I was just given creative control over a spring park shoot for my mountain...

I was just given creative control to try and plan a spring park shoot for my mountain, and I'm turning to you, NS, to help me design the feature. Unfortunately, the build cannot be excessively big or expensive. I do not have access to any real budget, so it will basically boil down to what I can convince the park crew to construct(They're willing to work with me on it, but we can't sculpt the next 9 knights booter). With that in mind, I'm still looking for design ideas that could be built in a reasonable amount of time, and look good for photos (primary focus).

Things I'd like the build to incorporate:

50-70' Jump
1-2 rail features
possibly other features, butter pad, etc.
Photogenic/clean aesthetics

Think you can come up with something cool? Good designs will be rewarded, I promise. Thanks guys!

Possibly, didn't really read the entire thread...was mostly just bored in class and that came to mind.

Build a rope-swing or zipline between two rails for transferring.

Built a huge jump and then let a moose run around. Would be a sick pic you got somebody in the air with a moose under him

We all know the extent of Sugarloaf's creativity when it comes to park features... So I'd aim pretty low. Maybe a big step over jump with a big up rail/box set up next to it (similar to the one at SR but more mellow), into another feature that can either be hit straight on as a regular jump with a tap feature, or over to a hip landing on one side

I will definitely have to make a trip up to the loaf when this is done. Don't know if I'm the only one here, but big rails look more sick than big jumps to me.

how about a three sided A-frame that can be hit from all three sides? Like three sides of a pyramid so you can go up one rail and down another, or up then down, or hit it like an A-frame.

what about a pole/box/tube jam to gap to a down pole/box/tube jam?

a big step down, with a table running perpendicular to it right below the take-off

then set a butter pad into the take-off from the step down which can be used to wall ride when hitting the table.

when people have the features dialled you could have riders jumping over one-another, wall-riding under the lip as someone takes off on the down-ramp etc.

you could put a rainbow rail at the lip of the step-down too, that would be sick

well imagine it more as a pole jam/ cannon box/tube to reverse cannon tube/box. i think it'd look sick as fuck with a tweaked safety or stalefish or some shit inbetween

Two closeout rails coming together at a 90 degree angle, rotated 45 degrees to be somewhat like an arrow pointing downslope. Slap a jump in the middle over the rails and you have three options on one feature, super dope

Why not run the two rails straight and the closeout across at a 90. Then you could land in the same landing or land in a tranny on the sides. That said it would be pretty sketchy.

I used Sketchup, because it's fast and easy to use.

or a rainbow, skateboard megaramp style

I have no idea what the current set up is, aka how much work it would be to make this, but you could always put two takeoffs, small one one one side going to this, other side with a bigger lip for the nice big jump you wanted

Oh shit.... that's a fucking wicked idea!

You'd need a really mellow rainbow though, as the trajectory of the jump wouldn't fit with one that was steep. It'd need to be big too.... but man that would be cool. Massive gap to it.

Box even would be fun.

you're gonna want a big 'ol up n' down rail.  and probably a few gnarly down/kink rails for step ons.

Bump! So we're hoping to get a jump built for sometime next week. Anyone in the new england area want to come throw down on it? I can let you crash at my place, should be a fun time, but need to know asap. HMU!

Do one of those step-up step-downs with a feature in the middle, a rail of some sort. You could do a srail of some sort to change the angle or do an op-tranny option back in to a tunnel under the middle section.

But Breck's park is FULL of boxes! and Breck is really cool, so if they fill their park with boxes doesn't that mean that boxes are cool?
