I started to jib last season.And that season i where like oh shit how do i do a 180? xD. This year i have progressed so much. 270 on 360,540 and lots of grabs. It's all because i have been skiing with friends who is pushing you and themselfes to the limits, and not being so scared of the consequences. I hope you guys dont think im a retard who is creating stupid threads but i just felt like i had to. How about you guys? Have you progressed much?  last question was probably a repost....

I think it's more like, when you are hanging with friends and having fun, you learn more and progress faster.  Having fun is the key.  If you are skiing with a bunch of guys with big egos and it turns into a big dick swinging contest, someone is more likely to get crushed. 

TC is such a great example of doing it right.  Andy and Will push each other, but they always seem to be having fun.  Also helps when your crew gets legit stoked for you when you learn something new or do something sick.

I've been skiing alta alot this year and my "big mountain" skills have come a real long way since opening day, but I broke my leg and I don't think it's going to help my skiing too much.

Went from just being able to do boxes to doing most rails.
For spinning I went from 360's to 900's,
And added in cork 5's and 7's.

I've hardly skied any park this year, but i've gotten much better at big mountain. Spinning 1s and 3s off of cliffs to pow and stomped airs way bigger than i have ever before.
