I know this is not thread worthy but i just cant explain my level stoke. When i landed it i was like "awww shit umma pro" And i heard some kids on the lift like "ughhhhhh sonnnnn". Next time i get out im going for backflips! And just last weekend i landed my first switchup on a flat/ down rail. Next time i ski im going for backflips hell yea.


Sorry im just amped on how much im progressing this season. Oh and heres a scene from the best show ever just cuz.

I havent really gotten much snow yet here in good old nova scotia. Ive been focusing on just making tricks i learned at the end of last season smoother and grabbing better. Once we get a jump that isnt scary as fuck here Im gonna try some flat 5's too! progessions dope!

for some reason this really resonated with me, as it's totally true.

Im going to take this as advice and start trying it out, i mean i do have to fall some time. Thanks for the solid comment man!

Honestly its really simple, my first one i landed on accident going for a 360. All you need is to do it off of a big enough jump. I always tried it off smaller jumps and got hung up in the air at 360.

Today i tried it on a decent booter with about 15 foot gap and just kinda started my turn at the top of jump.

The main ingredients are speed and commitment tho. No wind up is really neccisary.

And yeahhh word, if u arnt falling at all then your prolly not pushing yourself. Last season i was to scared to try anything. Now i hit every single rail my home mountain will throw at me. Still scared about the backflip but im going for it regardless next time i get out there.

advice for backflips: just do it. really, they're so easy. pop and lean back off the lip, it will come around.



landed a cork 7 on my second try yesterday! so stoked. then i got real bad shinbang from overrotating and landing backseat, lol. still SUPAFUCKINSTOKED

more throw back off the lip than lean. but yeah i find backflip easier that 5s. backflips are more scary, but more easy

a little advice bro. land onto the rail with your ski already dipped...it makes spinning soooooo much easier! just found that out last weekend i always tried dipping my ski halfway thru the rail and could never stick the 2.
