NiftySHIFTY Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Sweet Deal...any pics of the flat-down? Quote
meggles Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 ahhhh so sick..soooo sick im so stoked this is awesome thanks guys Quote
Schif Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Wow, thats a lot of rails/boxes. I can't wait til the snow hits. Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 you should see how many rails and boxes are laying off to the side. Hopefully some of those will go back up. Quote
Gurp Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 that shits sick. u keep on weldin and well keep on jibbin Quote
meggles Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) are you guys still trying to open black friday? Edited November 10, 2006 by megan Quote
Schif Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 you should see how many rails and boxes are laying off to the side. Hopefully some of those will go back up. So they've got 19 new jibs, plus a few more they're working on plus what they had last year. Don't forget about those jump things too. Quote
method9455 Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 nothing curved yet. I bet we'll see a c box and/or c-rail, a wallride, a flat rail or two more, and a down flat down rail or box. I'm not sure what else but I kind of want a rainbow rail although I don't think these guys like rainbow rails much because there weren't any at mountain creek in the last few years. I'm just stoked the upslope box and the 40 foot down rail are there, those were the smoothest jibs at MC and I knew that BB would get them too. And don't worry, these guys can make some nice ass jumps. I'm pissed I didn't save my pictures from independance pass last year, but the 2 hip/jump on the right side flowing into the big hip on the left side was so smooth. Quote
Shadows Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 im kinda dissapointed that the rails/boxes look the same (color wise) as MC Quote

ParkLogic Posted November 11, 2006 Author Report Posted November 11, 2006 shawn grooms too, correct? Correct. I [shawn] have been building parks [as an operator] for 7 years and Julian for 6. With the elite snowmaking system here at JFBB and better park trail acreage (wider) we are stoked to have the opportunity to finally let loose! In the coming weeks we'll be adding heavily to our jib variety including some of the features listed above and much more... have a great weekend! Quote
snorovr Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 Stuff looks great guys! Keep up the good work. Givin other parks something to compete against! Quote
stevePSSC Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 i cant stress it enough how stoked and happy i am to be a passholder at jfbb!!!! Quote
Jar3d Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 that 40ft street rail is gonna be nastttyyy Quote
method9455 Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 Not to put words in your mouth but was the seemingly shitty snowmaking at Mountain Creek a factor for you leaving? Because last year for a while they built up snow for a step down on great northern where there is always a stepdown, but after the warm spell they pushed it out for coverage instead and put 2 rails. And the jump on kyhber was like half made but never materialized either, and then flying fox basically never even opened. Quote

Here's a sneak peak of Big Boulder's new 40foot flat rail nearing completion. We're working overtime these days and we're averaging a new jib from 'concept to paint' every 1.5 days! Quote
meggles Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 soo sick guys.. not gonna lie though..i miss the rails being orange Quote
jordan Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 will the old rails still be in use at all? Quote
method9455 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 as long as they're not light gray, i hate that. the really dark colors and the bright colors work best at night for contrast. the like light gray color didn't show up on film well either. Quote
Who Wants To Shred? Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 I doubt anyone here is as pumped as I am. I have a feeling JF/BB is going to be my new home. I'm going to sleep there. Quote
Schif Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 I can definately say that JFBB will be getting more than the once a year out of me now. But I really don't think I want to sleep there haha. Quote
Glenn Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 We're working overtime these days and we're averaging a new jib from 'concept to paint' every 1.5 days! Mind walking us through that process? I'm not looking for you to give up your signature techniques, just the basic run through of the process. Quote
Papasteeze Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 will the old rails still be in use at all? I am starting a fund raiser selling pins, barley mill discount cards, candy bars to buy all the extra rails to help CB. Mind walking us through that process? I'm not looking for you to give up your signature techniques, just the basic run through of the process. measure, cut, weld, grind, paint. Quote
