For those of you who have summer setups or went to camps, what new tricks did you learn? I didn't get to go to any camps or indoor skiing facilities but I built a jib setup in my back yard, and I went from not being able to slide a rail to being able to k-fed so I'm pretty fuckin pumped about that. What about you guys?

kinda gonna sound like a claim but I also learned FS and BS switchups, FS and BS 270s outs, both natural and unnatural. Can't 270 on my summer setup without my edges slipping out and eating shit :/

This summer I progressed my bank account which will help in the steeze department come winter. And other than that, I just tried to keep my drinking level where it should be so I won't miss morning skiing due to hangovers.

Pretty successful summer I'd say.

Really? The first looked like a rodeo 5, the second looked like a switch underflip 5. I could be wrong but it looks like the first one you threw the spin sideways + a 180 and the second one was halfway between a backflip and a lincoln + a 180 which is an underflip 5

I made a summer jib setup but I wasn't able to progress as much as I wanted to for two reasons. 1. My parents made me take down my setup after I was done everytime and is a PAIN to set up by yourself. 2. My rail is only 7 feet long which is WAY to short to learn that much new stuff.

But nonetheless it's skiing in the summer so it's still always fun

I don't understand how people can afford to build summer setups and go to camps. I have a job and can barely fill my gas tank.

My setup only cost like $110 bucks so not too bad. I know what you mean though there's no way I'm going to camp anytime soon

I had to pay for half of mine, I am pretty lucky that my parents would pay half though. At camp there were kids who went for more three sessions and didn't have to pay anything, which I think is really dang spoiled.

But I know that me and a lot of the kids I went with had to earn it. Most summer jobs pay enough to get you a session at a camp though...

But respect to the guys that earned it and payed their way to camp

Still in highschool as well, work for minimum wage at dunkin donuts. On top of gas I have to pay for my phone, eventual college, car payment, car insurance, and ski gear. After all that 1500 every couple months is pretty much nothing.

Didn't do anything skiing related. I don't really care enough about park skiing to make a summer setup or anything like that.

Went downhill mountain biking though and was hitting some nice tables on my first day. Lots of fun.
