skeletor

SKeletor is the best one, but if you look at the side wall rides on it you would have to put those on the end part of the rail if you wanted to utilize to it's fullest potential, otherwise youre up against the wall as soon as you hit it. the other option is make it a flat up flat down and then the wall sides could stay where they are.

it looks like features that i see on the west coast with a FDF at the end of it, personally ? is the best and the half dome is the worst…..i mean, half domes really aren't that much fun to ride, you go up, spin around, and come down…..no fun
October 8th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
skeletor has already been made, the only difference is the fdf at the end of it….so i don't see why it should even be considered
October 8th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Plaza for sure!
October 8th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
All look like great funn, nice effot that u have put in it. A-frame has soo many options. cool.
And tool all the things have been done before,but not in tehe same way.

skeletor looks stupid!this is not for wakeboarding dumb ass
October 8th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
wow the plaza looks good. but come on that looks like any old stupid scafolding contest set up. NO MORE CONTEST SET UPS!!!the aids box is hella stupid along with that stupid dome thing! Or that stupid wakeboard jib thing with the skeleton!! LEAVE it for SPT its job security!!!
October 8th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
I vote the dome, I'm honestly bringing the design to the local park crew and maybe we can make it happen fosho
October 8th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
my vote goes to the AG plaza. it looks like a pretty cool feature
October 8th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
aids,dome and skeletor are the only real new ideas… well dome isnt all new, but really hard to find… skeletor sooks cool but i dont like the mix between a rainbow and a kink box . aids would be kinda nice too, and it would work as a noob trap aswell (beginners will end up trapped in the middle)
hope theres some more real creative stuff coming in the next weeks, and not just stairsets
October 8th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Wasnt the one of the main objectives to make something movable.. Half these thigs are contraptions that would take a week to move.. Dome all day..
October 8th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Wow your name speaks for itself. That Dome thing would be tighhht, you could do any trick on it that's possible. Flips, spins, MJ's, Gap it, combos..sheeeiit..and the cool part is that anyone can ride it. I guess just leave the creativity to the people really can JIB. AND its not all gaudy like some of these other designs. All the other designs are good ideas for sure, theyd tale forever to build and you couldn't ever move them
October 8th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
all of them look pritty tight, but none are very original. i mean they're all pritty much made of existing features. was hoping to see something really different, but ill give my vote to dome
October 8th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
That james moiser kid is just ripping off Fletcher Allen Hospital in Burlington, VT. Why don't you go hit it like a man.
October 8th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
when they said "movable" i think they mean they didnt want something 500 feet long. they basically just wanted it to be a realistic feature that could be put on a mountain.
therefore all of them are realistic and could be built & moved. whether it is in 1 piece or 5 pieces that need to finished being put together on the hill.
it is for a contest, so you need to think about the variety of tricks that could be done on the features. having a lot of options is good rather than just something that could get boring and redundant.

Gonna have to go with the Aids box… although the dome is pretty dope. Either one is easy to construct, and where i ride they have no budget for the park.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Damn we got some video game programmers designing features holy fuck! should of picked my Jib Piano i think it would of been the most fun feature ever!
October 10th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
upload all the submissions would like to see that Piano jib.
October 11th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
Yo everything looks pretty gnarly to me. For the Aids box though, doesn't it look like if you were sliding boardslide (or basically anything sideways) that after you go around the curve that you could get hung up real bad where the box like crosses over itself. Like if you were going fast and just sand-baggin off the side a little you could take a pretty good slam pretty easily. Or maybe im just going crazy and that wouldnt happen as much as im thinking haha idk… Super cool design though!
October 12th, 2009 at 10:05 am
well i guess that is why the box has rounded off edges i guess… im pretty sure, good riders will be able to throw down some sick tricks on it…
October 12th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I think they all suck
October 13th, 2009 at 1:45 am
Most these features can already be found at any legit park…stairs with a rail in the middle and a box to the left or right, really? Aids box is cool, but realistically in a contest you would basically have a pile of groms in the middle and it would be limited…Dome is crerative and a lot of tricks could be done on it for the contest aspect…jib, butters, stalls, combos for days….Domers for me…

dome is the best. lets make it happen
November 4th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
