Ya.. well one time we tried tightening them and it get rlly tight then made a popping noise and loosened up... ever since it hasnt been able to get that tight :-XX so i'm pretty sure i EFFED something up... what should i do though?

So i realized i couldn't edit my post.. dont kno why so i just thought i'll post the pics up here... The drive up was brootal ahh i love snow! I love snow #2! Stairs to catwalk Some of my crew walking to catwalk.. (i'm the one with my back turned if anybody was wondering Jagguarnaut (sp?) sooo annoying for boarders Julio? or anarchy.. one of those Jump line in dreammaker... soo much fun! pressing a rail (hard to see) in mouse run Low snow coverage... but great fun! (it got deeper in further...) Bout to ollie into the top of skye burst... great view too Catwalk! ahh :-) The super pipe opened the last day we got there.. it was actually really nice! thats it folks :-)

Oh wow. i can't believe i started this thread and totally forgot about it.. stupid me :-(( anyway thanks for the imput.. i figured they didn't really have any park at all.. but i might go up just to have fun on the rest of the hill.. and i wouldn't be going till mid february so im hoping the snow base would be good :-)

So i have the Rome Agent.. and Flow Three bindings... I have a problem.. the bindings WONT STAY TIGHT. every two or three runs they get lose and wiggle back and forth. I finally got so fed up i just put a buttload of thread lock in and star washers... and finally they stayed tighter.. but now after a week of riding they're getting lose agian.. and nothing is helping.. My friend Said i screwd up the bindings inserts on the board... he said it'd just be easier to get a new board... ? I dont know what to do.. but its really getting to me when i have to tighten my bindings every other run. and i feel loss of control when they're loose on the mountain... Any suggestions? what shuold i do? And dont say its because of the FLOW's because Four of my other friends have flows and NEVER had a problem like this.. but I'm open to whatever... i'm kinda at the end of my rope..

not really... just scan it as you ride by? you'd just have to slow down a little..

THAAT would be sick.

Idk about you guys,, but the jumps in black bear are CRAP to me right now.. the first one spits me soo weird i can't get anything down on it.. then i never have enough speed for the second and third.. which spit you really weird anyway? is this just me? or do they seem to have no flow and have really weird lips?

Yes catwalk is for sho one of the best! and sexkitten.. you should be! its awesome up there!!

Okay. i wasn't aware.. lol.. sorry my computers got a dumb blocker on.. so guess i can't see it :-\

Last night the conditions were amazing. The first jumps landing was a LITLE icy.. and the two middle tables that they made bigger really shoot you up! I had a really hard time making the change from killingtons powder to bear creeks non responsive man made snow.. I just couldn't hit ANYthing right last night. and it seems like nothing flowed right in the park. I"m not sure if thats just me? the transition from Killy to bear.. or the lips just werent right... or what.. but i SUCKED last night.

really? i thought the top jump on the tubing line was bigger.... and i didn't even know they made a jump at the teddy bear park.. im gunna have to go and check it out

sweet.... u hit rails and such?

u skiied?

im copying DiMeThIcOnE thread at jfbb. but how big are the jumps on the tubing line at bear creek? and how big are the jumps on black bear? cuz i suck at judging distance... lol

wow.. thats so nice that u can jib on anything

man. jfbb sounds like the place to bee!

Chinese downhill? whats that mean? haha sounds like fun.. :-P taking out people is always fun.. haha

I know! and if you keep hiking furthur theres that absolutely awesome lookout! man what fun! and how come your like the only one who reads my TR's? haha guess there too lengthy :-P and I stayed at grey bonnet inn.. it was the cheapest motel that fit seven people. it was soo nice! cuz it had a library and game room. and a den with an open fire. and a hot tub! which was really nice to relax in after a hard day of boarding!

As we pulled into the very full parking lot at around 11:00 AM on Sunday (the 18th.) the cold snow laid gently on the two inches already collected on the road. We had seven people crammed into a seven passenger mini van with three days worth of over packed suitcases and board bags. Needless to say we were all tired and crammed, and just ready to ride. I had not slept the whole way up. I stumbled out into the bank of Ramshead parking lot and sunk down to my thighs in powder. This was going to be a gorgeous weekend. Sunday Sunday was really full, lift lines for the high speed quads and the K-1 gondola were the longest I’ve seen them. Things went pretty fast and we didn’t wait more than fifteen minutes though. Ramshead There was about three or four inches of powder that had just lain over top of the groomers. The first run was down into timberline Terrain Park (Look down for the Timberline park report) We then took squeeze play a couple times. That was pretty nice; it was a little low on the snow, so we had to watch out for the core shots. But it had some nice powder deeper in and was a lot of fun! Snowdon After a little at Ramshead we took caper over to the Snowdon triple and hit mouse run. This park was really nice, not enough features though. Then we went down conclusion and a few of the moguls were pretty icy.. I was pretty unhappy about that.. and then just went over to the K-1 Gondola. The Peak We took great eastern down because my brother was still getting used to his skis and wasn’t prepared for a black diamond. We took a little tree trail immediately to the left and that lead us straight to a ten foot cliff drop.. so we all just hopped off that thing and continued on down great eastern. Thing got a little confusing, we were looking for The stash, and we made some weird turns and then stopped at a sign looked over and realized the stash was right there.. So we took off our board and hopped over the fence into the middle of the Stash. (Look down for the stash report) It’s a little hazy what happened after that.. Since it was the first day, I can’t remember everything. But we did go down to the Skye ship gondola. The conditions down great eastern were great! Lots of fuN! Monday The Peak We Grabbed the shuttle to K-1 and hit the gondola right away. The first run we took catwalk. First time I’ve ever done that trial. And What can I say.. one of my favorite runs! The hike to the actual trail was just beautiful! Snow coming down and laying on the ground, Four inches of fresh powder, and over a foot of older stuff. As I headed down I noticed the snow cover wasn’t to thick at parts. And there was a few little rocks and grass sticking up. But overall A LOT of fun hitting those powdered moguls. Then we took over into cascade. And this was one of my favorite runs. It was absolutely perfect groomed conditions. There was three inches over the cords and you could just fly down that trail feeling completely in control. We did that run maybe three times. Then we headed down to the Skye ship gondola. Skye Peak After finally discovering how to get to the Stash, we hit that several times. Then we hit skyeburst several times, also hitting dreammaker one or two times in there. Those conditions were again very nice. Bear Mountain We then went through some tree trails. Where there was about a foot or two of powder and some awesome cliff drops. Then we came out under the high speed quad and got yelled at by a ski patrol dude. Oh well… We took superstar to great northern and superstar was some good moguls and we kept dodging in and out of the trees and hitting moguls. What a fun run! Ramshead After heading over to Ramshead to get some lunch at around one we then lapped mouse park, timberline park and squeeze play for pretty much the rest of the day, And a horrible experience on the rope tow Tuesday The peak We took Catwalk to cascade again, and not as good as conditions the last day, because it wasn’t snowing as hard. And hadn’t snowed the night before. But overall again it was fun. Then my two brothers wanted to juggernaut. I knew this would be bad idea since we had a snowboard. But they insisted. So after many tight tree trails to try and avoid the flat spots and many unstrapping and very sore feet we FINALLY made it down to Bear Mountain. Skye peak The half pipe opened at around mid day. and we lapped dreammaker for a LONG time. And hit the half pipe for the first time in my life! Woot woot :-D Then we took skye lark down to the K-1 lodge. And the conditions were a little icy. What we would call a good day around here.. but still not the greatest :-\ Snowdon We went up to the k-1 gondola and took great northern over to the rope tow. Then lapped the park with the rope tow.. I must admit I wasn’t to happy about that arrangement… hated the rope tow… and it kept getting my legs tired which made me suck in the park. And so I decided I was going over to Ramshead to hit timberline since we didn’t have too much time left. Mouse trap was most definitely a fun run. Ramshead We lapped header and timberline for the rest of the day.. then took caper over for the last run of the weekend. The Parks Timberline Jumps were small enough to try stuff on, but seemed to not spit you high enough for how long they were.. You needed more speed then the hill allowed, or maybe my board just needed waxing. The second and third day the lips got icy. So it was harder to throw spins off them. But if you went off to the side it was fine. The rails were set up nice. Although very small since it is a progression park. The lips for a few of them were really icy. The Stash. Gotta admit, I was pretty disappointed. The entrance took a little to get to.. it was kinda confusing. But it was fine once you figured it out. The first time through we went through the tree entrance. And that had nothing hittable.. and low snow coverage. So you were scrapping tree roots and rocks randomly through this tight tree trails. Then we got spit out almost halfway down the park. Then took another tree trail. Which had a few rainbow rails in it. Which was alright. But they were too notty to try boardslides or anything like that. They didn’t have the roof open on the candy shack. But the handrail was super fun. The features were pretty good. A few of the landings were kinda icy. But it was alright. Nothing like down here in PA. the vertical tree jib was really nice! And the stump bonks seemed to not throw you high enough. You had to really pop to get over them. So you couldn’t concentrate on the bonking, u had to concentrate on the ollieing. :-\ The rest of the rails were fine.. but nothing special.. I prefer regular rails… The jumps were all pretty good. They were set up like cliff drops. Overall it was fun. But I wasn’t impressed. Mouse Run The jump was not good at all. So I skipped that most of the time. The flat down was fun to try stuff on.. I like the C rails but I wasn’t used to ollieing on to them. Since bear creeks is like a ride on.. I didn’t like the tree jib at all. Because there was two trees about four feet apart. And to bonk it in front of you if you were regular you had to go through those tree’s. and it just made me uneasy. A few of the lips got a little icy on the second and third day. Dream Maker Everything on this park was so much fun. We lapped it so many times. I didn’t find any icy spots. The lips were very nice! And the step-over jump was absolutely perfect! Hit it with A LOT of speed. Yet wasn’t intimidating to try things on cuz you never got more then two feet off the ground! The halfpipe was fun! Never hit one before. And it wasn’t icy, it was very nice. I could only climb to about the vertical part.. or a little lower then 180. but it was still fun. Sorry about the whole freaking paper there guys. I was bored. And felt like writing. Overall it was a great weekend! with great conditions! best i've ever ridden in fo sho!

stay outta the freaking landings and dont cut people off

HAHA! i did that once and then got yelled at and stalked!

I can't see the vid... post it on youtube?

A very good idea.. it might actually get things cleared up rather then just posting how annoyed you are about it on the forum.

Ya. you both have good points.. and I wasn't exactly saying it was strictly wrong. i do it to and know whats its like. i just thought i'd show another side of it in case nobody ever thought about it before like i hadn't... if that makes sense ??? hahah! Oh and Zaldon i nvr saw it from the view.. but that makes alot of sense! and tt c6 i ditto that

most deffinitly.. the only complaint i get is the landing get cut out ALOT .. and it seems like they dotn get fixed rlly at all.. but i rlly like bear creeks park!
