How many of your goals have you completed this year.

My goals are: get 3's with grabs, get 5's, Get the shotgun, Get the kink rail, get spins/switch-ups on rails,  do spins off bigger jumps, be more confident on rails, and to be steezy.

The ones I've accomplished: I got a couple 5's, I got the shotgun, I got the kink, I got 270 off on every rail, and there are still no jumps bigger than 15 feet in my park.

540 with grabs, tweaked mute, first 7, switch 3's, 270 out of boxes.  Still working on switchups, 2's on, flips, and zero spins.  ITs odd that I find it easier to spin switch than just a zero spin.  Any suggestions?

I remember wanting to 5 consistantly and front flip. I have done both and now I am working on misties. I also want to back flip.
I have a new goal for rails/ boxes and that is all four 270s on, all four sw ups, and all four 270 outs. I have all four 270 outs on rails and boxes but I have 2 sw ups for rails and boxes and I only have 2 270s on for boxes and sometimes 1 for rails. I also want to learn 2 450s out and learn to switch on right foot forward. I can only switch on to unnatural or whatever. If I don't get hurt I might try a switch front flip.

zero spins are hard. try looking down through your legs rather than over you shoulder which can cause you to spin

its cause you look over your shoulder on the in run when your going switch, and when your in the air your looking at the landing which makes your body want to turn that way. a good way to start out learning them until you get better, and on a small jump, would be to look up hill right before the lip so your body doesn't want to turn. from there you could either just trust yourself to land if its a small enough jump or you could look around and spot your landing.

So far this year I have been working on my switch skiing, which I have been getting way better at. I also slid my first rail last weekend and today I hit a flat box, down box and a fat C box, so I am pretty stoked right now. If you really set your mind to it, you can do it.

 For later... I want to get 3's and 180's with grabs off some decent sized jumps. I can do little 180s off of the jumps on the sides of runs, but I want to try them on some bigger jumps.  I would also like to get 270's and switch ups down.

ive tryed a couple of things so far that i find are pretty fucking sick.

rodeo today but i fell on my side after landing it and ate shit on the smuggs quality landing and now my hip hurts

2 in pretzel 2 out almost all the time

this weird trick where one of my skis is switch and the other one is reg onand i pop onto to a rail. and i got it with a 2 out a couple times jea. im waiting on a vid so that it doesnt sound too much like a claim.

truck drivers (just in straight airs but i was never able to get them until this year)

legitish grabs in my spins

thats about it smuggs hasnt made decent sized jumps yet so i cant try much new stuff on jumps
