Indoor park getting hate

so the slope me and some buddies ride at a few days a fortnight is being called out for not building kickers often enough, due to restrictions the park crew can't build them every week or the park would have to be scrapped due to poor/lack of snow

i feel bad for the park team having to work with all the people (gaper skiers and snowboarders) hating on them and not listening to explanations given. i mean who rides indoor expecting big jumps anyway, indoor is known for rails (like the ice coast)

feel free to leave a comment about the park, it's rad week in week out even without the 5ft kickers

Been to Cas a couple of times. Always a sick vibe and the park is as good as possible. Looks like a lot of work goes into it and the hate is unjustified.

i understand both points, would it really be too hard to make a kicker/ tabletop and just keep it their?

haha "Mini Mega Pipe"

Anyway, I've never ridden indoors but this makes a lot of sense. Not sure why everyone is so stubborn. Its really a simple concept:

RIDING INDOORS = NO SNOW
RIDING OUTDOORS = PRECIPITATION (SNOW)

supposedly they are not allowed to leave a large amount of snow on the slope for too long as it may cause structural damage

Yeah its the same down at Hemel Hempstead, the hate is so irrational. From my opinion us folks from the UK should be so happy to be able to hit some form of park on some form of snow. These indoor places are amazing to put up things like freestyle sessions each week but i guess haters gonna hate!

I am pretty proud that my home slope is Hemel Hempstead. They have a decentjump every week. This is the biggest kicker they have ever made - http://mpora.com/videos/cQ6hj0vPG
