i spent an entire season learning to 360. it was really the best feeling to accomplish a trick that eluded me for so long. after the 360 everything came a lot easier so id count it as my largest progression.

the season after my injury i only dared to do 360's, and perhaps 5's. Did one fs swap on a pipe and ate shit.
This season i got back both bs swaps, both fs swaps. learnd switch on bs 2 off and got back my 270 on from the side on tall rails. learnd blind 450 and fs 450. pluss some other small stuff.

On jump i got back cork 7,9 with various grabs and learnd cork 10. didn't have the guts for dubcork, wich hopefully i'll stomp this season.
didn't get back sw 7-9 though wich i was really bummed on.
And learnd rightside 3's with grabs

Pretty good season but didn't give all of my guts out there...hopefully this season will be the time of awesome progression^^

Not being able to hit a rail to hitting almost every rail in the park (c-rails are a motherfucker), front swaps, flatspins(?) on boxes, and I was just learning how to 270 off at the end of the season last year.

This makes no sense. You have stated that you started the year trying lip slides which is a rail trick and finished with cork 7 which is a jump trick. For all we know you could have been doing cork 7s at the start of the season and still doing lip slides at the end. You cant compare a rail trick to a jump trick as people can be good at rails and bad at jumps or vise versa...

started my 1st season with 180 and ended it with a 360. A season later and I can do backflips and barely a flatspin. Not as good as the others claim but good enough for me Id say.

I had a friend who went from being able to land 180s 10% of the time, to learning 720s and 2outs both ways. Not much style but a crazy ass mofo.

Don't be ashamed of your progression, tell us how much you stepped up your game this season, it's what this thread is about :)

540's and backflips and sliding pretty much all rails to 7's rodeo 5's and 7's some switch up jazz and 270 off both ways plus hucked mad gnarly cliffs

basically a season out west is totally worth putting a stop to whatever is important in your life right now

So your argument to being a claiming douche is to claim.... great logic moron try and think before you hit reply next time.  I don't care how much you progressed, this thread is lame because it's a pissing contest.  I get that it's in the spirit of progression and skiing but do you go up to other kids you don't know on the mountain and start telling them how much you progressed.  No, because they don't care and it's gay.  Just post your edit and shut up and stop acting like the rest of the teenage idiots on NS.  Stop trying to prove yourself and go skiing.

This doesn't exactly reflect my personal views, but I'm pretty sure to a lot of people, any claimer = claiming douche. Therefore this thread is, in fact, for claiming douches.
