Another Wall Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 I have been noticing lots of park suggestions and criticisms in lots of posts lately so i made this. Post what you want to see this year, what you liked from last year and what you would like to have changed from last year. Quote
Another Wall Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Posted December 18, 2007 just watched this vid of mountain high park and got an idea... when we set up the dragon box/ u box what ever you want to call it there should be a down box set up right after it kicks you out with a sizable gap to it. so you would hit the u box and then land on the down box. that would be real sick.

JUVY#7777 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 when we get enough snow maybe a little more jumps but i do love the rails so im not exactley shur just dont have to much of rail or jump...............have it just right......balance it out..........beecause last year it seemed when we got into the season it was jsut all jumps but otherwise with what we have now is good I have been noticing lots of park suggestions and criticisms in lots of posts lately so i made this. Post what you want to see this year, what you liked from last year and what you would like to have changed from last year. more slide boxes and a mix of what u said Quote
A_B Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 it was def not all jumps last season. post some ser suggestions Quote
twist0pher Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 thanks for making this and i hope bear staff can read this and reference this in the park build. to the suggestions i would like to see some nice urban style lines and one thing is leave that flat bar aways at the bottom there its the best spot and never had a bad day with it there.

snowboarddude Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 i like having the rails dug in deeply like they were tonight Quote
Freerider Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 I would like to see the flat down kink rail set up in a couple more places instead of in front of the tubing park like last year Quote
sectachrome Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 hips and big banks to do slashes and mess around on. Quote
burton71 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 Jump line Hip Barrel bonk Hubba ledge setup as an up gap Up rails Quote
Another Wall Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Posted December 18, 2007 i like having the rails dug in deeply like they were tonight This should be done but in the beginner's park, all boxes in cascade and a lot in black bear should be set up HIGH. I know that in some ways we don't have the slope boulder has for a jump line like theirs, but if any one has seen their most recent jump line, that is more or less what i'd like to see bear set up as an expert jump line. And also regarding jumps, they should have a solid line of at least three tables in black bear with multiple take offs ranging in sizes like they had a few years back. Also I remember a few years ago they had a down rail set up on the downside of a tabletop, making for a big gap to a rail, but you could also choose to hit this feature slower as an urban rail buy riding over the lip and jumping off the tabletop's deck. I would love to see another large gap to a rail that wasn't as challenging as the stair set gap. this would be a great set up to work up to better tricks on the stair set gap. Quote

EAZY-Emuntz Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) when you said the u box/dragon rail to down box that reminded me of this sick vid i saw on youtube and the guys were sessioning it all day. It looked so fun. I would also like to see a barrel bonk, a black piping thingy jib, a box combo, and a butter pad to down box P.s. I think you meant the Inverse rainbow/ rollercoaster box Edited December 18, 2007 by EAZY-Emuntz Quote
skeer_tomas Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 I took some time away from the firing squad of snow guns and was sketching some stuff tonight. If anyone wants to sketch some stuff out on paper along with a description of what it is/how its set up throw it in the suggestion box in the lodge or flag us down and show us your scribbles. Quote
forumRW Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 i said this in another section...higher table tops then the previous years in the intermediate park... maybe a line of three or so but high so they dont have to be kicky to get huge...this allows for a mellow yet steep lip. also (yea, i know im getting picky here) i'd like to see things a bit more neat - i hate when the park crew has gone through everything and there are those ice chunks all over the place in potential landing zones. and although not many people tried it, the tree jib last year was sick but you couldn't get very high off it...i would fly into it but the lip wasn't set up to allow more than around4 feet off of it onto the tree. but most importantly (and i know bear has done a decent job at this before) keep us on our toes! mix things up. Quote
nick Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 I completely disagree with boxes needing to be super high... Its not how high the box is, its the style of lip. keep the urban lips in cascade etc and put the ride ons over in the begginer park. But as far as height goes i think some of the rails and boxes could be a little lower. They dont have to be super high to be set up good. Quote
mollyskeez Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 I liked bears park last year. i agree some of the rails could be set up low but only like 1or 2 because once you learn the trick or whatever then they would get boring. Quote
twist0pher Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 another thing is set up a nice spin bonk with maybe like tires or 55 gallon metal drums at the top to stall on. Quote
pretzelpimp Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 dont have every rail set up the same way(like it is now)...mellow down rails and up rails are where it's at....put more than 4 rails out..if there is enough snow to build a jump, then that means there is more than enough snow to put out several rails...understand what urban means(i saw the staircase and it looks like it has been re-done...problem is it's still isnt anywhere close to being urban..i havent seen a gap onto a staircase since '96)..push the snow up to the sides of the rails so that the front of the rail is sticking out of it...set up the the red rail that is usually at the bottom like this, on a small downslant and at least one of the 15 boxes bear has....turn 2 boxes into a mellow A frame rail, not nearly as steep as they had it before..bring out some tires, barrells, tubes, or whatever junk they can find and set it up...put like 2 rails at the bottom of the mountain for people to hike and mess around on..that's about all i have right now... Quote
Another Wall Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Posted December 18, 2007 turn 2 boxes into a mellow A frame rail, not nearly as steep as they had it before...put like 2 rails at the bottom of the mountain for people to hike and mess around on..that's about all i have right now... Two great ideas. I have been wanting a mellow a frame with a little gap for a while, and never even thought about the hiking idea. Both great calls. Quote
Boarder1x9 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 yea having stuff to hike is always good, sorta like the plaza at boulder i guess Quote
forumRW Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 i like the mellow a-frame idea too. i was also thinking about a decent quarter pipe...an actual snow one though so you can hit some big spins out of it...maybe put a gap in between two of them. also...getting idealistic here... a tow rope to service a specific line. maybe a jump line. how realistic would that be for the future?

LTDSNOWBOARDER Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 I understand everybody want urban setups and how there fun and all. But after somebody says it 18 times it doesnt have to be said anouther 18 more times. Quote
Rab8 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 flat down setup urban where you gotta gap up to the flat kinda like the handrail part of the ledge on the big stair case but set it up with the rail on the left so goofy riders can hit it frontside. Quote
lumilautailija Posted December 19, 2007 Report Posted December 19, 2007 I understand everybody want urban setups and how there fun and all. But after somebody says it 18 times it doesn't have to be said another 18 more times. and still they haven't done it, even though it is the beginning of the year Quote
