Hey, just wondering who here rides Martock. I'm new to park skiing, and just thought I'd find out who rides there. maybe I'll see one of you down there sometime this winter. Anyhow, just say what you feel like, about yourself, the hill, etc.

yep, but i dont get my skis til xmas day, then ill have bindings put on at martock, unless sportchek has someone who can do it porperly. i dont usually trucst them, but they might since theyre in the city. then i can try to ski the park :P. im gonna build a mini one in my backyard though. i have a rail my step brother used for skate boarding, and my backyard is a hill...

haha, gnartock. good one! too bad there isnt much gnar there, and it doesnt seem to be too gnarly...

dude, first weekend at martock, you might see a flat bar and a box, if you are really lucky./ Martock won't open this weekend, it's way too warm to make snow and theres no way they have enough down already. Martocks close but wentworth has bigger jumps and more fun features.
