Backyard question

[tribefan226]

the snow here (cinci) is really coming down and i gonna build up some takeoffs for my backyard rails. only problem is that its like 10 degrees outside so the snow is not packy at all. what should i do to get the ramps to hold together?

 

[slaydave]

i in cinci too man!!! 5-6 inches expected by midnight... head to perfect north for a midwest pow day man... screw the backyard... hit up perfects or head to the streets for urban!!!

 

[tribefan226]

cant get to perfects till they clear the roads tomorrow. my car cant do snow. do u know any good urban spots?

 

[Billek]

Salt.

 

[tribefan226]

what kind? like the stuff on da roads? i was thinkin maybe just pour on some water so that it freezes it into ice

 

[HeathR]

yes this and water and you can get a solid takeoff out of really light snow

 

[tribefan226]

i dont have money to buy the salt so can i just use water?

 

[HeathR]

yeah that will work fine

 

[tribefan226]

thanks. just need to let it snow another 30 min or so and ill go try it

 

[titsLOL]

if it's 10 degrees out and you dont mind waiting a couple minutes water will work better than salt anyway

PUT THEM TOGETHER AND PACK THEM IN WITH SOME WATER SO THEY DONT BLOW AWAY IN THE WIND.

Water & Salt

I used water on mine and it worked just fine

well the whole point of salt is it lowers the freezing point of water by dissolving into it then it re freezes making a thin layer of ice. so water and salt would be kinda pointless.best way to make take offs is to either build em outta dirt or ifs its too cold which it is prop up a peice of plywood or somethin like that then have a lil snow on top. making jumps all out snow is a waste of time and snow even if it packs well

 

[Wis_Skier_23]

using water can make your takeoff a pure ice block so here is what i do to limit the amount of water you put on your jump....take a spray bottle and just use accordingly and i have found it applies the water just as well over a larger area

cjea cjea. that will work wonders.

 

[nedward]

i use like a gardening piture(sp) and i just sprinkle water over my jump and pack it

i had the same problem last week. i just made a pile, packed the shit out of it. carved. packed. carved.

good packing methods are bouncing on it with your skis, or humping (no joke, just lay on your back and go nuts)
