Charles Beckinsale dropped me a line with some new features and rebuilds that have been happening up at Thredbo. Check some photos in the gallery and some details below!
On Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd we rebuilt the Cruiser and Highnoon terrain parks putting in alot of our new features including some of the DC features. The DC C Rail and DC Down Flat. The Cruiser terrain park now features a 3m dance floor box, a 6m flat box, a 9m down box and a 9m flat down box aimed at the beginner to lower intermediate rider.
The Highnoon park has a heavy street style/industrial theme with alot of different street style set ups and 3 lift tower tube combinations to keep things interesting. The park is aimed at the intermediate to advanced rider, the line consists of 6m street style down lift tower tube, 7m street style flat round bar, 6m banked box, 6m street style dc down/flat rail, 9m street style dc c-rail, gap to 6m down lift tower tube and the 8m a-frame lift tower tube.
