honestly that would be fuckin awesome if we like all came in through the fog.

to anyone who is sure they're going though, how are u getting there.  are most of you taking the train or driving in.

if you're driving in, do u know where the closest place to park is?

o yea and is anyone who signed up under 18?  im 16, but i could probably pull off saying im 18 so i don't need my mom to sign a waiver or something.

im gonna sign up and if it turns out i can't go then w/e.

yea the first one is the street sessions or something where only invited pros and some people can go.  i was watching the show "The Block"  and they were talking about how like 30 people are gonna be going and it's gonna be hige.  i'd like to go anyway even though it's snowboarding, but thursday night is not good.

We meeting up beforehand? If so, we should all meet at the hunter college train station. Its the closest to the entrance, and any train can get you to the 6 train so you can get to the stop.

Oh, and to anyone driving, don't expect to find parking spots. Unless you want to pay a garage massive amounts of money. Best bet is to park somewhere outside of Manhattan then take a train in.

yeah i was the only skier their last year from that photo i didnt really fall that much tried spinnin on to that gayass box but it was honestly the shoddiest setup ive ever seen for a jam they were soaping up the boxes and rails with dish soap and pretty much every other time people would straight up just stop halfway on the box, this year will be sick tho skiers repin it hard in manhattan

i feel you man^ anyways, they said that they'll have a flat box, a c-box, a little wall jib thing at the end, and whatever was there from last year in addition. so its definitely expanded. but also thats not definite, that was just rumor.

jesus now im in a pickle.  either spend no money (except for train or w/e) and go to this rail jam.  or pay $80 to get a bus with other kids to go to belleayre.

im leaning towards the rail jam only because i don't wanna pay for stuff.

She's talking about the Union Square Pro Jam thursday night, not the Central Park Am Jam on saturday. I'm sure the setup will be good, that superparx company looks legit.

I know you're joking around, but you guys shouldn't have to use some sort of gimmick or walk up in a big-ass crew to make you guys stand out, just be modest and let your riding do all the talking.

well it's official, i won't be competing/prob not going.  my urbans were supposed to be ready by today mounted with some freeish markers i picked up, but the place didn't mount them cause they're in urban condition.  i had to go and sign a waiver thing and now they prob won't be ready by saturday.  i may still go and take pics or something, but now im depressed.
