Bring back the Sundown "Big Air"

If there is one thing left that I think Sundown needs its to bring back the "Big Air" or some form of decent jump over 40 feet. Look at it this way, its no bigger than average tables in parks up and down the East Coast, and you cant say it cost too much to make. Come on, you made it 90 feet one year, and i can bet there are plenty of people who wish to see it back...

the amount of snow and time that goes into that jump can be used for like 2 smaller jumps or pretty much ALL the rails... not to mention it goes to shit after 2 weeks.

2 medium sized jumps and a shitload of rails is way better than 1 big air.....

i agree here, not everyone can do tricks on 110 ft jump esepcially in connecticut where it turns to ice. id rather see two 50 ft jumps

theres so much more bumpin now at the hill... friday nights in the parks, slopestyles.. all that shit wouldnt happen if we still just had the big air. you got smaller jumps and a shit load of rails for a reason, you want jumps you get in the car and drive north an hour and a half and enjoy.

The big air cost like 10g's to make because they have to use all man made snow for, while rails cost a couple hundred. Sundown are just cheap sons o bitches.

case of beer -------


it's not expensive, it's what it cost.


46 dollar ticket for 8 hours - - - - 5.75
