haha jeez that sounds rough. I think i was like 11 in that picture. Made a 2 foot kicker in my backyard and just hucked it as hard as i could, first time i caught my tips so i just got more speed the second time and barely made it. Pretty much pro status

Last day of the season a few years back, hadn't been skiing long at all, kinda just leaned and hoped, took me 8 more tries, in several of which I hit my skis and head on the lip a couple of times. Set it as avatar a while back and hate it now, but realize changing it would be confusing potentially. #1wp

I wish I could say I've gotten smarter since, but it doesn't seem to be the case
