Well the leaves are changing, the temperatures are getting colder, and precipitation still comes in the form of rain. That can only mean one thing .... it's about time for a pre-season rail jam. If my math serves me correctly, OCTOBER 19 serves as the 5th annual Flying Penguin Jibfest. All afternoon, beginning around 12 p.m., we will have a feature set up outside the shop for both skiers and snowboarders, along with some music, grilling, 2009 products, and good times.

So what's in store for this year?

The 2008 Jibfest has been in the works since early summer, with emphasis being put on a better feature, and increased lap times for riders. This years feature will be an up-down box, approximately 8 inches wide. Based off of this:http://www.vimeo.com/371993 (I don't have a digi-camera, and I'm trying to load my camera pictures of our feature onto my computer).
Also, we plan on having a deeper deck up top to house many more riders to quicken the flow of traffic. The in run is also --planning-- on being double-wide, which will then split off to have one route hit the feature straight on, while another route will hit just the down part of the box (think the 2008 x-games 1st hit trap box kinda feel).

In the past, there has been predominantly more snowboard sponsors compared to little, if any, ski sponsors. This year Atomic will be sending shwag, and there's a good possibility the rep will be there to give stuff out also. We're also waiting to hear back on some more prospects also.

It's late, and I'm not sure if I have covered it all, so if there's any questions please ask. More than likely there will be more to follow----especially concerning the competition details.

Cordially,
The Penguin that flies.

its jank-factor has been up there in the past. However this year its been planned by some people who really wanna make this a pretty sweet event for fall. So hopefully I'd expect it to be a couple, or many, steps up from years past.

As stated right above, it is an asphalt parking lot. But we are going to try to put barriers to the asphalt the best we can. (i.e. a tarp or some form of protection from direct contact with the asphalt for the landing and such)
 
whammo bammo! he'd probably get your bindings adjusted in plenty of time before the jam if you need him to
 
Hey Everyone,

Tomorrow I'm gonna try to get some pictures of the setup and the shop to post up to give an idea of what we're gonna be dealing with sunday. Should be a good time, weather looks good, except it'll probably be about 20 degrees too warm for the snow's liking.
 
Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree?

Am I drinking milk from a saucer?

Do you see me eating mice?
