So Big sky updates their terrain park page on their website about once a month, so I figured we should have a thread so everyone will know whats up with the features. What all is set up right now?

that might be kinda fun, although it would suck choosing between the two, because that little jump is fun to learn shit on and take to the bigger jumps.

the only thing i can think of is because the soloman team was on the upper mountain... but that doesn't make much sense, does he ride for them? who knows? all i know is i creamed my pants watching every trick he threw down

In ambush (big park)

3 jumps. about a 25-30 footer, 30-35 ish footer? and 35-40 footer? the last ones landing is super long so you can take it deep. then a square down rail. then a looooooong round down rail. then a dfd rail. then the pipe. and then probably by next weekend another jump.


In swifty (the mini ish park)
Short square down rail. Flat Box. Choice of a super fun flat down box or another short down rail. A fun flat rail. Tiny little roller/jump. little bonk thing. a choice between a 5-10 foot little jump, or an up pvc rail. then a 10-15 foot table. Then another 10ish foot jump, or an up corrugated tube thing. Then a cbox curving left.


We also have a micro mini park with a low down rail, a flat box, an shitty wallride, and two little jumps.

its too bad the park crew doesnt expand those jumps. huge takeoffs and landings for the size of the second and third jump

45 is it, but there is ways to get around it like land landing, like 45 feet from the lip to knuckle would

yeah. it has to be no more than 45 from lip to knuckle. but they can build huge landings, so you can take it way deeper

i reallly doubt the jump will be 45 feet.. maybe 30-35.. but it does look like you can take it super deep.. is it even open yet? i saw on friday that the lip was built. it just wasnt open, but it was a pow day anyways so who gives a fuck..

what lift tower rail? nothing was in when i was there. they just had gotten rid of the bonk. and built a retardedly large table that you could not clear. and they fucked with the other table. that was my problem

the lift tower is set up right after that white cannon... before the red corregated pipe thing.  it's completely ride on, laid flat on the ground -- didn't think it was too cool, but i agree, it's nice to see something new in there.  as for the new jump that is in place of the bonk, i think that thing is money.  you just gotta keep your speed up after the flat round rail and swoop around the gate.  it's big enough to throw some shit on.  i like it a lot. i learned some shit there, and then took it to the 2nd big jump... almost the same exact feeling, in my opinion

That lift tower rail is so smooth though. That's the first rail i've slipped out and fell backwards on in a while. It's also good for learning to spin on to.

Anyone know what they are gonna do to swifty park?  They moved the first down rail to the other north side of the lift, and today they ripped out the flat box and down flat box below were the down rail used to be.  Does anyone else think they should make a quater at the bottom of the park and put that lift pole rail coming out the top.

^ ^^^ ^^ bottom jump is banger... lots of changes have happened. swifty park is completely redone, and they added a new rail (the one from the rail jam in bozeman) right after the 3 big jumps up top.

as far as hit's on the bottom jump go, its fucking sick, i love that thing.

if you haven't seen the "what happens when tim comes to town" edit of mcchesney, check it out. that would be the jump, it's fun as hell
