Alpine Request

[thatoneguyattyrol]

Can we get the flat down flat box set up as a true flat up flat box? Its best on somewhat flat terrain, I think so many more combos can be pulled than on a fdf.

Mike, We'll try our best to set that up for you as soon as we get some snow to make a decent mound. Kangaroo is so steep that pretty much everything out there is a down feature.

I'm not sure if the kids realize that Kangaroo is probably the worst park run. With no break overs and super steep pitch, the run always dictates the setups. Once we move our park, our rail set-ups wil be ten times better.

I also got the word that the flat boxes are sticky. We will try a few things to fix it. We are going to try to change it up as soon as we get some freezing temps, so please be patient.

I totally agree about the flat up flat. yo nohajs, when do you think the park will move to roundhouse? christmas maybe?

 

[nohajs]

Well, we hoped to move right after the holidays. The snow is not cooperating. As soon as the mountain is open(scott,summit,hot wheels,subway),then we can make snow on red-green for park.

Do you think that you will still build a jump on nicks in the spring?

Any word on a pipe?

Thanks Jonahs you rock, the flat up flat box is so fun for bs sw ups.

 

[bret]

please don't change it, it's so fun right now!  you can do a lot of tricks on it with this setup, and do disasters too which is pretty sweet.

 

[thatoneguyattyrol]

Yea but its always set up as a fdf, have you ever hit a flat up flat box?

A lot more combo-able.

 

[bubonic_plague]

i like the park where it is. dont move it some where else on the mountain

 

[jibtastic]

i really need to get some fucking riding in.

 

[nohajs]

We might keep the biggest jumps on Nick's if the snow does not fall soon, but we're hoping to put the big jump on the red green breakover. It has the longest and best pitch for a big jump. If it goes as planned the landing could be 150'-200' long. That's 3-4 times as long as the old nicks line.

The pipe is another story. Again, the snow will dictate everything.

oh snap, i may man up this year.

 

[BoomBotix]

They are definetly right about the pitch. It's so stupid on kangaroo when you have to speed check like crazy after every feature. I think the bottom or roundhouse will be a sweet place to have jibs while the upper parts provide ample area for larger hits and some creative features.

 

[thatoneguyattyrol]

yep, last year i only hit the bottom two jumps on roo because overshooting was too easy.

roo however, is perfect pitch for a pipe isnt it?

 

[bret]

guess it depends on what combos you're doing.  btw, right now it's a dfd, not fdf, so it's pretty fun.

I was checking that area out with friends yesterday and noticed that it looks pretty primo. It's going to be such a sick park run when it's all up and finished!
