its hard to tell how big the roller is in the picture. for the snow that we had this was about the best i could do for know. should be enough stuff for the kido's to play on for know.

thats awesome that small side was perfect. I really didn't do much to it pushed the landing up alittle bit because it was all dished out. The Take off i just pushed a little bit of snow to fill in any low spots. I'm starting to think the big side is point less.

So I had this idea the other day
but
you know that wooden wall / fence thing next to the gnar bar
could you build a jump onto the side of it so it could be a wallride

thats not a bad idea. someone also had a idea about a try stall on one of the trees in bunny glen. I might be working tommorrw night i will take a look at that wall.

Yeah ive been thinking the same thing! i always wondered why you guys didnt, at times i thought there might have even been a bit of a tranny set up to it. but yeah i kind of miss the mini park from last year that was over there. i like the barrel jib, is there anyway you guys could make similar things like that? or just any other kind of bonk and also yeah the big jump is tons of fun

Also another thing to think about: The jump near the bottom (with the fast tranny and is spine style so no real landing) would be really good if the tranny was made steeper and had a bigger landing. It would be perfect for learnin backs since its so steep. I know they aren't really allowed, but noone needs to say it's made for inverts lol

the old wallride was sick back in the day. Usually it was in really bad condition but if you caught it on a good day it was a blast.

I just got home from wilmot. this week they made atleast 2 to 4 feet of snow in the park its alittle crazy cause of that. so some of the stuff might be shitty this weekend. Also the Bombardier 275 is broke down and thats the cat i nomral always use not sure when they are going to have it fixed.

I will try to take a look at that tonight. When i worked on tuesday everything still looked good the snow was shitty though cause of the little rain we got that night. I'm hoping they make some more snow in the park this week or next. i have been waiting to rebuild the big jump but don't wanna do that tell they make more snow. would be super bad if i took the snow thats there down to the ice shit would melt superfast.

Quick suggestion on this: The small side is still good, but for the big side, try to make it more of a booter than a step down. If you keep the kicker the same length and add some height to the lip (with a steeper transition) it should float people alot better.

And brice ill be there sat unless i decide to ditch work to go watch the alpine comp.

ummm, you obviously dont realize that theres no speed to do that... the jump was fine how it was, the snow is just so shitty that nobody wants to hit it

When it snows again, would it be possible to make the jumps step ups, or  make a step up, There really easy to learn on, and really safe

no... hit the jump then talk lol... u have to tuck from the top to clear it and adding more pop makes you clear less distance... learn physics
