Samurai136 0 #5 December 16, 2005 That facility look like it was built in Saudi Arabia. Some people think wanting to build a multi-million dollar indoor rainforest in Iowa is strange.... Ken"Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jraf 0 #8 December 16, 2005 Yes, it is a present of Gorge W. Bush to the people of the persian gulf - check the gas prices lately?

Diversgodown 0 #11 December 16, 2005 Looks pretty damn gay to me! the least they could do is put some badass jumps on the run. If your going to do that short of a run over and over again at least you could practice some aerobatics!!! There was a run that short in Illinois Wimont and that's what I'd do just jump-ride up drink-jump ride up drink-jumpride up drink-jump and drink then jump-jump-jump drink. by the end of the day most of my jumps would end up with me on my ass. ***Glory Favors the Bold*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swedishcelt 0 #13 December 16, 2005 I was just trying to figure out how long 170 metres long and 30 metres wide would compare to. I think it's only about 1/10th of a mile? That is very short! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 284 #14 December 16, 2005 its ok if its all you have - the one in the UK (there are actually 2 but the tamworth one is rubbish) sometimes has big jumps put on it on experienced nights. I went once but wouldn't bother again - the comparison with the wind tunnel isn't quite right somehow.Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just my style! Believe it or not, I'm afraid of snow skiing. I can't snow plow (hurts my hips), so never really got off the bunny hill. (my first try at skiing was when I was 16 and it sucked). I've tried skiing 5 different times and failed miserably. Too cold. Snow too hard. Uncoordinated as hell. No fun. If this slope is easy, it just might be the ticket! That, or put a tandem drouge behind me and allow it to slow me down so much that I'd learn and have fun at the same time. Snow skiing is way -too- fast for me! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #24 December 17, 2005 I think it would be the Hop-n-pop of skiing, okay if you haven't been for a while, but nothing like a great day on a real mountain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
