haha its gash mate, 150 m long pretty boring, but it gets me through the summer and gets me money, the freestyle nights sometimes can have some sick jibs sooo at least i get to ride all summer then go to a mountain in winter.

holy fuck. skiing for unlimited amounts of time. they must have lifts for the park tho. the dubai one is probably better, but only if it has continual skiing

That looks so dope. The one you talk about in Dubai isnt as good as it looks. You pay heaps to get in and the lift takes something like 6 or so minutes to get up the 400 meter slope. Bit of a waste of money.
