Also any tips on rails first year trying non box stuff. I plan on adding height once snow comes.



Also all I got for a drop so far, was better when I made it

yo if that’s where youre skiing use your deck for a drop in. build a little drop in setup that just props up against the deck. buy a 10 ft 1in diameter pvc at the hardware store and 1 or 2 2x4s, use a spade drill bit to drill 1’1/4 holes through the 2x4 lengthwise and then put pvc rungs so it looks like a ladder and then u can drop in off the deck

For sure yeah that’s the plan to drop in off the deck, that’s dope tho might try out your idea for the drop in. I was just gonna build I bigger snow mound and drop off some wood blocks

if you’re struggling for snow for a lip don’t wanna use it all for the drop in ?

Nah for sure it just melts so fast here



also just a sketch but is this what your getting at? And just ride the pvc down?

yes exactly, youll still need snow at the base of it so your tips dont just dig into the ground but u can also put extra pvc rungs/ add another part of wood there to mellow out the angle so its a smoother transition

Yeah I mean doing what your doing is one of two ways to get onto a rail on the ground. Other way is to Ollie on. Nothing wrong with the step on if it works for you.

Yeah I’d just practice a couple of ollies. Once you get the hang of them you can do them pretty much anywhere onto small stuff

You could also construct a lil dry slope lip and drop in with astroturf or construction fencing, and then with even a lil dusting of snow you are money

You could make a drop in from your deck hella cheap with a piece of plywood and a few 2x4s and do the same for a lil Lip
