Went to elm today and its safe to say for jibbing, it was the best park I've ever been to. I learned a bunch of variations on 5050s (such as 5050 to boardslide pretzle front 2 on a flat down rail) and there were maybe 30 people there the whole time we were riding. Props to elm's park crew, those guys are always out there shredding and fixing jumps and landings

elm creek park reserve. its a little hill in maple grove with a bunch of rails and boxes and some smaller jumps. admission is cheap ($15), and they have a rope tow. pretty sweet.


on a different note has anyone been to lutsen this season? my family is making a trip up after christmas and im curious what it's like.

Not much snow here in co, kind of disappointing. The park is really sick though. And I'm not complaining about being in the mountains

Went to Powder Ridge today. Their jump was actually nice and the best I have hit in my years of going their. But of course that would have been too good to be true. For some reason it wasn't open for all to hit but the snowboarders "testing" it said we could hit it. After hitting it a few times and doing some rodeos and falling a couple times, one boarder says to me, "hey bro you gotta start doing tricks you can stomp every time, your washing out our landing doing those circus tricks and going too big, so you gotta stop with those cuz your ruining our landing." 40 degree day dude, landing will always be slushy. And I was going far past where they were landing anyways. Typical Powder Ridge boarders.

Note to all: Don't go big and do circus tricks, you will ruin landings for snowboarders.

lutsens park is pretty iffy. one five foot jump, one sticky flat up rail, a bunch of 3 foot wide boxes, and a battleship which is actually really fun. nothing beats riding a little pow though

14 days on the snow to date. Past couple weeks: snowboard- almost landed 540, stomping 3's, learned to boardslide urbans, 180 on & out of boxes, 270 out of this cannon... lots of progress. Skis- 180 on & out of boxes, and a couple new grabs of which names I don't know.

I've actually been somewhat pleased with Hyland's setup the past week, and spirit has really sucked. Someone should let me know when they get their big jump line up.

Trick wise, shitty day. Seemed to have lost more tricks than I learned. Although I did have a white trash serial killer from wisonsin after me, that will make your fucking day

I got grabs on my 3's via snowboard.

and I did a 180 on skis, and then a 270, and I can kinda almost sorta not really do a 3. But I'll be stomping them at some point no doubt.
