Hey guys just wanted to give you an update on everything new for this season and get some feedback. What did you think of the parks last year? What do you want to see changed for this year?


A bunch of dirtwork has been done in the Big Bucks jump line and main rail line next to it.


Almost all the refurb is already done. This means we will have more time to build new rails. What do you guys want?

Park was mint last year.

The cannon rail you guys put up at the top of the big triple line is always fun and so is the long red down flat down tube rail so if you can please put those out this year.

An up flat down rail like the one they have at Keystone would be a pretty cool addition.

Battleship rails are cool. Also perhaps a tiny whaletail feature like so?

The referenced post has been removed.


We got 3 new fat tubes last year so a line of them should be easy. I am hoping to get my hands on another one. If so, it will have some kinks since we have enough stock ones now.

Make the first jump bigger. Keep some more conservative rails in as well as skitz ones. Lots of jerry pits

I was thinking you guys should push the jumps down the run a tad, so theres more speed going into the first jump, and it can be built a little bit bigger.

One of the only places I've seen do dirt work in a park. Big risk/reward option there. But makes more sense in NZ where snow and temps are everything

Yeah def one of those not for everywhere situations but it seems to work out well. I think they had their big line open mid/late june last year. Thats impressive. If you have it all dialed in and are building the same spots every season why not.

Speed into one has always been a challenge on slow days. We couldent ever move it down hill because of the dirtworks. Luckily this year the dirt works for the whole line has been tweaked. Jump 1 dirt works have moved down hill only a little bit. More importantly it has been scooped out going into jump 1. This means the knuckle won't have to be built so high to get that nice hybrid style jump. Lower knuckle means more speed.
