well i started for real last year... in one day i went from just doing straight airs off decent jumps. to 180,360, and 1 540 in the same day. add in a few boxes and rails and i would say i had a really progressive day.

I have found it ALOT easier to progress when you session the prk over and over for like a day. When you go there for a while like for a few days you wont progress as mcuh. So i understand lots of progression in the park if you ski it alot. If i ski park all afternoon i progress.

ONLY 55 days!?!?!?
thats a hell of a lot,
my typical winter in like
10 days, maybe thats why i progress slow.
and out of those, most are shitty mountains like catamount and belleayre. i only get to good places (vermont) for about 5 days a winter, where the jumps are big enough to do stuff off of, ughh!
i HATE living so close to nyc

I have been skiing park for approximately 15 days(not consecutive but spread out) and I can do 3s, 1s, half cabs, flat boxes and small rails. Also, I can do almost any straight air grab except for lui kang and japan air.

it´s easy to progress quickly if you have a great shaped park every day..

i also went skiing over 50 times, but i havent a great park so it´s not easy but i think so i ride bc good..

55 times??? That is insane, for me i am lucky if i can make it up 20 times. But whatever, i am still perfecting my 360s and just trying every rail that looks possible, so i try to progress and get better each time i ski, and push the limit!

i try to learn a new thing every day i ski, whether it is a new grab or trick or anything. but i also try and make everything i do smooth.

and i agree with andrew, its all about attitude.
