Well Thursday was my last day of my first year in park. Yes i know this will be a big claim thread, but i didnt learn anything worthy of claim so here goes. These are all the tricks i can think of that I learned this year.

grabbed 360s
frontside 270 out (box)
backside 270 out (box)
pretzel 270 out (box)
ski slide (box and rail)
grabbed 180s
flat ground 360s
270 on (wood rail in my backyard)
ride on switch (boxes and wood rails)
switch 180s
switch 360s

Decent first year in park, i know i suck but theres always next season!!

That's pretty good man, I have been skiing park for 7 years and I still can't hit jumps switch too well haha. Why did your season end so early though?

last year i couldnt even cork or hit jumps switch. my biggest spin was a hucked 540..
this year i got switch cork 7s and rodeo 5s. left cork 9s and unnatural cork 7s . as well as all other flips natural/unnatural rodeos, lincolns, cork 5s.

then for rails the best i could do was hit them and i landed 1 270 out.
this year i got pretzels on hand rails, britneys, k fed, back to back, and blind/ front 630 out..

not too good on rails yet though. im pretty inconsistent.

im working to go to windells this summer to try dubs if i cant get to a big enough jump by the time the season ends..

Park wise- Learned to hit rails that are not flat.

On the actual mountain im way the hell better in powder now, and dropping my first 15 footer. And I guess skinning up my first mountain back in early season.

Second Year of Park..

So far got back my 3's with grabs.
Landed a few 5's.
Blind and sometimes front 270's out.
That's about it hahah.

Skiing powder is a much better experience then hucking yourself on a 40+ foot booter to sometimes ice...

First year of skiing here:

Front 270 off

Blind 270 off

Almost 270s on

1s

3s

Frontflips (off a ledge into powder..)

Not too bad in my opinon. I want to get blind 4s and switchups before the end of the season.

Welp, in the 5 days I have skied park... (its been snowy or ive been photographer)

I can now slide a box and spin on a box. Was hoping to learn a switch up/blind switch up today, but doesnt look like thats happening

did my first zero spin it was very very small... but my skis left the ground.

180
switch 180

almost have 3's dialed

not afraid of step downs anymore but the biggest i've done is like 15 feet

finally hitting the 25 ft table top

Lots of random grabs and shiftys.


I'm feeling pretty good for 5 days of park...

Given I've been straight airing jumps for 2 years now... and successfully did a few boxes last year, but I never really tried doing anything until this year.


I have until May though.. Pretty excited for what I can still learn this season.

Hit boxes and rails switch

Last year i didn't hit an urban style or kinked rail, this year i sessioned an urban style dfd.

Lolz.

I hardly learned anything this year. I didn't get a chance to ski with my buddies that ski park at all, so the only thing I learned are nosebutter 3's, carved 360's (really smooth and ultra cool), carved 180's, some grabs and I can ski switch like a motherfucker now.
I would go skiing with my friends that are really noob compared to me (I'm a ski teacher), so there would be no fun in shredding groomers with them regular, so I just did it switch.
