If the park where you ride decided they were going to add 3 brand new terrain park features this year to the hill/mountain what would you want them to be and why?

Quad kink that is actually kinked. Bugs me when they are super mellow and basically just down rails. Multi curving rails. Brighton had an S rail to C rail two years ago, so fun. And lastly creative creeper rails. Up/down, curving, donkey dicked. There is a lot of room to expand in the creeper department.

 It would be sick to have a gap rail, like a down gap down so you had to jump the gap.

An up rail to hip landing

Tubes.

Nuff Said

A super poppy jump. It would be nice to have some fat tubes like keystone has. Always gotta have the tline infamous starship enterprise, if you don't like that feature you aren't innovative enough.

Mini pipe; nobody want's to kill themselves on a Olympic sized monster super-pipe

A decent box for learning things on (AKA the must have part)

Something to tap, weather it's a garbage can, a pole, a barrel, whatever. Those are tons of fun

I remember some years ago Mt. Sunapee had the best box ever. It was 20 or so feet long, 2 to 3 feet off the ground, somewhere around 18 inches wide and round coping. Thing slid like a dream. Learned so many new tricks on that thing.

Tubes galore, mini pipe with jibs on the side a la Livigno for those who've been there, and really wide, tall and long butterboxes, they're mad fun, but also quite pricy cus of all the materials that go into them.

And like Saga said, crazy curved rails like double S rails are mad fun to try to grease.

an "urban feature" with a staircase or wall to the side of a rail
step up... seriously i see none of these
a bigger jump in paintbursh/spray paint at timberline (*cough*, 75+ feet maybe? People are starting to throw doubles on your 50-55 footer, might as well make one just slightly bigger so they're not completely hucked, and maybe we could see a triple).

my problem with parks isn't so much the features themselves(besides being to fucking short), but  rather you don't need 1/4 mile of empty space imbetween rails and boxes.  Get that Shit closer together!

I would agree with that, I ride at a hill in Saskatchewan so we don't have a ton of space to begin with. Being able to hike a park easily should definitely be considered when designing.

Does this feature idea exist in reality already:

From the side of the roller of a jump I would put a corkscrew rail, like a rail that curved downward completely 360 degrees to the base of the roller.

It would be super fun, I would think.

Nah. All gore needs is a down rail that isn't less than 10 feet long. They literally have no down rails, the one at that the start of lower sleighride is the perfect size rail but its like 5 feet long

Ok fine, I substitute that for the DFD, since I suck at rails anyway.

1. a MEGA MEGA step up. I have always wanted to hit one of those.
2. a highly elevated close out rail. one that gives room for a creative exit, whether it be techy 450s off or smooth 270s off.
3. a GIANT rainbow box or rail. those are scary awesome.

I'd also stick with a mini pipe with random jibs in it. Slanted boxes, wallrides, c-rails, spines, gaps... there would be so much space for imagination and creativity in it
