These are my goals for this season.  Comments, advice, tips, etc. are welcome.  And if you want, list your goals for the season.

-540 (hopefully w/ grab)
-360 w/ grab (last thing I was working on before I left camp)
-Get comfortable landing switch off tables nsturf (make 180s less awkward)
-Misty 5 (seriously, I can do it)
-Frontflip (maaaybe)
-Hand drag cork 3 (maaaybe)
-Switch-up on a rail, not just a box
-270 on
-270 off, frontside and backside
-Combos on rails, or at least boxes (switch-up to 270 out, for example)
-Every rail in Stratton's new "rail garden" on lower Kidderbrook/Middlebrook/whatever.  Those things are big.  And scary.
-Butter 3 (have to get flexier skis first)
-Hand drag 3 over knuckles (long shot)
-Tail tap 180 over the rock gap in the new park (easy)
-Nose tap 3 over the rock gap in the new park (much harder)
And on my one trip out west:
Find, jump off of, and stomp a cliff or drop of at least 20 feet (previous record is about 12).

What can I say, I'm driven.  Let's hope for no broken bones!

Mid-late season bump, what has everyone landed?

I have had about zero days in the park (I had an issue with my employer, aka Stratton Mountain...yeah...) so I have only managed to ALMOST fucking 270 out in my backyard (couldn't get enough speed), get comfortable with my 180s, stomp out some threes, and aaalllmost 5 (didn't get it around fast enough); those last three things happened at my local golf course.  But I'm going up in three weeks for four days, and I plan to land—fuck that shit, I WILL land:

-540
-Grabbed 360
-270 out on a flat bar or something
-270 onto a box
-Swap on a box
-Some bigger, scarier rails

And I will hopefully attempt:
-Misty 5
-Front


How have you guys done with your goals?
