Is there anyone else out there that's on newschoolers most of the summer watching all the videos of people going huge. I've realized I should of pushed alot harder than I did this season. Now i can't wait for next season to start when I should of tried all this shit when i had the chance. There's alot of tricks I wish I had tried and now regret not trying. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same situation I'm in and just sit around watching ski movies all summer long.

i think we all feel that way

its because you see videos of people that are 1 step ahead of u and you realize you could have been at their level if u pushed it a little harder..but its all good cause there is always next winter

yeah like i've been throwing huge corks off a cliff into water, and have a whole new level of confidence with the trick. I wish i could just flashback to mid feb. and hit a kicker just to see if i do truly have it.

Yeah dude i regret me not going big. I only get up to the hill a few days each year and this time im making everyone of them count. Ski to the fullest, dont hold back. That shall be my motto for this season

hah..yeah i always think about that.. the thread creator put it so well, thats exactly how i feel... if only i could push a little harder.. concentrate.. forget about fear..


and not only those kind of regrets, but for the kids that were injured this season... we all regret that one thing that hurt us.. i do anyway.. but i wasnt gonna hit the rail.. i really wasnt.. i was having a hard time with it earlier in the day.... it was my last run of the day.. my sis REALLY didnt want me to go another run.. i didnt know why haha.. but i ended up taking another run..hitting that rail.. and it resulted in knee surgery

funny how those things happen

same as me man. And i've realized I'm not skiing to impress anyone but myself, and personally I think a 40 foot 360 looks a hell of alot cooler than 100 switch ups on a box. But i also, for some reason, focused mainly on rails this season.

I dont regret anything from this season, because i skied the most i ever have. Who cares if i didn't learn 9's. I have more confidence going into next season, both with tricks and with going bigger.

how can you have regrets you were skiing. obviously there are people doing stuff way sicker then you.(unless you're corey v. and you gap from rail to rail.) just fuckin ski and try shit next year. no regrets

i went from the first day with my bro's being all physced from trying a zero spin to easy sticking 3s and attempting 5s. Yet my rail and box progress went no wherre because of my knee to rail incedent. Next year i wanna work on rails a ton more and jumps a little less.

throwing a couple 3s and 1s over a 45 footer definately shot my confidence WAY up considering i was super scared beforehand and once i was in the air it was like, the easiest thing ever. god damn i wish that wasnt the last day of the season
