Backyard Park.

So if you come to the realization that someone you know has a lot of land that just kind of chills in the winter that would be the perfect place to build a mini-park...it might not be a bad idea to hit them up and start the brainstorming...

Some thoughts to consider:

- What kind of features will it have...boxes, rails, wallride, barrels, logs, etc.
- How big are the features going to be
- Will you need a drop in ramp
- What's the angle of the ground you're building on (this will help with if you need a drop in)
- How steep should your drop in be
- Do you want lights to ride it at night (if so, is there electricity, or will you need a generator)
- How much room will you need between features
- How rideable will your whole setup be (function over fashion on this one for sure)

Those are just a few ideas that we came up with in our brainstorming ideas on building a backyard park. Other obvious things would be determining exactly what you want to build and then figuring the cost, and if you have the willpower and most importantly the brainpower to actually construct it or at least finalize a good idea of what you want to build.

Yo, don't forget, snowboarding is dangerous. So if you're into this kind of thing, don't be dumb. Do it right, and do it the way it should be done, professionally! These are just brainstorming ideas. Not a guidelines by any means.

But backyard parks are pretty sick, and when done right can give you something to ride all day and night, and everyday you can't make it to the mountain, or whenever you just wanna chill and session your own private park. So go mow some lawns and save your cash, cause summer is the time to build it!

Peace!
