might sound obscure but we've got some siiiiccckkk stuff in alberta
calgary's city planners were gods because they put up guard rails around all of the perfect switchback paths in the valley
aka a plethora of perfect C's
all of the stairs in the Edmonton river valley have these massive flat wooden railings beside them so the city is full of perfect 100ft+ rails.
and St Albert is just rediculas. to bad the cops are assholes

It started with skating, then it builds, soon enough you see everything as in "is it possible to set up a little booter to do that"

^why? i like nobbles on the end.

Rails don't usually make me think about skiing, because usually I'm already thinking about skiing anyways. But if i'm thinking about airs , yeah dope rails make me think about rails instead. You've got to go scope it out and see if it's do-able then come back and slay it.
