backyard shreding

decent, I will look for some puckboard. Thanks!

20 foot long, 3 foot wide, corrugated pipe. And a barrel bonk. 

ur setups seem sick! im looking for some corrugated pipe whered u get it? im alsmot done with my box. 14 high 14 wide 12 feet long

Me and my friends hauled a funbox thing up to this little hill behind my one friends backyard and then we built a tiny little kicker to get onto it. The wood is surprisingly slippery but there's nail heads sticking out of it in some spots. It's really crappy but it's still fun. We're going to try and build some more stuff this year because he has a mini pipe in his backyard and we could probably have some fun with that.

nothing like getting hung up on a nail... let alone falling on it.

theres some pretty sweet setups here. i might have to try building something when i remodel the back yard.

Ill post some pics of my setup in a bit,it is pretty sweet. Got alot of snow to work with after last weeks snow storm.

hope photo works...quick shot of what my friend has set up in his yard. Goes to show you don't need a lot of space at all (the photo is snapped with my back against the fence), nor a lot of carpentry skill, or money.

Box is 10' long, and buried in about 2 feet of snow. The top sheet is puckboard! Great stuff, easy to use and didnt break the bank (about $30 with lots left over). The drop in is just shy of 6'. Super fun stuff, worth the few hours it took to get it rideable.



I have a set up in my yard too...i'll try to get some more shots up

sounds fun and dangerous

These are some great ideas! i need to get on this as soon as possible this summer. loved the snowgun plans, also the ice rink snow is great to put on grass! Man i need to get this setup!

man you have a solid back yard set up.   I really gotta get my act together and build some stuff like this.

Last year I covered a huge pile of logs with snow from my yard (with a snowblower). Set up a 2 x 4 rail and a plastic skate ramp. Worked great till the logs got icey and we couldn't climb up.

These pics helped alot I have a decent sized ravine in my back yard and I have been thinking about making a park down there for summer... what works the best turf or something else?

check the first page of this post.  i put up plans and some info for snowmaking at home.   google snowathome and you'll find just about everything you need to diy snow.  just check the requirements for whatever setup you do (i.e.- compressor/ pressure washer ratings).  so far i've made all my snow with what the site calls the "sg1",  that one only requires water and an air compressor (which are about $100 @ harbor freight).  i really am looking to upgrade and get a pressure washer too so i can output about 5-8 times the amount i currently do.   that way i only have to blow snow for a few nights and be set, now it takes a couple of weeks to get the park right (when i start from nothing). 

definitely gonna do this next year!

why can't it snow in the bay area so I can do this in my frontyard?

anyone have recommendations for places to buy astro turf? ive scored all the wood. now i just turf and snogel.

I wish it snowed in my backyard in Australia so i could set up some stuff like that, it looks soooo fun.

winter setup: building a few boxes and buying a rail!

Can't wait for the snow to fly here in Ohio (like that happens much) Really hoping for a "big" season in Columbus this year. I have a few things in my back yard I have wanted to try for almost 2 years now, but the past 2 winters have been a bust. My calculations are that if we get close to a foot on the ground (can be from different storms) I can do what I want to do in the back.
Currently drawing out plans for a box, but might end up welding a rail instead.

There are a bunch of natural "banks" and with a little shovel work, and the right amount of wetter snow, I could have a hell of a 1/4 pipe in my back yard.

My drop in, only problem is the turn at the bottom. But after that turn it opens up a ton so should till have enough speed to hit something after that turn:

 

It's hard to tell, but the right side is a good sized hill that is cleared out enough to ride, and at the bottom (to the left) is another embankment. This is why I want a big snow this season, I want to make a 1/4 with a side spine.



And for S&G's, I made a little 30 second vid of the back yard. Once December hits, all these slopes really open up. Most plants are gone, and can see things better.

this was my backyard setup 3 houses ago.  need to go back there this winter, it's a good time.

nice vid spens, nice backcountry backyard too.

@batmanwest- post some pics when you're done.  always make sure to share w/ the class.  My little bro came up with the post sleeve idea, cheap (like 50-60 in materials) and easy.  If we do one I'll post pics.  We'd do metal, but none of our crew should be messing with weldersOn the animal note, that stuff was crazy!  Sad to see animals die because of one dumbass.  Maybe they at least sent some meat to a local homeless shelter or something.  Wild animals are wild for a reason ppl, lets keep em that way. 

snowathome.com   for anyone that gets boned on the snow like we do here in the midwest.  For about 350 you can get the parts to make your own (harbor freight for compressor and pressure wash, Lowes for gun, sah for your nozzles).  Totally worth it.
