ONE OBSTACLE...........UNLIMITED POSIBILITIES

Post by Hunter Welles »

The title says all. Nathan and I were out shoveling at swede today shaping our newest feature at the park. It is a table top quater pipe kicker c-rail rainbow rail hip spine and who knows what else all mixed into one. Works for all wind directions, some better than others, but heres some pics of it!

Nathan proving there are truly unlimited possibilities for this.....we tested jumping it with the snowmobile, snowboards, snowskates, and sure enough, shovels, and was fun for all of them!

Nice guys. I'm telling you the inverted ride is the way to go. Forget this gravity stuff, leave that to the clangity clangity resorts. I want to see one of you guys slash that beast and ride the underside of that rail. Or at least get your torso and head below your board.

And where on earth did you get all that snow? Must have been trucking it in from around the lake. Nice job.

Very nice. I was looking at that for a long time going, now why didn't they make something like that sooner? I'm not really much of a kite rider myself, but I could see it being something I might even try the corner of at some point. The only slight issue I could see with it is, if the snow on the main, wide surface get too packed down, the rail might stick up a bit, making it easy to hook an edge on it as you went up and over.
