Favorite old school park feature

SimplyClean · 2014-01-30 14:41:13

What is everyone's favorite old school park feature? Back in the day they definitely had some crazy features that you'd never see in today's parks. Lets see some photos/screen grabs of old rail/jump setups! Mine are probably the up box to tank gap from Realtime(2007?) and the gap to butter table to step down at the 2007 CTI.

Way back (pre-2005 I think), Giants Ridge in northern Minnesota put a school bus on the hill for people to jib.

I remember first seeing this phot in Powder when I was still pretty much a gaper and I've seen it a lot since then, but I still have no idea where they're planning to land.

To the people complaining how old they are...it doesn't matter what year it took place. An old school feature still could have been put up in recent years, for example the hip/channel/quarter pipe jump that Thall brought back at his invitational.

Hyland has one, only about 2-3 feet tall tops. it's really fun when it isn't sticky (which it usually is).
