I don't ski park, and this is going to be another claim thread.
I just recently learned switch backs, and rodeo 5s off of a smallish booter in the BC.
Off of cliffs, I have thrown two backflips this year, three 360s, and a 540.

You mean when hitting those lil 10 ft. gaps where HUGE adn when instead of hitting rails i would go to the side and do a sweet 180, no thinking of someone else i wasn't that bad, don't remember sorry.

Yeah it was last year for me haha i was so much worse. I have footy from when i thought i was the shit for sticking 3s off 10footers and hitting flat-down boxes that were really easy. Hey I was soooooo stoked off that stuff when i finally realized i could actually do something in the park.

Now I'm hitting 270's on and am working on 5's and hopefully will stick pretzels next time i go. I barely get to go skiing though i only ski about 15 days a year.

I do...because I have a really limited amount of days in the season. I wanted to see how many I could hit and make in two weeks.

I remember when we went up with a school group, and the instructor too, us to the park. I did a spread of sorts off the lip, and wrecked super hard. When I landed one later that day, I was so stoked.

And when my buddy and I went out to learn 360s, we built a 6" jump (maybe) and proceeded to huck ourselves 3 or 4 ft into the pow field below. We almost missed Patrol sweep, but we both got one.

I was on race skis.  They were 187's.  I forget the year, but it was around the mid 90's.  First big memory was throwing my first 3.

My mountain didn't have a park then but I remember my first season jumping, I think it was 1998. Poorly built powder booters, backflips and 360s with some respectable cliff drops.

Now I focus more on learning how to ski the shit out of everything, but on a good day in park I can float some good-looking slow spins frontwards and backwards.

I'm an old man.  I remember poaching the "Snowboard Park" to get my jib on during the 96-97 season when skiers weren't allowed in the park.  Started to do grabs and spins that year and thought it was so progressive, hah! Haven't progressed a ton other than boxes and the occasional rail since then as I'm more about the pow but  I love a good session in the park once in a while...keeps me alert and makes me smile.
