Park worker says don't jump stairs

I was up there today as well, who knows maybe we saw each other and didn't even know it. I saw plenty of people ollie over the stairs, I thought you were supposed to since there was an oh so slight lip right at the top. :dunno: Also saw plenty of people wipe off the flat top feature on the left side and hit the stairs hard with their board. Probably causes just as much damage slipping off the features early and nailing the stairs. Cover the stairs completely with snow if they are so worried about it....

I skipped everything though after dropping in except for that double box right at the end. It was a box practice day for me today.

Also, I was wearing gunmetal colored pants with a brown flannel shirt and a gray vest over it. Don't see toooo many vest riders so maybe you'll remember me.

I'm confused. Was it an actual park feature? Seymour has some steps and patio rails and a bannister set up in the park, and the whole point is to hit it every which way you can. You aren't talking about the steps up to the lodge or something?

Well, I was there yesterday (Thurs 3/21). But you pretty much got all the descriptions right for the lower playground area. Surprised you are at your computer already since they do close at 4pm, so guess you live pretty close.

I did not expect anyone to tell me not to jump the stairs that was a park feature. If he tried to give me a hard time, I would call him out and question why they put stairs there. But he went off somewhere else so I kept jumping the stairs since he wasn't around to say no.

It was a park feature with rail/box on the side. These aren't stairs for pedestrians.

There's a stair feature at my local resort (MtHigh) and I was jumping it trying to clear it. Well, a park crewman saw me trying to clear the stairs, but I landed on the stair set itself and not the snow. And he told me to please do not jump the stairs.

First it was because it's not good for the stairs. Then it was "I don't want to see you get hurt." And that they are there for decoration. Well, I don't get why a resort would put up a stair feature and then tell people not to jump it. He was cool about it and wasn't hard on me, but I don't get why he needs to tell me not to jump the stair feature.

Well, he went somewhere else and I hit the stairs again even though he told me not to. I was able to clear it after a few attempts so his precious stairs were not stomped on. I just thought it was dumb for a park worker to tell me not to jump the stairs.

At my mountain the park crew are so high they don't give a fuck about anything.

...without yoga pants or turd refs...wtf?!?...didn't think op even had a snowboard...maybe an attempt at revamping his image??? Or maybe Mommy grounded him for a few days from his computer and be reflected on what a douche bag he's been on here and that any attention he received was only for our amusement...who knows. Who cares.

yea while I agree, if it's there then block it off somehow if you dont want it used, or something. That's why rails are there, to ride on

but - yea dont recommend calling your park crew a pussy unless you want to be punched in the face. These guys dont give a fuk most of them and will..with friends watching/laughing..

The troll has been out-trolled by the forum. This seems like a legit thread though, so if he isn't trolling, no need to start anything. At least I don't think there is.

And a park feature "for decoration"? That's weird. I'm curious, what were the stairs made of anyway? I'd imagine they're some form of concrete, so landing on them if worse for you/your board than the stairs. I could be wrong though. I've never been into a park with stairs. I tried some small rollers once and that was it. Parks still scare me ^^

no. he might bitch up and get all pissy and try and take your pass but you've got to be retarded if you think an employee at a resort is going to punch you in the face at work.

he'd be fired and arrested and the resort would be lucky to not get sued.

Same with mine. I left Waterville and got a full pass at a closer mountain because it was cheaper. And holy fuck these park crew guys are retarded. They sit in a hut all day and bake their brains out. I'm lucky to see one of them crawl out once in a day. So anyone thinking about riding Gunstock, don't waste your time it's a fucking joke.

JETFALCON!

It was wooden steps with metal copings. And I probably messed the back of my tail up a bit from landing on those stairs so I think its worse for my board than the stairs. I ride park so I'm not worried about scratching/dinging my board.

I only troll the off topic zone to see how many views I can get. Because I doubt this will get many views unless the haters come take over.

Jeez, you still mad? You're probably one of those guys who avoids every park feature and only does a half ass jump to the side to believe they're a true snowboarder. Then talks shit to other riders who got more game than you at the park. If you were good or decent, you'd have no need to justify being better than some guy on the internet so I can rest assured you probably suck at snowboarding and are a total pussy. You're probably the kind of guy who doesn't wanna risk getting hurt so its best to make excuses that you could ride park if you didn't get hurt.

I wasn't grounded, there's more to life than your social status on a forum. And ya I enjoyed all that attention I got from losers like you trying to justify everything.

And stop trying to fool yourself that you don't care. You obviously do care for bringing up something that happened over a week ago when most people moved on.
