from what I heard, setup was good, typical come around park (if that means anything). andy definitely didn't let down, last year's opening park was dope. heard the snow was good today when the sun came out. im heading up tomorrow morning.

I came around opening and it was rediculously icy. One of the icyest I've ever skid at blue. Once the sun came out and warmed it up a bit it was pretty good. The setup was pretty good and had a real nice flat pipe. And a flat down flat at the end of comearound. Those were the only rails I liked to hit but there were a bunch of down bars / boxes that wernt bad. Overall a good day. But if your gona go tomorow go around 12 when it won't be a sheet of ice.

here's some video from opening day at blue:

http://vimeo.com/33813574

filmed in about an hour and edited in imovie, and i'd be willing to bet he was drunk the entire time he was filming and editing. well, at least editing. the shots may not reflect it, but we all had a ton of fun and learned some stuff, so, good times. park crew killed it with the setup, everything except the first down rail set was prime.

did you try stalling on the side of the tire? I wasn't sure if the ramps on the sides of it were big enough to get ppl up to the top of it
