its on the 'Ho Chi Minh' path just north of Sewall and the rec center going downhill towards downtown. its a switchback trail where kids who live closer to pearl take to class.. it a pretty gnarly rail, would be dope to see someone hit it. it has one or two small nubs that you can slide over, but considering what skiers slide today, the nubs are nothing.

over the summer I took a picture of that rail right after they cleared the bushes out by the path b/c it looked htitable, but there was a chain link thing over the flat section at the end before the last down - but it looks like someone took care of that b/c it isnt where it was in the 2nd picture, so someone has to hit it now haha.

did they clear some trees/bushes from the edge of that? i'm pretty sure that was COMPLETELY impossible to hit previously..

I think so... last time I saw that rail it was overgrown with bushes and had about 20 bikes with no wheels chained to it.

yea all trees are cleared and the bikes are never really in the way, plus it will be winter so there will be less bikes, but yes this is definatly doable

Me and my roommate were talking about this rail two days ago as we walked by it. It's got a steep run in and a big pipe right before it takes the first turn. It can be greased for sure. Wasn't there a Level 1 movie where Travis Redd tried to hit it a few times?

That rail is so gnarly.  It isn't doable at all, it zig zags up the hill like 5 more times before that, and it's really steep.  Plus that last par is really close to the ground on one side.

Hah, true!  Let me quick change my statement, haha.

Dude, that rail is so sick! Where is that? It'd be so perfect for a lip 4 or or something.
