The pic is of some box that's a stepup. Why would they ever make a box like that, just seems ridiculous.

so much shit eating potential, and it would be hard to make stepping / jumping up to the next level look good

that isnt that big of a stepup, if you can switchup or know how to pop off rails that will be very easy, Id like to hit it

there's some sick trick potential there, i can see something in my mind, i dono if i can explain it though.

start off on it one way (preferably unnatty) and then spin 90 so you're forward to the box, and thenn... pop up and turn 90 more so that you're sliding the rail natty.

if you 270ed into it and then 270ed out it would be like the sickest spinniest flowiest thing ever.

wow, you have no clue what the park crew goes through to improve the park. they are on this site and constantly asking for suggestions and comments so dont say they can put that much more effort into it.

first off, prove it

second, they should just go to mammoth or breck for the weekend, and then copy how they do their jumps, not asking us, honestly as a community i have no faith in NS

^thank you

themarks has made two threads and replies in tons of okemo threads

and comparing places out west to northeast...are you kidding

there is a little something called space and snow that is very different from the west to the northeast.

maybe if you tried to compare it to some place in the east your argument would be legitimate
