@trace when I worked there from 07/08 - 09/10 those where a couple good years where the park was "better" But could only do as much as I could with the limited time they gave me the couple nights a week I was out there to Groom, Build, Rebuild.
the rail doesn't even look that high. maybe it was designed to be a skate style rail and some kids just built those shitty lips quickly? I actually find some stuff like this pretty fun.. you just need to ollie, pop off them tails.
