Thought this would be a good idea to get people thinking about what they want to learn next winter and get them stoked for it at the same time. If this is a thread thats already been made I apologize. I just figured it'd be fun.

My Goals Are:
Learn to Spin switch leftside (my natural is sw right)
To do some sort of a double.
To get both way 2 on pretz 2's on an urban rail.
Superman fronty off of a cannon box.
To put an edit out for the superunknown contest and get honorable mention or finalist.
Win a comp or two.
And to meet new people and have the best winter yet!


What about you NS?

I found if you carry a phone or iPod with you when you ski (Everybody does) it's good to put your goals into your notes and check them frequently, it really helps to motivate you.

Heres mine:

1. Clean 540s and then work my way up to 720s and possibly 900s.
2. Stomp frontflips instead of landing backseat.
3. Learn 270s on and actual rails and boxes (not grommit park shit)
4. Learn another invert, most likely flatspin 3s and misty 540s

Have a ton of fun and ski every chance I get!
