[Grassi21]

epic fail


;-) :lol:

 

[gmcunni]

can we close the poll by 10/30? my season pass purchase decision is contingent on the results.

WTF - ur crew makes snow and does rail jams in the summer, u can't handle THIS?.
i don't know shit about maintaing a bump run, f*ck, i can barely ski one but temptor can easily handle 3 lines. why couldn't one of the side lines have a small kicker 3/4 way down where there is still some pitch. jeez, set it up, if no one uses it after a few weeks take it down. Brian will help.
only if i can vote multiple times.

min. 1:47 shows us why i wouldnt want to put jumps closer to the edges...

Brian is obviously the official tester... that should never be question

the summer things are a termendous amount of work... but there are no other options to get the skiing itch out of our system in september october and november... options that involve snow cats and snow guns...

i voted yes

as any true bumper would! only washed up has-been old dudes with bad knees would vote NO on something so kewl as a kicker in the bumps @ might sundown.

pffft, that was an equipment malfunction. he nailed the 3 and if the binding didn't pop he'd have been fine.

or put the kicker in the middle lane with the "lame" lanes on the outside. that is ok with me and B.

woah... heat in a sundown thread... wierd...

it was brought up once already... maintaining a feature with out a snow cat.... in southern new england... on a trail that is already pretty short (where the good bumps are) and .... right next to a trail that has small and medium jumps on it that are maintained consistantly through out the day....

kind of talks me out of building temptor bump jumps.... Gunny bump jumps i fully am behind... but temptor? i really feel as though it kills the rythem of a short section that is steep enough to be called good.

how about an informal (possibly useless) poll on this... consistant bumps down the last steep? or bump jumps with mogul skier designed pop and landing?

You know us, Jarrod, blowing off a precious bump run to practice air on Stinger just ain't gonna happen. With that said, I still don't support kickers on Temptor which as you said is short enough as it is. I understand why some people want them though.

I'm going to guess they are going to be too rough to hit more often than not, especially mid-winter, and if the landings aren't maintained. I spent 20 minute once breaking up a landing so we could practice and I'm not interested in doing that again. Just not worth it IMO. A few days before the comp? Sure, stick one in there. I would support tables on the flats though and they would be easy to maintain with a cat on the bottom section.

And I'll say this - if Sundown does go with the majority on this one, I better see more than just absorbing the kicker or some lame ass dumper air during the comps out of those that voted YES here - a 2 O' Clock Twister, a Nossack, or a Laffy at a minimum, please...

 

[gmcunni]

i've marked up Jarrod's picture to show the optimal solution.

obviously temptor can hold 3 lines, put a kicker in the middle

line 1 + 2 for those who don't feel they need/like/want a kicker
line 3 for the rest of us.

when u move the kickers make sure you take the one from the left side (of picture), the one on the right wasn't good last year, it made me fall.

That would be the purpose of having them there to practice on. A monster dumper air at the very least.

I can see the point about the kickers being difficult to maintain in the middle of the bump fields. If that's the case then I would settle for a table top at the bottom of the run. If I have to.

I think it would be better with one kicker on the side, where the right one was last year, but I'll be happy either way. I'll be happy to spend a little time maintaining/testing the kickers...

DO NOT SETTLE!

Do you store it in the same place as the bumps?

I was wondering why I have a killer headache today, now I know why :dunce:

I obviously need the kicker to practice my crashes. Actually I am going to be on the DL all season Having some rods and screws installed in my back next month so I can take a few more crashes like that.

I will run the camera at bump or bust if you want :-(

Jay - that sucks. You just can't catch a break. Looking forward to an epic comeback in 2010-11...
