Super Park, day 2 and 3



Everyone woke up after day one super sore, tired and sunburnt. Andreas's back was sore from knuckling the beast, Tim's heal was hurting from overshooting a jump, Kyle Miller was still recovering from a ankle sprain and Peter found out he needed surgery on his shoulder from a previous fall. So broken and battered we headed to the mountain with high hopes for less wind and new features to hit. The wind actually got worse on day two and it was more of a fun relaxing day. 
Around 4 there was roomers that the giant hip was going to open up. Everyone commuted over and the session got under way. The 20 foot mark was hit by a few and Nate Farrell reminded everyone that he is a tranny master sending it over the gatorade banner. 
Day three saw the wind die down and after a mellow day two, the guys where excited to get after it. Big Bear built a pretty unique feature. It was a giant table that had a bowl enclosed in it. Hip on the right side, that you could hit right like a normal hip or left witch put you into the bowl. There were two entrances into the bowl on either side of the lip that if hit sent you over the whole feature. This thing was only limited to the imagination. Nate Farrell and Greg Bokencamp where coming into the bowl from opposite sides, wiping around the bowl and slapping hi fives. Tim was airing into the bowl, shooting across and hand planting the other side. Andreas and Kyle where playing on the outside hip. Everyone was having a blast with this thing. 
There was a lot of creative stuff pushed up at Super Park 13. One of the more popular features was a 40 foot gap through a few trees. Drift right or left and you are coming face to face with a tree. Come up short and you are stacking into a wall of snow boulders. Miller threw some methods and backside 180s through the gap. Humphreys was doing some frontside 180s and Taylor got a pretty frontside 360 taping the top of a tree halfway through his rotation. 
Day three finished off with another session on the big hip. Andreas, Nate, Tim and Miller all got in on the action each hitting the 15 foot mark. 
Today is the last day of Super Park but we had to depart early to get Andreas to the airport. Hats off to Snowbaorder, Mammoth, Big Bear and Loon for putting on one of the best Super Parks ever!
