3 MUST HAVE Terrain Park Features for Upcoming Year
If the park where you ride decided they were going to add 3 brand new terrain park features this year to the hill/mountain what would you want them to be and why?
That's kind of unnecessarily big for a public park.
75+ is photoshoot territory. You're talking bigger than the xgames and dew tour for a public park.
------------------
Decent length flat rail/ flat box
Decent length down rail set up properly
Well built medium size booter.
Those are the must haves every year. More people will generally session a well setup flat box / down rail than anything else in the park. Lots of tricks can be learned and they work for any level park skier. Well built medium jump because again different levels of skiers can hit them and a smaller well built booter is way more legit than a bigger sketchy booter.
For the creative or trendy side of the spectrum
Elbows
Creative wall or jersey barrier features
Closeouts
It really depends more on how much stuff a place has to work with. If you only have a few rails and make all kinds of wild setups but don't have any of the more stock basics that's kind of lame. Flat boxes aren't the sickest feature to get footage on but they really are the top must have feature IMO. For a park with 50+ features the must haves are going to be completely different than the smaller hills.
If a small mountain doesn't have the stock things and puts all it's money into some kind of novelty feature, that's going to suck. If a mountain that has 10 of every stock rail builds something wild it can be fucking awesome.
Crotched's my main mountain and tbh I really don't see them expanding the park anymore than where its at right now. There are like 5 people I know who even hit the biggest jumps they have and they're already fucking small.
