Love that 9x16 aspect ratio. Really great for skyscrapers and trees.

God I have some good memories there. Like the train of 30 drunk ass kids all throwing backflips off that very lip while shooting fireworks off on the 4th of July a couple years.

Yeah that wind lip is solid.


Few weeks ago I went way too fast into not the biggest part, but right in the middle (probably 20ft to a good landing) and I took it a good 20-30 past the sweet spot. 4-point landing to dub eject thawk, it was epic haha

Why the fuck would they do that?!?!?! That thing looks epically perfect. I'm sure there are better videos, but this got me moist.

yeah it's awesome. one of my best memories skiing was my first time sending a sizeable backie off kang kicker

as for why they groom it etc, i agree it sucks but im sure they'd be able to argue that they need to. there's a race course right there a lot of times, and when it's not fresh snow that place is pretty gaper filled. plus ive heard some people say that it's an early season kicker, like it doesn't form up nice like that once there's been a lot of snow. idk

pretty accurate, the the transition gets filled in and there's not as much Wu Tang on it

Having such a large mass really helps you send it. You should become the next Big Air Dave. Physics says it wouldn't be hard.
