Big Sky Park 08-09

yeah we dont have jack shit down here.

and last time i talked to the park guys they were thinking rainbow in swifty. next to the true table
 
that might be kinda fun, although it would suck choosing between the two, because that little jump is fun to learn shit on and take to the bigger jumps.
 
sounds good..see you in few days, hopefully it will snow a lil down in bozeman so we can film a lil down there.
 
no the jump was not done today. it is geting bigger all the time. by looking at it it could be done by next weekend. it is getting really big.
 
jump at the bottom is still not done yet, today was a nice sunny day tho and Andrew Hathaway was up there killing it. good times had by all hope we get some more snow soon tho

 
which one was a hath? im sure i saw him.

and the jump is getting there they were pushing it all day
 
^ i've never seen any flat shifty 3's.. not a whole lot people do actual flat threes even.. that sounds fucking redic!
 
the only thing i can think of is because the soloman team was on the upper mountain... but that doesn't make much sense, does he ride for them? who knows? all i know is i creamed my pants watching every trick he threw down
 
haha which time? that rail is a killer. my back is all bruised and i can barely move from how sore i am. and i just found out i have a indoor soccer game tonight. oh joy
 
idk i just saw you like, straddle it switch. and then skis came off and it looked painful hahaha
 
Pushing snow all day today on the big jump. Whats up with the pipe, the east wall is all dirty, have they chopped it all the way down to the dirt?
 
it got super melted yesterday. it was basically a wall of slush. so alot got scraped/melted off. plus i was doing slashes down towards the bottom all afternoon yesterday, which definitely didnt help haha
 
In ambush (big park)

3 jumps. about a 25-30 footer, 30-35 ish footer? and 35-40 footer? the last ones landing is super long so you can take it deep. then a square down rail. then a looooooong round down rail. then a dfd rail. then the pipe. and then probably by next weekend another jump.

In swifty (the mini ish park)

Short square down rail. Flat Box. Choice of a super fun flat down box or another short down rail. A fun flat rail. Tiny little roller/jump. little bonk thing. a choice between a 5-10 foot little jump, or an up pvc rail. then a 10-15 foot table. Then another 10ish foot jump, or an up corrugated tube thing. Then a cbox curving left.

We also have a micro mini park with a low down rail, a flat box, an shitty wallride, and two little jumps.
 
its too bad the park crew doesnt expand those jumps. huge takeoffs and landings for the size of the second and third jump
 
yeah. it has to be no more than 45 from lip to knuckle. but they can build huge landings, so you can take it way deeper
 
i reallly doubt the jump will be 45 feet.. maybe 30-35.. but it does look like you can take it super deep.. is it even open yet? i saw on friday that the lip was built. it just wasnt open, but it was a pow day anyways so who gives a fuck..
 
dear park crew. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO THE SECOND HALF OF SWIFTY PARK!?!?!?!??!?!? put it back the way it was plz. kthxbie
 
what lift tower rail? nothing was in when i was there. they just had gotten rid of the bonk. and built a retardedly large table that you could not clear. and they fucked with the other table. that was my problem
 
the lift tower is set up right after that white cannon... before the red corregated pipe thing. it's completely ride on, laid flat on the ground -- didn't think it was too cool, but i agree, it's nice to see something new in there. as for the new jump that is in place of the bonk, i think that thing is money. you just gotta keep your speed up after the flat round rail and swoop around the gate. it's big enough to throw some shit on. i like it a lot. i learned some shit there, and then took it to the 2nd big jump... almost the same exact feeling, in my opinion
 
That lift tower rail is so smooth though. That's the first rail i've slipped out and fell backwards on in a while. It's also good for learning to spin on to.
 
it seems like itd be fun. i just wish either it was a couple feet shorter, or just a little easier to clear. hahahahhaha the first time i hit it i was soooo short lol. and the lift tower sounds fun. is it long?
 
today was sick the big jump was fast, but what the fuck was up with all the lil racer fucks in there all day long i wanted to kill some small children today and they were talking shit to us it was kinda funny ne body else have this happen all day long
 
any comps going on from the 18-21. ill be there skiing and i think it would be fun to throw it down a little. please let me know if you know of anything
 
Anyone know what they are gonna do to swifty park? They moved the first down rail to the other north side of the lift, and today they ripped out the flat box and down flat box below were the down rail used to be. Does anyone else think they should make a quater at the bottom of the park and put that lift pole rail coming out the top.
 
i talked to isaac the other day and he said they are changing swifty park completely, should be done by this weekend. that's all i know
 
word i hope its done by this weekend cuz my family is comin up, and my little bro is gonna wanna hit some mini jumps
 
/\ yea im curious how that chubby jump at the bottom is. it was getting finished while i was in town and i might swing back up in april. wanna get some hits on it.
 
^ ^^^ ^^ bottom jump is banger... lots of changes have happened. swifty park is completely redone, and they added a new rail (the one from the rail jam in bozeman) right after the 3 big jumps up top.
as far as hit's on the bottom jump go, its fucking sick, i love that thing.
if you haven't seen the "what happens when tim comes to town" edit of mcchesney, check it out. that would be the jump, it's fun as hell
