancing out the g-forces on the inrun to flat give off some negative vibes.

 

[WONTON]

haha the rope swing filming looks ill.

 

[cpc_skier]

^ ahah yeah i could so see osme negative vibes coming from that

 

[skierchild]

[Chicken_P]

[.hazen.]

[skientrepreneur]

[GGreene]

[anxju]

[lechef]

prop for making something that big in your yard. what is the inrun made of?

 

[grapesoda]

thats so awesome and i love the rope swing follow cam!

 

[C.J.]

doesn't it hrt when you hit the water if you don't land on your skis?

 

[skientrepreneur]

Yeh, you get the wind knocked out of you when you land on your back, but it's better than busted ribs on the snow!

I've torn both ACL's jumping on snow and this is so much easier on the body when you crash.

It's made of pond liner and neoprene stickers on the skis to eliminate water suction issues

the inrun is 90'

 

[fourhundred]

how do you swim?

 

[C.J.]

float up and take the skis off?

 

[heFF]

just pretend you're crawling on the water and start doing the dawgy pattle, get some vid up yo

 

[Cronin]
