So I'm feeling pretty good landing 3s and stuff and had binge watched Coach Trifes videos for the last 3 days, was feeling very confident and this 11 year old kid saw me at the top and was like "are you gonna throw a backflip?" so of course I had to. Told him it was my first one and he said "make sure you commit" great advice kid
Anyway I stomped that shit and it felt so good. Stomped the next 2 and then sent it on the bigger jump and over rotated, still landed it. stomped clean after. Why didn't I send it sooner is my question
yes videos are coming soon fellas that's the point of the second part of the post
How should I travel with my ski stuff by Amtrak? Was planning on carry on bag with my boots and whatever clothes/gloves/socks I can fit in it and checking my skis in a bag.
life tips?

I’ve taken the Amtrak to logan airport a bunch of times with my whole ass travel setup before and no one has ever said a word to me about it. I have a douchebag that I can put my skis poles boots and gear in that I just lug on to the train. I just throw it up on one of the overhead things as soon as I get on and it’s chill. Other people look at me weird like they’ve never seen a person travel with skis before but the people who work for Amtrak have yet to say anything

I wrap most of my clothes around my ski gear for padding. Rubber band brakes up and ski strap skis together. Think about where you place your poles. I've seen them get snapped/bent in travel. I try to carry on sunglasses, a hoodie and gloves. I also have packable rain pants that are a decent last resort so I check snow pants in my bag. Obv carry on boots.
