Disasters
Nose presses.

getting air in the pipe. 5ft out of the 17fter.

And still skiing until June @ A-basin.

welll...i had a injury for the whole month of january...so i didnt progress a great amount...

i started off the season in octobre just getting comfy with my 3s, then first day at my home mtn they had a nice 30 footer...and i 3ed a big jump for the first time in my 2 year park career...then i did same rails...just with mor confidence...270 on and off box...then after my injury i skied one more time at my home mtn, boy i love that place...came back learned how to 5 and 7, and i never thought that i would be doing that...and now i can 3 over liek 45 footers and i just hope to perfect 5 and 7s for next year, and when the EC gets snow next year i plan on going out into the powerlines with my crew and learn, and do underflips>?(turn90 degrees, then do a lincoln down the hill then land sw?) not sure what ever that is...but i can do it on the tramp now off a small bounce so i hop[e that i can improve leaps and bounds next year, and alos next year i can drive so i plan on going more, and i hope to film next year a gerat amoiunt more...

I just got a lot more confident and faster with my big mountain skiing, I got in some pretty hairy lines this season. I can't say I spent more than about 2 hours in a terrain park all season though, so my trickery is a little basic.
