NPC behavior in terrain parks

[broto]

Team of 20 young racers waiting next to the feature before the only jump in the park as their coach waits on the knuckle to watch the daffy train, like it’s a fucking field trip. One of them will certainly drop in much slower than you just before you come off the feature and head towards the jump.

Racers are definitely bots. They spawn in massive groups and all look the same

 

[johnoble]

The NPC’s on hill often have a malfunction where they’ll case a jump and take no fall damage, making them think it’s okay to do it every run.

Managed to break my programming on that one

 

[jompcock]

The academy kids talking about all the dubs they did in their sick airbag edit before doing a t-set 5.

Cope

 

[skiP.E.I.]

The programming is geared for maximum randomness on PEI. Some days there is a train of middle eastern guys in jeans and no gloves having a loud conversation in the middle of the main run while trying to ski on rentals with their boots unbuckled. Sometimes it's a group of pre-teen racers penguin sliding down the transition of the biggest jump with all of their skis left on the deck.

Other times it's a rogue toddler doing little kid turns through the whole park.

The most consistent are the boomer bachelors on straight skis doing the smallest turns possible down the middle of the park.

One year there was a group of tweens who always pressured the neurodivergent one in their group into sing lewd songs at top volume.

 

[skiP.E.I.]

preteens all hiking the same tiny tube that is so sticky I can barely straight slide it consistently, yet they are trying to learn tech tricks on it

Sticky rails great for speed regulation when doing switch ups. Huge shouts to those kids though lol.

 

[weastcoat]

My resort is “upsidedown” so every visitor has to drive up a 1500 vert road to get here. Speed limit is 45 and people have legit gone 10 up it. And of course. Florida plates

This is why we suicide pass people here in PA. Very common thing.

 

[Bijorno]

High speed lift goes to the top of the hill. About 60 feet down slope is park entrance. Everyone and their brother side slips that entire area turning it into actual ice. Probably the highest trafficked part of the hill to boot.

That at snoqualmie above the boneyard?

My record from the bottom to top is 5 cars passed

dude I really don't understand that, any remotely sticky rail throws me way off balance, and I know I thing or two about sticky rails I learned to ski park at wentworth lmao

 

[PissWizard69]

Timmy is from Texas and his dad is definitely wearing jeans

Timmy’s dad also picks fights with the park rats for skiing “recklessly”

I carry around gel deodorant usually at Hyland, it works pretty well to temp lube a rail. Anyone use pam?? does it get fucked when its cold asf?

so far I have only witnessed the middle eastern jerries in atlantic canada and man they are something else. I hope they get stoked on skiing cause there are some crazy mountains in the middle east and it would be dope to see skiing expand there.

Oooooo he’s risky ??????‍??‍???

I treat 711 like the autobahn when it’s dry and no ones on it.

Hear me out... sunscreen... it works v good

spray or cream

I used to do this until one dude in an altima sped up MID PASS to block me and I almost collided head-on with a f-250 dually

 

[Whackson]

spray or cream

cream. cheap shit works just like others. honestly anything thats super oily will work as temp lube

 

[Whackson]

spray or cream

Spray also works

 

[mountaindewgirl]

They ask, "can you kick flip that thing?" Within 0.00000001 seconds of me pulling up to the top of the park. Every time...

 

[Megamind]

People coming off the rope tow early to hit the rail you are 10 ft away from and rapidly approaching.

 

[PissWizard69]

And County Line Road turns into a drag strip

 

[CalumSKI]

People who yell “dropping” when they aren’t getting filmed and there is a clear line up for the feature

 

[weastcoat]

Ye this is why I only do it on straight roads and when they’re going real slow, it’s not worth doing it if they’re going like 40 on a windy ish backroad.

 

[weastcoat]

He knows too much

 

[betz]

I've got blizzaks on my wagon so sometimes I feel like a god passing the other Bay area folk. But when it is icy out and even when Hwy 50 splits into two lanes, it's a windy section and I'll try and pass them...the back end steps out a lil I'm like oooooook maybe not lmao.

Pam works good for like 39 minutes and then the rail gets stickier and it comes of in like a brown sludge when they clean the rails

I tell the kids, not to grease the rails! ;-) If they get caught, they get in deep "S".

 

[macaroniguy]

Haha the guy’s name is Ben Orton. Started skiing with that a couple years ago everywhere.

At timberline a few springs back there was this guy we called gandalf who skied around with a giant single pole like a wizard staff and would do pole plant 5s with it

 

[SNOW_WHITING]

Consists of either snowboarders having a picnic on the landings, or x games bound 8 year olds, no in between

 

[TrickyDick470]

People who yell “dropping” when they aren’t getting filmed and there is a clear line up for the feature

I dislike this too but I also hate when there is a group of people waiting for a feature but half of those people aren't planning on dropping any time soon... but I guess I just ask people instead of snaking them.

Flow It, Don't Bro It!

If folks just standing there...........I'm gonna' flow right by.

It's not 'snaking', it's flowing.

I guess most of the time when I've been learning rail tricks I didn't have edges underfoot, which helps with the stickiness. Also probably hits different when you're a 90 lb kid

”I used to be a park rat like you, until I took a handrail to the knee”

Hit a sidebooter 1000ft before a slow zone:

STOP RIGHT THERE YOU CRIMINAL SCUM

 

[DrZoidberg]

Ours are just all snowboarders from NYC who got into it because it's cool, and basically behave like the cars driving around in GTA Vice city. They mostly just follow their route and ignore that you're even there, but occasionally will react if you do something to them.

 

[Bellinghomie]

The teenager on the lift who thinks he is good at skiing yells “do a triple backflip mute moto grab switch double 50 50 900 triple double triple Japan”

[AndrewGravesSV]

I dont think anyone has mentioned the old guy wearing sunglasses and a helmet you tells you the conditions aren't what they once were

 

[Denseclouds]

When your zooted hopping on the chair (no lift line) just trying to take some solo soul laps and play some tunes, and a touristy old man asks "mind if I ride with?" then proceeds to ask you every small talk question known to man and then complain about how shit the conditions are that day.

I can't get away with that stuff, because every patroller knows who I am.

If they are new, they get shown my dossier!

If I "F" up, and the reporting party says, "I don't know, all I know is he was wearing a vintage onesie"..........I'm screwed!

Ha ha! That was funny! Thank God we have no Yellow Coats at Bachelor!

 

[shinbangclan]

I think the backpack-speaker-snowboarder character model has the exact same pathing and speed every run... They must have spent so much on licensing Dababy's top 5 hits for his JBL speaker that they couldn't afford to give the NPC any depth. I don't even think he has dialogue. Sometimes he spawns with a chrome ruroc though.

This shit happened to my homie at copper, fat dude in a camo carhartt tried fighting him cause he skied within a couple feet of his methed out wife. Me and another homie dipped into the trees and by the time we got there patrol had three people holding the dude back

 

[MattAndCo]

Small NPCs often spawn under you while dismounting a rail.
