Talk:Terrain park

Move to Wiktionary
This seems more like a definition than an encyclopædic entry. Avi 06:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Deserves to be expanded to include history and further detail. I'd say it warrents an entry here at pedia as well as wiktionary.  removing Move to Wiktionary from article unless further opinion supporting transwiki.  &there4; here&hellip;&spades; 07:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that "Deserves to be expanded to include history and further detail" and not be romoved. It has potential, just hasn't reached it yet--E-Bod 22:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Some of the slang should be clarified for those uninitiated to the sport. Example: "Jibs are any type of fixture which can be ground (?), buttered (?), or tricked off of (?)"

Additional intro information
I've added a little bit of history and something I think of as a sort of current resort trend. The trend I believe is slightly biased to Colorado because I live here, if more information can be added from around the country/globe I'd gladly welcome it. Bgautrea (talk) 00:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the addition. Indeed, I thought Mount Bachelor ski area's first terrain park was around 1985.  I can't find any source right now though.  —EncMstr 00:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll look to see if I can also find a source with respect to the Mount Bachelor park.  I've also added some additional details with respect to the Jibs and Jumps and a Difficulty section I believe is a good benefit since they are specific to parks.  I think another section that could give more perspective to a terrain park would be about the equipment used to maintain a park.  Some of the this machinery is exclusively used to build half pipes and I think it even has an interesting history and development.Bgautrea (talk) 03:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
