Current boneyard conditions

[Identity]

Whats going on right now in there? Is the bikerx done? In the webcam it looks like theyve almost built up the marzocchi box, but it pointed sideways towards the riad gap area. If you have pictures... thad be swell

[bullit_kid]

all construction right now

[mattj]

The box is below the road gap. Looks like we'll be hipping off the box this year!

Nothing finished as of yesterday afternoon but they're working hard and it looks like the Biker-X and boneyard will open very soon. Great job Boneyard crew! Looks like burly stuff.

[the Master Plan Dan]

I was there... without my bike... but the park looks sick, way better than last year. The Trailer is way up near the top and there are some huge jumps there this year... huge!

Can't wait, the bike report says that they are going to have it open for next weekend... looking good!

I was up there yesterday, the giro trailer is at the top. the road gap is in the same spot, duh, but beside it is a drop to launch gap to the tranny of the road gap it looks nuts. some one will flip out of it for sure. there is a street spine which is sweet. their still building it. it afte the berm of the road gap. Cowan was working on the jumps yesterday he got alot done. teh biker X cousre is roughed out. the big wooden box is build, the FT quarter pipe is built. The C wall is place out in the trees right after the road gap. It looks like they are putting in some small/medium step downs in the course and that about it. and they just started on the Red bull elevation jumps.

[Air Supplier]

Last weekend, its was flat dirt.

[Rida Guy]

So yah by the looks of the web cam the box is turned sideways
to last year. That would be cool if you had to rail a berm to make it instead
of braking like last year. I can also see lots of piles of dirt which looks like
roughed in jumps of course. I hope there is some stuff there to hit this
Thurs/Fri/Sat cuz I'm in whis for 4 days. :smokey:

[drummer_dil]

any news on the kona jump farm? (sry to change topic)

[cervo]

kona jump farm will be half boneyard for the big stuff and half top of olympic station like last year, but way better...
if you want i have a pretty close 3d view of what's gona be the bone yard...

[Millstone]

sounds like little bike will have to make a few trips this year.

Would I be able to take a gander?

[parksvilleguy]

yea the giro box is up high above most of it right now, and box isnt sideways completely more on an angle, and i'd like to see it tail tapped at the top by aron chase, that would be sick

should almost looking like that

[the Master Plan Dan]

I thought that the Kona Jump farm was going down near the entrance to lower A-Line, where you can enter the Bone Yard... they are piling the dirt pretty high!

Am I mistaken?

Dan

[Luke]

dam i cannot wait this is gunna be crazy... so is the camo box different this year ?.. nvr mnd i checkd the web cam shit is gunna be sick this yea rwoow i cnat wait to get up there this year

[fitchy]

yea the biker X course is almost done and the boneyard is coming along. it sucks that they took out the wallride and put it on golden triangle

[bcbud]

FLAT TURN in the bikerx!!!

[happy]

have a look at the latest bike park report for an update on the boneyard & bikercross

[Jeff M]

Myy Goooddd, Boneyard Looks Epiicccc.

[Luke]

yea the biker X course is almost done and the boneyard is coming along. it sucks that they took out the wallride and put it on golden triangle
huh they took out the marz wall and put it on a trail ??

[Samg]

yup, its been moved to golden triangle and the C-wall is in its place

[Straw]

C-wall looks all funny from the bottom; like it's warped and about to crack in half!

[Grumster]

isnt golden triangle an xc trail?

[Samg]

its a blue trail yeah, however its where the garbo trails join so you'll get to hit them on the way down from there

[cervo]

golden triangle is one really good trail when you drop into it from dufman, it's tons of fun and now i finnally gonna be able to hit the top and drop off that damn good rock wall with that new wall right behind it... swweeeettt
for the c-wall that's true, the last time when we moved it from his winter residence (water tower) on the way down we cracked the top of the curve but no worries, it will be readdy soon and will look like on my 3d plans ;)

[stacy kohut]

when?


what is the day that the biker x and slopestyle course are open?

is there a hard date?

is there any delays?

whats going on?



anyone.........................

[cervo]

cowan is out of the country for a while as well as richie... and the trail crew is really small this year, but i guess for the 24th of june, every thing should be full ridable...

[Straw]

It's interesting...if the boneyard is completed by the end of june, that makes it only open for three soild months, july, aug, sept.

[cervo]

the trail crew is pretty small this year and they have tons of work...

[stacy kohut]

summers are too short in whistler to wait for cowan and schley.

especially when the master builders dave and marty are here, local, and know what to do.

for biker x at least.


i can see how some of the freeriders would get whiney if the boneyard wasn't cowan or schley approved, but the biker x................

dave and marty are the dudes.they ride moto, know their shit, and are here.








tick tock tick tick tock tick tock.................................

[cervo]

the problem is Dave is not here too...

[gbabililon]

well why the hell arent they here! I wanna ride 4X. The roughed in course looks sick.

[stacy kohut]

i wanna 4x!!!!!!!!!



gate starts too!!!!!!

[Grumster]

YEAHHH , limit the amount of people on it, and so you can practise starts.

[stacy kohut]

just some gate starts.


you either roll over the gate to enter bx, or you do a gate start.
simple.
like bmx.

[drummer_dil]

thats odd the trail crew is small? u would think that they would be jam packed with builder types

[Midas]

boneyard got washed away with the monsoon today.

[Knurc506]

ya the rain was fuckin intense up ther today

[cervo]

i will probably but my hands in the boneyard this week if i can finish richie's stunt soon enough... i want to modify the box first... will see for after...

[FlipFantasia]

finish richie's stunt? why don't they worry about finishing the stuff for the paying customers instead of leaving half finished things everywhere? interesting that the trail crew is so small this year..........

[cervo]

unfortunatly am not working for the trail crew this year... won't get my visa in time for the summer, so am just doing what i can and what i want because i don't get money at all... and richie's stunt is not on the park... i have 100 of projects every where on the bike park to make the trails better and fun, also to fix some crappy spots... but probably won't happen :(

[littled]

i will probably but my hands in the boneyard this week if i can finish richie's stunt soon enough... i want to modify the box first... will see for after...
u know RICHIE SLAY!!!

[cervo]

a bit yeah, am co designer with richie and cowan, of crankworx and boneyard slopestyle

[hpman]

Hi Cervo,
If don't have a job right now, you will stay in Whistler for the summer season? How will you do without any income?
J'espere qu'on se verra en Aout quand je serais de retour :)

[stacy kohut]

nailed it on the head.





besides, if ya listen to the punkrock kids in town......



the conspiracy theories are already springing up.

"the older pros do not want dishwashers from citta's getting tons of practice"


i ain't sayin who said it, but it made me shake my head a few times......


and he was refering to bx AND slopestyle.



i say finish it, throw down some grass seed, get some tuffblocks going,put that starting gate in.........

same for slopesteez too.

[FlipFantasia]

serious stacy......there's this seemingly prevailing attitude right now that W/B is a bit too concerned about making shit look gnarly, than building stuff that everyone can ride........thing about the bsx course? it doesn't need big gaps in it, it can be made rideable for everyone and still have big moves on it. Does it look as do or die on film of still? maybe not, but it'd be a big move none-the-less......it was my first day in the park saturday, and almost everyone I rode up the chair with was bummed about the difficulty of the bsx course and the seemingly large nature of the boneyard....I dig hard stuff, I like the challenge, but I also don't like seeing so many people discouraged by how difficult certain things are becoming when they could very easily accomidate a wider range of skill levels.....don't forget the riders at that earlier stage of development, if it's all or nothing very few will even attempt to get there, and that's not healthy for the sport...

....I don't want to be a complete buzz-kill here, the park is a pretty amazing place, and I have a lot of fun there, I just think that there are a few places that could improve and make the experience even better for a wider range of rider....

[cervo]

don't worry flipfantasia, the gaps on BX will get some nice wood decking and will be removed for CW events... the boneyard will also get some nice sweet jumps every where and not only as big as the huge double you can see the dirt piles after the slopestyle dirt road gap, but it's true it won't be empty this year, jumps and features every where...

[FlipFantasia]

that's good to know, people should hear that though, there are apparently a lot of misconceptions.....

[cervo]

but you know i prefer this year BX who's more technical than last year who was maybe easier to roll but fucking dangerous if you miss a jump at a freaking high speed, this year will be better i think; less crashes and am pretty sure more riders in it because some lines will part of slopestyle course to double the fun ;)

[stacy kohut]

does not look all that hard.

the jumps and trannies are are rollable...........

shit i have no freaking legs and i am gonna do fine.


plywood decks?

just put a rollable freakin tranny inbetween.
believe me, cedric and crew are still gonna jump it.

EVERY jump in a supercross track is rollable.
it has to be, for safety sake.

there is no 'gaps' in supercross tracks.

the course is not gonna be that hard, and it will be fun for all, and it will have multiple lines.



BUT its june 13th,almost 6 weeks since that area of the park was workable and its still not done.


there are some things in whistler i will never understand.
time management is one of them, and this ain't just a wb thing, this is all over whistler.
(athletes village,affordable housing,olympic and paralympic preperations,etc , etc)
wasting time is harsh cause ya can never get it back.

money comes and goes, time , when its gone, its gone.


still best park in the world, best staff in the world, best place to live in the world.


but.................
i wanna train biker x dammit!!!!!!!!!

[cervo]

haha stacy it's always super fun to read your post... excellent ;)
i think like you there are some weird stuff going on specially this year... but every things are gonna be good soon, don't worry.

[the Master Plan Dan]

Soon please soon. I am being sent to Toronto for work... can it be done for when I get back... that would be the 26th of June.

Thanks!

[bcbud]

Could this have something to do with the Gravity Park thing Whistler is promoting? Tom Pro and the like helping other parks get on the go? IMBA/World Mountain Biking Conference is next week......

[cervo]

it's a really busy weird year...

[FlipFantasia]

seriously busy, we had a worca board meeting last night talking about the conference next week, there's a lot on the go....a 3 day IMBA trail building school in july too, free for 12 folks in exchange for 40 hours of volly trail work for worca per participant..... trails@worca.com if you want more info or are interested in participating.....

Personally, i really dont mind trying everything, but its right under the goddamn chairlift!!!! If only i didnt care what everybody thinks...

[bcbud]

Looked pretty good today, marty been at it for 2 days straight, almost doneski.....

[Straw]

I too was happy to see the dozers back in action.

Lets get the Boneyard going, and Garbo open! Melt snow, melt!

At least the weekday crowds aren't too big. I love riding right back onto the lift.

[FlipFantasia]

I take back my previous comments......course looked great last night, when we climbed past on our way up to in deep.....all the gaps have been filled in, course is shaping up nicely....it just sat in that one state for a while and people were really starting to wonder.....great job BP folk!

[cervo]

arf once again power of dirt won against wood... will be to easy for pros to suck/pedal/roll the big jumps now... anyway, will be better for everybody like that, but i still thinking wood deck could be funand more intresting for races when you remove them.
