fuck that means there arent going to be any jumps at stratton tommo cause like every jump they have is on byrnside. hmmmm i dunno i wanna watch the comp but i also wanna ski, maybe ill go to okemo
so I was there today, and burnisude was closed but you could see from the lift that it starts off with a pretty big flat down rail, then goes to a flat rail with a pretty decent sized gap on to it. Then there's decent sized jump (probably 30-35ft or so) then an option of either a small down rail or another decent jump (30-35ft) Couldn't see the rest. But last weekend they had a big flat box or another 35ft jump at the end. The power park had a really sick jump, everyone was throwin down on it today.
i dont ski stratton much, will the trail that the course is on be good for watching the comp or not cause i think the final showdown should be a good show
Its not a hike at all its right at the base. Its a pretty decent place to watch but sorta tough to see the entire course, standing in the middle of the course somewhere is prolly your best bet. Right at the end of the day it looked like they were building up the lips on a couple of the jumps (they better have been atleast). Only the middle table had a decent boot.
i was there today and heard some of what their doing from a stratton guy. Basically, it goes flat down rail then option 20 footer and up rail that really shoots you out. the second jump is right after it and its tough to clear, so you need to land clean off the first so you dont lose any speed. Next is a down rail or the third jump. They are pushing back the landing of the third jump tonight and making the landing steeper because it was just too tough. Lastly there is a box/4th jump. they might change the landing for the fourth jump too.
Basically if you mess up, you need to do the rail and box at the end rather than the jumps because of speed issues. So, the big tricks should definitely come off the fourth jump cause its the last jump and the biggest, or second biggest.
is it still judged like the best score of your 2 runs on the same feature like you can take the score of your first jump on your fisrt run and the score of you second run on the second jump ...
