So what would you guys like to see in the park this year? Keep in mind that we can't do everything, and some things just aren't reasonable, but I'd love to hear some ideas/suggestions.

I'd absolutely love it if we could get a couple nice 20-25 ft flatbar rails.

this might be unreasonable, but a nice elbow rail thats as thick as big willie or watever u wanna call it would be pretty legit

Does any one want to explain what the picture was? It isn't showing up anymore. We have some ideas for new rails, probably going to scrap a few of the aging and messed up rails, while building some new.

Tad, it worked when I clicked on the picture, but it was a bigger pipe laid on the ground.

If you click on that facebook link up above that luke posted, it's basically just one of those bigger pipes set up flat or down.

Instead of building 2 jumps at the end of the park (you cant get enough speed to hit them any ways). Maybe make a propane tank cannon or some type of cannon cause it would look way sicker and get better publicity and would get more use.

What?

You can definitely get enough speed to hit those...

They're the best jumps in the park

Yes definitely agree, keep the bottom jumps. I would like to see some kind of cannon rail somewhere though, would be pretty sick imo

I feel like the best park is a simple park. I am all up for creative features, but nothing can really beat a standard flat bar, just cause the tricks are almost limitless off it. Also since the tall-t is the best rail in the park, please set it up in a way so its not super super scary to hit... I mean give it a gap and some height for sure, but maybe not super big like it has been in the past that only 2 ppl in our entire park hit it... You don't need that much speed to set a good spin off it...

O yea jumps were $$ this year. I love how poppy the jumps can get, it really gives you way more air time and makes up for the lack of speed the longer jumps require. I mean our big hit this year was larger than any jump in Park Lane at breck, just cause we put crazy pop to give you a lot of air time. O and like the few weeks we have a hittable 3 jump line is super fun, should try to prolong that trend.

Id love to see a barrel bonk or something along the lines of a jib, maybe a butter pad? Other than that, what people have already been saying, more flat rails.

since the first jump has two lips, on the smaller side put in the wall ride as the lip then leave a little gap and but a smaller down rail in, would be easy to build, something different, and i would imagine it wouldnt be to difficult to get

Roller coaster to down box would be fun. A canon would be sick also.

But instead of what happened last year i would like the hand rails and boxes mixed up. I like a bit of both in my line. Not a fan of the box line and hen the hand rail dub kink line. Why cant here be a mix of hand rails and boxes. just a thought

I took this picture riding down the lift yesterday morning and it got a pretty overwhelming response on Facebook, so I though I'd share it here too. Set up is so fun right now. Anything else you guys would like to see?

Keep the box the way it is, so perfect right now.

Suggestions: tilt the wall ride back so its not so vertical, its kind of awkward to hit. and maybe a mellow down box would be cool

overall though, truly one of the best setups I have seen as of recent.

Plus not too much of a fan of the cannon in front of the a frame.

potential plans for the immediate future could involve, s rail, the new shotgun down rail, and taking out the cannon.

^ 30 feet long, 2 2 inch pipes, and it's going to be awesome because we can do sooo many things with it. And both that rail and the s-rail got put in today.

So is the dub kink out of commission for good? I think it would be dope if the dub kink or the tall-t can make an appearance sometime soon.

Other than that the park is real fun. The jumps were so fun, esp when u have the inrun salted sooo fast and perfect size.

Dub kink is busted, and won't be coming back. We're going to build a new one, but we have to get the metal for it first. Tall T is good to go though. Expect the jumps to be rebuilt sometime early in the week in preparation for the big air next weekend, with two lips on each.

Lovin those jumps. Still big and scary since they're the biggest yet all season but super well built.

Also that shotgun is fucking AWESOME.

Keep up the good work guys!

Have to agree, the shotgun is really fun. Also, for big air this weekend we'll probably have to remove a couple of the rails, so be expecting that. Also expect a couple new lips to be built.

And we might have just built an even bigger Willie...

Pretty sure it's going down tomorrow. And the name is Fatso I think. Big Black is reserved for something else...

Hahaha I just saw the name on the facebook comments and thought it was fitting. I can only imagine what the real Big Black will look like. Fat man would be good too, but then again Im not in charge of naming the rails...

Anyone know this talk about a new double kink?
