I want to build a rail to practice this summer. I know how to make the ramp and what surface to use. But I do not know how to build the rail. I can't have anything permanent like in the ground. I was thinking I would get a 6x6 and attach some metal pipes on the top of the sides. Then to stop it from tipping it over I would attach the 6x6 to a couple pieces of plywood. This was my first season skiing so I don't know how long it should be or how high the rail needs to be so that I don't hit my skis on the ground if I try a switch up. Any suggestions?
 
screw some pvc onto wood

it doesnt have to be to high

you'll probably want higher than a foot though

mines not but when i sw. up my skis sometimes hit ground but it doesnt cause to much of a problem
 
I heard that PVC shaves away. I guess this isn't a real problem??? I'm really not that good and I don't want to bust my ass bc my edge got caught up in a gash on the PVC
 
i typed "build jib" into the searchbar (its locatiion is approx. above the gear preview link) and got all these threads in which this topic has been thoroughly discussed...next time you decide to make a thread, try researching using previously mentioned bar to make sure you dont annoying thousands of NS members.
