Favorite park feature?

I'd take tubes over flat bars all day. Super wide boxes being used as takeoffs are also so dope. Not a huge fan of S and C rails, but that's probably because I suck at them. Whats your favorite feature to hit?

We got like a 12 foot tall metal cactus they prop up at 45 degrees like a cannon rail. Massive drop off...

I nice donkey tube. Pole jams. Z rails. Z dfd tubes, with donkey dicks make me aroused. 20-35 foot jumps because I'm becoming a pussy. A nice classic no frills down rail with a flat ish takeoff and slightly too high almost rail height.

Down lift tower tubes because they are the only down rail im comfortable doing anything on. Or a normal down rail with a wide takeoff for them switch lipz.

Fat tubes of any kind. S Rails too. And there’s this triple barrel 40 footer at 7 Springs, boy that thing is so fun for some reason.

I love S rails, could spend all day on them. But for some reason, not too many parks have them. I also like A frame rails.
Hip jumps are great when properly built, but they never have the right kick and rarely maintained. 40-50 footers tables are great to ride too.

I would love to see more tree tap jibs in parks.

I might get shit on for this, but Jackson hole has built one of the floweist lines for a few years imo. No big big jumps but 35 ishers and a solid back and forth hip/bowl line is their jam generally.

I prefer jumps that are around like 30 feet, don't really know why. Maybe I'm just a pussy.

Down tube (35' long and 2 feet wide, think Mammoth), Double sided hip or a lofty 50ft jump.

Idk if it was even intentionally built, but last year Stowe had an ~4 foot mini back country type spine running down one of their main trails in front of the lodge. It was so fun to carve over and pretend like I was ripping a big mountain line.

It might not be everyones favourite cup of tea the question was what was my preference? Like a pitching wedge vs a driver.

natepc37I’m a big fan of jumps, but in my opinion anything above like 50 feet seems extremely unnecessary when pretty much everything could get done on a jump smaller. the trade off for more hang time definitely drives some people away

Either a 30ft fat battery, big flat down rail, or a 60' jump.

Any rails longer than 70 feet, or a jump at least 80 feet long. Or a box sunk into the ground.
