Hey fellow gooners and park rats, I just found out my uni is having a rail jam with a $2000 prize, me being the poor bastard I am have decided to bust out my old park skis in an attempt to save my bank account. The problem? I haven't hit a rail since my tall tee days in high school.

The rail jam is on friday and there aren't any ski resorts near my uni not to mention no snow so finding a rail to get some practice in on is going to be difficult. Anyone have any last minute tips or advice before I break my body in front of 600 drunk university students?
 
just posting so i can hear how it goes afterward

+1 do a flip, +1 buy full tilts, +1 drink beforehand, +1 do a disaster for sure
 
+1 for flips. The chances of the judges having the slightest idea how to score a rail jam are slim to nil. Thus, do backflips. Backflip the lips, backflip the rollers, and better yet, backflip onto and off of boxes. Basically, the more backflips you do the better. Skill counts for nothing when you can backflip.
 
Step One: Skip Rail Jam.Step Two: Go get black out drunk somewhere far from the rail jam.

Step Three: Start training right now.

Step Four: Spend the next 5 years training for the rail jam while inventing a time machine.

Step Five: Go back in time and win said rail jam.

Step Six: Leave cash under your pillow for you to find on Saturday Morning.

Step Seven: Give me 20 bucks of your prize money for my awesome idea. I expect it in full by Monday morning. PM me for my paypal. If you don't pay up, I'm going to kick your ass.

I'll be waiting.
 
Thanks guys for the serious, and not serious responses. Getting pretty stoked, the student union is going pretty all out for this, a couple concerts and shows are going on after along with free meals so either way I'm going to have killer time. I'll update you guys after with whatever the hell happens.
 
Be the drunkest man there and turn it into a party, crowd favourite always reigns supreme. Shotgun beers while dropping in, eat shit and get up and claim it, make out with some chicks in the crowd, just be the fucking man.

get as much speed as possible, and spin as hard as you can. with any luck, you'll tap the end of the rail and won't fall, and can claim a 450 on/630 on
 
Right before you slip off lean in the opposite direction. You can then claim it to be a nose/tail pres.

That and threads for when you deliver. And you will deliver, OP.
 
Well, I just looked at your college's website, and they said they would have some boxes set up. I'd butter the hell out of it, that should get the crowd fired up.
 
Whelp, I'm quite late. Not too many people showed up for skiing and there were only boxes so I got 3rd place winning a sweater, shirt, new gloves and 50 bucks. I haven't really tried to get any of the photos my friends took but here are a couple of photos taken by the photography club.

Not sure who this kid was but he bailed pretty hard quite a bit.

I had a killer time though, I'll be getting back into park after having that much fun.
