Why make a rail when you can buy one?

I prefer a circular saw and an unsuspecting handrail at the local park. Since I do pay taxes for it after-all.

They make backyard rails, i dont know if they are good or not though

Because that rail might be $50 in material and that box is probably less than $100 in material.

Some people want the satisfaction of making things themselves and some people want a turn-key solution such as jibs for cribs. It all depends on how much money you want to spend and how much work you want to put into your setup.

ya i looked at the price... MUCH rather make one
 
Even better question: Why spend a stupid amount of money on that when you can build a pvc rail for practically nothing?
 
Built Not Bought.

When I made mine with my best friend, it was actually really fun and it didn't cost nearly as much. If you have the money and don't have the time to make one, go ahead and buy one. But I thought making it ourselves was way more fun.

Also, if you're a more advanced skier, you can make way more fun features by yourself. It just depends on what you want to get out of it I suppose.
 
this is a horrible thread. OP doesn't even agree with his own statement

yep thats exactly how taxes work
 
Honestly.. I should start welding up legit backyard rails for reasonable prices. 700% profit is a little ridiculous.
 
Their rails are only 8' long? If they're charging that much, it should be a whole damn mini park and a drop in!

Adjustable length legs are cool though. I might have to build those for my next pvc rail.

And to OP: recycled pvc, wood, and other building materials are pretty cheap, and setups are fun to build and customize for your own enjoyment. It's a lot more fun riding something you've built than bought.

I will say mSnow is worth the money for surfacing a drop in though! It's turned out to be reasonably fast, and provides crucial edge hold for practicing 2's on. Much nicer than plastic lattice, carpet, or turf.
 
there ain't a better thing than building and trying to figure out cool jibs and setups with your friends!
 
hell i made a rail for free, found some pvc at a construction site near my house, drilled some old 2x4s on it and bam.
 
So they make a 30feet dfd for....3k??? What the actual fuck? 3k??? I can buy a dam good tramp for 2.5k and make a full summer setup for 500$, and it'll be done before they deliver...I wonder if anyone on this website was stupid enough to buy their shit...

Please film this if you try it, a circular saw against a metal handrail will not go over well
 
A 24 foot flat rail costs as much as my entire season pass budget for the season, and I ride Big Sky, which has $1200 season passes. That's why people build their own rails. I built a flat box when I was in high school and I think the total material cost was about $100 including the HDPE and I spent about a week of class time in the woodshop at school building it.
