New box is sooooooooo nice. Folks need to get up and check this spot out. As certain people would say it is sooooo under the radar. Quit postin' at home and blow this spot up!

the new box looks prime.

nips says he is in on the 15th.

i think I'm finally gonna come to one of these after procrastinating over a year

For sure, if you have not made it out yet... this is the time. Things are dialed in at this point, and it should be a good turn-out.

This box feels better than most resort boxes, hands down. Shit is perfect.
.

FYI folks, don't think that you have to be a park expert to come out. We have people from all park ability levels all the time.

wish i could come to hit that box. it looks ripe. unfortunately, god hates me and i have to work a 7-7. have fun out there, though.


oh, and get some video or pictures and post it up!

Trevor, please help me out with this. We cannot get anything off Jake's camera at this time. If you have some pics of the 11/2 jam, please send them over to me so I can post them up.

Thanks

ill be there. does it cost anything?

I may make the trip with a buddy and if I do I'll bring my camera and film as well

We ask for a $5 donation each time you come. The new box was pretty expensive and it will take a while to pay it off, plus the donations help with the general cost of the event itself.

thats cool. i understand my dad and i built a summer setup and it wasnt cheap!

Matt, if this you. Bring a RT crew with you. Its a really good scene and every one has a really good time.

sounds like fun im gonna try to make it out.

Can't find any USB cable and I have like 4 somewhere... Aargh!!! Tomorrow for sure!

I think i'm gonna be able to make this one too as of now! As justin said, the new box is so killer. and as always the a frame is perfect. best backyard setup you will ever ride and it's so close to pretty much everyone posting here. definitely check this out.

I have pics from 11/2 on my hard drive, when I get home a little later I'll post them up

Do me a favor and email me some, so that I can put them up on our MySpace, Facebook, and website. Thanks

Cross-linking is too much of a bitch.

Thanks for the props guys, we have been trying to make improvements on a regular basis.

Thanks for the pics Justin!

I may be there.

hey i think i might head up for this. what is the closest mountain to it?

i think blue.

You have a clear view of Blue from their backyard where the boxes are at. It's literally down the street

Are you going pansy?

Nah I have to work. But after that I'm off every weekend until I move to Colorado, lots of skiing is going to be underway soon

There are easy directions from Blue Mountain on www.twelve60.com.

If it rains in pitt tomorrow and I can't go to that jam I'm gonna bring some kids from the penn state team and come down for this

Oh really? I havnt seen you in forever man.

me and 4 of my buddys will be there

this still on if it rains?

As long as it is not really crappy we will still have the jam. A small amount of rain will just help the sliding all that more. Plus is is supposed to be like 60 or so.

I'll make a decision about 2pm today. this is for palmerton. Nice wind shift! The caveat is..... Here comes the cold!

Today: Showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 61. East wind 8 to 15 mph becoming south. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

Tonight: Showers likely. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Cloudy, with a low around 38. West wind between 9 and 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

are helmets mandatory?

You should wear a helmet. Especially if you are new to the carpet skiing.

im wearing on i was just wondering if u needed them to ride cuz of liability.

It is not raining at the moment. The Accueweather hourly show rain until 5, then cloudy till 6, then rain till late. It is hard to really tell what is going to happen. I will check back in at 3pm. If it is only showers or cloudy we may be able to continue. We will need some snow for the box though, as we have none right now.

for anyone else that would like to check: http://www.accuweather.com/us/pa/palmerton...&traveler=1

please stop raining please stop raining please please please

my thoughts exactly.

so is this thing still on or what

Not raining too hard at this time. Weather reports still say that we are going to be getting more rain.

What is the general thought out there, are you planning on coming or thinking about ditching it?

Remember that we will need snow, without we have no box lip.

im still coming.i can;t pick up snow though, i would if i could

so if noone brings snow theres no lip at all? or just no snow lip?

another person in.

Without the snow or more wood chips, there is no lip at all. We built it for the jam to need 8" of snow to mach the rail. I guess one might be able to ollie up on to it each time...

so is this thing still on? cuz i gotta leave soon haha

im guessing no?

Still a good possibility, not raining here. Wish I knew if anyone else was thinking about coming out or not.
