what kind of park setup are we looking at here? jump lines? how big are the jumps gonna be? what rails?

 

the expert side will be set up single barrel down rail, table top with raised lip, down flat down,cheese wedge, long flat rail, finish with the c bowl. all expert rails will be gapped

 

novice - flat or down box, table top, x box, cheese wedge, long flat box, finish with c bowl. all novice rails will be ride on.

 

I am going to possible subsitute a few things on the expert side if possible. (stair case, battleship, 29 ft rainbow)

 

the course is not set in stone, things are subject to change based on the flow of the course. I will know a little more about the jump sizes on thursday. We are currently making more snow on the trail for the jumps.

To have a chance in this thing, do you have to do like huge 9's or anything big like that?

it's a slopestyle contest not a big air contest. Sure you'll probable score better on that feature but that alone isn't going to determine your placing in the contest.

 

O yea and also are the jumps on the novice side going to be smaller than the expert side?

yes

you can use any of the features just remember that you are scored on technical difficulty.

 

Ok thanks alot for the answers, and also, how many runs does each person get?

The contest is going to be in Jam format, if you are happy with your first run stick with it. If not you can get as many runs as possible during the time frame of your age group.

flat copings, the ride ons will have pop to them as well as the gapped rails. Our park crew will be working the event and keeping things in good shape. I wouldn't count on just three girls competing. The day of the contest should have a pretty decent walk up.

If i take my first run down the novice side, can i come back up and take a run on the expert side? Also is there goin to be time to practice before it starts? And is there a guess when this will be over?

Haha you sure do have alot of questions. Yes you can go down any side you want whenever. You can even switch sides midway though your run. Im sure there is going to be practice. And It will be over whenever its over.

Mike, I don't think the lips need to be poppy at all. They just need to be really smooth at a normal angle. Riding the park all last week all the lips were really poppy and they threw you off the lips weird. Same with the jumps, lips were way too poppy. Im sure that now Mike and Trent are in everything will be better.

It was the lips. Their shaped like quarter pipes. I died on the last jump last night and got a nice bruise. If your not ready to get popped when your spinning, they it will throw you way off and you will just fall hard. The shape of the lips should be changed by tomorrow since the groomers from Planet will be in to fix up the park and what not.

hey nick, I just noticed that I am in your picture in your signature. it looks like i have video of you for sure.
Ha ya well its not looking like I need it. I still haven't filmed, or gotten my heads on my camera cleaned. I gotta try to go pick up a head cleaner soon so I can get some footage to make a descent promo this year.

Thanks Nick! You know how I am... I'm just learning spins in the park, so i'm not anywhere near smart with this shit yet...
