finish the rock along the window so that can be part of the course. also, the bridge needs a bungee jump and zip line.

Yeah a zip line would be awesome!

Oh what about some type of rhythm section of doubles?

Oh and a loopty loop!

Im not even joking all of this would be amazing, granted it may look like a circus it would be so fun!

I would like moveable obstacles. In laying out the courses there at finishline I'm learning it's nice to have options. I like that I can move the ramp and because of that it gets used almost every comp. The bridge is not getting used as much because it's in the same place and limits the ablility for variety. Plus I think at FL if obstacles are going to be on the rocks they need to be moveable because we have limited lines and really need to be able to change things up frequently there. With weekly comps there we are going to have to work hard to keep it different and interesting.

I like Ty's idea about some different types of slick rock.

V Notches are fun too.
