Heck Yes. I live like 15 min from there, in Plainwell. If it was the right weekend, Id prolly come down for it tyler. We could also hit up some urban that night or soemthing. As for rails.....yeah know, narly ones. Double kinks, up-downs, fun stuff. Lemme know if this goes down.

hey mosely, let me know when its gonna be so i can come down. it would be cool if you did just a straight up jib contest, cause it be impossible to build any decent hits at echo valley. just set up a bunch of rails and boxes and let the madness ensue. by the way, this is jason if you didnt know

Just throw a couple straight rails, a rainbow, a couple s rails and then just make on thats totally crazy... like a up/down s rail. Maybe throw a picknic table in there for shits and giggles. If you can put a decent table at the bottom so people can throw spins off it at the end of their run. Maybe if you know anyone with a old p.o.s. car.. tow it out there to grind on.. it would be different and hot.

yeah dude, just set up a jam formatt, with the skiers voting for the winner at the end. Maybe a winner take all comp, or 1st and second pay-outs. As for features, id keep it simple. Maybe a flat or kinked box. And a kinked rail of some sort. If you put a lot of crappy things in there, it wont be as fun as 2 or 3 good features. What were you thinking about dates? Im going to be home over thanksgiving break(tues-sat), and plan on hitting soem urban with Hornbeck and TJ, let me know.

im stilln not sure of dates because i dont wanna run over any other comps you know but yea for rail so far we have a hand rail neil barkers stole right out of the ground we might jack a picknic table and we are thinking a up-down for sure, a bow( maybe set up like a hand rail) a strait rail and maybe possibly a flat down flat it all depends on cost, so if you live near k-z00 and you can weld that would be sick
