Yo, over here in New England it's gettin warm out and the snow is melting, sadly :( I want to keep up my rail skillz over the summer to get em betta. what do i need and how do i make a rail in the summer and what do i ski on? someone ik said tarp but idk bout how that'll work.
 
probably wana check out Build-A-Jib 101 cult.. (i think thats what its called).

might get some more comprehensive answers than on here..

..also searchbar would probably pull up a bunch too
 
ok this is easy, et some 2x4s and some PVC pipe is the cheapest, use snowgel or soap, and get mini golf turf. its what i do, me and my friends jib it all the time. i also live in new england
 
i make quite a bit of money over the summer, so pretty open i guess. im gonna get the rail and make a drop in with wood then put turf on it, and build a stand for the rail with wood.
 
Dude, seriously, PVC is definitely the way to go. You can make a PVC rail in a few hours and it takes no maintenance, whereas you have to sand, paint, lubricate, etc. a metal rail to make it smooth, and to make it nice you have to weld and it would take quite a while. Unless you buy one, which even tho u make a lot would be a shit ton you can spend on other stuff.
 
pvs isnt sticky at all. i think it slides better than the rails at my local mountain, and you dont even have to wax it. plus its super cheap
 
Yeah dude, pretty most people on this site uses PVC, and those who don't are the few people who are willing to put the effort into building metal ones, but PVC is the way to go.
 
and if at any point it does start to stick for whatever reason

However big u want the rail to be.... I have a double barrel w/ 2 1/2" PVC and a foot and a half one and a 6" one... It's just preference
 
just built a new 10 foot pvc rail for under 30 dollars. made it in under an hour too. beyond easy
 
if you look on youtube there are a bunch of tutorials and stuff like that just search like how to make a pvc rail or jib or something along those lines
 
Urban isn't really gonna work with astroturf, being that you can't carve or hold an edge on it even... Idk maybe if you set it up diagonally or something it might work
 
for a 10 ft rail: take 4x4s of however tall you want it to be and screw 3 of those into a 10ft 2x4. then screw supports into the bottom of the 4x4s, maybe like 2 or 2 1/2 feet. then turn the whole thing upside down and get like 2 inch pvc and put screws down through the top 2x4 into it. takes about an hour, cost of about 30 dollars
 
if your building a drop in from scratch that will be around $70-$100 then the rail should be under thirty if you make a pvc one
