Could of put this in regionals but I figured I would get more input here at this time of year. I heard from a friend 7 Springs was given money this year to build an all urban style/ concrete type park. I don't know the validity of that, but I thought I would see if anyone has heard anything about this? thanks

seriously dude, you talk like you live here, but you don't. nobody gives a shit what you found on accuweather. It snowed and was in the low 20's the night before I posted and the night of my post, the temp went up for a bit, and by wednesday we're going to be well below freezing again.

so eat a dick

False, it's only as tall as a regular shipping container..  and it's going to have somewhat of a landing.

Regular container plus the height where the ground slopes down and it's raised up. The snow will take some of that out but it's still there

you know you're arguing with one of the guys who's building it, right?

I'm sure that you also know there's a wallride being built which will greatly improve the flow of the landing and decrease the drop.

Why do you have to argue every point made in every thread? you don't know shit man.

Parks looking dope though. Whats the deal with the webcam people were talking about earlier in this thread. I checked the cams the other day and couldn't find one that showed anything. Waiting for more pics. This alone is worth a trip to pa.

i'm really stoked on that DFD not being super drastic, I feel like our rails are always really steep and have gnarly angles at the kinks.

This alone makes me want to drive to 7 springs from Ny. It kind of reminds me of the Stash at Killington

I'm gonna say yay if you're looking for purely park, but it depends where you are from/what you're looking for out of the trip.

The flat piece above it and before it is going to be an awning. The horizontal rail in front of it is going to have a lip on it so its like a hitching post into a wall ride.

Definitely come here. Usually the Spot is open in february, so you will literally have everything imaginable to ride, from 60-70 ft. jumps to a 22 ft pipe, to the urban park.

Is the awning thing just to look even cooler? and that light-pole is going to be a sick tap/bonk feature. PLEASE SNOW NOW DAMMIT.

The park crew guys working on it while we were there said its to look cool but on certain days depending on how its built you could get on it. He said maybe in one of the psj comps if the build is right.

This will probably make their ticket price go up another $20 and make them more expensive then Colorado and Utah. I hate Springs and there over priced piece of shit stuck up attitude. Who knows how much a college season pass was there this season? out of curiosity.

So cheap compared to Ontario pass prices, my small home hill costs 500$ with the presale.

you have to be an existing passholder from the season before and order the pass in the first ordering window, which is basically the end of the season before. (i think some time in april)

I bought mine at the regular office but yeah you had to be a returning passholder and do it early.
