I can't imagine having that much faith in that old ass equipment, although it was revolutionary at the time. That's a hell of a case point for a "public" bike park.
i don't think it was public. it was for a freeride competition at snowshoe a while back, i can't remember but i'm pretty sure they tore the course down the second the comp was over.
This is in Marquette Michigan and they only had it up for the monster park competition. they built a smaller version of if for the general public which was super sick just not as huge.
haha,, That is no photoshop. I actually took this photo and i'm one of kevins friends. We made a deal, if you hit it i will hit it. I sure didnt want to hit that drop on my 5 inch travel heckler but i would of if he didn't blow out when he hit the landing and need to go get some stitches in his elbow. He is still bitter i never hit this drop. hahah i think they tore it down 2 days later
I 2nd the photoshopped idea. There is almost no runout and that old ass shiz would have exploded on impact killing everyone within 100 yards. Video or BUST.
you see the berm on the far right of the picture. that's the top of the landing and they dug out a big hole to make it steep and long enough. its definitely real.
