there arent any rails at berryessa. you will have to build one. you should be fine this time of year because the sheriffs dont come by often. my friends and i have put a couple in there for a couple hours at a time.

Well, I have seen videos of a massive A-frame at berryessa, I know exactly where it was set up, but its definitely no longer there...I wish I could have seen how slick the builders were to pull something off that big without getting caught

yeah that rail was my first rail...it was super fun....so were the other 4 ones that were up in the same spot. That was the summer of 2006 and then that winter we did it in the hail. I'm super bummed that place is a ghost town now.

those rails are now located up at the private wakeboard lake in red bluff villa lagos and the builder is damn good at building rails but he doesnt live up in the napa area anymore seeing how he moved to the delta

kyle- he will be living back in the napa area in the next month so if you want to build rails with him i would get ahold of him. i believe he is moving in with tim

I thought Haddox was moving in with Al. We are talking about haddox right?

I have a spot that needs a rail so we can winch it and shoot some photos this winter. Epic sunsets in the background. Mag quality for sure!

Last time I talked to him, the moving in thing will AL fell through and hes going back to Napa to do flooring (carpet I think). That was last Saturday.

The rails at villa lagos were funded by the Ignolias and built by haddox and NLB over a year ago. Some pieces might be the same but its not the exact rails. New wood was bought for that.
The Aframe is a lot more mellower and the flat bar I think is a whole section (16') longer and about 2 feet taller than the rail in the second pic.

Regardless, Haddox is the man when it comes to "guerrilla" rail design and when he had the support of friends (Tim, AL, NLB, etc)and bosses, some cool ••••••••• down. With those rails and the spanky beavers (thanks to AL) those were probably the greatest summers I had.
