[Tyler]

Last i heard he was goin to the hospital!!

really last i heard the ambulance was giving him a quick lift home

[petter369]

the pipe is looking really good! looking at the webcams, they cut the pipe last night and it looks like the pipe will be open soon...they still have some snowguns in the pipe, although it is finally begining to look like a pipe

[Blong131]

nahh i didnt catch the double, mad props to him for tryin tho...is he doin okay today? i saw the paramedics, but didnt actually see the flip

[Tyler]

just got back...tubing was closed due to the slopestyle...everything else was nice. They put a barrel on top of the "nipple", however it kept getting knocked over and Park Crew had to close it. fun night though. black bear jumps were a lot of fun

[nick]

yeahhhhhhhh they finally put a barrel bonk out like ive been saying all year, it was sooo fun when i was doing it (sorry park crew i didnt know it was closed, somebody i guess knocked down the stick) talked to the park crew guy and he said it would be back up around the mid week, i cant wait, i love tha stuff, and it makes the park so fun, also the picninc table being set up so you can go up and stall and come back down thats another reallllyyy fun thing, awesome job park crew keep up the good work!!!!!

is it possible 2 even hit the rainbow rail, it looks like a little jump going into the rail.

[train36]

I wish they would have a better setup onto the rainbow rail, the way it is set now you can really only hit it coming from the from the left . It would be nice if they would make the transition onto it a little wider so you can hit it from both the left and right.

the barrel bonk wasn't set up tonight

[Tyler]

conditions were pretty good. Tubing jumpline is sick as always. On the second hit on tubing they pulled out the up flat rail and added another jump.

[snowboarddude]

[supertrooper12]

i thought mark said it would probobly be open last week, but it seems as if no one is really concerned about it ne more so its cool. ill just ride the park

[Tyler]

wow today was amazing, best conditions all year. soo much fun. least crowded i've ever seen a midwinter saturday. they got rid of the step down boxes, there is nothing there, maybe tomorrow. The nipple is alot taller. Everything else is the same. Great day. Great job park crew.

 

Oh one negative, the run up to the rainbow is terrible. That needs to be fixed asap.

[jeenyussb]

They took the step down boxes away because they are using them for a rail jam at this parking lot i think.

[Tyler]

i know thats why they pulled the verizon rail out of the tubing park, for the buckman's rail jam

[gerhard]

idk if its sponsered by buckmans or not but its taking place at amatuer athlete in bethlehem

[Tyler]

amateur athlete railjam in the 2nd of a 3 part series. run by buckman's, sponsored by oakley, snow from camelback, rails/boxes from BC.

[gerhard]

alright i gotcha thanks brothaman

[Tyler]

conditions were pretty good today, the snow was fairly soft and powdery. They finally fixed the run up on the rainbow. I wouldnt mind seeing BC get rid of the step up and the spine and putting in some tables and a HIP. Hopefully the barrel bonk is back up by tuesday.

[k2rider2690]

idk how the rainbow was set up today but yesterday was terrible. it was set up so you would have to gap to like the down of the rainbow part. i mean thas all fun and stuff but i would much rather see the jump be the same pitch as the rainbow and go right up to it with a little gap. thats def alot more fun to session, otherwise everything was set up really nice as usual. one suggestion i have would be to take the big flat down and move it more towards the tubing side so that you could come onto it straight but also that that you can just go straight and just hit the first jump. i just think it would be nicer if you didnt have to turn to get onto it espicialy when your gapping the flat. otherwise the park is sick!

The jumps in the main park were sooo nice today in the morning. I got up there at open and i had a couple runs by myself. it was quite nice. And also i rode a like an 8 yr old board. niceeeee

[twist0pher]

Very nice day overall. From about 3 till when I left around 5 there was alot of ice coming up on the run up to most of the rails. The only thing is BC really has to do something to take care of all the people going into the terrain park at deff. dont belong there. I saw a kid in the tubing line almost hit a guys head about 2-3 inches away. I could have seen that not ending up good. But good job park crew nice work with everything.
