never have i said that Blue has a 70ft table. i said there was a 70ft hit, but not a table. if you didnt see it you are blind. also, for the record... today at the photoshoot the head of park crue said that it was just measured to 71ft lip to knuckle. and any tables that are at Blue are no longer than 30 ft. the booters are where its at. ranging from 25-70 ft. i dont know how you measure jumps at Bear, but the tables at Blue are 30... not even close to 45 ft

i know i should come up.... but if i place i know i will never be able to do anything in the finals. i can 270 onto and out of shit and get tech on rails... but once i'm in the air all i can do is a 3 at most.... which sucks.... i need to get working on that... big floaty 180s won't win it. what it comes down to, like i said before, i suck.

i'd go up... but i dont want to have to beat you... actually i suck. nevermind.

since you snowboard, i would start a little higher. maybe on the landing for where that smaller booter is.

you should go to Blue. its sick. i think i'm going to Bear next thursday. and i wasnt making fun of him for it... he's really good and puts together some good edits. i'm just saying that he is better at filming than a park critigue.

no, i like Bear. but every tiem i ahve been there this year it has sucked. the jumps were terrible and the lips on rails were like mini hlafpipes because of all the boarders riding on to them. it wasnt kept well at all and the first time i was there this year it was liek a dirt slalom course. its not so much that i ahve a problem with Bear, because i dont... its specifically people like Dorsey who come to another mountain and complain about it when ther own isnt any better. you could say the exact same thing about him. i ahvent heard one good thing come from his mouth about Blue. maybe he should stick to following people with a camera instead of falsely critiquing a park.

well lets see, there would be a rail. he would hit it, and try to win. soooo... what would he gain? most likely whatever they give out as prizes. now if you are implying that it is only for boarders.... i can guarantee that somebody is going to die for not letting skiers in on the comp.

i know alot of people hate PVC but i think it works really well. its cheap, it can bend so you can make cboxes, rainbows, etc... i havent had a problem with it. if you know how to slide a rail you should be fine. and its the fastest stuff that i have ever slid so it really prepares you for those random features that slide abnormally fast.

first off, you need to know how much speed you need to hit the landing. if you come at it mach 3 then dont expect to hit landing. and i highly doubt that you hit the 70 footer and didnt hit landing... its okay to be bitter that Bear's park isnt up to par right now. but dont start hating on a park that is better than your home mountain right now. you are honestly the first person that i know who has said Blue's park is a let down. have you looked at your little hill lately? not only has Blue stepped it up since last year, but right now it is above and beyond any expectations that anybody has had for Blue this year.

unfortunately this is true. i was standing at the top of the lower park today and some kid on a board comes in and starts talking crap on his friend because he cant hit anything since he is on skis. i asked him what that had to do with anything and he replied that "kids on skis dont do shit". i told his he was an idiot for sayign that and then i proceeded to 180 the first hit, fast slide the mini battleshit, stall-360 off the mailbox, and then 270 onto the flat box as that little bitch was right next to me. i made it a point for him to see he was a litle bitch for talkin crap on skiers while the only thing he did was 50/50 a 2ft wide box, which doesnt count as anything in my book. oh yeah, about the topic, i'll be there tomorrow all day since i dont have classes.

go to Blue in the meantime. they have kept theirs looking perfect since friday.

i agree. pvc can be great. its cheap, and can bend without heating it like steel. much easier to work with.

its just for their brochure and stuff. they video people skiing bumps and and skiing slow down paradise. i went lasst year thinking it would be good. its not.

i dont see how there can be a rail jam on a box. hell, even i can spin onto a box. its a different story when you can spin onto a rail, and it takes a hell of a lot more skill.

what are you de-greasing? actually, its 180 degrees.

not on my camera, we have some video. but its not mine so once soembody uploads it i'll try to post it.

haha. i was kidding, but yeah. its there... in slatington. and if you go around the back of the school there is an elementary school that has a nice double barrel down rail that is even easier to set-up.

it's like those powder runs on big mountains that only the locals know about... i dont know if i'm ready to release the secret.

the whole time we were doing it the HS basketball team was watching us and the coaches came out and watched for a bit too... even the janitor was there. but then some ass called the cops on us and they came rolling in and broke it up after about an hour....

no, its mellow and there is enough of a landing to stop.

check out the rail that some of us were hitting today... its rediculous. about 75 feet. 60 feet down, 15 feet flat. then about a 20ft landing before you hit the school. http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/41bce0d6ze0...hA.U8DBrBCXsP8x

the real measurement is out, just measured for real today... 68ft. Don't believe it's that long? you can hit it like a 50ft jump and deck out. have fun.

good day at Blue, parkwise...hiked some stuff in there for a bit and then left because of the crowds... went to Northern Lehigh HS to hit the 80ft down-flat rail, and got in trouble by the police after an hour... boo i'll post some pictures of it

you should check out Lehigh for some insane rails. probably the best place for urban rails since there are so many and its located on South Mountian....
