How To Easily Build A Snowboard Rail

Building a snowboard rail is not as difficult as it may seem. The main thing your going to need is a long narrow piece of metal railing. If you don't want to buy a railing you can probably find one at a junkyard.

Once you have your railing you need to pack some snow up on the side of it. So you have a soft landing, be certain that you pack snow on both sides of the railing. Grinding rails is more difficult to do with a big snowboard than with a smaller skateboard.

Did you know that snowboarders got the idea to grind rails from skateboarders. Yep, snowboarders saw how much fun the skateboarders were having and wanted to start grinding themselves.

Now that you know how to build your own snowboard rail, make sure to gain enough speed, you have a long wide open area. You'll fall if your going too slowly. But don't worry, just keep trying and eventually you'll get it right.

this article BLOWS! fist what u do is take a 15 foot rail that is about 2-4 inches around. then u drill 3 holes in the bottom half of it. u burry 3 steel rods in the snow however high u want yer rail. (make sure the rods r spaced apart by how the holes r drilled) finally lay the rail on and it should work fine. i made one last weekend.

id just buy a rail. they may b pretty xpensive but do some reserch and make sure its bilt 2 last. i dont think pvc would b worth it. if its 2 cold out, it could freeze and crack under ur weight (not saying ur fat or anything).
