There wasn't any gap kickers, but gap from the kicker onto a box etc.
Anyway, I've spoken to Graham and sadly the IPP is no more and is not happening again. All I can say is I'm glad I went on it. |

I can do gap onto rails well those black kinda like rail things they have at MK I seem to remember a particualrly nice set-up where they had it like a rocket rail with a 18inch gap on so scared but so glad I hit it was AWESOME. Defo the best rail they had out.
Gapped kickers on the other hand might be a bit trickier for me...I get a bit anxious first of and dont like flat lining towards kickers ever since clearing the landing of a big one and smashing my withered body down hard on the flat.  By big for me I mean a 6ft height one (I know thats tiny for a lot of peeps but big for me). |

| The kickers were medium and large and everything was gap onto. One guy we went with had never done a gap onto anything so we made him a ride on e.g. the first photo. They also make a small kicker for him too. |

I would be up for a camp sometime would be so much fun  When you say ride park do you mean large aprk skills or able to nail a few easier rails boxes and smaller kickers? |

What you trying to say?  
As long as you can ride park you can go on it. When I was there they did talk about making it into more of a camp - I think that would have worked really well as people could skate on the mini ramp, surf and snowboard in one day. |

The snow was soft on the IPP, just like any other park. |

Would be a real shame if that was the end of it.... but the fact that they've let their domain expire suggests it is over though....  |

Yep. Gutted it finished, but fingers crossed it will be up and running again. It was so cool riding park at 2am in day light.
The accomodation that everyone stayed in was sold by the owner and it was converted into something(can't remember what) that people could no longer use to sleep/live in.
If I remember right Graham was looking into options, but that was a couple of years ago and I've not anything since. |

I heard that they were unable to get accomodation cheap enough and near enough to the snow. It's a shame, I would love to have gone  |
