Jibs for cribs

     JibsforCribs is a company that makes an at-home rail system, without the  whole DIY hassle. They're adjustable boxes and rails, pre-fabricated, and hinged so you can plop whatever kind of rail/box you want into whatever situation suits your fancy. Last saturday night, Bruce Sandstrom, Dave Krezel, Eric Pratt, and I met up with Jibsforcribs owner/creator Matt Pittman, and suited our fancies. 

      Now if only somebody made a portable run-in /cheese wedge / landing that doesn't take a half hour to clean off the stairs when you get busted...That would be awesome...

They thought this shitty handrail setup would dissuade skateboarders,...they were probably right.

Eric Pratt, nosepress

Sorry to belabor the point, but Pratt's presses are pretty. Yay alliteration. 

Bruce Lee, from a tree. Yay rhyme.

Front one, 50-50, tap out. 

Krezel, frontboard.

Bruce, bucked.

*whoup whoup*....that's a wrap, boys.

You can check out the wares at http://www.jibsforcribs.com/. If you wanna give the product a test drive, go shred mount southington. They've got a kink box set up at the main park..cant miss it.

some stuff between here and montreal.

I don't even really know what to do with this..but i'm sure something can be done.

the range

Long, long ago...before February...almost 3 weeks ago...there were endless fields off deep powder everywhere. We built jumps, and they lasted for weeks, and it was good. This is a time we shant soon forget. Amen.

Sully mute back 180.

      You'd be surprised what kind of nonsense you can get away with during a snowstorm. To hit this rail, we parked and unloaded about 50 yards from the police station, right next to a fleet of police cruisers. We then proceed to do mostly unnecessary,  high-speed banshee/subaru tow-ins across the roof of the courthouse parking garage. The cops in the office windows facing the garage must've had a good laugh...and then they apparently went right back to sipping coffee...

"major sporting event coverage"

Last year,  we had a hell of a time at the dew tour at mt snow, so despite the venue switch to killington this year, we rolled deep. "The Beast"  is a little high brow for our sort, so we rode at Pico, and stayed at the econolodge.We made an attempt to see the superpipe, but it was dark and killington is huge and confusing. We gave up on that and went back to the hotel where fortunately, there were some like minded folks staying nearby.

cruzer, moonman & chris, cold lampin' at pico.

Front flip/bed gap. Ended badly.

Before driving it's important to test your BAC. You can get a unit for cheap, but be sure to install the batteries and read the instruction manual.....before you drink. 

Nice. Save.  I thought this guy was screwed for sure.

She'sot wearing skis...possibly the only advantage to walking around in ski boots.

I'm gonna ID all these riders soon, sorry about the anonymousness.

Double Corkage. No fee, though.
