Tyson I'll trade you my knee for your elbow? I over-extended it last weekend at Milly. MRI next Tuesday, crossing my fingers. Landed
on some ice off a small jump and one knee bent normal, the other
snapped back. :cry:

Was out at the park today, really windy, was powered on a B4 and having a really good time! We set up the small flat box that we had low in the ground before completely different, heres how it sits now.
Image
The new set up for this box is sweet, offers a ton of different ways you can hit it. I was using the jump to go onto the rail, so was Matt K and Nathan. We also carved some quater pipe walls into it, so you can used the top box as a stall, or just use it as a kicker. My favorite thing so far is the up-flat-rail, I was sessioning that till the sun went down, then Nathan parked his car with his brights on so I could still hit it!

Heres some pics from last year of stuff we havnet set up, but is coming.

Image
Up-Flat-Down Box, this year its going to be a little different, but mostly the same set up. Its a pretty easy 18" wide box, great one for begginers to start getting the feel for rail riding.

Image

32' up flat rail, we have the up in, the flat will be coming soon, and who knows, maybe even a down?

Image

12'X4' flat box. Super easy box to learn on, and get the feel for your first time on a box. It is also a ton of fun for the more advanced rail riders as well.

We are also going to get some kickers up soon, but with the lack of snow right now its making it a little more difficult...we dont want to scrap away the small base we have to bear ice. Maybe even some more rails for this year as well, stay tuned and come out check it out, maybe give some of the boxes a shot!
