Okay Question: what equipment do I need? So far myself I've found out I need lights, a generator, Water(??) and a take off - bungee rope. Anything I am forgetting? Never tried it before so I would like you guys to describe in detail how to set up the "camp" :) +K for those who Karma is important
If my english sounds sloppy it's because it's second language :>
 
shovel

drop in ramp if you don't have a bungee setup

handwarmers

skis that you don't care much for
 
Yeah, urbaning in new skis is not really recommended. Have you ever noticed that in ski movies and edits pros are always using the current years skis during urban even though they already have next years. Urban rails aren't meant to be skied on so they sometimes have things that can catch on you skis (add metal file and wire brush to that list - metal file for little nubs and nicks, wire brush for rust and paint), not too mention you might end sliding down concrete stairs or land on concrete.
 
Det er ikke for at hate, men du skal vide at det er noget helt andet at slide urban rails end park rails. Kan du slide alle rails i parken komfortabelt så er du måske klar til at forsøge dig med noget urban, men før du kan sige det uden at lyve, skal du nok vente lidt med at købe for meget urban gear. Just sayin.
 
get a spotter for cops. Honestly, if someone can spot the cops from when there afar. You can move some things and use the "cross country skiing" defense
 
i just have, like, 100+ft of extension cords... most rails I hit usually have a plug in (house, building, whatever) near enough to not need a generator.
 
make a thread saying you want urban condition skis in size minumum - size maximum.

you should get several replies within 24 hours
 
Det skal nok gå, jeg forventer ikke at det bliver perfect i år, men det er bedre end ingenting og det der med gear. Jeg mangler kun ski jeg har resten ;) Har ikke købt det, min far har bare sådan nogen ting liggende.
Og det sq fedt at se en dansker på Newschoolers! Hvor du fra? Hvor står du på ski? ovs...
 
Jamen saa er det bare paa med vanten! Men som sagt tidligere, brug ikke dine nye ski til det, de bliver fucked med det samme.
Jeg er fra Kbh, men bor pt i england hvor den staar paa dryslope og snowdomes. Saa lige at du skal et aar til the big US. Jeg ville klart foreslaa at gaa efter Colorado eller Utah, de andre steder saasom Cali, Oregon og Washington kan du risikere at ende ret langt fra skisportssteder.
 
Fedt, det havde jeg ogsaa gjort. Men du skal nok proeve at undgaa mormon familierne, med mindre du vil praedikes til i et helt aar. Men PC har en rigtig vild park som du nok har set i edits, og inden for raekkevidde er et par rigtig fede BC steder saasom Brighton, Alta, Snowbird o.s.v. Held og lykke med det.
 
i kinda think if youre asking what you need for urban, youre not ready for an urban rail. urban rail hits are no joke. be careful and use caution.
 
i have 2 pairs of 181 dumonts $60 each170 ar5s mounted with weird race bindings $60173 6th sense $75 because i still ride them and would have to take the bindings off176 original ar5s $60172 t halls $95 because I still ride them and they are already mounted. $130 and you can have them with the bindings 168 1260s $10 but that would be a bad deal for you. They are in awful shape
if you are interested in anything i can take pictures
 
just realised i already got rid of 1 pair of the 181 dumonts. I did find another pair of 176 dumonts though
 
All you really need is a drop in and a car to get it there.
At night generator and lights are required if you want to film. A 4WD truck is also really nice for hauling everything and driving across school fields and stuff in the snow.

 
you can use your normal skis, not a huge deal especially if you put enough snow down so that you dont run out onto concrete etc. if its all snow it wont be any more damaging than a normal rail in a park

that said, if that's not the case, you can probably find some cheap used skis for this purpose. although you would also have to buy bindings for them etc, and personally i cant stand using shitty bindings. ive had too many bad experiences with shitty bindings prereleasing for me to ever fuck with that again

i have a 6 foot really steady drop in ramp for my yard set up. its really strong, well built but weighs a shit ton. anyone have any advice on building portable drop in ramps for urbans?

+k for help
 
Unless the cops a comlete moron thats not gonna work. If at night it would be hard to tell if its cop or not until its to late. There would still be a ramp and obvious signs of what your doing.
 
banshee bungee. but those are like 200$. just go and get a bunch of exercise elastic bands and braid them together. then attach pvc to the end for a handle and voila! homemade banshee bungee.
 
does this work?? i have been thinking about making my own....not really down to spend like 200 bucks on something that has a warrenty of 1 year.
 
Make sure you film it! Because urban sucks balls....and the only point of doing it is because it looks sick on film.
