Slopestyle courses are getting better

Both post-Olympic slopestyle world cups have had some interesting courses. First, we get a course with rails both at the start and the end, plus a weird stall feature (that sadly wasn't used very well). Not the most exciting course, but the variation was nice to see.
The Tinges world cup (whose finals were unfortunately cancelled due to wind) had a STYLE/BUTTER JUMP!!!!!! This is beautiful. Finally, a small jump where people can flex their creative and stylish tricks. I'm also happy to see more cannon features, it's another way to make rails look more important (because you can BOOST).
How do you guys feel about the recent slopestyle courses? What could make them better?

Yeah dog. Love the way there’s almost always a shark fin / side hit style jump in slope courses. I’d like to see even more creative jumps too like a hip or even a pipe hit in a course. Would be pretty wicked

I love spins off big air and rails, like a hall and Jesper are insane in that regard, but I love watching Jesper do stuff uncoventially like air all the way to the bottom of the landing, or birk Ruuds flat 0. Say what you will about daffy butters but topher and ski creative/skier Dan are fun to watch sometimes, which is why I also love the roller/butter feature on recent courses. I hope we see some fucking insane stuff that looks like it’s out of Shredsauce or jespers imagination or something tho like a full rail loop or a synthetic snow full pipe idk

Kimbo style uprail, yes please. Regulat cannons no thanks, they often just turn into a little tap in the middle of a spin.

Wallride would be pretty cool, completely underrepresented feature
