It's terrible. It's fun to blunt slide the rail though. One benefit

The park this year was the best since 2010, they had some nice features. The DFD was always money because no one their hits it, the first urban hit at the top was nice. Their issue is not knowing how to build jumps of any kind.

Yeah man, that sucks. Here on the west coast, we don't have that problem. I can hardly remember the last time I saw a snowboarder in Brighton's park.

I have to disagree with that, Wilmots park was as much of a shitshow this year as It's ever been.whether It's Tim or Cory running the show it's always fucked because Wilmot as a whole just doesn't care. Honestly think about how many trickable fun features Wilmot had this year, even the dfd sucked because once you hit that you're screwed for other features. Wilmot is a joke all across the board and It's time to stop supporting that place

This is true where i am, and it sucks. Flatbars are so fun! Everything is some kind of downrail with a few exceptions.

not changing a thing... never fixing the jumps on to rails, making everything impossible like a super slippery canon rail that is legit 90 degrees its like a fucking wall off a jump already also

My home mountain terrain park has been doing the opposite of trending most of the time. This year Gore made a down-flat rail that has a really steep down part. Also, many hitching post-type features have popped up and built with a combination of a narrow tube and a hip. Mainly because Gore's park sucks, a lot of the park skiers there have resorted to making some occasional trips to Whiteface.
