Whats up in A51?

[FishSkier]

Anyone know whats going down with Keystone's A51 for the end of the season? I've heard a rumor Jacob Wester is going for a world record on the hip they're building. And some other crazy stuff is going up for filming I'm sure.

 

[johnnypsunami]

they are building some monstrous shit after the big jump line. I couldnt figure out what it was going to be though.

that hip is so big. I would love to see that shit go down.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

I heard through the grapevine that Jacob Wester is going for a world record.

It was also a thread in Ski Gabber a while ago, sounds like that's whats up.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Yeah, and Level 1 is going to have a shoot here within the next few weeks.

 

[Dustin.]

Nice, Jeff Loewe works with Level 1. I'll ask him.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

I haven't talked to Jeff in a while. They need to let him film some.

wellp, they turned the ting into a skatoboard-style halfpipe with a rail on top of one spine

 

[FishSkier]

well i just saw what they're doing today. looks pretty sick. two huge quarterpipes, the bigger one after the first and to the left a bit, rail on one and barrel on the other. some crazy stairset with a wall in the middle and a rail and box on either side. then a step-up to a whale tail tabletop to a huge step down that looks sketchy as hell. there was a snowboarder crew filming today and i didn't see one land the step-down cleanly, its like a 30 foot drop or more if you take speed into it.

worst part is the whole big line section is closed for the rest of the season! i want my park back!

 

[kthnxbai.]

yea seriously i was bummed when i got there today to see it closed and the medium set kinda sucked it was wayy more lippy than its been all season. whatever it was a gorgeous day and rails are always a good time.

 

[kthnxbai.]

sorry to dub post, but the top of A51 needs a damn water fountain!! i get so freakin thirsty after a few laps. It sucks having to take breaks to ski to the bottom every couple hours cause im thirsty. i cant be the only one with this problem, right?

 

[mackinnon]

the hip is for standard films

 

[Dustin.]

Great idea.

 

[mackinnon]

just take a long lap down go devil to mountain haus and get a cup of water from upstairs or at a water fountain there...its like 5 extra minutes haha

 

[kthnxbai.]

that usually what i do, but im just saying when i hit a good rhythm i dont wanna have to ski down just to get water. if we had a nice little fountain i could stop for mmmm maybe 30 seconds and then keep lapping.

 

[Snowgoner]

how bout a jibbable water fountain? hahahow dope would that be...

 

[Mr.LemonPie]

bring a water bottle...

 

[kthnxbai.]

that last two times i did they got taken!

 

[mackinnon]

ever heard the phrase "no bitchassness"? hahaha

 

[cashdebt]

ya so when you bend down to take a drink someone comes up and tail taps your head... I'd be down

 

[Yung_Gnarley]

a water fountain is like the best idea ever, but it'd probably get vandalized by fuckers and the pipes might get frozen too...?

 

[kthnxbai.]

yea pipes would prob be tough

 

[kthnxbai.]

good joke.

 

[Dustin.]

That will be hard to do in the Army.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Army?

 

[Dustin.]

Indeed.
