I like to free-ride at Afton. But everytime I was there, their park had huge ruts. And their big park is kinda claustraphobic crammed next to that chain-link fence on the tubing run. But you can tell they are trying to make it better.

i ride there all the time, mainly cuz its close.  but ya, our park crew is doing a much much much much much much better job this year than past.  our park isn't amazing, but it is defenitlely a step up from past years.  let me know if you're coming to check it out.  i'd love to see some new faces.

It's pretty decent this year I've hit it up a few times.  I always like afton's jibs but their jumps generally suck balls. 

For example they have a 30-40ish table at the bottom of the meadows park right now and the landing is waaaaay to flat and not nearly long enough.  They're jumps are almost step-downs--they don't know how to make the landings roll up a little so that they can be steeper and longer like this
