Meh. My friend Willy has one of them contraptions in his back yard that's at least that big. PLUS it's WAY more rickety and unsafe than that thing will ever DREAM of being! ;)

I was wondering what they were building. Last weekend I saw them building it, they only had the kickers at that point and they were doing the dirt work.

apparently its being chopped down a few feet; i guess the builders were a bit too overzealous. still should be a comp not to be missed - anyone going to be there? i'll be racing the garbanzo dh earlier that day (top to ephing bottom!!) & i'll try to snap some pics of the comp.

I didn't know the circus was in town. I wonder if Whistler will add midgets and ponies next.

Well Robbie Bourdon was there for the opening of Garbanzo...OOOhhhh....BURN.

I plan on going up that weekend just to see the crazyness in person.

did anyone see that 12 foot quarter that theyre building? they called it the biggest quarter ever, havent they ever seen the hoffman ramp? it was exactly twice that high, at 24 feet and around 40 feet wide, it was the world's biggest quarter.

The kickers are for the tires. Thats all new material. There are still 3 more new stunts going in....(I freaking love living here...wohoo)...

And yes...15 ft would be to the apex...not the absolute top...the thing is massive...and skinnier than the boardwalks on smoke and mirrors section1.

On a trail for a mtb? They might have left out details ;)

And yeah that thing is big too...

BTW guys...that stunt like most of the others going in the boneyard, are rumoured to be pro only. you need a special pass or a pretty face to ride it :)

Update....thats its shell. Supposedly it is being reduced by 6 ft. The guess is some dirt around the base to stabalize it...

Gotta love Internet Conjecture :D
