Its been years since anyone hit it, does anyone know where it is? I'm talking about the one in Ski Movie... Kreitler did a 3 over it?
 
If I remember correctly, Brad Holmes backflips it towards the beginning of Ski Movie One
 
um, i know what you are talking about. i believe it's in Tahoe. donner pass area. I may be mistaken though.

and earlier still Evan raps gaps some tracks - might be the same location, might not. it would make sence if it was though 'cause they're all from the tahoe area.
 
yeah, it's on donner summit, near tinkers knob. you have to have a snowmoblie to get there, its basically a railroad tunnel that gets covered in snow.
 
hehe i know exactly where it is. cold stream canyon then follow the tracks.If you go and die, by reading this you release liability. ha

I'm not sure thats it, as sick as that is. The location I remember had a kicker that cam out of some trees, and the skier went over the open tracks, with the train going under it. I'm ripping SM1 right now, I'll have a vid in a few.
 
i remeber an old school picture of someone dropping over a big yellow train, with lots of fluffy poww pillows, is that what you're thinking of?
 
i believe it was the cover shot for "chapter 3" from a long time ago, evan raps "iron cross 3" no grab. also had a FREEZE mag featured photo of skogen sprang corked with no grab, maybe a "skodeo" seven? all many years ago. unfortunately i dunno where, donner pass seems the most likely, def cali.
 
there are 2 different gaps there is the one that Evan Raps, Skogen Sprang, and jamie Burge hit... Even hit it 1st with a straight air then he hit it again , the train came and he did a 360 iron cross, then Skogen hit it and did a no Grab Flat spin 3 over it, then Shane anderson hit it with a back flip and finally jamie burge with a straight air.. that was in Chapter 3..

the 2nd train gap at a different location on donner Summit which has about 20 feet more to clear and not nearly as step landing was hit in ski movie 2 not 1, Brad Holmes, rod Adams, kent Kreitler and Jamie Burge hit it, Jamie straight aired it, Kent did a big tucked up 360, Brad holmes a laid out back flip and Rod Adams did a lincon loop... and since then the gaps havent really been hit that much, i think a massive cork
 
i've driven that road many times... I'm certain that there are lots and lots of places you could jump over those tracks and make it sick. CR Johnson has that line in one movie with the jumping off a tunnel at the top... that's the same area.
 
those are all the old train tunnels up in donner pass. there is alot of places you could jump them. real sick
 
Ya its raps.

i have hit the train gap its @ donner pass above the lake.  The gap is about 65 feet and is kinda sketch because the trees so close to the end of the landing.
 
no the train tunnels in donnor pass are broken into peices. the train gap has been done in multiple locations, but the one you are talking about is right at the beginning of one of the tunnels. im sure people do it more often, but they just dont film it
 
ya thats the one, i have heard of many others.  There are a tone of people i know that have done different ones.
 
I jumped it also with calskierx-pictures to go up somepoint in the near future. It was pretty awesome, though considering there are miles of it the part you are thinking of is probably somewhere else nearby.
 
well the one raps and those guys hit you cant sled to. and the reason not to many people hit it anymore is its kinda played, no one seems interested since theres Way better stuff in tahoe to build thats more origional.
 
it is awesome that calskierx has a girlfriend that likes skiing.

(you are his gf arent you?!! shoot me if not.)
 
ya sure nick, how many people do you see going out to film and build kickers over the train gap that was done in the 90s. ya like I was sayin, old dudes dont give a fuck anymore and neither does anyone else. Im not sayin its not legit, or not fun, but how many times has it been in movies. fuck lets go hit clayton while were at it, no ones hit those rails.
 
urban is a joke. Everyone ive ever gone with hasnt thrown down. il go when someone picks something big and i might get hurt.
 
man, i used to have an old powder mag (i think it was a photo issue) and it had a bunch of huge gaps. there was that train one from ski movie as well as the one that rod adams overshoots and breaks his back. i wish i still had it. there were a bunch of other ones too. ski movie is sweet, but i don't have a tv or vcr to watch it on anymore. way to bring back the old school!
 
thats because your sitting in the car putting you shit on while every one else is working on the rail.

If no one is throwing down why dont you try...
 
ya, ok, your the only one huh? ive made any rail you have and more, who has a fucking urban ramp and actually uses it, you better not lump me into the category of people who dont step up.
