this season i'm doing shit that i didn't think i could ever do. i'm not trying to be cocky i'm just really stoked on the fact that i've stepped up quite a bit this year. on an up flat i got a double switch up to 270 out and on an urban rail i got a blind side switch up..and not at the end of it haha. i don't know why i can suddenly do this shit. this happening to anyone else?

yeah, I'm really surprising myself this year, i learned a 270 on (onto boxes, im gonna try it on a flat bar later when my hill has on that isn't nutable height) and I'm trying switch ups and 270 outs, which i wouldn't have even tried last year

i think its because i have a lot more confidence, cause last year i would be afraid to hit certain stuff or try stuff, but this year, thus far, i have been a lot more ballsey in the stuff i try

yeah me to Ive been hitting stuff that I had no idea I could do last year. Like I saw this small jump and it was a 30ft grass gap and 15 feet down, and you needed to start from the beginging of the trail to get enough speed, On the chairlift i saw It and said damn id be crazy if i hit that thing, by the end of the day I was throwing 180s off of it.

Actually, yeah, I switched over from skiboarding and in my 15 days of skiing I can 360 pretty well with the occasional 540 and I'm doing butters on boxes and stuff that I couldn't on skiboards.

well last year i couldnt do anything on rails (no swicth ups or spins on) except for almost 270s off. but this year i can slide unnat, do swicth ups both ways, and spin on, and go switch on.

ya, I have to say im just pretty damn good, nothing I do surprises me anymore given the fact that Im just pro at life. and no, im not killing it this year, although i FINALLY learned how to slide rails and not just boxes so I guess i would agree that I have progressed. I think it comes from just thinking about it all summer.

I'm super stoked that I'm killing it sooooo hard this year. I'm getting footy and bangin chicks everynight. I wish everyone could be as sweet as me. Oh wait that's not right I suck and everyone knows it. Shit, why can't I slay as hard as all of you?

I am sorta finding the opposite. Last year I had all the balls in the world and was hitting huge table tops and what not. I even entered a compition. But near the end of the year, I popped wrong off a jump and ended up in the hospital for four days. Now it's my second day of skiing this year and I have been in the pakr but I have been unable to hit anything except for a flat box which was like a foot off the ground. So, you know..... hopefully I'll get some confidence.

shitty weather is holding me back a bit, just a lack of terrain and park features, basically on par with the end of last season as of now
