    Default do you think theyd build

    a downhill course similar to the snowboard cross @ whistler except with concreat for longboarding? I wonder how insane it would be to roll through :o a 20 foot early grab would be ridiculous.

    Holy nuts that would be sick. Take out the jumps and pave that sucker, and that would be awesome to rip through.

    even if it was alot of banked turns and some big bumps would be awesome. and probably not out of the question. but dam youd need a nice hill and a whole lot of concrete. but dam imagine a big banked downward spiraling carousel turn. sigh if only i had a billion dollars.

    I ride boardX when I can and race DH...

    If I had a nice big drop deck with bindings, sure.
    But I would need a pair of trucks that I KNOW wouldn't lop out from underneath me after landing a big gap, and that's asking a lot.

    Sounds like what your asking for is a paved version of the Banked Slalom course at Mt Baker... Imagine some of those wrecks on concrete though

    Dude that boardercross video is SO sick.

    Snowboard cross is definitely the coolest event in the winter olympics, especially cuz the athletes wear jeans and chill on couches at the bottom of the course lol.

    peace
