How to Make a Rainbow Snowboard Box

• Answer:

  A snowboard box is a type of ramp, generally constructed from wood or metal, used by snowboarders to perform various moves and tricks. These boxes can range anywhere from 8 to 16 feet long, depending on your personal preference. Instead of putting your money into purchasing an expensive store-bought snowboard box, design your own box and save your money for a lift pass during the winter. One place to look for cheap materials is at ice skating rinks. Many times these rinks throw away their old materials which are ideal for turning into snowboard boxes. Purchase some spray paint supplies to decorate your finished product in a rainbow design and start practicing your boarding moves.
