270 on.

It wasn't that it took forever, but it was by far the most painful trick I've ever learned.

One day at high north, all of us decided to learn 270 on. The jib in question was a super simple wide thing made of steel but at least 8" of girth to make landing a cinch. However - my body decided that on the first shot I'd do 270 - with hyper commitment - directly to my kneecap.

Straight commit on takeoff to full body weight directly on the kneecap. I skied away off that first one moni joke in tears. I had to ski to the lower lift because I didn't want any of my homies to see me crying. I've never felt pain like that.

Rolling in the second time, the exact same thing happened.

It took four shots of 270 to kneecap before I got it. Each one more painful than the last.

The moment I landed it was basically one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment I have ever experienced in my days on this earth.

There was tricks that took longer, but none were as emotional as the 270 on.

def 270 on. just the fact that you pop go over the rail, then spin fucked with me. I would always try and spin onto the rail and would end up tip or tail heavy. It took me forever to finally get the right feel.

missing the rail and tacoing or hitting your knees is brutal

I spent like 80% of the summer learning handplants. Not very difficult to initially learn but I wanted to do them better than I was doing them so yeah. I spent like all day everyday lapping the QP till I could do them well. I also feel like I have to relearn rails every week so that's a fun one too.

2 on front 3 swap pretz 2 for sure. Almost went insane trying this on the setup. Persistence is key.

Urban on is jumping onto a rail from the left or right side rather than straddle. its the proper way and the only way to do it for most of the more difficult features in the park.

900. By far. My first 1,3, and 5 I nailed. My 7s took a few tries... But that extra 180 from 7 to 9 took me like 50 hard falls. I broke 3 sets of bindings in the month I was trying to get it down. I just couldn't get there. When I finally got my first one, it was all worth it. Smiles for days.
