The shittiest location for a setup, but we succeeded

After i was forced to take down my old setup by the guy that owned the lot that i built it on i was in a delima. We own this shitty piece of land above a cliff behind our house, and it's pretty small. Every .5 feet theres a good sized rock. After 2 weeks of breaking shit and raking the area out i was pretty much ready to build, but our starting platform had to be built on the most piece of shit rock pile ever. So we began going to home depot, buying shit, coming back and building shit. Eventually we ended up with what we wanted. We moved over 200 rocks, broke over 50 rocks, spent over 10 hours raking and breaking shit. This is what it looked like before we built:

And after 2 weeks of pain in the ass building we ended up with:

The setup also includes the new rail i created today, 20' long double barrel and our old 16' box.

Cheers,

haha, don't tell me about shitty locations: i was forced to use the roof from our garden shed thats about to collapse, so first i had to rebuild the shed and then somehow build my drop-in over the roof....it sucked, but its almost finished now.... :D
 
i wouldn't necessarily call it lucky, i have over 30+ of planning on how to build it so it didn't end up on failblog. And for the cost, not exactly sure; the price was split between me and some friends and has been built over the last few weeks, i'd say for everything including the setup, box, rail, and turf, a few hundred; not that much if your splitting it.
 
Appriciate it, and yeah the area we had was really difficult, so many rocks and it's just dirt and it's on a hill, but we got it done.
 
No, im not lucky i have a hill. It has shitty rocks every 2 inches, its all dirt, totally uneven terrain. I spent 3 hours today evening out the terrain the rail lay correctly on it. I wish i just had a flat grassy area.
 
yea you are lucky. You have a better setup overall than ours stop complaining and ski. Seriously your setup is an epic win and I can tell you spent A LOT of time on it so just seriously consider your self lucky that you finished it not every kid has a fucking JUMP AND RAIL in his own fucking back yard.

I'll say it nicely.

Shut up and shred.

 
Hah word man, i get where your coming from, but my point being that it wasn't givin to me. I have 30+ pages of designing planning, spent hundreds on buying shit, and hours after hours of preparing and building, and i'm glad i did. word.
 
here's mine, its also a quite shitty location (in my case at least); try building a set-up on a gardenshed that's about to collapse... :D

^^lower part still needs to be finished, is gonna be equally wide as the top half and ofcourse more tarp (this was just a test-setup....)

 
i finished it up last weekend! I put plywood over the 2x4's on the runup (i was catching edges), and i added stairs. It's 20x sicker now, ill post pics and an edit eventually
