If you had to pick anyyyyyy jib you wanted to ride on in a park, what would it be? If i was a park designer i would make a 100 foot,3 foot wide, flat box 3 feet off the ground. Can you imagine that, or even a 100 foot flat rail with the same demensions. Insane

I was going to say just a wide box that is uber long like you all described. But in insane rail would be a loop, I dont think it would be possible to clean though. Or maybe a rail like that the corkscrew rail but it goes under the upper part, like a full circle.

Bear had a rail with those exact dimentions last year. There was a contest to see who could be the first person to slide it and get it on film. I forget what the prize was.
Personally, I'd either want the down flat down that Mammoth had last year (20 feet down, 5 foot flat, 20 foot down) or a nice 40 foot long 3 inch wide mellow downrail.

40' long, mellow, down handrail, set up street style... Park City has a beautiful one. Or a giant battleship box.

My favorite would be a 4 foot wide box, that went straight for 10 feet then downhill 20 feet then straight 20 feet then a 5 foot drop at the end to a soft steep landing. Like a sliding board woo hoo. For a rail, I would say one that was circular and flat. The real good jibbers might be able to do a full rotation. It would be good to practice balance on and fun to watch others on.

Mountain creek has that setup every year, although this year they extended the rail to 60 feet. There is a video of it on creeks website. Last year they pulled it out for a quadruple step down rail that was retarded, i was quite mad.
My personal favorite would be a big battleship box or a flat-down rail with a short flat and a long down section. ALways wanted to try a flat-down-flat rail and land on the down thats so smooth

Uhm, have u been to Blue yet this year? There's a 45' [I think] battleship box, n there's a flat-down-flat, among many others..
I can't dream up my ideal rail cuz I'm def not good enough on em yet to really be creative.. altho, anything I could hit n not die on, I'm down.

I thought it was like 46, or was it 48. You're both wrong

. haha
My dream rail, though it would be impossible, would be a long ass rail going down the bottom 3/4 of sidewinder, right through the middle. haha, i'd get 10 feet.
OR
An s rail that curves up like a c bow, going right into a rollercoaster, right into a corkscrew
OR
A 60 foot, maybe 6" wide street style rail?

(most reasonable of the three)

ha that monster rainbow at keystone owned me last year..board went on one side, i went the other, ended up doing a back flip over the rail and landed on my feet somehow, with no problem at all..very lucky ..that coulda been baaaad..that thing is a beast.
hstove
Jan 18 2006, 04:14 PM
the rainbow they just put in at liberty is the best rail i've ever done... at the top of it you're like 20 feet off the ground and its such a tight feeling especially the first time you do it.
my ideal rail would be like, a kicker that sent you like...15 feet in the air... and at the peak of the jump you would hit like a 5 foot long, 1 foot wide box that was raised up on a groomer or something, then you'd slide off into a super smooth transition. That would be heaven.

yea it was tight, but near the end of the day some little kids started using it as a quarter pipe and flattened the lip..

... but the tightest part about it is that it starts like 4 feet wide, then at the top its like 4 inches, then it re-widens to 4 feet.

gap on should be preferable for anybody that uses the park. ride on stuff just isnt challenging. a lot of people can just ride right onto a rail and 50/50 it. id like to see them try to jump 6 feet onto one. hahaha
