How do urban skiers get speed

[tutipups]

i already heard of some of them using big things with engines to pull themselves put how do normal people get speed while urban skiing

If you're broke build a drop-in tower out of snow or something like these

I've also seen people drop in on what appears to be a ladder. Snow pump tracks might help to maintain speed. Bungee cords are good but they're hard to find.

I know a lot of people used banshee bungees, but I don't think those are sold anymore.

Banshee Bungees or winches are how most people do it.

I don’t believe so. There’s usually at least one on here for sale.

Car and finding spots with natural speed

It’s a secret method only the most hardened street rats know:

1) put skis on ground facing rail with bindings down

2) stand ~30 paces away

3) run as fast as you can at skis, jumping right before you get to the skis

4) click in instantly, the momentum from you running will send you forward at warp speed

5) hit feature

takes some practice but once you get it you’ll be tee’ing off on features you never thought possible

I've built several drop in ramps over the years, but my current is my best made of a warner ladder

whats a pole whip?

 

[aaafilms]

couple of ways like banshee bungees, snow drop ins, and winches

 

[SlitherySnake]

if you have a couple hundred bucks and some basic fabrication skills you can build a decent winch with those little 212cc harbor freight engines. even if you don't have a welder you can just bolt the frame together. (several good youtube videos on how to do it)

Two buddies grab the end of each of your poles, standing on either side of you, and slingshot you at the rail. Kinda like when you're on a cat track and you let a snowboarder grab your pole to give him a little pull except one or two dudes do it on foot

They used to be super common. There's one at 0:36 here in case my description didn't cut it lol

Do you have pics of the platform you made for it? The HG homies used that ladder for a drop in as well. Would love to see your take on it.

a few years ago, i came across one of these ( I will not say how) normally 350-400 hundred dollars. but all i did was take the stupid top red bar off, so you had room to put on skis, and build a drop in ramp that attaches with hooks
