+10 awesome points if you highfive someone going up.

 

[i.ski.NC]

My balls are hurting just looking at that.

 

[SkiThe603]

okay Nick Martini

 

[.frenchy]

But you have to 50-50 it.. or else you suck

 

[Fritz_Wetherbee]

You literally cannot see the start of the rail. It's got to be over 100 yards long

 

[.squirrely.]

um wheres the snow?

 

[Shenanigans]

I'll mail you a cookie if you give that a solid attempt

It says "Jacobs Ladder is the world's longest straight staircase, rising over 1000ft up a sheer cliff above the distillery.

Chad's gap of rails? Epic name? check. Hard to get to get to? check. Insane? check.

 

[Ski_ThEast]

1000 gnar points for attempting?

 

[Bi-ShredinalGuy]

wow what if you skipped the rail and just gapped it?

 

[Obie.]

oh my god,,take a good minute or so to slide it all the way

 

[Mr.Huck]

This and the OP's are unreal. On the off chance that you might actually stay on the whole way, better pack a lunch.

 

[messplay]

i just calculated that if it is 1000ft long (give or take 20 feet or so)

and it is at a 35 degree incline pitch then you will be going roughly 128mph by the time you swap at the very bottom.

lord have mercy.

 

[JakeSalvador]

I think a ski slide would be way more legit. haha.

 

[joshua]

There's even lights so you could hit it night.

 

[Mr.Huck]

Win! Long live 128 mph swaps.

 

[cooper.fry]

your speed from that thing would either

a) break the sound barrier

b) create a black hole

c) beat a black man in a race

either way, history is going to be made.

 

[corona]

on a more realistic note:

6-kink S rail.

 

[Gameboy]

perspective at its finest.

 

[joshua]

I wonder how sliding stairs on your back, at 128 mph would feel.....

 

[A.Eberhard]

Is that museum of civilization in Ottawa?

 

[garrettwiz]

[tripnip]
