especially small flat landings to 40+ft jumps that have tiny transitions

the only thing worse than the small landing, is the small landing that is also the wrong pitch.

I get soo annoyed/angry when park crews make a jump that has a semi-flat to little pop take-off and then has a steep landing.  You have to pick the PERFECT speed not to overshoot the whole thing or come up short.  Grrr.  Physics people!

too much of a gap between rail and lip (height wise that is). i mean yeah give it some height but not two feet past the unshaped lip. grrr

sticky rails/boxes

huge ruts in jib landings or takeoffs

lineups

jumps that require more speed but with no possibility of extra speed.

1. sticky rails
2. excessively steep down rails
3. Jumps that are too big for the park (so big it's impossible to make the landing unless conditions are absolutely perfect or ever!)

Short rails or boxes. My hill has such sick looking rails, but they are all just a little too short to be very fun. Its frustrating.

small landings.
any flat box or rail. unless its like 3 feet wide...then it is acceptable.
poorly built hips.....
stupidly small jumps....like 30 feet and less

A frame rails and kickers which little children dont jump over, but ski over on the other side. that totally destroys the takeoff and makes me catch an edge alot.
icy landings which have bumps and snowpiles in them, especially when landing switch are really bad too IMO.

shitty kept halfpipes (deathwalls)
takeoffs with ruts that angle your skies so your fucked
any rail/box that has a big enough crack so you hit it and fall , but not big enough so you can find it and fix it.
realllllly short u boxes
cboxes that are tilted, not curved..

Anything that is going up and ride on. Can't stand features like that. And corrugated pipes scared the crap out of me. Anyone ever fall on one of those and get cheese gratered(sp)? It fucking sucks.

i fucking hate when features are put in skew. especially flat boxes and flatbars. when there is so much tilt it makes it damn near impossible to switch up or spin onto the thing without sliding off unless you are Todd Walnuts.
