she's gone

nice looking kicker!

Wrong again Robholio, ONT doesn't have any rocky downhills, what you are referring to is just plain "upper borderline". it's not on the map. ONT was the first built up freeride trail in Post Canyon, Douglas and I built it about 9 years ago.

little off track there, but what I was trying to get to is that we built the left side thinking we were still building the right side as smaller, more trickable kickers. We didn't know that we he wanted to change plans and build the wedges until we were finishing the left side, which was also before he even brought it up at a forestry meeting vore approval.. so anyway, we kind of built the left side as novelty hucks, not as our only jumps. He just showed up at night with those ugly-ass, pre-built wedges and kind of changed the whole plan though..

Group dynamic I guess, I think the gaps were too big originally, mainly the 2nd one, I always wanted them closer to where they are right now. Gary has helped me build them and he really wanted to go huge at the time... they still need work and will always be changing I'm sure.
My proposed and accepted construction plan was to have both a big kicker line and a smaller, graduated set on the right side. Instead, Douglas decided he wanted to build wedges. So the spacing and size of the landings were set-up for the original plan, and he built these overly long and tall wedge take-offs with too much gap (and not enough pop) but left the landings short and steep, apparently unable to visualize the flat trajectory that his large wooden praying mantis was capable of inflicting. Really couldn't be set-up much worse in my opinion. large wedges just don't belong in jump parks, they're more suited for boner take-offs on fall line stuff when you can't react to a curved take-off they way you want to or you just want to keep it fast and low. I can't stand those wedges

that looks like a huge resi-landing..
