Alot of instability issues due to that bulletproof layer with all the slab loading. Hopefully more people are less ignorant to the conditions

Heading up for my first snow of the year (wtf) tomorrow.

Want to help a brother out and give this video a watch and a like would be much appreciated.
We are the underdogs going up against the big dogs like Cardrona Parks. It would mean so much if we won and showed the world that the little parks can hold their own on the big stage.

Yea so good that Cardrona finally lost some of its dominance but you guys are definitely not going to win again next year. Shits going to be fierce.

So management kicked off at the boys because they weren't wearing helmets and all that shit, and said they had to delete the Instagram page and everything. So they just renamed it!!!
