it was jonny atencio’s idea for the orange and the people at sunday river were the ones who told us that it was an insurance issue. we would of had to close the park to the public if we were going to hit the rail the way it was. they even sent someone over to see of the jump was touching the rail.
Actually the park staff wanted to open it up - at least the ones that were working with us for the camp.
It's not a lack of park maintenence because the rail was setup perfectly when we arrived in the morning. It was just someone, somewhere along the lines said they wouldn't open the rail with a jump like that. At least that's what we were told.
Either way it was lame that there was a perfect setup and they had to basically build a mogul kicker onto it. It was a waste of some good cat time and park building.
that flat down was sick and i saw the funniest thing on it ok ..... phil warren and ianick b were both trying really hard for prolly like an hour hour and a half to get the 270 on switch up 270 out and finally phill warren nailed it and so like everyone was all hyped up and congratulated him and while everyone was paying attention to him ianick nailed it perfect and i bet only like 5 people actually caught it
