Hey guys I was just wondering what your thoughts were on the European X games slopestyle course. According to freeskier the first jump is a 25 foot true table. I'm actually pretty excited that the course has a small jump on it, hopefully more guys will go for better style tricks instead of only doubles. The other two jumps are bigger (50 foot table and 80 foot table) so maybe we'll see some bigger tricks on them. As for the rail set up I think its pretty mediocre, I think it should have more options.

The rail setup is about as good as any that you will find for any large slopestyle event.

booo

last years course was the best slope course ever constructed and had 5 kickers and 3 rail zones. how/why have they followed that epicness up with a 3 jump/3 rail offering and how is it possible that having scrapped 2 jumps the riders can't get enough speed?! bummer. sure the weather this year is different but really?

if the likes of bdog and JF are ever gonna win at X, this is without doubt the course for them. seems like the rails are a huge part of it.

I missed almost everything from last years euro X but I did hear the set up was sick. Thats why I am a bit underwhelmed by the course this year, hope the judges make a change for sure though.
