RomeOp Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 just tossing the idea around of having an ice rink rail jam in the near future to make up for what didn't go down tonight. If you have any ideas pitch them or if you'd like to help out organizing if something were to go down, post here or email me...lwd84@rcn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papasteeze Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 You can't count steezemachine in to participate - I'll do what I can to organize/help transport whatever I can do. I dunno anything about rinks - but the fake carpet snow thing sounds really cool - got a million dollars? Here is a question? Can a snow machine/fan like at the ones at BC be enclosed in a cooled down building and be forced to make snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeOp Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 let me clarify a little...in the past i have gotten a group of friends with trucks and we went out to the ice rink and shoveled the shavings into the beds and drove to our spot. to small pick-up beds (ford ranger size) was enough for a run in with a lip and a landing/run-out. obviously i don't plan on this lasting more than a few hours, but with alot of trucks and utilizing all of the rinks in the area(a-town and vicinity) alot could happen. I wasn't thinking anything outragoeus, but something fun could be made out of it. I work in the snowboard shop at nestors and have lots of contacts as far as reps and such to possibly get some product for giveaways. (maybe even the guy starting the company in jersey could help out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyro_boarder Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 they do it in europe. I mean if teh french can do it we should be able to do it over night. 26101[/snapback] You have to have a really good air conditioner and it would be really expensive. Speaking of ice rinks, how cold do they keep them? Maybe we can sneak a snow gun in. A rail session would be really cool. It wouldn't even have to be big. Maybe a make a video to promote the site and just to have some fun. Hey! I have a pickup truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHarrisburg Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 If I come back to the east coast for a week or two (most likely last week of may and first of june) there's a ton of handrails I want to hit up. All I need is a crew. I'll let you guys know if I'll be back any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schif Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Sounds really cool. I know a hardcore hockey player w/ tons of ins at the Ice Box, and he has a pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 yeah i dunno how long the snow is gonna hang around after they dump it outside of the rink during the summer, so everything's gotta be organized. we've set up rails at northampton high school, we took rails from the skatepark down the street and used those, it worked out ok, but there were only like 6 or 7 of us hitting stuff, not a huge crowd.

mbike-ski Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 What would be involved with doing a rail jam in a rink? My son and I both play hockey at the Steel Ice Center in Bethlehem and I could talk tothem about it. I'm sure it would depend on how much open ice time they have and how bad they want to fill those slots but it could be a cool promotional event for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jam would not be IN the rink, but rather use the shavings from the rink that they just discard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
