Homemade Jib-How to Make A Jib / Rail / Box -Original-

[skateandski97]

why would you put a logo on your rail? dumbass be original.

[jibtastic7]

How long, tall and wide is one box?

[drxdangler]

How much was the total cost?

[101somekid]

what was the size of pvc pipe did u use?

[tmun24]

SOOOO GNARLY!! i've been trying to find instructions on the actual build everywhere..no luck yet tho..i just wanna make one of the boxes..can't afford two right now :/ but do u kno when ur about to put up the directions?? props too u tho..and ur other vids..all u brahs rip!!

[AImosTskater44]

guys what are you using to get speed my yard is flat and i dont get enough snow to make a drop in. any suggestions?????

[springstlr]

@AImosTskater44 banshe bungee

[jspider27393]

not expensive?

[alienworkshopkiller]

ride BATALEON not burton

[greenthrash99]

could i make mine just like 5 feet?

[DDSquadPod]

@greenthrash99 yea but im making mine around 15 feet so i have more rrom to do stuff on, 5 feet is just WAY too small

[mathieuvp1]

I still dont get it what you were talking about how you added the pvc :p

[MrXDMAXXD]

nice,so it costs 50 usd to build one of those why dont sell 100usd each?id buy =)

[MegaNafets]

@MrXDMAXXD

caus you are the only lazy person that would pay 100usd for a box u can make in two week-ends...

[EricDeschene]

Hey thanks for posting this! I was just wondering how are the PVC pipes attached to the body? Sorry if I'm repeating a question.

[dane3445]

the ends of the pvc puts big gashes in my board when i hit mine :(

[TacticalOops]

dane3445 u could try sanding the pvc or waxing it maybe tht should work

[sportmusicgamenstuff]

hey you probably answered this but i just want to make sure:

you used liquid nails (chaulk) to hold down the pvp pipes

and the skirting/sliding was painted but didn't have any plastic or anything on it correct

[sportmusicgamenstuff]

also where did u get the box u bought?

[emister1552]

oh i see now i forgot that i would be drilling in a hole first

[emister1552]

how did you attach the legs to the skeleton? did you have to screw diagonally?

[Garlandwars]

screw perpindicular into the skeleton

[codeshlalin16]

what did you use for the end caps?

[Garlandwars]

nothing, but i would sand the ends down a little, so you dont have a sharp edge

[codeshlalin16]

look at .21 it looks like you have an endcap.

[Garlandwars]

pvc is hollow...and so are the pipes in .21

[codeshlalin16]

I'm talking about the actual base, not the top. I'm using HDPE for the top.But if you look at the end of it, you see a triangle. (between the legs) what did you use?

[emister1552]

is the primer to make it not warp?

[Garlandwars]

its so you dont have to use as much paint. purely for looks. you will use a lot more paint if you dont use primer

[huronhorde]

how long is that rail?

[Garlandwars]

10 feet eac

[darkgaiasonic]

damn

[fatmanjenkins789]

hey dude, i was wondering if u could post the materials needed for just one box.

i don't really need two, so i don't know how to divide the materials sinse you seemed to use the leftover scraps of some parts for others. thanks

[Garlandwars]

ill try to get them posted i have to do the math again

[squirrely911]

What's the song??

And this is an awesome design, I can't wait til it snows here, so I can get this out of the garage again (:

Or on a cold evening, "borrow" some snow from the ice rink! haha.

[Garlandwars]

follow the cops back home by Placebo. and yea its getting cold here too but no snow yet

[squirrely911]

Thanks man

[RyanTheLi0n]

Does anyone know what the best kind of metal is for a rail? i don't want to spend a ton on stainless steel but i don't want it to rust either...any suggestions?

[Garlandwars]

cold rolled steel tubing. aka handrail piping

[dsmitt1015]

i suggest ABS pipe...its the same as pvc but its alot stronger and its black, but it is a little more expensive but not much. i already built 2 rails out of pvc and i wish i wouldve known about ABS sooner

[AspenMan56]

whats the best material to use on the top but the least of coast

[driggerv251]

good job but i have my own bok and ive found the fact that if u use a plasctic cover with a flat srface it will make for better riding also it mre realistic

[toddoron]

or you could have prevented catching an edge and just put angle iron on for coping and made it flush with the top then your edges wouldnt catch

[Stuart1712]

yea or else you can just get metal pipes like from home depot

[toddoron]

dont use pvc it shatters in the cold. your best bet is to go to a hardwre store and buy some sort of a plastic top. you want a flat surface thats easy to slide across without catching an edge along with metal coping so your edges dont dig into the top and fuck your top/self up.

[Stuart1712]

Yea i thought of that so i put plastic and edges caught and it was shit.

So i figuered out just go to like home depot and buy like metal bars and bolt them through which works great

[Garlandwars]

i used to have that problem, we sheared off the pvc...but if you detune your edges you shouldnt have much of a problem.

[bcarl10101]

has anyone had success with pvc? I'm asking after 2hitQu1t's comment...

[vidgamester13]

show how to make your steel tbox please

[Garlandwars]

i will soon i jsut switched comps so i have to move a ton of files but i will soon

[BillyBobTS]

F&CK BURTON!

[nomad12349876]

what song by Placebo?

[Garlandwars]

follow the cops back home

[mjmweasel]

approx. how much did this cost you to make?

[Garlandwars]

100 dollars

[rossfrog200]

is pvc pipe like the same as steel pipe or do you ruin it after a while?

[Garlandwars]

it can get a little choppy if your edges are sharp.  if you have dull edges they will be fine.

[2hitQu1t]

Don't use pvc, if you ride it when its below 5ish degrees, maybe 10-15 it shatters on impact. i watched my friends break after like 5 minutes of doing riding it. So don't use pvc! results in a broken rail, and a nasty fall! :(

[thermastermisterman]

good video but not really the box im looking to make but btw that wasnt the "Decemberists" playing that song was it or colin meloy i dunno but watev.

[Garlandwars]

actually it was

follow the cops back home by placebo

[ilostmytoe]

you drill a hole first then you screw in the screw

[SkierWannaBe2]

Hey will someone please explain to me how you screw the pvc pipes into the wood. i don't understand it at all. thanks for the help"}

[dave13894892]

just use liquid nails

[UberSteezMan]

well, i said i would make a rail and its just like this 1. bout 5 mins ago i spraypainted some stencils on and i have space for 2 more so im lookin for sumthin good. ill put up a vid when my friend shows me how and as soon as the drop in isnt solid ice. im getting snow wednesday tho. thx for the inspiration i cant wait to hit it up

[gibsies13]

i drew out my designs, almost exactly like yours, got my blue prints, went into home depot, and found all of my materials for $58.08 USD + tax !

thanks for the inspiration, i will take pics of me making it either this summer or when ever i build it, make a vid, and send it to you!

¥ thanks ¥

[Garlandwars]

IM glad i inspired you to make your own jib :D

[akdjfakjfdaalkjdadfj]

how the hell do you do that. I tried

[Eriqo666]

I just made one, exactly like that one, without the paint.

Same basics. Didnt have any trouble! ;)

[Eriqo666]

Im making one, right now. Exactly like yours. Almost.

Same basics and "skeleton".

Its really turning out nice!

[Eriqo666]

That is freakin awesome! This video gave me inspiration and ideas of how to build my rail/jib. LOOKING FORWARD TO IT! :D

NIce video

[NinyRider]

fyi these are a couple hundred pounds each

[ashermilik]

what are the spaces in betwwen the 3 2*6*10 in the skeleton

[suomilauta]

How thick plywood you use for sides?

[Garlandwars]

1/4 inch i believe

[UberSteezMan]

i made almost the same design and used 1/2 inch thick. it made it much stronger structually

[MMAROOKIE]

plexyglass does work but if u use it make sure its not right at the edge/sides, so cut it a bit short, mine is chipping

[snowboarder727]

does anyone no if plexiglass works good for the top? answer please

[kraft1515]

plexi glass doesnt work, mine cracked right down the middle, and chipped on the sides, save yourself some time and frustration and buy HDPE/pvc pipes

[Stuart1712]

If you dont want to use tubing for the top you can also use plastic you can but it from home depot thats what i did and it works great

[akdjfakjfdaalkjdadfj]

I am going to build one. How much $ is a 15 ft. PVC pipe? How wide should is be. So you can do 270's on and stuff.

[Garlandwars]

ive seen 10 ft pipes but not 15 ft...but if you do proabably 4 bucks? and wideness is all preferance. wider box, easier to stay on. narrow, like a rail

[MysticStyl3z]

get some plans or instructions up broooo....

[burtonboy17]

was it $100 for 1 or 2 boxes?

[Garlandwars]

50 bucks each about. so 100 for both combined

[burtonboy17]

how many 2 X 4's did u use for one box

[Garlandwars]

4 2x4s 2 cut into 4 legs and two twelve footers for the supports

[sixt4conti]

i was thinking of building something like this i planned on laying a 2x6 or whatever you want for the cap and getting a roll of flashing like 8" wide and put over it. you can fold the edges over the sides and nail it down- and you can buy nice long rolls of it. it would be cheaper than pvc if youre putting 4 pieces side by side. let me know what you think.

[hockeyMatt15]

thanks man i used this a bit and my rail turned out great the tricky part i had was lining up the angles with the ground and the board

i also just took some wire cutters to a fence and got some actual metal rail which works way better than pvc

[dane3445]

well i wanna do this EXACTLY, but is there like a typed instructuions? cuz this isnt too clear to me. i'll show my dad, maybe he'll understand it. this will be my "christmas present."

:D

[Garlandwars]

yea im in the process of making written instructions. The design was 100% ours so we came up with the structure and everything. So ill try to get you instructions asap

[dane3445]

thanks i just need to know how high you made the rail.

[NickBarbaccia12]

How long did it take to make this?

[Ski4me23]

I made a rail out of pvc and wood and it costed me like nothing... the wood i jacked from construction sites and the pvc i went out and bought for like 20$

[Garlandwars]

nice

[Un70uch4bl3BMW]

tell me what you think about my idea...i would take an old ski or two and make a box similar to that and just ut the skis on top and use that as kind of a rail. The only little probem i see with this is that you might mess up your edges on the skis by having the edge on edge going together

[Garlandwars]

it work probably work better with a snowboard. if your going through that much trouble to get a slide surface i would just buy HDPE and have it cut 4 inches wide.  a 4ft by 8 ft sheet will only be like 60 dollars

[akoalabear1]

don't your edges get caught on the pvc? doesn't it just make you fall instead of slide?

[Garlandwars]

the edges dont really get caught. you actually shear off a little bit of the pvc. it all depeneds how you are landing on it also.

[madskiierpwns]

sorry, screw  and from

[Garlandwars]

yep. screw up towards the sky. and seeing as the pvc will be on top of the plywood, the screw will go into it.

[madskiierpwns]

im confused,like take the plywood or whatever and scred it bron the botton of the plywood into the pvc?

[k2twintipskier]

do i have to use pvc pipe or whatever, can i just use a board, will that work just as well?

[Garlandwars]

what kind of board? if you use plastic such as polycdarbonate or high density polyethylyn, that would work. but pvc is a very cheap surface.

[k2twintipskier]

like acrlic

[madlzzzzz]

yo this is a BA easy design and im definatly making it. i just have a question. what size wood did u use for the legs, and how big of a sheet of ply wood do u need for the 2 sid skirts?

thanks.

[MMproductionteam]

This inspired me to build my own rails, so thanks... I made two 10 ft rails, but I made the top interchangeable so that I can switch the rail from a thin rail to a wider, box type rail. Thanks for the idea, I can't wait to get out and use it this winter...

[Garlandwars]

sweet and no problem!

[MMproductionteam]

how did you attach the PVC to the seperate piece?

[Garlandwars]

screw up into the pipe

[echo539]

fail music

[hockeyMatt15]

hey nice job ive seen a couple of these done before

i was just wondering how long do you think i should make it i dont want to end up making it too short

[Garlandwars]

10 feet is the ideal length, because the pipes are 10 feet long. However, the Plywood is actualyl only 8 feet long...so it take slightly more effort to make it 10 feet. But believe me...you need that 2 extra feet. If you make it any longer than 10 feet you will have to add pipes which will add seams to the slide surface (PVC) So i recommend going 10 feet.

[guitarnlax1297]

do the pvc pipes ever break by cold tempuratures or just break after being used a long time?

[Garlandwars]

Not from the cold temps. They creak from hitting the actual pipe. 270s on and off can crack it

[rdgmtt]

what is the size of the pvc u used ?

[Garlandwars]

about 3/4 inch

[Gordostube]

this was really helpful, thanks!

[SartellNewsCasters]

I was wondering how tall it is

[Garlandwars]

around 2 1/2 feet tall

[wonderboywillc1]

You guys suck dick

[Garlandwars]

rofl. and what makes you think I care? you must have no life if your posting stupid immature comments like this

[SartellNewsCasters]

also...How wide is it?

[Garlandwars]

liquid nails bond two pieces of wood together. U need a caulk gun with it. If you go to lowes or home depot and ask they can help you get it. The top was around 4-5 inches wide, and the bottom around 2 1/2 ft wide.

and thanks :D

[SartellNewsCasters]

Thank you =]

[SartellNewsCasters]

SWEET....I'm for sure going to make one! Thanks for the idea =]!!!...what is liquid nailing?

[Chris19]

How much did the pvc pipe cost?

[Garlandwars]

2 bucks a pipe

[SkierWannaBe2]

do you have to water it down before you use it? do you need to store it during the night? will it ruin if it gets wet or freezing cold overnight(pvc pipe cracking)? Sorry so many questions.

[Garlandwars]

Water isnt nessecary, the pvc is actually very slick without any lubricant. storage isnt nessecary overnight. The pvc will not crack from the freezing, and if you use housepaint for your box should be for the most part water resistant and resistant to freezing. We set up the boxes and just leave them out in the winter. In the summer I store them under a tarp or in a garage, because the rain can mess it up. The snow won't though because it doesnt melt in the winter.

[ashton2424]

how did you guys end up attaching the PVC pipes to the plywood board??

i was just wondering because i am making a box and i need advice on how i should go about doing this......putting the pipes on and all

thanks

[Garlandwars]

screw 1 1/2 inch screws up into the pipe from the underside of the plywood. you need to hold the pipes in place however. hope that helps, that part of our boxes is probably the most confusing part to explain

[Pitbikelover7]

jesus you over spent and over thought!

[luigihack64]

u should have used bigger pvc pipes to make it more like a box

ty im gonna make one

[Garlandwars]

you mean wider. a bigger pipe would make it structurally weak...and with the setup we had it on, it wouldnt withstand one person. but the box we made was more like a rail width wise

[luigihack64]

nvm mind... the size pipe ur uses looks like mine sept im usen four pvc pipes

[TheRunnersLegend]

how much money did it take to make one of these

[Garlandwars]

about 100 USD for both....so think of it as 50 each

[NinyRider]

noah said he might make me a steel box if i buy the tubing

[UberSteezMan]

liquid nails, i wish i knew about those a few months ago but oohwell. i made a skinnier, single 10 foot, 3 pipe wide flatrail of similar design but i wish my base looked more like urs. very nice and clean looking

[Garlandwars]

thats cool. what design did you go with? a spine like ours or a rectanglar box?

[UberSteezMan]

three upsidedown "t" like things as supports. im def gonna unscrew them and build a base like this tho

[SkierWannaBe2]

Alright Tight, i thought it was placebo but didn't know what song. Thanks

[SkierWannaBe2]

What is this song called?

[Garlandwars]

"Follow the cops back home" by Placebo

[Ediddy101]

great vid!!!

thanks!!!

im so inspired!!!

i think thats what im gonna do tomorrrow :]

thats alot!!!

[just wondering... isn't it illegal to write "burton" on the side???]

just wondering

:]

[Garlandwars]

thanks! good luck on your box. as for the burton logo...i figured they wouldnt mind some free publicity, so i guess ill wait till they sue me XD

[SkierWannaBe2]

Thanks Much

[SkierWannaBe2]

Ok thanks. How tall was it? What were the dimensions?

[Garlandwars]

around 26 inches tall...including the feet of course. it was i believe 32 inches wide....getting smaller at the top to around 5 inches at the top, about the width of a flatrail, and of course, 10 feet long

[SkierWannaBe2]

Your rails are sick. I think i'm going to make me one. But i have a few questions.... So does each box cost around 50 or 100 dollars? Also, do you have to store after every night? And about how heavy are they? Sorry lots of questions

[Garlandwars]

its fine. questions are good. well, two boxes cost about 100 dollars, depending if you utilize the materials you have. i would do a lot of planning beforehand. a lot. do all the calculations before you go out to buy things.

buy some extra lumber just in case, so that way you wont have to go to the store all the time.

for weight, i dont know how to make a good estimate...but two people can move it not easily, but not hard either. with 4 people its light as a feather

[Garlandwars]

so each box costs around 50 dollars. you may spend more or less depending on your budget and pre planning. we bought everything before hand with good planning and only made one trip to a local paint shop.

good luck and thanks

[pattyrick555]

so for the pvc pipe how thick was it, and what was teh diameter, also what was the type? like i have a plan made but there is a few pvc's that look liek yours but have different names...for example gas vent, vaccum and high pressure... gas vent seemed hardest and thickest but would that make drilling into it hard? did you pre drill the holes... lmfao loads of questions

[Garlandwars]

yea those are good questions though. the pvc i was talkign about the diamter...not the thickness. the smaller diameter will withstand a lot more than a big pipe. we used 1/4 inch thick pipe.

as for the pvc type, i dont know what we used, but go with the gas vent stuff. where are you getting the pipe from? since its pvs, drilling should be easy, regardless how thick it is. and we did not predrill them. we used clamps to keep them in place and drilled up into the pipe directly.

[Garlandwars]

i just picked mine up at lowes and they only had one type. i found it in the plumbing section. but a smaller and thicker pipe like you described will hold up a lot better than a thinner pipe. cracking occured in small places with our pipes we used when my skis hit it, but if you use that thicker pipe, it should not be a problem

cracking i mean when we did 270 ons and 270 offs. when landing on it, it will not crack

[OuterLimitsSledding]

does the pvc provide a good sliding surface?

[Garlandwars]

yea, it is slicker than rails and faster than your traditional box. its cheap, easy to obtain. but it can crack if you do 270 ons and you dont make it on the box and hit the side of it. i give it a thumbs up for snowboards though.

[OuterLimitsSledding]

the thing is that i don't snowboard or ski; i freesled. (all the videos are in my channel) the material on the bottom of my sled is different than a ski or board so it doesn't exactly slide as well as a board/skis. but, we took a trip up to NH to sled on a terrain park at Whaleback Mtn. there set-up had good boxes and our sleds slid extremely well. i don't know if it was HDPE or lexan or whatever. but i made a rail out of pvc and i tested it during the summer with snowgel. it slid decently

[Garlandwars]

It was most likely HDPE. We used that to build an 8 ft T-box...its what most boxes are made with. I would invest in HDPE, it costs like 50 bucks for a 2 ft by 4 ft sheet, depending where you get it. get at least 1/4 inch thick.

[OuterLimitsSledding]

can you purchase it at home depot?

[Garlandwars]

No, HDPE needs to be bought from a plastics supplier. look for a local plastic supplier before you look online. your best bet is usplastics, good pricing, though i never actually ordered from them. I would look for it locally though, it saves time but you generally spend a little more for that

[OuterLimitsSledding]

ok, thanks for your help

[Garlandwars]

yep. good luck

[xsjadolover]

yea u finally made a vid
