dude. i have been jibbing since i was 14. we use to go poach snowboard parks when we weren't allowed. that was fuckin 8 years ago. snowboard was at its peak. it was fun back then. i use to wack my poles on the top deck of sitting snowboarders.

now i was watching the côté obscur. then 17 year old kid is huckin a switch 1080. i am so out of it.

i use to ski 70+ days a winter. now all i do is work. i skied 15 days this winter. i went to jib this week. i thought you didn't loose the touch.
i couldn't even reach to grab ski in my rotation.
i bailed. then stuck to 180s. i cant do it anymore. in the fast pace of newschool i was left out. i am an old newschooler.

I am 24 yrs old...and it is hard getting out there and learning wicked cool tricks, falling is more difficult...being 14 would be great...but many of those kids help me out and is nice to see younger kids out there not snowboarding! Hope my kids do that

Sorry to hear that bro. Don't worry though... twisters are still fun to do. I did one a while ago, I was really bored, and it was a blast. When it comes to that, we can always go back to backscratchers, too.

haha, I think big mountain is where it's at. Any little monkey ass kid can hit the park and throw grabs and stuff but if you've actually got nads and a little hair on your chest then you ski steeps and chutes and huck cliffs and rip up backcountry kickers, that's where it's at, for me anyway. But newschool still hasn't taken off over here so there's no little groms here yet. all good.
