I hate fat metal tubes. Theyre always slippery as fuck and the only thing worth doing on them are surface swaps.

My park tried to build something kind of like an island the has a rail going into it then an up slope then you can hit one of the two down rails at the end. I feel like I've seen things like them in lots of videos

My local terrain park (if you can even call it that) has the new trend of being to afraid of being sued to open at all.

i see alot less halfpipes. and bonk jibs are a must have for every park now.

id like to see more s/c rails / elbow rails

i feel like alot of parks these days are lacking in their unique jumps. befor every park had hip jumps and spine jumps. sometimes quarter pipes. or stepup jumps with big knuckles. even table top jumps which i never see anymore.

i want more jumps. and less rails!

I barely see boxes anymore, if I do they are made out of metal and dont have the box feel. Most of the time I see are T rails which are similar.

Rails to bonks (usually propane tanks), connected propane tanks, stair landings, true tables/step-overs vs step-downs for jumps.

my terrain park has a fat box, a skinny box, a double elbow tube, a dfd tube, a down rail, and jumps.

they have so many other feature stockpiled at the bottom that they are to lazy to set up yet they have a 30ft jump...

If I were to just see that jump I would assume the whole park would be legit as hell. Kind of shitty that they aren't willing to make the dopest park they possibly can

Same here, at least for jumps. Some dumbass gaper broke their neck on a jump because the bombed the entire run and hit a jump preceding to clear most of the landing and land on their head. Now there are no more jumps.

It seems like there are a lot more features that are more "trickable" and set up for more creativity and style, instead of huge features that are difficult to complete let alone do a lot of creative things on them.
