The pond skim to down box at West coast sessions was so fun last year, this looks like another cool take on the idea.

Cant wait to see the footy of kids who come off early.

Those cables are going off.
What would you do if you were to fall early? Pop hard and try to reach the ground obviously.

Why would you even consider that? I'd go 10 hours to see that, and even longer to hit that, you HAVE to go!

Their park sucks compared to where I ride, if they've still got it up at their post season rail jam I'll for sure take a vid of me eating it on that.

Looks sick! I'm surprised a mountain would put something like this up, seems like a liability issue. I guess all park skiing is though

.... Everything is a liability issue. This will work out fine. They do a contest every year at a bike festival where you cross a pond on a floating skinny. Same style setup and it wiggles a bit but it works otherwise. I wonder how close those floaties are to the box... that could be a problem.

NExt generation of this should include a wave machine and taller box. Hit a wave to pop up to box, then box will be bobbing up and down to allow for casual switch up bouncing.
