The Wallride, and some of the park crew.


Hope whoever rode the course enjoyed it, and for the skiers, this was how it looked before it was rode all day in the earlier comp. :-)

looks nice, first time I've seen stuff marked out with bluey on an indoor slope.

Cas always seems to have the best made stuff out of any of the SNO!Zones, shame no-one can see anything unless they're on the slope though, could do with some sort of balcony like at Braehead.

Tell me about it, best for parks, worst for watching,

where is the justice in this,

I could make epic claims that we were the best indoor slope for freestyle if only we had a balcony, or any way of watching.

Yeah it's a real shame, when we had the BUISC series come to Cas for the Northern round and finals, had to try and make a spectators area at the bottom of the slope for it, but not enough space really for a proper crowd, and it's a bit cold to stand there throughout a whole comp; so a lot of people missed some pretty good riding in the slopestyle.

I like that you used that gap to box again, was a quality addition to the setup back in Feb.

looks like fun but it seems like if youre to make a building with lots of snow in it you would paint the walls a different color than white.

I think that might be somehting to do with the refrigeration, same reason most fridges are white inside. Could be wrong though.

Yeah its white for insualtion reasons,

They do try to use coloured lights to improve it, but its still horrid for shooting in.

Its a good learning enviroment, and theplace exactly is in Castleford, West Yorkshire, England, haha

I love summers indoor learning things, skiing evry night, then hitting up mountains in the winter, its a cheaper version of heading to NZ,


The kicker and rails are still out if anybody fancy's a session with us most nightss,
