What trick did you just get? What trick do you want to try? This thread is your hypeman. The internet believes in you.

Bragging is very much allowed. Bonus points for pics or videos.

Spring is coming. There's no better time to lace up that trick you've been talking about. I believe in you. Send er!

Bruised my heel really bad trying to 180 an 8 stair on my bike today. Hopefully I'll be back out there before season ends.

Randomly chucked a backflip in the jumpline today while lapping with some friends.

Was pretty stoked. It had been a year and a half almost I think. Wasn't sure if I still had it or was ever going to throw one again. Felt good to send some today. I'm probably approaching a season where ill just stop doing them. Felt good after a season where i didnt ride much park.

ChunkyloverHell yeah!


Was sweet. I knew i had i had it but it's tough to just send something sometimes. I rebuilt the jump line last week and rode them to test them, they rode good and been riding them all week. Figured i might as well. Good to know a few tricks are still in there.

Saw shawn out rupping the snowskate today a bit too.

Also some good skiers and boarders are showing up at crystal this spring. Starting to get some low key hype. Hopefully next year is even better.

I'm pretty hyped that I got my season goals of learning sw 2 on and then sw preztel, and did a few more switch 5s which I had only done one before, still working on grabbing them. Im hyped I did a rodeo 5 cleanly for the first time as well and got over my fear of flipping on park jumps right at the end of the season.

Super happy considering I skied mostly pow and all mountain because my friends don't like park

Lip 2 and lip 4 are two of the most fun tricks you can do on skis once you have them dialed imo

Its been a weird year. Combining low snow cover, covid and unstable snowpack made for a difficult year. This year is the 3rd season Ive skied the least in my life.
Accomplished:
- 3 new locations I have never been
- a backflip off a 40-50’ cliff
- Climbed Ymir peak in 43mins
- a surface switch up on a park rail

For next year:
- trying to stick a rodeo 7
- Waldie Peak
- skimo racing competitions

I sure hope its gonna be better next year

TreyDudskiBeen hyping myself to try a cork 7 all season, sadly I dont have a good jump to try it off and the ski patroller here in southern utah will clip your pass for going inverted... so maybe a miracle

WoFlowzI’ve tried flat spins multiple times. I can’t get to tucking or getting the spin around. I can do it on tramp and I can do it on a diving board. I’ve came to the conclusion that I don’t have enough air or speed and hard enough set


Yoo I just got these down, finally

for me its getting the lazyboys back, havent done one in a while and my last few attempts i came up way short

Yesterday i spun a 180 off a large side hit I've been looking at for a while, really happy about it, especially considering I'd never even jumped on skis this time last year.

Im pretty stoked I helped get some of the kids I coach on podiums this year. Most of the time we're just skiing and taking laps and figuring out whats fun run-by-run, so its cool to see kids buy into that approach.
