Ranting to meadows

alrite i dont have alot of time so ima write this fast. first off, i appreciate that the park crew is supposedly doing their best and working hard, but let me get to the point, i understand that early in the season there may have been a problem w/ excessive snowfall so the parks couldn't be built up but this isn't the case anymore, every park set up now is small or at the maximum slightly intermediate, i see all your good rails, sitting off on the side of the lift not set up, hrm used to have the 60ft flat down.. that was pretty sick, but now all that hrm has is some short little picnic table. if it helps i can even name it off, how come your flat down rail, s rail, rollercoaster rail, battleship rail.. are all lying on the side of the run off of easyrider. furthermore is it really that hard to put a lip on that last roller in hrm and make it a stepup, these are all little things that could make the park alot nicer, i dont wanna say that the park crew's being lazy, but now that the weather's starting to get nice the park's should at least be changed around and fixed up nicer from weekend to weekend, otherwise i guess ima just wait till cascade superpark opens, it would have been nice for shooting star to have been built up, i can assure you that it would have gotten alot more attention then "forrest park" did, especially seeing as we already have the zoo and other beginner parks, so another one seems like a waste, enough with the rant, if things stay the same i'll pay the money for timbo nxt weekend to actually hit some decent rails. peacepls post what i took the time to write, i might not be raving over meadows, but let's call it constructive criticism...

another post on matt's blog, he didn't really reply to the last one about building shooting star, simply said that "park place" hrm was getting good reviews so that what we should be hitting

there is a little difference between the shitty 20ft hrm tables, and last years 40-45 footers on shooting star

 
It will truly surprise some people to hear me say this, but Fabianism is irrelevant here. Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, in order to solve the big problems with MiniMeDanny , Jr. we must first understand these problems, and to understand them, we must oppose evil wherever it rears its thrasonical head. The whole premise of his equivocations is false, and his arguments are specious at best.By and large, if one believes statements like, "The ideas of 'freedom' and 'sesquipedalianism' are Siamese twins," one is, in effect, supporting the most postmodernist segregationists I've ever seen. All I can tell you is what matters to me: If MiniMeDanny continues to scrap the notion of national sovereignty, I will undeniably be obliged to do something about him. And you know me: I myself never neglect my obligations.MiniMeDanny recently stated that "the truth", "the whole truth", and "nothing but the truth" are three different things. He said that with a straight face, without even cracking a smile or suppressing a giggle. He said it as if he meant it. That's scary because I want to unify our community. MiniMeDanny, in contrast, wants to drive divisive ideological wedges through it.I myself can't follow MiniMeDanny's pretzel logic. I do, however, know that it will not be easy to say "no" to his filthy tracts. Nevertheless, we must attempt to do exactly that for the overriding reason that MiniMeDanny insists that national-security interests can and should be sidestepped whenever his personal interests are at stake. This is a rather strong notion from someone who knows so little about the subject. My next point of order is that each rung on the ladder of antiheroism is a crisis of some kind. Each crisis supplies an excuse for MiniMeDanny to generate alienation and withdrawal. That is the standard process by which lecherous sideshow barkers create a Frankenstein's monster.The important point here is not that MiniMeDanny's modes of thought, when taken as a whole, are crafty. The vital matter is that when I was younger I wanted to hammer out solutions on the anvil of discourse. I still want to do that but now I realize that in order to convince us that free speech is wonderful as long as you're not bashing him and the lousy slumlords in his peuplade, MiniMeDanny often turns to the old propagandist trick of comparing results brought about by entirely dissimilar causes. Now let's have some fun and examine a few of his more ridiculous statements. First, MiniMeDanny said that once he has approved of something it can't possibly be footling. That's rather rude, isn't it? Later on, he claimed that he is a paragon of morality and wisdom. What this really means is that he wants to make today's oppressiveness look like grade-school work compared to what he has planned for the future.Aside from the fact that it is literally the case that I am tired of listening to MiniMeDanny's dishonest bilge, today, we might have let MiniMeDanny impose tremendous hardships on tens of thousands of decent, hard-working individuals. Tomorrow, we won't. Instead, we will do what needs to be done. His hatchet jobs are based on a denial of reality, on the substitution of a deliberately falsified picture of the world in place of reality. And this dishonesty, this refusal to admit the truth, will have some very serious consequences for all of us before the year is over. Still, if I were to compile a list of MiniMeDanny's forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion, it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one. Such a list would surely make every sane person who has passed the age of six realize that I frequently wish to tell MiniMeDanny that a substantial fraction of his buddies and -- if the polls are to be believed -- a large number of mudslinging, bestial mental defectives actually believe that the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible. But being a generally genteel person, however, I always bite my tongue.In spite of all MiniMeDanny has done, I must admit I really like the guy. No, just kidding. He formulates his nostrums in a precarious latticework between the duplicitous and the indecent, but that's really beside the point. He dances to the tune of censorious boosterism. Even more remarkable, he has compiled an impressive list of grievances against me. Not only are all of these grievances completely fictitious, but MiniMeDanny's reports are a logical absurdity, a series of deductions from a premise that has been denied. Speaking of absurdities, for all MiniMeDanny's bombast about freedom, liberty, and tolerance, he still wants to set up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carry out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts. Excuse me; that's not entirely correct. What I meant to say is that I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness MiniMeDanny is mongering. We need to do something good for others.Think about it. Sure, MiniMeDanny talks the talk but does he walk the walk? We already have our answer; as a respected journalist put it, "I don't care a brass farthing about what MiniMeDanny thinks of me". She probably could have added that the next time MiniMeDanny decides to take rights away from individuals on the basis of prejudice, myth, irrational belief, inaccurate information, and outright falsehood, he should think to himself, cui bono? -- who benefits?Maybe you, too, want to feed on the politics of resentment, alienation, frustration, anger, and fear, so let me warn you: MiniMeDanny keeps trying to deceive us into thinking that we should derive moral guidance from his glitzy, multi-culti, hip-hop, consumption-oriented prevarications. The purpose of this deception may be to paralyze needed efforts to reinforce what is best in people. Or maybe the purpose is to steal our birthrights. Oh what a tangled web MiniMeDanny weaves when first he practices to deceive.What I call salacious marauders do nothing but eat, smell bad, and reproduce while contributing little or nothing productive to society in return for their upkeep. That, in itself, will condemn us to live with the worst types of huffy, disreputable euphuists there are in a lustrum or two. It should be intuitively obvious even to the most casual observer that it's quite easy for MiniMeDanny to declaim my proposals. But when is he going to provide an alternative proposal of his own? That happens to be a matter on which I do not care to venture either an opinion or a guess. I do, however, feel that I should state that if you want to hide something from MiniMeDanny, you just have to put it in a book. It is a grave injustice for MiniMeDanny , Jr. to interfere with my efforts to enlighten the mind of Man and improve him as a rational, moral, and social being. That is why, come what may, we must study the problem and recommend corrective action.
 
it's pretty awesome to ski at a place with a great park crew (blackcomb) after skiing meadows for so many years. their park is always groomed, they have multiple lines of jumps 40 to 60+ feet, they have so many jibs, not just the tons of rails and boxes, but wall rides, tree jibs, stalls, everything. and it's all freshly groomed all the time. they have step overs, tables, and true step ups. now of course meadows doesn't have the same resources as whistler/blackcomb, but they could be doing a lot better. it's been that way for years though, i don't think it'll change.
 
what can i say. matt's a homie, hopefully he'll actually take my suggestions and the parks will be fixed up by next week

"Danny: This is a great post. It's well thought out and presented - it points out your concerns and offers solutions. I'll address it with our parks crew to see when we'll be deploying more of the rails and building some larger features. We're not that far away from moving up to Cascade Super Park but perhaps we can build up some of the other features until then."
 
that would be really nice if he actually did that. In the mean time Justin's right there are a ton fun natural jibs, and Cascade park can't be that far away.
 
My God, it sounds like its even worse than last year, I didn't think that was possible...

Is the pipe still good at least?
 
not last time i was there. they suck. fact. im leaving. im glad that i tore my ACL while still stuck in oregon, and not after i move. cuz this isnt to hard to miss out on. but yeah

j-love is right. the natural hits at meadows are unbeatable, outstanding tree jibs and cornas lines. meadows... not meadows park, but meadows is hellsa dope.
 
Meadows is rad. I hate all this negative bullshit about their park. If you guys really think that it's horrible then just stop buying passes...

By the way Timberline Spring passes are on sale now. March 3 through May 26 for 99 bucks. That's 85 days of riding for the cost of 2 day tix at meadows. I know it's hard to leave that place, its my preferd choice for shreding too but until you actually stop giving them your money they will never change. In summation buy a Timberline or Fusion pass and make Meadows a better place. Healthy competition is the only way to produce quality results... write that down.

Peace
 
hmm i didn't say that meadow's parks are horrible, almost the opposite, they have some great rails adn can do a great job with their park when they put the time into it, just look at what they do with cascade, i'm saying that it would be nice if meadows put a little more effort into their parks before cascade this spring.. meadows has the potential to do a great job, so why shouldn't they during the rest of the season
