Interested to see opinions on this after what was said before Texas Two Step

Any more pictures? Hard to really tell what is going on completely in that one.

Can't wait to see the videos from this stop

No riders have posted anything about this stop. I have seen two pics including this one. Really odd that no one is saying anything.

It is very odd that there have been so little posts about this stop on the various social media sites. Is there some unspoken rule for this stop or does Canada not have cell phone towers yet, no service? Smash

The elevated pool reminds me of Remote's setup a while back on Devise and Conquer.

BB, Thanks for sharing that, some how i never saw that vid or set up three years ago! So dope.... If there was a setup like that at the stop there would be so many epic line possibilities, but i don't think it looks like that haha. Very skateboarding style.

It looks like it's difficult for people to watch. One of my favorite things about the other stops is how close you can stand to the gap or rail. Do you ollie in and out of the pool?

Ya i just saw that wakebabe vid on insta, looks like a promising set up, cant wait to see what kinda hammers go down. It would be sick to see a trick into the pool then one in the flats in the pool then one down the pool gap.

It's simple and awesome. Hopefully we will see some (first) flip tricks. Or at least in a contest. Really rooting for Benny and Reed.

Thanks wakemitch. That top pool looks choppy.

What flips tricks haven't we seen down a gap yet?

Yeah, the 3 hard flip and 3 inward are the top two I was thinking of. My guess is battle falls is going to have some crazy stuff going down. Then again it does every year. Has anyone seen any updates for gridiron? Post just kinda stopped after heat 5.

Have all of those tricks already been landed?

Well, the new set up is really rad. Ha. This should make a very interesting edit.
