Oshawa Ski Club (aka Kirby)

Its NOT plywood...it is made from...

2" steel pipe
Plywood Base
3/4 Plastic Ride Surface

its solid..I don't kid around..I want this stuff to last, and be a solid ride...remember I ride this stuff too, so I have an idea at least how things should be built.

If you notice, I marked out each foot higher along the right side...just to settle any rider disputes...

Ours will just be a railingacross the back...with pads on it...so if someone over shoots the top....there is something to catch them....

What I'm having difficulty with is the railing to catch people idea....lol...

I want to go with a transistion on the back side that if you do happen to go over, there is a "landing" tranny to accept you to earth again....it seems like a good idea to me...I just need to do some research.

Where the wall is set up, this is very do-able, and possibly a better answer then the padded rail.

and I gotta say....

I was at Dagmar wednesday, meeting with the owners and the Durham Region Tourism department to try and get an action plan in place to positively promote the industry....Your park looks good guys...Love the artwork...

I stopped in to see Rieky at Lakerridge, Peeked at the wall...(well the back of the wall) neato...

and then on to Skyloft...to be honest...i didn't see much there....but it does have a nice view....

See.....we can all be friends....

I was at the hill...wall looks dope. Instead of a gaurd rail, i might suggest a small deck with a railing. That way if someone overshoots it, they just fall a couple feet onto a deck, rather than risking getting a leg caught in the rail. Also, it would produce a wicked area to film from!
