Unique features or creative setup of standard features. I know there's some wild stuff out there and figured I'd make a thread.

Yeah I was just trying to figure out if that's the style the other kid was talking about. Only one I could find in a few minutes searching so said good enough.

I'm super disappointed I only got up there 4 times this year. I would have loved to gone up more. Didn't get to hit any of those features.

Yeah, I don't think I've been up there since I worked at gore and that was 6-7 years ago. If my knee wasn't fucked I would have gone up this year. Next year it's def happening. After seeing the pics on facebook all winter I def want to shred some of the new shit next season.

all of those features were put in the park after st. patrick's day. i was up there the first weekend that first photo was put in. a lot of them were posted up below the jump line on brookside but the natural feature thing was put in there way before i went up there this season but they had part of it up alone the lat part of danny's bridge while veering left before the brookside jump line.

Ride across it and not die. People through some tricks down in it though. Still haven't seen any foot but the pics look good.

I def want to make it up to whiteface a couple times next season. I used to go a decent amount, but it's been quite a while now.

Gore has had only one unique feature this past season, with a combination of a step-down jump, a log rail to drop, and an actual tree jib. The rest of the time it has been the same old stuff.

Need pics of said jore setup. Mildly skeptical hearing that name dropped in this thread but intrigued at the same time.

I'm pretty sure Attitash used to have a similar feature like that, but with a flat down box

ur lookin at it the wrong way. this pic was taken from the bottom of a landing pad. the kicker is on the right side of the pick. and if it was a meant to be a flat down flat, it was set up really shitty. here are a few more pics:

atleast you have a park desinger!
We have to build our own jumps and there is only 2 flat rails that are both rusty! Basicly it's DIY mountain but we have to pay for skipass, it's pretty much throwing your money in air.

Phil Casabon hit it when he was in Stowe in January but it took him a few tries to get it. It never made it to the park, and I'm not sure why.

Never been to sunday river. Didn't look too sketchy but like I said that clip in the video was all I ever saw of it. I def think more weird elbows will be popping up in the future.

Could have gone that way for a while but I think now the progression or the general rail skills can def get down with more of those kinds of things.

Already seeing lots of mountains putting in large rails and even the youngins slaying them.
