Replying to Parks Progressing Too Fast>?

A little background;

So I used to ride Avila a few years back (5-6?) when it was fairly tame. Gnarliest features were super long boxes, maybe a double kink rail, etc. I was able to hit everything and was progressing since everything was within my ability.

Then, my home mountain changed. The park where I'm at is pretty static. Same 3 line jump, 10-15' tables, moderate kick, then a box and a few rails. A family hill. Every year they move things around, change the setup a bit, but basically it's the same thing. Throwing 3's and 5's, switch on and 270's off of the rails, we were above average at our mountain.

One day, getting a little annoyed of the beat features of this smaller hill, my buddy and I decide to trek out to Avila, after 4-5 years of being out of touch.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED IN 5 YEARS?!?

Everything is set up super gnarly, hand rail style, or like quadruple kink circular tubing. Jumps you have to hit tits out or you're not making that landing. After a day there, I was finally able to slide a full rail, although barely able to walk from all the bruises.

The craziest part: EVERYONE is sick! I was one of the worst riders there! Not that it got me down, I was stoked to see how the community as a whole has progressed, but I didn't realize to what extent?
The kickers I could barely clear with a 3, while others dominated with cork 7's, 9's, lincolns, anything, and all by 13-19 year olds.

Can anybody else relate? Any other comments on progression as a whole? I'll definitely hit Avila more often now to get back into it.
