indeed. thats what i said. i was up there again today and they werent open so idk. but nothing in park city is great right now. the park crew continues to want to make all the tranies super fast and shitty. the last in upper jonesy's was nice. you just have to be careful of headwinds cuz they just rebuilt it for doube flips so it a booster.  like i hit it once and it was nice and i cleared it then i lapped back and cased it like three feet short with the same speed.

The gondolas will be open as soon as I can get some clear lexan to go around the windows.  And it's not the park crews fault the jumps are quick trannies.  It's the cat drivers and don't get me started.... 

And weather is something you have to deal with.  It's not a controlled environment, if you are sketchy about something, go to a different park.  If you don't want to hit anything, go ski the trees or a groomer or go home.  Nothings perfect.  Everyone was telling me to put more lip on it and make it more poppy so we did.  Guess I can't make everyone happy.

Oh,  and I plan to run to the depot tomorrow to get the stuff for the gondolas...  As well, the bolts I used today to try and get the trap single tube put fully together snapped 3 times so I got frustrated and went up to the shop to build a couple new features.  I'll be getting stronger bolts for that tomorrow as well.  And don't get me started about photo shoots.  It's a yearly battle that never makes anyone happy no matter who you are...

It's all good, it just takes me a while to get around to everything.  The gondolas were set up for a photo shoot but have to have protection over the windows to be open to the public, the single tube is just a pain in the ass and would have been openable today if the sets of bolts didnt keep breaking.  Like the feature that didn't have lexan on it over in pick, it was put in early this week but nobody put lexan on it so I did that first thing this morning.  I've got a list of things I want to do/change but I don't know if I can get it all done in a week.

Thanks :)  I'll let the boys know.  It was the popular feature today because it was way low light.  The quarters will be making their way out of there shortly but the mini wall will stay in, with a few adjustments.

A mini park edit, without putting it on the front page.




Will work for food. Or mountain dew.
Will work for food.  and mountain dew.  And anything Capita and Airblaster.  JP making the most of his coffee break.


Starting a new trend
We are starting a new trend.  JP is sporting the double goggle, oakley and quicksilver.  Myself, I am sporting a welding mask, just in case the sun pops out I'll barely be able to see anything.

I don't have a clue...
I don't know what was going on here, but the picture is priceless so I just had to put it up.

New feature
New feature, number 2 of 3 today.

Asdffff
Same

Refreshment

yea that new feature in pick is soooo fun, if you guys are changing it, one thing that would make it WAYYY doper is just making that little flat platform a bit longer. just a suggestion, but it's still sooo much fun.

as far as jonesys is concerned the second jump is my favorite because its awesome to learn stuff but the landing doesn't match, its totally banger and flat,
