stevePSSC Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 thats still sick.. like i was saying i didnt have high expectations for the new rails/boxes.. hopefully they do make the rails higher and better transitions Quote
LineSki Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Posted October 24, 2005 yeah thats a bummer, nine shitty set up rails. and as for the 40 ft, i count that as half a rail. Quote
Luke Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 You know it's not the nine new rails and everything but to be honest with you did you really think CB was gonna put in nine new rails? I'm still happy with the improvements they're making, we'll finally get to ollie onto the rails the right way instead of just riding on it and the C-box will be a nice new additioin. I think CB is definitelly taking the right turn here, and showing everyone that they care about their customers and are willing to listen to their advice. If they end up finishing all their other plans I was told about than trust me everyone will love the parks at CB. As for this year, I'm still happy. No one said everything would be changed in one season. The new owner is still getting used to his position so I'm suprised that even these changes are taking place. Quote

I agree, I am seeing some trends... The thing to do is to offer positive constructive critisism. Say what needs to improve then reasonably suggest how to improve and what benefits CB will get from those improvements. oh, it should be one idea at a time unless you are prepared to make a comprehensive business plan and presentation along with resources.

stevePSSC Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 good call.. haha its gonna be a fun winter.. and it seems that every mountain around here is realyl trying to push its park and make it better every year... so maybe i wont have to make hour trips out to creek anymore and waste a good half tank every trip Quote
Shadows Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 whats a rainbow-kicker box? and im guessing a c-bow box is just a c box? Quote
Stevo Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Rainbow to kicker. and a c-bow box is pretty much a c box, except it curves up just like a rainbow rail/box. Rainbow to kicker. and a c-bow box is pretty much a c box, except it curves up just like a rainbow rail/box. Shit, don't know how that happened, but you get the point Quote
Glenn Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 The 40 should be a center piece. Instead its beat to death and buried in the snow. What a waste. I didn't expect CB to wow me, but 2 new rails isn't that many. We'll see... Quote
DHarrisburg Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Why am I not suprised at this "revelation?" Quote

I didn't expect CB to wow me, but 2 new rails isn't that many. We'll see... i agree.. they took what could of been a decent rail.. and made it just garbage.. its what 5 inches off the snow? Quote
DHarrisburg Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 i agree.. they took what could of been a decent rail.. and made it just garbage.. its what 5 inches off the snow? Even if the 40 foot rail was 3 feet off the snow it'd still suck. It's wavy as all hell. Quote
Stevo Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Even if the 40 foot rail was 3 feet off the snow it'd still suck. It's wavy as all hell. Ive always hated that rail Quote
stevePSSC Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 good call.. but its probably something that camelback did to screw it up.. i bet at one point in time it was straight hahaha Quote
The_Public_Enemy Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Yeah, I know a skier, Cody, who messed up his knee BAD on that rail. He slid out on a 270 on, and when his ski hit the ground, his edge caught and forced his knee under the rail. For some reason, there was a long ass bolt sticking out and when his knee hit it, it went through his knee, under his kneecap, and out the other side It tore a bunch of ligaments. Needless to say, it was a long time until he could ski again, all thanks to that stupid 40 footer. Quote

stevePSSC Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 yeah hahaha cody wolfe.. i remember when that happened he came into school on crutches and all bandaged up.. it was pretty bad Quote
riderossi Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 With those waves they could advertise as having a rollercoaster rail...but personally, coming from montage's rails, i found boardsliding the waves to be quite fun. Quote

Luke Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Here they are http://www.skicamelback.com/?nav=content_dailypics Quote
LineSki Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Posted November 1, 2005 I guess its cool...im just mad because they have nine rails total, they lied to me Quote
Luke Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 I know. I'm not sure where they would fit 9 new rails on top of the current 7. I don't think there's enough room to put that many rails in with the parks being set up the way they are now. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) I know. I'm not sure where they would fit 9 new rails on top of the current 7. I don't think there's enough room to put that many rails in with the parks being set up the way they are now. Ideally they'd either make a jib park or just trash the old rails and completely replace them with decent ones. Edit: What a surprise. The new boxes look like shit Edited November 1, 2005 by DHarrisburg Quote
steezy Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 yeah Idk much about about boxes but the c box looks like fun.. i bet I could do that Quote
Gurp Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 Come on now.... that isnt cool (signature^) Quote
poop Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 im fucking happy with what i see. What more did you expect? Quote
