to be honest, last year was kinda my first year of park, but i did not focus on it exclusively so by the end of the year i could hit rails and do some sort of swaps on a box but not much. this year however i have focused on park so much more and i have gotten to the point where i can land 5s, do a k-fed on a box and do fs 4s on a rail

I feel like this is a claim thread. Whatever I'll bite.

Last year was my first year ever. I got grabbed 3s, 1s, 5s, frontflips

On rails I got Front swaps, kfeds, both way 2s, both way 4s, and 2s on to boxes and small rails.

I've been skiing for as long as I can remember but only ventured into the park last season.

So my first season i got 360's, safety 360's, safetey and japan 180's, front and blind 270's off, 270's onto boxes, and thats about it.

This season I had some decent progression. For rails I got frontside switchups, front surface swaps on rails, 270 on same way 270 out on boxes, blind surface swaps on boxes, and stalefish off of high boxes. For jumps I got ninja/punch front flips, hand drag 3's off of rollers, and blunt 180's. I suck at spinning on axis anything past 3 so I havnt tried 5's. On trampolines whenever I throw a 7 I automatically cork, which is sick because I can do clean ass cork 7s, but if I want to stay on axis I can't unless I spin rightside instead.

straight airs and reverts. Forget rails.

I was 3 my first season and getting down the bunny hill without shitting myself was my best trick. I learnt my first 360 in 2000.
