Just heard that the jump is only going to be 20 feet to limit the spin to win aspect and to promote creativity.

Would much rather have 2 slopestyle stops than a slopestyle and a big air.

I said 2 because slopestyle and big air are 2 events. Obviously I would prefer the usual 3 stop tour.

yea has breck built many big jumps in the past? obviously i have no doubt in their ability to do so, but it seems like the biggest jumps i ever see from breck are just what they have in freeway

That would actually be really sick. You'd have to be super creative to win on a small jump like that.

well yea but still not as big as what gets built at mamoth and whister. like im talking about the kind of jumps like what they build on blackcomb every year in seventh heaven, as in big gap jumps, not just park jumps

I'm sure when asked to build a jump of a big air magnitude they'll do just fine.

Yeah, dane tudor nailed a switch triple in freeway so they're definitely not small, but I guess we're talking comparatively.

I'm really excited about this, and even more excited that I'll be there to watch it!! Now that there is only 1 Dew stop :(, I think this one is going to be bigger and better than ever!

Pipe will be missing a few of the usual riders which is a bummer, as I don't think Simon, Kevin, Torin, Wing Tai or Tucker are rehabbed enough to compete quite yet. I could be wrong, just my guess.

Pretty sure SPT has the contract for all Dew Tour stops. Unless Breck somehow changed that with the reconfigure of Dew Tour...probably not though.
