since (most of) our seasons are over what are your goals for next year?

mine are to learn tons of flips this summer cliff jumping and learn swaps, 2 on, and 2p2; on the summer setup and when real skiing is finally back bring the flips to snow and bring the summer setup rail stuff to snow. clean up 540°. spin more than 180° with grabs and do more than safety and japan.

I rly rly wanted to buy a HVX200 but my parents wouldn’t let me even tho it was my own money which is dumb ass he’ll. And they compromised and said I can borrow my moms DSLR which is a Nikon d5300 and It’s got 2 lenses like 70 or 75-300mm and 18-55mm and I just figured out how to get fish eye borders with a lense attachment today. So I should be able to film some damn good videos of my friends just gotta buy a Mic and a Light

Get strong as fuck this summer and then work on my bump skiing and 360s next year. If I could land another backie, that would be good too, but gotta put in the work in the gym and cardio this summer.

It’s amazing how far strength will take you, not as amazing as how much I improved from having a backyard full of snow this year

This is one of my goals, I got tons of shitty POV, I need someone to film me this season I’d really like to have a well shot edit I can mix my failures in, wrecks, stomps all of it

my goals have changed to: go full speed ahead with dialing in an original style and not so much learning new tricks. i still want to send a backy and learn some rail stuff but i'd rather have the best style on the mountain with both way 3s, 5, butters, taps, b2s. and also getting into some urban filming. maybe do season edit starts with park and powder and everything then switches the vibe completely and goes urban then post season

what no. i was watching a zootspace edit and saw jake mageau do a nollie frontflip and now i have realized i'd rather do that than a cork 7. and then i realized i'm probably never gonna do either so i guess i'll just try to come up with an original style and just get as steezy as i can

My goals also changed. I will be purchasing a Arc Jacket, become washed up and only do lip2s to switch and back 2s from now on. Add in the occasional backswap to switch. Also cover everything I own in Arc stickers and Arsenic stickers

Good for you I guess. I’m just curious why you were going for corks next season since I’ve only seen you 180

You don’t like them cuz you don’t have them on lock, put in the practice and you’ll love the spins

okay re doing my goals again:

just hit a dfd today so, hit every rail in the park. at least peace park... idk about dreammaker.

i want to do swaps and stuff but i dont care about that too much. definitely will toss 2 on and swaps and stuff soon tho. more worried about being super comfortable on different types of rails atm.

i have a few random tricks i really want to do, lip on frontslide, nollie frontflip, 1p1...

My trick learning days are mostly behind me but I would love to keep some tricks going.

To stay capable I want to do a switch 7, of course a backy and a front flip, and make sure I keep the front 6 alive. Those are the ones I feel may drop off my list if I don’t keep doing them.


So goals: keep what I have and ski at least 15 times.
