Dagmar 2011-2012 - Toronto - Forums

dagmar got rid of their pipe in order to have a jumpline. ask 9 out of 10 people who ride there and they will say that its a better choice. barely anyone knows how to hit a halfpipe, its not an easy thing to do, especially when dagmars halfpipe wasnt all that small. its not worth the money to maintain a half pipe when barely anyone will hit it, and it takes up space. even lakeridges halfpipe is only open so many days a year because of weather, and lakeridge has a sick pipe.

wait, i wasnt aware that things in the olympics were required to be in every park? should we make 80 foot booters in every park just cause theyre in the olympics?

your the only one hating on dagmar in here, why do you bother? everyone else is stoked on what were doing with the park this year, stop focusing on what you think is wrong with it and either look at alll the positive stuff there is, or just stop, cause we all get your point now.

dont be a bitch.

would a half pipe not make dagmar as a whole better?? of course it would.
barely anyone knows how to hit a pipe? thats news to me.
have you ever skied anywhere that has a pipe?
ive seen lots and lots and lots of people that sure seem to know what theyre doing in one.
just because you dont, doesn’t mean nobody else does.

its not worth the money?
explain to me, how in the fuck, you would have the slightest idea of how much it costs to provide and maintain a halfpipe? you dont. youre just assuming.
what makes you think barely anyone will hit it? that seems extremely hard to judge considering they dont have one to even begin to calculate how many people would use it.
Again, just because you wouldnt, doesnt mean other people wont.

again, dont be a bitch. you know exactly what i meant. With halfpipe now being an olympic event it just surprizes me that every resort does not have a pipe. not because it is REQUIRED, but because it is obviously more popular then ever. Meaning more exposure to people. potentially life long skiers, or new ones, who see pipe on tv, and want to try.
does that mean dagmar needs an olympic caliber pipe, or in your poor example "80 foot booters", of course not. no one that rides there is or is going to be an olympic athlete now are they? but SOMETHING would be nice, wouldnt it.

you, like everyone else in this thread seem to share the same immature ideology that
constructive criticism = hating.
i dont hate on dagmar. for their size and location i think they do a pretty damn good job.
i, unlike most of you however, do not think dagmar is perfect.

the only way things will ever get better is if you think of what needs improvement.
if everyone just stands back and collectively agrees that dagmar is perfect, then what is there to improve?

throughout this thread ive made many serious suggestions on what i think they could improve on.
realistic suggestions.
such as:

park passes.
more varied features catering to a larger rider audience.
reduced lift ticket prices. ($50+) comeeeeeee onnnnn.
half pipe.

these are not MY ideas, they are common things that are implemented by almost every other ski resort i have skied at. there is a reason why these ideas exist and are practiced.

why do i bother?
because i would love to see dagmar improve. and i hope that potentially someone who is not as defensive as yourself will one day read some of this and agree. That no matter how good you think something is, it can always always be better.

if this all seems like "hate" to you, maybe you should sit down for a sec. think really long and hard. re-read every word ive wrote, not just in this post. but in every post in this thread. think long and hard some more. and hopefully, eventually notice, that my supposed "hate" kinda seems alot like "love".
i just want to see it be better man, deal with it.
