Josh Hoyer looking a little apprehensive on day one of the second generation of the "Rail Of Death." We set it up at Ponto in
Carlsbad, CA. but between the massive metal rail, low tide, and the cops, it was by all accounts a harrowing first day. Photo: jackenglish.com

Jeff King of Built To Shred fame sits atop his latest masterpiece, the "Rail Of Death." Twice as sketchy as the last version, the idea was to whip straight at it with the assistance of a "Banshee Bungee" and see what happened. You can watch the episode on
Fuel TV beginning Dec. 19. Photo: jackenglish.com

Standing atop the Rail Of Death you really get the feel for how sketchy it is.

Sleigh's first attempt... Josh is one tough SOB. He'd hit the rail twenty times in a row—eating shit every time—yet still get back on the horse and hit it again. His persistence would eventually pay off. Photo: jackenglish.com
With the assistance of the "Banshee Bungee" the boys were able to get enough speed to hurl themselves at the large piece of metal anchored into the surf at Ponto in
Carlsbad. Brilliant, right? Photo: jackenglish.com
If anyone was going to be able to pull it off it was going to be the best skimboarder in the history of mankind—Bill "Beaker" Bryan on his Catch Surf Blackball Beater. Photo: jackenglish.com
