hahah yeah im pretty much hated everywhere. i agree with toasts synoposis

those urban single barrels look prime... very impressive. Are you guys using only jibs you are making this year or are you gonna put out some of the past jibs? Also are you gonna paint those so they dont look exactly like the mountain creek ones, cause that could get confusing distinguishing the two mountains rails in pics and videos? Good work though and welcome to PA guys.

yeah man urban ish everywhere... were gonna see who can bonk, jib, and otherwise destroy all kinds of stuff that you arent supposed to see on a mountain, but rather see in the streets of philly. if you like ride on obstacles this wont be the contest for you! hope people like the idea cause were all stoked on it.

papa those are tables and teh one on teh bottom left is usually 70 feet... when i was there it went 55 60 70 down teh right line and no jump in PA is romotely as large as any jump in that picture... by teh way those lengths came from the local riders and i dodnt measure them... on a sinilar note dont say you stepped out a jump because that doesnt work either. the point is that if you dont know an exact length within 5 feet than just dont post it. im sure someone will measure it correctly and all will be fine but last year was just crazy.

yeah thats all marketing on teh x games... the difference in height between the lip and the knuckle is what gets the name... u could have a huge cheese wegde and it would still be a table if teh top of the lip was the same height as teh knuckle

booter means noting dude im sorry but if someone tells me there is a huge booter somewher it tells me nothing. actually it makes me think teh jump sucks. the terms for straight jumps jumps are stepdowns, tables, stepovers, and stepups. Then you can say if teh lip has alot of kick or if its mellow. then you say the gap. heres an example The new stepdown is sick. The lip has lalot of kick and throws you pretty high. Its like a 30 footer. That tells people alot more than blue has a sick mo fo booter. On a seperate topic unless u have a tape dont tell people lengths of jumps. I believe jump lengths of like 5 people on here and most others are extremely exaggerated. If its a 40 footer then people will day its like 1 70 footer and so on. The best are people who tell u a length for a jump and they say its like 20 feet longer than it really is.

yeah the bigger the pipe the less scary it si to ride. mammoth super duper pipe is so big and sweet. i think that some places have a 24 footer now as well. not positive though.

i hate the slow mo wrap shot that msp uses in every one of their movies. it was so cool at first but now it is so played out. cool that the premere is at camel toe though

whats the difference between a park ranger and park crew? just wondering sounds basically like the same job with a different name

also to clarify on marks clarification the guy from utah had no impact on the park grooming so its not like were losing the guy who groomed the parks all year.

whoever pays the mag the most gets the 1 spot. its that simple.... i think

papa pleae never make fun of a park crew person agan. i cant believe that you are saying that people are in it to be cool. i think that everyone on the crew (all mountains) is dedicated to making the park as good as it can be and most work their asses off to help do this. shoveling snow instead of skiing isnt cool, its just a thing we enjoy doing to better the park for everyone. At bear we often pull people aside and ask them to go to our family fun park and explain the dangers of what they are doing wrong. this is the first step i think. out west bad stuff never happens for a reason. the locals have established a system to tell when to and not to jump and i think we need to do the same. at most places and x with the arms signifies someone hass fallen and and o with the arms means its clear again. when u dont obey people go ape shit on you and you learn quickly. there is no park crew guys tellin people what to do or smart style signs, its just respect. think about that everyone thats been out west and its clearly true.

very interested actually ill be there. any price or dates yet?

Manager "stressed downhill skiers will still be able to ski at Big Boulder saying trails with park features will be wide enough to accommodate both traditional and freestyle enthusiasts. - in a press release JFBB is not encouraging downhill skiing in the terrain parks -on PASR What is going on here? You cant please everyone so either say that you want to keep traditional skiers out or in but dont say both a day apart or your gonna piss off alot of people who are expexting a good park or expecting a legit mountain to ski on. Make a statement and stick to it please, and get all teh representatives at your mountain on the same page. You already advocated in a press release that you want people who are not hitting features in the park so posting on this site negating it is doing nothing. All the beginners who read that article are still gonna show up and go into the park because you told them to. You are breaking smart style message #1 if you dont belong in teh park dont enter and to be honest most traditional riders have no concept of park rules and regulations anyway. Dont beat around the bush with stuff and say what you are going to do. Im sorry but it needed to be said.

yeah that new trail there buildin looks prime for a park.. push it guys haha that would be so awesome there holy shit do it

"Cloeren stressed downhill skiers will still be able to ski at Big Boulder, which has 12 slopes on 60 acres of land, saying trails with park features will be wide enough to accommodate both traditional and freestyle enthusiasts." Worst quote ever someone needs to kill that guy for saying that. hes sdvocating newbs in the parks who arent going to go off features. otherwise that is awesome but i cant believe he said that

haha sick idea impossible to do in a paek and keep it maintained without lots and lots of extra work. basically a contest thing. you get eh same problems as maintaining a wallride or tree jib with that but when mammoth does it 4 teh masters everyone wants to cream themselves

yeah when i go out west i do like 10 park runs maybe like 20 mammoth was a perfect example i skiied park half a day.. man that place is so awesome i highly sugest everyone goes there.. off that tangent though pow is more fun than park for me so id rather bamb through trees and do like 1's and 3's off little sliffs and little wind lips and shit while i can out there and leave teh park to the 95% of teh skiing i do here in PA

papa i hope you realize that your goin economic on us here and the reason parks were invented was basically to get away from what you are promoting. i dont think the industry will ever let it turn into racing, definately not in teh next 10 years

no man never seen it anywhere but ui had it on paper at the beginning of last season. you build a nice 14 pipe with the zuagg and drill a hole in the deck and put in like a 20 foot telephone pole with height markings on it at every foot. im pretty sure its never been done and i think it would look and be very sick

when did this happen? im sorry about that and i dont know how you would get your pass clippedfor going too fast on teh landing of the jump. the kid should of had his pass clipped. also the phoe pole idea is sick and i had it liek a year ago so u better not steal it AHHH!! haha

everyone is entitled to their opinion but i thought that the way the movie was made was different and very cool. i liked teh fact that they took a chance and got away from the segment style that basically every other movie (ski or board) follows

i think you mean "show and prove" but i agree that it was sick and its really shill u met those guys

make some sary signs like inexperienced riders can cause death or serious injury to others on this trail. no rentals. if your in a snowplow, you cant be in the park. people on landings = trips to the hospital. and just scary stuff like that. the biggest problem blue has (not ripping on it just a fact) is that it oly has 1 park trail so you cant send newbs elsewhere. if you can try to convince management to build a small park on a connector trail or part of a trailk and route the newbs there so they can learn. i mean there will always be aproblem with people like this so you cant stop it but that stuff should put some end to it. also dont do ride on flat boxes cause kids will just so strait across um and make park crews job that much harder. Also explain to parents when your riding how their kids are making an unsafe riding enviroment for everyone and they should go onto another trail. i also dont agree with the agge thing because some little kids will be good and you sont want to stop them from progressing. big hiking hill is golden as well and also make the enterence as narrow as possible, like 5 feet wide. then people will be less lkely to enter

whos gettin passes and riding the park frequently this year?
