My SLC backyard rail setup has been amazing! 31 y/o and just learning park.

I made this drop-in loosely based on a post I found here on ns. I've been having jams and practice sessions in my backyard for the SLC community and it's been some of the most fun I've ever had. If you are in the SLC area, hmu! I've got a few different rails and I'm building more.

It's a super beginner or expert friendly environment and we don't have any patience for bad vibes.

I post invites and practice times on my IG story: @numbskull_co. Previous known as Skiing Fucks.

Credit to [tag=108659]@Kevin_[/tag] for the build inspiration
 
Looks fun af!

Keep at it, you'd be amazed how good at rails you can get just by hitting your setup regularly- and once the snow falls you can just throw some on the ramp and keep jamming into the winter.

was the nose snipe intentional??

anyway, fuuuck dude. i wish i had my old drop in still

Haha I love that you noticed that. In slomo, it looks so sick. Alas, it was not intentional. I was doing it all day due to jumping out of my left foot after my toe had already left the lip. Unintentional steeze. Not sure why I was doing that.

Yoooo thats sick! love the wood sides on the 2nd feature. That's a great idea so you don't break a leg getting tangled in a high rail. I think ill build one!

front 2 looking good, nice work man. No doubt you're gonna kill it when you get out there on some real snow

Thanks! Biggest thing that helped was putting a plank on a couple cinderblocks and practicing swapping back and forth. I had to really force myself to jump out of my front foot and actively spin my back foot.

I get the most fulfilment out of life by sharing my passions with others, so its a win-win! Wish you were close enough to swing by!
 
If you can shred that well on a summer setup then you’re gonna be rockin and rollin by the time snow flies. Summer setups are always fun but I always found it easier to do tricks on features with snow.

Let's go dude! Looks mad fun! Also those joyrides look so good. How are you liking them?

Thanks! Im loving them so far! Can't wait to get them on snow. Gotta try not to destroy them before the snow comes haha.

I don't wanna hear another person on this forum bitch about skiing park in their mid 20s ever again, nice work man

People do that? Haha. I moved to SLC in 2018 and learned to ride mtb, climb, and ski all at the age of 27. Im not the best at them, but I have seen huge progression and am obsessed.
