Hit my first street spot yesterday!

That first hit looked sore but this is so sick. I'm 35 now, and still hit street now and again, so kinda? Old enough to know the only age claims that count are at this end of the scale at least!

Thanks! You're old enough to know what's at stake for sure. I'm skiing my fifth season so the mental game is way different than for someone who's skied park for their whole life.


The first one was definitely the worst, and fortunately enough it wasn't as bad as it looked. Walked away with a bruise, most likely due to wearing crash pants. An inch or two higher and I'd probably have a fractured hip now.

Reported this for being a stupid age claim thread.

I cant wait till we see the report on how skierman accounts for 56% of all reported posts

You da man!! And 5th season of skiing too, that’s impressive! Even if you have down rails down pat, urban is always a different ball game… props!!!

tominiemenmaaBeyond hyped!

I'm close to, if not over twice the age of an average NS'r / freeskier, older than Tanner Hall, and only a year younger than Candide Thovex, so it feels kind of a big deal.

Any other elderly street senders around?

do you hit rails in the park too? for instance, down rails with a flatter 'urban' lip?

Reported for being obvious.

This is so epic

Fuck yeah love to see this

dope

Yes. I'm comfortable hitting (almost, for example the huge cannon rail on the Ruka XL will most definitely will forever be above my level) every feature in the park at Ruka and a bunch of smaller resorts in Finland (Sveitsi, Sappee, Himos, Vuokatti).

- Can straight air XL kickers and do a left 180, switch right 180 & left 360 with a few different grabs on larger M / smaller L lines, and an occasional left 540 on M
- Looking forward to unlocking a left cork 360 (kinda started to unlock this in late spring but haven't found the cojones to try this season) & a proper switch right 540 (done a few mega sketchy ones on small jumps)
- Can do a proper switch right 360, right 180 & a sketchy right 360, semi comfy but sketchy zero spin on small jumps, will try to improve these this season
- Can hit every rail feature, large majority of them also with unnatural foot forward
- Can do natural lip on onto tubes & easy rails, unnatural lip on onto tubes, switch right lip on onto tubes & easy to medium rails & switch tails on onto easy tubes
- Can do a decent backslide on tubes & easy rails
- Can do all four 270's out & occasional left blind 450 out, probably unlocking 1-2 of the remaining three 450's out this season
- Can do a left 270 onto tubes with somewhat high percentage of not eating shit
- Working on switch right 270 on with a few successful tries, probably also trying to unlock a right 270 on this season
- dreaming of having the balls for unlocking switch rail tricks & switch left spins on S lines from unnatural switch stance
