Progressing in your mid 20's

Its crazy when I think about it, I am going to be 25, have a serious job, pay my own bills, live in the city, tons of pressure, etc.. etc.. But I still have the drive to progress as I did when I was 16.
The question I have for all you older dudes out there, is do you feel the same I do? 25 is a pretty pinacle age in your life, and I feel like when I am 28 I will feel super old.
Progression never stops in skiing. Its crazy how much this sport has progressed since the grass root days.
I guess my biggest question is, does anyone feel like they should just chill out and ski, instead of trying to learn new tricks. You can't help it when your addicted, but when is enough? Maybe never, whos going to be 40 years old and still trying new things?

You will never stop progressing. However, the the direction of your progression will at some point change. I guess that would make it transgression. Mid 20's yeah that's about when.

Hi guys. If I may, I'd like to say that the only limits are the ones that you set on yourself.
I spent all of my 20s doing moguls, and really didn't even get a chance to get into the newschool stuff until after that. I did my first doubles at 30, and did my first 900 when I was 34. Sure there has been the odd injury along the way, but it still feels worth it to me.
Learning anything new is exhilarating, I still plan on learning tons of new stuff, on rails, jumps, bc, everywhere.
I like to look at guys like Ken Bradshaw, who is in his 50s and towing into 60+ foot waves that can tear a person into pieces.
Exercise, stretching, and a positive attitude will keep all of you guys progressing for as long as you want to....... stay stoked, and you will stay young!
