yeah Wallride or Die. Such a sick slogan. You should tell them to plaster that all over their billboards. People will flock from all over to witness YOU shredding the Wallride while you scream Wallride or Die WALLRIDE OR DYE WALLRIDE OR DIE WALLRIDE OR DIE WALLRIDE OR DIE WALLRIDE OR DIE.

We are still looking at an April 16th closing. It all depends on coverage at this point. Snowriders Gone Wild rail jam this Sunday, 4/9. $1000 purse, rails on Bull Run, a lot like the rail jam in November. I will get more details when I get back to work on Thursday.

not true! i had an email yesterday saying we're supposed to stay open until easter sunday (the 16th). its supposed to rain this weekend though... in any case the park is still pretty good for right now. no word yet about what the rail jan setup will be, i'll ask around.

ok, i lied. oops. i just got in this morning and found out we're closing the 9th, and i'm pissed. anyway, the rail jam should still be good, and no, it won't be on the u-box again. i'll put pics up of the setup if i have time later on.

K sweet you should just make it a set up people can go crazy and trick out on. like the flat down box but with like a mellow jump on like 1-2 ft gap. then a flat box some kink rails flat rails just funs stuff no crazy weird setups that no one can throw down on and progress on, thats not the way to end a season

the park rangers tell me it's gonna be:
wide butter box (16 ft wide by 4 ft long)
40 ft. flat down flat box to 40 ft up rail to 40 ft. flat down flat rail
wallride to truth rail to urban s-rail

not really, but that'd be funny though...
as far as i know there'll be three options:
1)see-saw to mini flat box (for the little kids)
2)minivan with flat down rail on top
3)20 ft flat box to 20 ft down rail
it's going in sat. night, so no pics or anything before then.
