The park crew reset the majority of the rails this morning. There is definitely a lot of fun to be had in the park right now. Get out there while you can before the end of the season sneaks up on us all.

For those not familiar with Capital Park please refer to Traveling Circus Episode 4, http://vimeo.com/8791314 or one of the numerous edits on newschoolers.

Yeah I hope they did reset all or most of the rails and boxes. This weekend was not good, the boxes were back to ride on's, there was no lip or jump onto the boxes like they had 3 weeks ago. The amount of snow hasnt helped but they need/ed to dig up everything and replant it. tricks on rails were becoming impossible, it was turning into the old park all over again. Hopefully as Terman said they did reset the rails. The jumps on the other hand looked like they havent been reshaped or moved around in about a month. They need/ed to scrap and rebuild. Hopefully this weekend will be nice. They are capable of doing it (like earlier in the season) its just a matter of them getting out there to do it.

The rails are back to the rails of new - good lips, nice height and a lot of fun. The jumps have seen a lot of snow of the past couple weeks and I've heard they're turning the jump line into a slopestyle course for next weekends Cabin Fever competition - cannon box?!?!

By next weekend the park should be back to 100%. With all of the snow we've had there really hasn't been any reason to be in the park - too much fun skiing powder.

Will to your comment - where have you been?!? How is your chin? I've been out the past two nights and plan on being out there all weekend. Teddy and Fitz were out killing it last night. Teddy was laying down 360 switch ups over the up/down rails in the upper park and Fitz as killing it in the lower park.

See ya this weekend!!!!

Personally I like watching that Justin Terman kid throw down and I can only hope that someday I will be fortunate enough to be given lessons on how to properly grab from him!!

But yea the park is a lot of fun right now, all the rails are dug out with new lips and the big air hit is still really smooth and tons of fun! For all the hoodlums that gaper stomp the crap out of the lips and landings (and if you've been up there on a busy school bus filled day you understand the snakeage), they do a real good job of maintaining everything and keeping it all super fun!

The 1st jump seems to be the best it's been all season. And the last jump is a lot of fun. Super smooth.
