My memories of the 08/09 season will probably be:     like anyone cares.


1. That I went to Japan
2. That economy is really a mess
3. That Nips learned doubles
5. That edit of Jackie Kling
4. That Mt Snow went all Park on Carinthian

Industry
1. Loss of Saucer Boy and the loss of an Incredible up and comer, Travis Seegar
2. Mainstreamization of freeskiing; Dew Tour, simon's win at x-games through fan support, a new ranking system for pro skiers, new sponsors
3. Converging gap between pro and am
4. Unreal younger skiers; Jib academy
5. The rise of the South and the mid-west; these kids ride park all the time and it is finally showing.

Personally
1. Saucer Boy and Travis
2. Actually riding in the park consistanly
3. Actually doing some filming and pputting together a couple edits
4. Jackson Hole
5. Spring days with the Gypsy Caravan
