I'm bored with a couple of the hits in the Cannon park so I'll be changing them this week. I'd like to know what your favorite hit is. Size, type, or even specific jumps you've seen at a hill. Include pics if you want. You may see your jump in the park! I hope you'll come check out the park and let me know how we're doing.

Thanks,

Galen

I personally like a large floater. Something around 35-50 feet. not to big, but big enough to eb able to thrown down with some major steezie style. I would say the best approach to thsi would be a full out gap with spikes on the table until the landing, so you have to clear it. Actually, no, just a large lip, nice LONG landing.

huge hips are always fun, also tables with multiple take offs with different distances and degrees of pop, big quarterpipes on warm days are fun, maybe a tabletop with a hit on one side and a rail on the other, big step down tables with really long landings are good cuz you can sky them and still not worry about landing in the flats. just a few ideas.

It's the same on the weekends as the rest of the days
And I know I should go but I'll probably stay
And that's all you can do about some things

The tramline trail is SWEET! It is steep and technical, with large boulders that create manditory air sections. The thaw/freeze did no damage to the base, it actually helped to consolidate the base and keep it in place. We've gotten a little snow since then, and there are several days of snow showers forecast which will help it stay soft, but it would really benefit from a solid 6'+ storm. Keep your eyes on the mountain's e-mail reports - they are pretty accurate. It is an awesome trail - very interresting and challenging, on par with the Snowfields, the Slides and Tucks - just alot narrower! Oh and spectators...

So I'm guessing the board doesn't like quote marks representing inches. Really, 6 INCHES wil do wonders for the Tramline. We got an inch yesterday, looks like and inch or two tonight, I'll be skiing it.

Gotta pic? I've never seen one. I can imagine it, but it might not be what you're thinking of. If not, describe one and I'll see what I can do!

My favorite hit is the big penis one at the bottom. For a step-up, watch Superpark: The Movie, and you'll see what I mean. It's where the landing begins at or (preferably) above the level of the lip of the jump.

Thanks as usual for the feed! Looks like the next change should be in the next week! Popular request has been for a step up. The kite is getting tired so I'll probably remake it. Keep the ideas comming!
