First of many Third Chapter PEEPSHOW'S by Stu Ross.
It's been a busy couple of weeks with World Rookie Fest, copious amounts of new snow and a few rebuilds of the park. This episode we've got some snowdancing from Ryan Tiene and Jai aswell as the usual suspects riding the parks.
With a refurbished Cruiser Beginner Park the mini shredding has been very popular. Charles spent a 16 hour day in the cat to build one of the funnest lil beginner parks we've had. In it there are 6 small jumps ranging from 5 - 15 feet a mini step up and a range of beginner jibs.
In High Noon we have the 30 stair handrail set up that is new for 2010 along with a 30ft and 40ft jump, 6m down box, down/flat/down rail, a new transfer hip, 6m candy cane rail and the hitching post set up pretty high.
Monster Airbag is still up and running and we're getting prepped up for the Rip Curl Freeride and Throwdown competitions.
So get up here for a shred.

With the Drovers Terrain Park at Falls Creek completely rebuilt, Mat Galina rolled one smooth run through the new park on this sunny Saturday (August 7th).
Reubon Cameron and Matto Smith have built an awesome park featuring 2 jumps and 6 jib features to make the best line in Drovers Terrain Park history to date at Falls Creek.
With nearly a metre of snow falling in the last few days the Thredbo Perisher park battle will surely be heating up.
Who's up next? send in your vids.
Nick Hyne drops a Backside 720 - Frontside 1260 tail grab combo on Snow Parks jump line. The front 12 is ridiculously casual - getting ready to kick some arse in the NZ Open coming up in a couple of weeks. Yeah Hyner. Check out his part in Made You Look - insanely tech.
The Episode features the riding of Charles Beckinsale, Gus St Leon, Ben Fawcett and more.
At the moment we have Cruiser Terrain Park open with a selection of smaller jumps (5) and 3 flat boxes.
High Noon Park has a 30ft and 40ft jump followed by a 6m Down Box, our new Down Flat Down rail, C-box, Street Style flat Box (skate ledge), Pole jam to Bonk bin and the candy cane stall feature.
We are hoping to have a sweet jib line in below the Monster Bagjump in coming weeks.
See ya on the hill.
