Hi Newschoolers! I have always been really stoked on watching peoples summer rail edits, it's fun to see all the creative setups and new tricks people come up with in their backyards in the summer. This summer I have gathered some really cool prizes from my sponsors and I'm launching a summer rail edit contest. I hope everybody who continues skiing in the summer will participate and together we'll make this into a really fun thing for everyone!

https://www.newschoolers.com/watch/773659.0/The-Summer-Rail-Challenge---Edit-Contest

Check out the contest website for all the info, rules, prizes & more:

The submission deadline is the 1st of September.

Let me know if you have any questions about the contest!

My friends and I are going to choose the winners, we're looking for creativity of sick tricks and rail setups, style, editing and the general impressiveness of the edit.

If someone doesn't have a rail setup yet but wants to enter the contest, check out the Build-A-Jib 101 cult for some good tips on how to build a backyard setup.

Thanks, I think we are going to end up each sending in our own edits, however, we only have one setup. It's okay if we all use the same setup, right?

I'm trying. If I actually finish my drop in I can guarantee a shot of a rail around 73 feet long, 83 if I build another rail. I'm gonna need a hell of a lot of time to get that shot though....

Can we use skate rails or rails from an actual terrain park, or do we have to use a homemade pvc and wood rail?

I doubt the rail itself would matter as long as youre hitting it with a setup and not snow

You should post an edit of that, I would be stoked to see an indoor rail edit! Creativity is important in this contest ! :)

I'm not sure yet I'm able to go to Les Deux Alpes this summer, but I would be really stoked to go there again for sure! It's always good times there.

Yep, the rail material can be anything (wood, plastic, metal etc.) as long as you're not skiing on snow.

Unfortunately I ditched most of the parts, and left my blades at the mountain...

Yeah the park this years looks really fun, they added a lane in the jib section (rail/boxes section). I remember seeing you a few times buttering it hard last year :D
