Here is the same feature from another angle with a different grab.

We built some new jumps for the last 4 weeks of the season, both step overs, one at 50ft and the other at 45ft.  Charlie got so geeked on having good jumps that pretty much destroyed them

within the first few days!  This is a big Backside 180 with a tweaked out melon.

It was kind a crappy snow year in michigan as you can see in this next picture! the 

woods are pretty much empty!  But that didn't stop Chuck, the kid just kept jibbing away!

This is another of my favorite Charlie shots.  The Nub's Nob double kink is 

a legit rail for a resort and Charlie just slays it!

These next three photos have a great story behind them.

Charlie and I designed this single kink down flat bar a the beginning of the season. 

I got out the protractor and measured a 22 degree angle that at the time, on a much smaller

scale, seemed mellow.  Well a few weeks later it was finished and ready to be integrated 

in to the terrain park.  Charlie, myself and Ron Rose headed out on hill one night to 

set this beast up and realized how steep 22 degrees really was!

It was insanely steep.... Charlie and I argued about it for a while and I finally ended up 

telling him the only way I would believe it was safe for kids was if he starting riding it

right then!  ..... 

And that's just what Chuckles did!  he strapped in and just tore that rail apart, check out

the proof below.

This is the water tower in Charlevoix Michigan.  A few of us spent an afternoon

shoveling up to this feature.  Our good buddy Justin Ducker ended up getting the 

banger shot on it, but Chuckles pulled a few good ones out of his bag as well.

This is the Nub's Nob signature feature I designed for the 2010/11 season.

This thing has so many different approach angles and exit angels!

Charlie put it to good work this season, proving to the skeptics that it 

was definitely worth checking out! 

This 1000 gallon tank became a staple feature at Nub's Nob this season.  And who

is the Tank Master you might ask?  none other than Chachi.

So like I said earlier, Charlie Hoffman rips, plane and simple.

This kid doesn't get half the credit he deserves for his riding, which is probably just the 

way he wants it!!!
