Special relationship with rails

I have to admit that i am not really into rails when it comes to skiing. I rather save myself for them after a great day in pow or park. It's not really cool to crash on a rail just before the season even starts and break some bones, twist wrists or ankles or just fall onto steps on your back.

On the other hand you can have so much fun with your friends scouting the town for spots with rails, wallrides, jibs,...Sometimes it makes me laugh when watching buddies coming from all over Slovenia on a spot at 7 o'clock and knowing that we won't be hitting this spot for at least next 3 hours. Whole preparation takes so much time and often even if the setup is done and prepared, we have to wait for filmers and photgraphers to make their, thousands and thousands euro worth gear,work. The second thing is often a speed problem which can be solved with drop in ramp, winch or sometimes even friend's pull.
So yesterday i decided to hit a sweet, pretty easy, pre-season down rail with my snowboard friends. We had pretty awesome session for about 2 hours and after putting 5 hours of work into preparation and filming of it, cops rolled in and forced us to clean everything in 10 minutes. I hate this feeling, when you know you can put down at least 2 or 3 more tricks and someone forces you to quit!!!

But there are plenty more rails and plenty more action to come in this winter and i am looking forward to stomp some tricks!
