Today was the day I stopped being lazy

[DHarrisburg]

I got back from Truckee today and felt like I should do something productive, so I went into the woods with a saw and came back with this;

 

 

 

 

I'm going to set it up off a knoll on Mt.Rose. Also, I got to play with this little guy all day;

Nice kitty too.

[skifreak]

Looks pretty nice to me, DH.

Oh, it's not for getting sideways on.

[Schif]

Thats pretty sick DH. I've always wanted to give a tree jib a try.

Yeah, then I played with her new cat for awhile

[snorovr]

nice job. I think it would be mad hard on skis, but definitely cool on the board.

Part of the beauty, as far as I'm concerned. No skiers asking to come to my secret spots and bombholing out my landings

 

P.S. you guys build ridiculously oversized chump bumps for handrails. Too bad you can't ollie.

So... just wondering how one would sneak something like that onto a mountain....

I'm taking it to a backcountry spot on Mt. Rose, not the actual Mt. Rose resort. It's about a ten or fifteen minute hike from the road, so I'll probably need three friends or so to take it all in one trip. Oh, also, it comes apart into five pieces.

shouldn't you peel the bark off?

won't really matter if he's just 50-50ing it.

last time we hit a handrail, the lip we built was about a foot and a half high, which for skiers is pretty small. my friend who was on a snowboard however, ollied before the lip and still got onto the rail. i wish it was that easy to ollie that high on skis.

yea pros it will be a 4 inch ollie pad its basically nothing for snowboarding. Makes getting in and out of a place quick a lot easier.

Thats pretty nifty DH. Good job. Nice kitty too.

[Nipples]

id attempt to slide that, idk how far id get.

[meggles]

rob i dont think you need to get the bark of the tree off you just need to freeze it or whatever

[DHarrisburg]

I'm probably going to sand out the big knots or branch leftovers, but otherwise it should be fine. Once you slide it a few times it should smooth out a bit.

Once it's sunk a foot into snow it should be plenty sturdy. I picked up a carriage bolt to run through the smaller supports and I'm putting dowels in to connect the top and the two tall supports.
