dude i have heard of so many people hitting that rail first run and not knowing about that gap. I'm sure i would have done the same thing, but if you do look at the other rail features in freeway, it would seem a little out of place to just have a straight up 15 foot flat bar in there. That sucks though man i'm really sorry to hear that

yeah thanks man but yeah i thought it was because if anyone remembers last year they had an easy flat bar in about the same place. i though it was same thing.

BUT just an update for those who care haha had surgery yesterday and i guess all went well. arm hurts like hell but vicoden is taking care of that. thanks for all the good vibes and i should be at brecks and keystones closing weekend on shoes just to mess around and watch people throw down. say hi if ya see me!

this is really funny (not you busting your leg) I was at break for the first time last week end and i scoped that rail but on the next run i was with two friends and warned both of them that you had to pop like ten feet out and neither of them listened and both got wrecked (they said they misunderstood me). Its definetly better to check out everything your self have warm up run and practice your butters or whatever, especially in the bigger parks

Scoping things is a really good plan. Unless you like hospital bills.
