Pretty damn big for dry slope i think, i think they should really consider doing this in the usa in big resorts as there must be a lot of board snowboarders and skiers in the summer willing to part cash

 

[TheStamos]

dude it would be a battle to hit that more than 5 times in a day in tahoe. there are soooooo many people who would be down it wouldnt be fun.

 

[00000000]

Falling would suck

 

[dom_uk]

true but the people who made it would get rich quick and realise the market and probably build more ramps and rails etc. in england there already slopes with 8 rail hits per run ,tend to be indoor though

 

[Beamer12]

hell yeah it would..that would be some major rug burn

 

[dom_uk]

i ride it every day, aslong as you cover up fully your fine, recomend tucking a tshirt down ur pants though to avoid a wedgy youl never forget

 

[MrScruff]

snowflex is alright, it's more like velcro

 

[sktrkdo7]

isnt that stuff like mad hard to turn on

 

[-benedetto]

looks fun but kind of scary for some reason

 

[Jwenz]

that jump is gigantic...would seemingly look like it hurts from falling on that not so soft stuff

 

[Fulton333]

you dont ride that stupid ramp every day dom, u ride the dumpness that is jolly ski rossendale....i may make the effort to find my gloves and come again...maybe.

 

[Lineskier-101]

I wish they made rail parks with that stuff, you wouldn't need that much speen.

 

[aussiejibber]

how do you stop....wouldnt u just catch and edge as soon as you turn?

 

[AwR]

intense shit

 

[coordy12]

ive hit those before. its trippy how the turning/stopping works. it also sucks big time to crash but other than that- you get to ski which is what matters

 

[SmoothLikeButter]

I wish we had that shit in PA our season is way to short

 

[TylerS]

thats so sick

 

[nickmcnutt]

i would be SO down with that.

 

[4frntSkier]

thats ill

 

[WIllW]

it would be cool if they had a day once a week(or month)where they cover the takeoff and landing with ice rink snow

 

[1440ski]

They should definatly start puting them up in the us but the demand would be huge.

 

[LostCarKeys]

I am not clear on the landing, same stuff just as a landing or foam pit deal...

 

[Blunttip360]

wow i now have a new summer project, now all i need to do is find a cleared out pipeline.

 

[hollygrove]

Falling would hell...

 

[r5tommy]

why dont people just scooter during the summer like everybody else...

 

[ejoy]

Falling does hurt on those. But it can improve your skiing.

 

[ski_cartel]

yea i find the pain of you skin being ripped off a good motivation to land the next trick.

But searously that looks siiick, france here i come

 

[iskilibertys]

It looks like an excessively long in-run...is that stuff slow or something?

 

[ejoy]

Yeah it's often slower than slush.

 

[dom_uk]

i ride on snowflex a lot, carving and stopping arent a problem, only difference between skiing on snow and this stuff cant really hold an edge as much so you cant tilt as much if you get what i mean, and the snowflex has about an inch of padding below it so it doesnt hurt thaat much

 

[BFINO13]

where can u buy thats stuff

 

[lowtech]

looks sick

 

[4frntSkier]

i wanna see more pics

itd prolly be sketch

 

[freeskibum82]

[freeskibum82]

found it.. good search bar u got there

 

[dom_uk]

not bad!! obviously not the same kicker but its still good

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

that stuff is intense...they should just make indoor resorts tho with snow like japan

 

[japie99]

I've been up runs like these and man if u fall ahh that shit burns.

 

[Petey.]

wat happens when u go off to one side by accident and totally ewat shit on the pavement

 

[-+Siver+-]

yeah that would suck

 

[eastAR5]

that looks mad scary i wont lie

 

[STAUSS]

thats cool... it would be a pain tho to fall on, i would hit it tho

 

[yz_porlier]

where is that???

 

[r.w]

thats so dope

 

[spere]

that is huge

 

[dom_uk]

the video is from dry slopes all over the uk, theres about 20 but mainly stoke i think, not sure though and to those people who said itd hurt like hell falling on it, it really doesnt

 

[skiinscotland]

hahaha, shit i know some of thos guys. Thats my local hill, its in the capital of Scotland.

see, us brits can ski

 

[caro.dillon]

at least your get to ride

 

[dom_uk]

its fast if it has a good sprinkler system or if its raining, but if its sunny and all the sprinkler mist is evaperated it can be really sticky

 

[skiinscotland]

thats why most dry slopes use water jets under the mats to make it faster, or be realy stupid and ride it inthe rain, its like riding ice.

 

[dom_uk]

its fun riding in the ice skiingscotland! ok its very fast and impossible to turn with out skidding but you can get big air whilst you laugh at beginner snowboarders struggle to stop skidding on there arses down the whole slope
