Spring! Are you progressing?

I feel Spring is the time to truly hone your skills and learn/develop new tricks in the park. Conditions are consistent, parks get soft, the weather is more enjoyable, and the vibe is more friendly and community based.

Tell a daily tale of a new trick you learned in the park:

I'll go 1st. Today I learned how to back lip disaster, into pow, next to the park, with my backpack on. Stoked. Not the most stunning example of what this thread is for, but hey.

I finally got the balls to try my tricks on the bigger jumps in the park. I found out that it didn't hurt that much to eat shit on the step up at bachelor, so i did some 1s and 3s on it yesterday. Super stoked!

I took the opportunity to try and clear the biggest hit on I park. The one most of the way down before the hip and stairs. Came up 3 feet short. I had enough time in the air to call myself a stupid idiot before impact. Need a guinea pig.

I decided to quit straight-airing bigger jumps, and spun some 3s over the big side of the second Rose City table at Meadows. Felt awesome to spin slow with some good hangtime!
