The truth on me building the X games courses.

JON on Crills account
Read some stuff on here and thoght I would clearafy a couple things.
1. I had nothing to do with the layout of the course, it was send to me in a Powerpoint in november as they do all the animations for TV then, so I had nothing to do with how many Boxes/rails/jumps are in the course.
2. I have helped the Snow Park technologies with some feedback, if I thought a jump did not have enough speed, if one was to poppy fo rits landing, and so on. But I have never been allowed to hold a shovel or a rake. (for fairness resons)
3. Building a course at buttermilk is hard, its got a pitch that is very difficult to build good jumps on, but I have tried to give input on the course to make it as good as possible for everyone, girls, snowboarderas and skiers.
4. The fact that I would have build a course that fits doubles really well could not be more wrong, I build steoupts or true tables, but here at X the last jump is a 15 stepdown witch is a doubleflippers nightmare but a switch spinners dream.
5. The big Air might look like a JOI jump that is good for doubles but once agian, I had nothing to do with it, I thought it was the snowmobile jumps when I arrived.
Now you know, have to go try to kill myself with a swich dub of a "perfect doble kicker" 15 stepdown jump now!
Later, vids from HP and SS practice will be up tonight or in the morning..
