I think it is pretty cool but The other ones are much better. You can do more things to them.

By the size of the rider though it does look huge. It doesnt look like a stunt taht would make the boneyard really fun and make you wanna go down it

I rate it a 2

that thing is going to be broken ALL the time i think, its jsut something that won't be able to handle all of the riding whistler will dish out on it.

i rate it a 2 as well

jsut doesnt seem like a stunt that suits the boneyard

Good english:P

I agree with you though. It isnt a stunt that would be good for the bone yard. Semi is still my first vote.( I think they would make a step up ontop of the semi):thepimp:

They need something that will stand out which people will wanna hit from all over. Not a swivel teeter totter that is already built lots of times.

The need to use dirt and wood, not garbage for stunts, final.

Thank you!

This is the first stunt that I would actually like to see out there in the park. A super-size well built cedar swivel teeter sounds killer. C'mon, if it was built all you guys would love to hit it.

Ya my comment was more toward the other stunts from before hand this swivel teater looks cool, it would be a good way to start off a huge line and link things up.

These stunts are all about show, it looks cooler jumping out of trailer or off of giant tires. They could have saved time and money just making a regular launch/drop instead of using a trailer or making another step up box instead of using tires.

Tractor trailers are a dime a dozen. They will use a decomissioned trailer and paint it up. From their point of view (marketing) it is a win / win. A giant billboard for the park, and a fun, unique stunt for the riders. It isn't every day you get to rip through a semi trailer and air out of it!

The tires for the other stunt will also be freebies. Tires aren't biodegradable and are all over the place. What better use than a jump!

yes.

A giant hip is what I want to hit.

I think they should make a jib park. Have one run with lots of cool step ups onto boxes and stuff. have dirt jumps. Step downs and a whole bunch of other stuff.

The only real thing that i like about the semi is that they could make a wallride on the side and a step up ontop and drop off it. I think it would be the most versitile thing yet. You could do so many differnt things on it rather then jsut a swivel teeter totter.

the swivel teetor needs to go in for sure - those things are ridiculously fun; especially if a really big, wide, slow moving one could be built, which is perfectly possible. I rode the slocan swiveler on eye of the madman in slocan just the other day, those things are fun. yurr.

Ya i think 2 sideby side tables would be sweet with transfer oppertunities. But that could get a little risk. It would stillbe cool though:thepimp:

i think its a really cool stunt but not for the boneyard, Unless its gona be able to have a train of people on it its goning to be slow, id see it fit for a trail like clown shoes.

Yeah, that's exactly what I Was thinking. Boneyard is all about going fast hitting jumps, wallrides, hips, launches, etc. at speed. Keep the slower more thechnical stunts on Clown Shoes. IMO.

Like Steve said I think it would be cool at the VERY start when u aren't ripping fast yet, and drop you into the high speed section

I definatly against this one. Its alright on a trail or somthing but if you have ever tried one they are pretty difficult to keep your balance on. alot of people are going to either fall or ditch thier bike and jump down which will slow things down alot and make it a high injury spot. The best one yet is the trailer.

i thought that the whole point of this stunt was to have it as the main thing standing out for the year and people will remember taht as being the really cool thing. If they are trying to do that then they should have the trailer because taht will be remembered

I agree with that. keep it on clown shoes. who built that trail anyway?

i HATE their ideas for stunts. sorry whistler guru's but you guys are missing the mark here. maybe someone should email tom pro these threads with the ideas in them so they can see what people are saying.

i would much rather see an honest slopestyle course setup rather than some thrown together one off stunts which they have proposed.

its been said before, so i guess i am just repeating:

- wallrides: curvedm straight, and semi circle
- GIANT HIP both ways
- dirt half pipe with walls, or at least a big dirt quarter to wall
-step ups and step downs
- jumps to boxes
-dirt jumps

etc.
