I know this is not thread worthy but i just cant explain my level stoke. When i landed it i was like "awww shit umma pro" And i heard some kids on the lift like "ughhhhhh sonnnnn". Next time i get out im going for backflips! And just last weekend i landed my first switchup on a flat/ down rail. Next time i ski im going for backflips hell yea.


Sorry im just amped on how much im progressing this season. Oh and heres a scene from the best show ever just cuz.

@OP have you landed 7's yet? because if not they're obvi the next step after 5's. just set it a bit more and rotate a little faster and you'll come around for that last 180 no problem.

Tried 2 720s yesterday. On my first one I ate shit hard. Got to 630 and landed sideways, caught an edge upon landing and whiplash brought my head down to ground super quick and hard (may have a very mild concussion, idk). Went back up, tried another. Got the rotation down but for some reason both my skis popped off. Will try them again Friday. I was wearing a back protector though so I think it will be easier to spin without it for sure!

trying to learn hand drag 3s. i've landed one, not really corked. a couple of my friends do them really well, they are such a sick trick. definitely worth trying, and surprisingly easy.
