i was up there. they have good luck open and cub to sunnyside to broadway. the only jibs they had up was wildwood which was hella icey but really fun to ride. you had to land really perfectly or you would wash out though. noone was really up there either

dont do it man. I separated my shoulder last december and would have been fine in 5 weeks if i didnt ski, but i was a dumbass and reseparated my shoulder and turned my 5 week recovery to an 11 month recovery. Give your body time to heal and hit the rehab and therapy mega hard. Seriously dude.

The footage I got from saturday is shit because of the setting i used and because the sky and everything was really gray. I got some alright footage from sunday, but I don't like the setting much so I'm going to have to play around with it some more. I put together some of the clips, didn't really do any editing. Hopefully this works

angle up your camera so we can see more than just the 2 feet of snow in front of your skis. Other than that not bad

Yeah I know, it's just hard to tell the angle that it's at because you can't get instant feedback. Also, I had it on the highest resolution, which is nice but only has a 127 degree view compared to the 170 degree angle at lower resolutions, which I'm definitely going to use instead.

oh word, plus its also hard to tell what angle your head is going to be at when you ride. Im sure my standing posture is way different than my riding posture as far as head angle goes

I'll be up there tomorrow. And I wouldn't go up top if you don't want to hurt your shoulder. It isn't necessarily icy, but really crusty in places

There's a small jump and 8 rails i think. You can only hit 4 or 5 in a run, but it's still fun

Just got back from GD rascal was sick had the rainbow box into two smaller tables then a long cannon box into the old shot propane tank. everything was riding pretty well. chris also made a bunch of new hand rails that are really cool. he made a flat single barrel urban handrail, down flat handrail its sweet, and an even cooler short flat bar angled to longer down rail! check it out this weekend

hey just a rodeo park update: at the top is a little rail garden with a small down rail  into the elbow down rail into a down flat and a inverse rainbow box(gnarly but drew ad jason slayed it today!) the rails are followed by two jumps and a wierd kinda big road gap where you can head in to one of  two big step downs that are super floaty and fun. i had a very good time this weekend everyone should come down for H-town!
