7Kings....It's time to Krown another.

2011-02-11T15:09:00.001-05:00

7Kings was so fun last year (check out the video from last year ^above), we can't wait to see what it's like this year. This event consists of 7 Mini-events; Rock Paper Scissors, R.A.D., High Ollie, Dice Capades, Spin-To-Win, Tweeked Method, and a Best Trick Quarterpipe Jam.

This is how 7Kings goes down.

Paper-Rock-Scissors: From two lines. Each player will face the player directly in front of them. They will say, “rock-paper-scissors-shoot” and on “shoot” each player will throw their choice. The winner will stay on and the loser will walk. We will reform lines until we are down to the top two people. They will face off in best 2/3. That will determine the winner.

RAD: The location will be at the flat box. We call out rider order (is not biased on skill just for sake of order) the first rider will throw a trick and if they land their trick then the following rider must do the exact same trick. If the second rider makes the trick then it moves on to the 3rd rider. If the rider missed the trick they will receive a Letter. If a rides receives the letters then they have spelled the word RAD and must leave the game. Once a trick is missed it is up to the next rider to set another trick. This will con
tinue on until there is only one rider left.

High Ollie: We will set up high jump equipment on the knuckle of the landing ramp. Each rider will go in the same order of the RAD game and see if they can pop over the high jump. If they succeed then they get to stay in, if they miss then they are out. After each full rotation of riders the poll will be moved up. This will continue on until there is only one rider left.

Dice-Capades: Each rider will roll the dice and then perform the trick that is given to them. The tricks will be thrown on the 3 or 6 ft jump. If the rider doesn’t land their trick they will have to leave the game.
Spin to Win: Each rider will launch off of the big kicker and throw each spin. Starting at a 360 > . Each rider will go and try the spin. If they don’t land it then they are out, if they do they continue to the next round. Each round a 180 will be added to the spin.

Most Tweaked Method: Each rider will attempt their most tweaked out method grab. (skiers If enter will do an x-up) the rider with the best tweak wins.

Quarterpipe Best Trick: Jam format 30min (more depending on number of riders) must hit quarter pipe/ wall ride. Best trick wins.

They start at Noon and will go to 6pm. It is free to enter. And we are not closing the slopes down.

SouthEastSnow.com had some great things to say about LMSC's events...

" The crew at LMSC has been working really hard this year and has put on some great events already. The Fall Jam was a pre-season event, to see who had been working on their skills in the off-season. Fall Jam brought some stellar riding, with some huge spins being thrown. The Snowshoe Open brought riders from all over to compete in a Big Air and Rail Jam. And then there was the DeMoss Rail Jam, that awarded one of the biggest cash prizes this area has ever seen. With three great competitions under their belt, there is no telling how fun and exciting '7 Kings' will be. I guess there is only one way to find out. Be there!"

Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre Hosts DeMoss Jam on Liberty University Campus

2011-02-03T16:27:00.001-05:00

This was the first event LMSC has ever has on REAL snow much less on a concrete stair set, in front of one of the biggest buildings on campus. Plans were to get ice shavings from the hockey rink and to make snow with the "home-made" snowgun but the warm temps had the crew worried. The day before the event, Wintergreen Resort trucked in a huge pile of snow to help the event to go off with out a hitch.

Heres the first video of the event. The only bangers in this one were peoples heads slamming but it's a great edit overall. People were wrecking themselves at the chance to take home $1,000. Check some of it out here!

Me.Glad, Humanity Snowboards, and SFC came sliding through town for the Seven Kings Event. Seven Kings consisted of 7 Mini-events. The events included rolling dice to determine which grab, spin, and stance you had use to approach the jump. There was a high-jump event where the riders had to clear a high jump bar over the knuckle of the jump. A rail jam R.A.D. contest, played like a game of S.K.A.T.E. Also, spin-to-win event and a Jam Contest on the Quarterpipe, "Most Tweeked Method" and to top it off, there was a Rock Paper Scissors event! The day was filled with FUN. Check out the video

Seven Kings One Crown, is an new event at LMSC planned for Saturday, Jan 23. The event will consist of points race of 7 mini-events with 7 winners, but the Crown will go to the overall points leader. I assume you can sign up for each individual event or all 7 if you please, there will only be 30 slots for each event. There is a $20 registration fee and registration starts at 8 A.M. on the day of the event. The event starts at 12 P.M. so I'd try to get registered before 11 A.M. I believe registeration is at LMSC in the Lodge. The $20 registeration fee will allow you to ride all day after the comp. is over. Prizes include Snowshoe Seasons passes, Humanity Snowboards, and lots of other swag.

Check out Humanity Snowboards on the web or check them on Facebook.

Let It Snowflex - washingtonpost.com

"Liberty student and snowboarder Kevin Manguiob is effusive. He's on the slope almost every day and as a New York native is accustomed to the powder in his home state and Canada. "It mimics it very, very good," he replies to my inevitable request for his take on Snowflex vs. snow."

Here are some snapshots taken throughout the night.

2009-11-29T02:39:00.000-05:00

Nothing special going on this Monday night, but I hear of big plans for Monday December 7th you will not want to miss it!

new features and new locations of existing ones

2009-11-29T01:39:00.000-05:00

Here is how the park is set up...

You can choose from the 3 jumps or the up-flat-down "battleship", or the up-flat-up, where the landing transition is at almost a 90 degree hip or if you launch off of it, you can land on normal transiton. I find it easiest to hit the battleship and the up box by not using the drop-in ramp but rolling over the little knuckle on the left.

After I put my camera up someone moved the 20ft corrugated pipe out so you can make a line out of it, then you have a little bit of time to set up to hit the flat box, or you can continue down to the new 30ft thin box. This feature has a little wedge jump to about a 1ft gap to box. You must ollie onto this feature, it is NOT ride on.

The other half of the corrugated pipe will be out soon for even more jibbing!

Oh yeah I will also mention the 11 ft quarter pipe and the wall feature at the bottom for those of you who have never been here.

The top section is still not opened. I will keep you updated on that when I hear more...the snowflex is finished and the misters are on, and the c-box is out....with a little hiking and a nice ollie, the c-box is shredable.
