Progress on the slopes

Hey
I know most of you probably don't care but I finally learned how to do clean smooth 3 tail grabs, zero spins and slow 1's.

Some of you might remember a while ago when I posted about my hill and the park (or lack there of) where I live. https://www.newschoolers.com/ns3/web/forums/readthread.php?thread_id=186815&
Well I sent some emails, done a bit of bitching, and finally made it on the park crew. There were only 5 ski patrol people doing it before, and now me. Soon as a group of boarders saw me shaping their jumps they all jumped on the band wagon and started help. I'm lead park patrol now which is sweet.

Today (first day on the job, only pays free food) I set up a 10 ft box, a 15 ft rail and a 18 foot booter, where I learned to do 3 tails.

Anyway just wanted to post that. How is everyone else progressing?

You are a perfect example to everybody who whines about their park, a little work got you what you wanted. That's awesome that you get to work on your own park, have fun with the job!
