i woould really like to go, and will try to persuade the rest of the FP crew to go. Except if its a three day event, then i might not be able to, b/c school. i'm already missing enough by goin to utah so i dunno. whenever you find out details shout though.

At this point the Hoot will be using the park in place from boyne but all decisions are made by the brothers to rework it or possibly not use it at all like as in the past. We will be up at boyne 1 week before working the course to their liking. any other questions comments

the last two years, its sucked ass. flat landing very small jumps and way too hard for speed. they need to put it on a different hill and learn how to make a good jump bigger than 15ft.

if anything, it should really be moved to another hill. that hill is waaay too flat.

i've been to it, but not competed, the last two years. the jumps are really small, and it seems like no one can keep speed throughout it. i mean, i know it's michigan, but you should be able to expect a little more than that.

We have been restricted to that hill and for other reasons in the past. We have heard from boyne this year that alot of cash will be spent on the whole terrain park this year. Has anyone seen it? I will be there personally today to check out early season progress. The year it was moved to a different hill it was too steep.

the park is still flat. They had snowmakers blowing on it but no jumps at all. It was lame.

T-parks in the midwest cannot be too steep, you just have to build trannies to the rails and jumps.

Our park at MM is super steep, That way we don't worry about speed for our 60+ footers.

I will most likely be there for the hoot, And I will hope for a better park than last season.

you say a reason to come check it out is because the schrabs are callin the shots? The schrabs have always managed to do a terrible job at designing and running a competition. I've been to two of the last 3 hoot en anys, and theres always hype about how sick it's guna be, and it never turns out that way. if you want people to show up this year, you need to give pics of the park, it's not hard at all to take pictures and post them on here. people aren't going to just drive hours to 'check out the park' if the parks guna be shitty.


All I want to do is partake actively within the process of genius work known as FARP

i total agree. if the schrabs did the park before, then they suck at making parks. post some pics of your shity park before so people dont have to drive all that way to be disapointed. thanks

Last years slopestyle run was a total joke. There was like 15 little 15' tables, all gay. The rails had a really sketchy set up, and everything was slow as hell. You cant tell us to 'come check it out' b/c most of us on this site have already done that two of the last three years, and we were dissapointed. Also, the slopestyle course wasnt even 'done' untill teh morning of the comp. If you want a good turn out, you need to be properly prepared. Have the slope course set up by Thurs night. Have pics on here and midwestskier.com, if youve ever heard of it. And have the course be open to ride on friday. Running a decent competition isnt hard, just be prepared.

and you should make it a 1 or 2 day event. 3 days means taking off school/work.... which means not many people can go.

The Hoot is only a two day event the friday before is a press day and practice day. The comp starts sat morning 10:30 and runs all day with the elusive redbull bonfire to follow and finals are on sunday morning to finish up. Make sure you are there early on sat for registration and competitors meeting though.

I've been to a lot of comps the last couple of years and one thing is clear, there is no consistentcy in the making of the jumps. There does not seem to be any standards or requirements. It all depends on who is doing the building. One thing is clear that all competitors have to deal with the same good or shitty conditions. It's to bad that guys seem to whine and blame the conditions or lack of rather then focus on giving their best effort. If you didn't do well or screwed up, don't blame the guys who built the jump or find any other lame excuse, just admit the fact that you weren't good enough that day and the next time you may be. Unless you're competing in a pro-comp building of jumps is an inexact science. All competitors in a comp have to deal with the same conditions and the good ones, win or lose, are the ones that make the adjustment and don't piss and mone about it.

They turned that pile into a hip, its about 25 feet tall with about a 20 foot gap.. its on the left when you exit the pipe up that hill beside the park. Its pretty sweet but you need a ton of speed to clear it, basically bomb the top of the pipe.

Check out a sketch of the Hoot-En-Anny course! Go to Media, Pictures, Misc, Hoot-En-Anny.

This is all tenative but. . .
first rail is the down kink. 15ft flat to 20ft down kink. Has the sweet disaster option.

The middle element will be as large as possible. How big a gap to landing would you like your big jump, 45, 55feet? It will be a v. smooth transition to about 7-10 ft. tall. Middle jump will also be sweetly shaped and bout 20-25 ft from the landing. A small kicker may also be plopped near the knoll for mini-big-air.

We are thinking about a special up-rail-jump. like jump to incline 20ft flat rail to 15ft gap to landing type of thing. . .and ?'s? opinions?

The last element will be some kind of cool box with rails and jumps, with a few ways of hitting the thing.

No front-flips or back-flips will be allowed! The big insurance man wont yet have it! If we all just stick to new school guns and lingo, then mistys, rodeos, off-axis and the like will fly.
If you ask, 'Are flips allowed?' the answer is, 'NO'. Don't ask loudly about flips or inverts as those terms scare the locals, ya know? At the Rodeo slopestyle in Wisconsin this year, about half the field sported their spun up styles without ever doing an invert.

Spread the word that Hoot-En-Anny is going down, everybody should come, and all you hot guys who know jibbin women, let them know!! The course will be just right for all abilities!!

ANY WAY possible you could make this two 35-40 footer tables linked together????? I think with the down kink, 2 tables, and then more rails would be perfect. With just one jump, its going to turn into a big air with a rail or two. Trust me on that one, 2 tables will definatley pick out the better riders from the huckers (theres a lot of them in michigan). So any way to make it two tables would be the bomb diggity.
