super long flat-down but with enough speed so they could disaster the flat

DFD or really high flat rail or up flat up

a small superpipe (two or three hits)

a butter wave like in Turbo

three massive true tables

June Mountain style Hip.

I think a couple of back to back slightly undervert quarters (like the 'wu tangs' from the Van Olympic skicross) with a bonk/tap option could be interesting.

I don't think anyone will be doing handdrags, it's the olympics.

Bicycle feature from eye trip. So sick and they threw the most technical tricks, mainly spinning both ways in such a small amount of time

i've seen the movies you're all referencing, but i have no idea what the hell any of you mean when you say the "blah blah" feature from "blah blah" ...bicycle feature from eye trip? saw rail from poor boyz? where do you come up with this shit??

and to each his own, but seriously, fuck the olympics. i don't give a shit. it'll be cool to watch regardless of what they build. just another competition...

My only thought is that there should be one, maybe two, sections where riders get to choose between two features.

I guess this isn't totally in-line with a very standardized/regulated/judged environment like the Olympics course will be but wahtever

The step up to step down. It's like an elevated platform. There was only like 3 shots on it, I think Casabon, Wallisch, and P White all hit it. Casabon does a switch 3 to switch 9 i think, Wallisch does a sw right 7 to sw left misty 7? Or something. I'm sure you'll remember

Stair set with down rail in the middle, flat ledge with huge drop off on the left and a down c rail on the right.

choice between a dfd rail or an up/down rail.

choice between a giant battleship box or a rainbow box. Both about a foot wide with super smooth kinks.

choice between a cannon rail or a flat down box that you have to gap onto the down or else you'll die. spaced not too far apart in case some crazy mofo like LJ decides to transfer from the cannon to the down.

40 foot step over

70 foot setp over

90 foot step over

rails and quarter pipes in the same run doesn't work. The athletes hate that shit because of the duller edges needed for rails. I think the euro open had two quarter pipes in it two or three years ago. Look it up.

2 rails at the top

then 3 or 4 big jumps with plenty of space between them.

no cannon box (no boxes at all for that matter), no hip and no QP.

Guys the first euro x-games course is what we should be aiming for here. They had a perfect combination of jumps and rails to make for a very challenging yet innovative course. Having like 4+ jumps really allows the competitors to showcase their ability to spin left and right both switch and forward, as well as have plenty time to show what doubles they have.

guys its the olympics, lets be realistic here:

90 foot urban downrail, 6 feet tall, sharp concrete steps on both sides

275 dfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfd, ollie on, 9 feet tall

60 foot tall loop de loop rail, like a loop on a rollercoaster

410 foot table top, so we can see some god damn quints

387 foot step over, so we can get a stylish hit in, (540s and under)

675 meter step down, (gaps over the audience), because i wanna see a sextuple kang (thats right bitch, 12 flats in total)

842 foot cliff drop at the bottom for McConkey
note: must BN cliff for it to count towards your score
