My local park had the same rule about inverted tricks up until this year... Still only have a jump line of 2 jumps that are never maintained though. you can't get enough speed for the first jump even If you go right from the top of the hill AND you need to speed check before the second jump to avoid overshooting so its hard to throw good tricks anyway

I wish mount snow could just drop their park at jore.

BUT it doesn't look like that's happening.

So this is the ONLY AND BIGGEST jump on my home "mountain"
There is few rails (sticky, and rusty) but the resort doesn't do ANYTHING to them. they build lips at the start of the season and let them be there.
You can sometimes get a showel to build lips, but you can't modify the jump 'cos some little kids might jump it without knowing. The landing is also ice and FLAT AS F****. If you fall, you literally die! 
So you can all stop bithching about how you only have 3 jumps, and only 5 rails, and only groomer the park every second day... FML.
Now you know why i suck at spinning off jumps...

I really wish we had a nice chubby tube, and our tabletop at our mini park was better maintaned so I feel more comftorable flipping off of it.

All over the midwest this is a rule. At my home mountain you can't do inverted tricks in comps or else you get DQ'd. It's pretty stupid, but a lot of parks that are getting better don't have the rule.

I used to work at that place many years ago. Mount Jore. Awesome glades and a sick all around mountain, but if you go to have fun don't do it in the park.

At least they're kind of almost trying these days.

Jesus, that sounds like an insurance nightmare.


It amazes me that mountains sometimes don't want a park because of insurance, but let stuff like that go on when they actually have one. And I understand your pain. Riding mountains with horrible jumps everyday all season for a few years is why I don't spin anything big anymore.

i had to build a couple of features for the park at my hill but it is starting to seem like a waste of time since none of them got set up this year

That's how it is at my mountain but nobody is actually going to pull your pass unless they're an asshole.

at my home hill they say you cant, sometimes i get stopped by some old ass ski patroller, but we have an airbag so i dont think that rule is actually relevant anymore.

small quarterpipes along the sides. I know they are a pain to build, but they are so fun.

I would like if my home mountain didn't set up huge features. The last week they had a huge step up fun but wasted soo much snow and took most of the terrain park space.

Telluride used to have an awesome park, but they regulated the hell out of it and now it kinda sucks. I think we need some bigger jumps, some more rails, perhaps a wall ride, and a sick tombstone feature. I dont know why, but I love tombstones.
