I agree that in comps, tech tricks are replacing big tricks. But its good to see a HUGE, insane gap being hit every now and then.

Tbh, the park is becoming more technical and stylish, the back country is becoming more extreme.

the bc is definitely becoming more tech and stylish aswell

those train gaps were dope im sm1. I wonder if not doing them anymore has anything to do with liability or some shit

take two an old movie made by the volkl team had marc andre hit a road gap with a semi was going under him. the truck driver got pissed and honked the horn the whole time marc was in the air. then he called the cops and they got a pretty hefty fine.

Hey Rowen, I'm not sure if you've seen it but there was a hefty road gap somewhere in europe in one of the volkl team movies. If you haven't seen it/don't have it I can send you the movie. It was free so just PM me if you want it, I've watched it about a thousand times and know the movie by heart.

Yeah, there was an awesome road gap going down 40 towards Truckee from the Ranch. It was a really nice gap and not overly difficult becaus eit was a step down.

I'll have to dig out my vhs collection but I know Evan Raps slayed that train gap as well, Skogen Sprang too I believe but I can't remember what movie it was in. That shit should definitely be done again, what's more badass than busting out something huge over a train? All I can really think of would be if the train was on fire, now that would be sweet.

I used to have a rossignol poster with candid doing a three over a train and it said, "Derailed"

big deal wit the train gaps now is liability and movie corps getting busted for putting them in movies. there is alot of paper work and permits that they have to get that doesn't make it worth it for shooting anymore.. Fucking gay in my book

I think that after CR Johnson got hurt they kinda died, out given how risky they can be.
