| Brilliant. Maybe next someone at RedBull could put some wheels on the bottom of a board and then they wouldn't need snow either. Maybe leave those bindings off too so you don't need the tow as well and I think they might be onto somethnig. |

I think it's a pretty sweet idea actually. They seem to have built it at the bottom of the mountain...as that's where you tend to find tons of SNOW.
Building up the hill would just be a snowpark and that's nothing groundbreaking is it now?
Cheer up |

All seems a bit pointless really? Description on the video's also a bit suss... isn't snow just frozen water? 
Can see how this might be nice for those who live in an area with plenty of snow and no hills for a reasonable distance around. |

| I think it's a great idea, people would be far more willing to try tricks and jumps with a tow rope on a flat park than on a standard mountain |

| I'm with Sidge. It's just another way to have fun so what's the problem? And as someone who sucks at hitting kickers I think I'd find it a bit less intimidating as you'd feel like you were a bit more in control of what was going on, giving you more time to focus on what the hell you're supposed to be doing, rather than worrying about whether you've got enough speed or the exact right line in etc.. etc.. Plus, wouldn't an indoor one of these be a lot easier to build than a dome? |
