I know this is gonna get hated, but I just wanted to share the satisfaction of getting a new trick down. I've had a big mental block with doing spins for a long time, and i overcame that today and did my first 3. Im hella proud. What tricks have you guys just locked down?

My first 3 felt soooo good. Hard to explain, you just feel really confident after that.

Congrats! I live for those moments.

There's nothing to flame on you when you're out trying new tricks and getting stoked about skiing. That's why Newschoolers is here.

You live in the 206? I live in Seattle too. Do you ski at Snoqualmie/where do you go to school?

Congrats man, I know how you feel. It took me over a year to land a 3. No matter how hard i tried, I could not get my body to spin past 180. It was one of the most satisfying feelings ever when i finally got it.

Congrats man! Once you have the 3 down, every spin is so much easier. At the beginning of last season I could only throw a 3, and now I'm dialing in my 9's!

3s are fun for a while but fives are sooooo much fun once u get them dialed and it kinda sets u apart from the others just doing 3s

Yeah there are a few. There are some Roosevelt kids too.

But honestly, don't try to make this a competition.

Garfield won Essentially Ellington last year (Number 1 jazz band in the country), number 1 basketball team in the state, me and my partner matt are number 1 seed for state in doubles tennis, and wayyy more.

We go hard.
