Stopping home quick to update the masses...

Lets just say it is good enough to get me to have car trouble today and not make it in to work...

3 jump line, decent air off them. Real decent air actually. They are VERY nicely built. Wide takeoffs. 35-45 footers, with a money booter with at least 50 footer or so. All hits have options. Large mellow taekoff, or smaller, floatier airs.

There is a nice little butter pad setup. Rails are all setup very nicely. C-box looks pretty.

Flat box and those rails are still over on Holly, but I'm guessing they'll move them over soon.

I'll snap some photos quick today of all the features and post them up.

i'd say its close to that. i didn't pace it by any means. But I'd say she ranks in around 50 feet.

Eh, it was so much better this morning for some reason. The 2nd table has no landing, and is too short. I land soooo low every time.

Not today my friends. lol, the snow was insanely sticky. Or maybe I should wax my skis. But straighlining the second kicker, I just made it to the landing. (This was towards the night, the new snow they got was horrible though, reallly really sticky. I could face downhill, and not move.)

theres kids on that blog complaining that the jumps are too big. if they cut down the jumps because of that..i probably wont do anything, but ill be mad.

why is it so hard for kids to get it into their head that if the jumps look too big for you, you shouldn't be there. there is a mini park for that.

Soo today at Kb, im going to say im very impressed that they have a very very nice rail line, both Cs are up, the rainbow box is up inplace of the fuf, so you u could be hitting 5 jibbs in one run, and there plenty of room after that flat box, i can see that line being extended. jea jea

make it seem like you are going to kb. then right as you are pulling in throw a fake out, burn out and speed off to holiday. then you can tell the grrrlz how you are an amazing daredevil driver. then ask them to make out. it can't fail.

haha, the thing is, my future (93.2% chance, lol) girlfriend will be there, and I was hoping on seeing her again, cause she lives in freaking, arcade. So yea, I'm pissed, and no, I can't fake it out, cause i have to watch my damn brothers, I'll be there with my little brother trying to teach him rails at the age of 8 though. lol. Come say hi, give him tips, seriously, he'll feel important.

pfttt. It is MUCH better than it has been the past few years if you ask me.

The landings are rough though. But when has WNY had ANY good landings?

I concur.

I actually think KB's set-up this year rivals Holiday's, and it for sure blows HOlimont out of the water. So yea, leave WNY then.

it takes so much work to get speed for that jump, and i think they should make the take off on it like the one on the second one. other than that it isn't too bad condidering the lack of snow. the rail setups impressed me, except for the flat box. why did they have to make that part where it kinks down slightly part of the kicker.

the thing that really upset me though was the wallride. what they have there now is just a waste of snow that could be put to better use somehwere else.

I'd say it's a 45 footer.

The thing that worries me is all the snowboarders LOVE the smaller middle jump.

And I can see them doing something gay like holding the comp on the smaller table.

id say its easily 45 feet, thing is that means nothing its all about how its built you could make a 30 footer a gazzillion times bigger than that jump. Build them up not out...
