my guess will be 2-3 sets of jibs fallowed by three jumps ranging from 50-70 ft.

right rails dont play a part... man you guys are idiots why did vanular win last year oh yea 630 on well all be damn thats a rail trick... everyone thinks rails should get more cred but the fact of the matter is for most jumping consistently is harder

Last year they didnt even count the picnic tables at the top, at least not during qualifying. Copper's set up will only be worse because if its where the catalyst park was, there wont be enough speed basically for any jump over 40 feet. Sorry, but its just gonna suck this year.

and the jump for the finals(big air jump too) (if they did what they did last year) around 80 ft

dont even bother then.

with all this attention, so many people that shouldn't enter are going to try and enter and ultimately snag spots from people that are more suited for it.

well, if they decide to mimick the gravity games course, i don't see any reason why it shouldn't be sick, i think it was like 4-5 jumps with a different variation of jib after it, i see it as a nice change, but they could fuck it up to
