uh, the 50 is right at the top of noreaster, its prolly the best jump in the park besides the last one, its on a down hill though so its kinda wierd, you like come down the first steep section then all of a sudden hit a jump, which is kinda what makes it lame, they made a new jump thats like 55, but its a step up and really isnt at all trickable since the lip is crazy abrupt.

the 50 is terrible - the takeoff is whack even though its probablly the biggest its the worst jump we got!

There are two jumps that are about 50ft. The very first jump thats on Nor Easter and then one where the his and hers was. Some may say its a step up but its not the table is justnot completly flat, it pitches up slightly. I rebuilt 2 of the last three on Nor Easter. They are now about 30ft. and 40ft. OMS were hittin them yester day and I got decent feed back a few minor alterations and they should be good. The new jumps have takes offs about as wide as we could get them while allowing us to drive by either side of it. We are thinking about legnthening the very last table how do you guys feel about that ?

I agree the bottom hit needs more length.

make the last table into like a 50, make the take off bigger and widen it and it would be dope.

it was the most awkward jump ever. the best part was just watching kids launch it and overshoot it

its gonna be hard to put a larger jump in that spot w/ out moving it further down the hill.....make it so you can hit the flat down and then the jump...you can do it now but w/ a larger jump it wont be possible and it just kills the flow
