Rails allow snowboarders to practice their jumps, twists, and turns. Before building your own snowboard rail, consider its location--optimally, the rail should be placed on private property. But if the rail is to go on public grounds, make sure to leave adequate room for other skiers and snowboards to avoid it. Place the rail halfway down a large slope, so you have adequate time to build speed.
Step 1
Set up the bike rail vertically with the hill, making sure the rack faces downhill.
Step 2
Place dirt or sand in the burlap sacks, and set them next to the sides of the bike rack. Pile the sacks until they reach two feet from the top of the rack, then make a gradual incline to the ground, forming a slope.
Step 3
Use more burlap sacks to form on and off ramps. The ramps should not angle more than 30 degrees, providing a gentle slope.
Step 4
Cover the ramp in snow. Pack the snow solidly, and smooth it down.
