King's Crown/Rails

We are putting some new rails in tonight. There will be a down and the rainbow rail that's been on the side of the run at the top of King's. The rainbow is going on top of the start mound for the third jump. You will still be able to stand up there if you don't want to hit it. Obviously stay out of the way from the people who want hit it. We will try to get the s-rail in tonight, but no guarantees. Will hopefull have three more rail features in there by Tuesday in addition to what we are adding tonight.

I thought the feedback was super good today regarding the jumps. The overall consensus was that everyone one likes the first three. We are in the process of making the take-off for the last jump wider to the skiers left. The take-off for that is pretty dialed now aside from that.

For future reference. I'm down for feedback. We want the parks to be amazing. We have been working non-stop to put in as much stuff as possible while also trying provide a quality product. With the exception of me acknowledging this right now, I will not respond to a comment where someone asks us if somethng is going to change because it's "Fucking Stupid." Especially when they haven't ridden it and I noted prior to this person saying that things will be tweaked within a few days. I respect what most of you have to say whether it's good or bad. Respect the fact that we respect you as well.

Thanks,
jim

thanks for the update. the jumps in king's look really fun especially the first two. i never hit them partially because of shinbang and partially cause i didn't know the speed. but really sick jumps. I have one comment and that is on the stair set. I would kind of like the lip to be a little bigger up to it but thats just me.

i think the lips for the stairset are pretty sick... keeps it difficult.  i only hit the third jump today and it was perfect.  the kicker size matched with the landing makes it super easy to hit the sweet spot every time.... the pitch of both work well... you can't even tell you left the ground it's so smooth. 

Once everyone gets the speed dialed for everything it will be perfect.  keep it up... PC is slaying.

I think the park is super sick right now, my only issue is getting speed. For a little guy like me it would be nice to have the first starting hill a little bigger. Other than that super fun set up! Stoked to see the new rails and the new upper jonseys set up.

Rainbow rail and s-rail will be open tomorrow. Should have a down/flat/down box in on Pick n' shovel soon. We'll take a little breather and start Upper Jonesy's full on on Wed. Hopefully open it for the weekend!

Thanks for the updates and for all the nice down rails this year.  I kept hoping last year that there were more straight down rails and this year theres atleast one in every park.

I agree....please more rails in the night park once you guys are done building Jonesy's? Don't mean to be a beggar but more rails for night sessioning would be awesome!

yesterday. probably sickest day of the year. first time hitting kings since being set up. having tons of fun. take lunch break, get back, first run after lunch, i dont check the speed of the second one. came up about 6 or 7 feet short doing a three. ended up with two broke heels.

none the less. kings jumps are not there to be messing around with.
NEVER HIT IT WHEN IN DOUBT!!!
 cant wait to get back up there and sess kings again. those jumps are so much fun!
keep it up PC!
