Battleship
Other
wise known as: House Rail
“Damn, she just threw a
three over the flat on the battleship!”
A snowboarding rail that angles
up then flattens out then angles down again. It is meant
to be ridden up, across and down again.
However with enough speed one
can use the upwards slanting angle on the first part to launch
them up and over the flat and then to land on the downward
sloping section of the rail at the end. This basically is
gapping the flat in the middle.
Did
we miss something? Do you have any suggestions for others?
