RomeOp Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 just tossing the idea around of having an ice rink rail jam in the near future to make up for what didn't go down tonight. If you have any ideas pitch them or if you'd like to help out organizing if something were to go down, post here or email me...lwd84@rcn.com Quote
Papasteeze Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 You can't count steezemachine in to participate - I'll do what I can to organize/help transport whatever I can do. I dunno anything about rinks - but the fake carpet snow thing sounds really cool - got a million dollars? Here is a question? Can a snow machine/fan like at the ones at BC be enclosed in a cooled down building and be forced to make snow? Quote
RomeOp Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Posted April 30, 2005 let me clarify a little...in the past i have gotten a group of friends with trucks and we went out to the ice rink and shoveled the shavings into the beds and drove to our spot. to small pick-up beds (ford ranger size) was enough for a run in with a lip and a landing/run-out. obviously i don't plan on this lasting more than a few hours, but with alot of trucks and utilizing all of the rinks in the area(a-town and vicinity) alot could happen. I wasn't thinking anything outragoeus, but something fun could be made out of it. I work in the snowboard shop at nestors and have lots of contacts as far as reps and such to possibly get some product for giveaways. (maybe even the guy starting the company in jersey could help out . Quote

Speaking of ice rinks, how cold do they keep them? Maybe we can sneak a snow gun in. A rail session would be really cool. It wouldn't even have to be big. Maybe a make a video to promote the site and just to have some fun. Hey! I have a pickup truck! Quote
DHarrisburg Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 If I come back to the east coast for a week or two (most likely last week of may and first of june) there's a ton of handrails I want to hit up. All I need is a crew. I'll let you guys know if I'll be back any time soon. Quote

Justo8484 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 the L train! i'm down larry. how come your back at qtown now? Quote
RomeOp Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Posted April 30, 2005 Whats happenin Justin. I'm not in Q-town. I'm not working for them over the summer. But i'll be back in the fall. I've got your number, i'll give you a call if this thing gets rolling Quote
Schif Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 Sounds really cool. I know a hardcore hockey player w/ tons of ins at the Ice Box, and he has a pickup. Quote
Justo8484 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 yeah i dunno how long the snow is gonna hang around after they dump it outside of the rink during the summer, so everything's gotta be organized. we've set up rails at northampton high school, we took rails from the skatepark down the street and used those, it worked out ok, but there were only like 6 or 7 of us hitting stuff, not a huge crowd.

mbike-ski Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 What would be involved with doing a rail jam in a rink? My son and I both play hockey at the Steel Ice Center in Bethlehem and I could talk tothem about it. I'm sure it would depend on how much open ice time they have and how bad they want to fill those slots but it could be a cool promotional event for them Quote

The jam would not be IN the rink, but rather use the shavings from the rink that they just discard. Quote
VTmark Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 it would be sick if we could get to do this. in maybe a pasr day in the summer? Quote
AtomicSkier Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 it would be sick if we could get to do this. in maybe a pasr day in the summer? 26298[/snapback] We're having one this Sunday By invatation only, however. Quote
Glenn Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 We're having one this Sunday By invatation only, however. 26326[/snapback] You could rub it in a little more Quote
DHarrisburg Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 ok, looks like I won't be at hood, which means a two week trip home. I've got a drop in ramp, who's got a truck? Quote
