Sinecure Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Check out what Reliable Racing is plugging on the front of their "Hill and Event Supply" section: Carving Course as Park Feature Looks like fun. I can just see the "No Trenching" sign they'll have to make once we ride it a few times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin A. Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 LOL, it'll be like the "No inverted aerials" signs in parks now. RR has been plugging these in their catalogs for awhile now. My local hill actually had a short one set up for a few weeks last season. I think they got sick of me and my friends tearing through it and wrecking the snow there ...but it sure was fun. I can see alot of these brushes getting stolen out of parks if they get put in .

Vandalrob08 Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Ya at my hill the trenches would be about four feet deep by lunch!!! And I know the park workers wouldnt have the energy to reset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastskiguy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 They tried to get this going years ago when shaped skis hit the market (now we just call them "skis" LOL). Too bad it never went anywhere, it looked like a great time and it could really get people turning. Maybe it'll get popular this time, I'd dig it!

patmoore Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 The CT Ski Council has tried the event at our annual winter carnival. It is a lot of fun. There was a terrific website up about the FIS Carving Cup circuit but it appears to be defunct. Here's the cached view. The site itself, www.carvingcup.com appears to be up for grabs if anyone wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hi Pat The links you show(from the cached page) are all to a non-existant site that is a "Pop Up" trigger. I had 4 ad pages open within a second or two. Warning to those that hate Pop-Ups or re-directs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Pat, when you click on any of these links you get what? I get sent to the dead site link with pop-ups. Nothing related to the carving info that the links would suggest. It is a dead cached page of a non-existant site? Now being used to advertise. Strange.
