Today, was my first day on snow. My local hill opened up. In the summer I learned backs and switch backs on ramps.
Well, I was planning on waiting to go to COP to try them because there stuff is always perfect there. But I've been thinking about doing it ever since August. Like in my head and stuff. And today, I just saw the table my hill had, and I thought, "Man I wanna flip today."
So I got to the table, and that feeling up top looking down, sketch. Super crazy butterflys and I had crazy weak knees. But I visualized it. Went down and did it first try. A back. I was so insanly stoked.
Sick adrenaline rush, best feeling EVER! EVER EVER EVER! I was so happy. It was awesome.
Then later on in the day I tried a switch back for the first time ever.... I like came around, landed, but I was super forward so I ejected and broke my brake lol.
But wow. TODAY WAS AWESOME. BEST START EVER to the new season.
Skiing, is, awesome.

Carving switch turns on the first day out with no pain whatsoever since an ACL/MCL replacement feels amazing.
...especially when you've been told you couldn't ski this year.

for me it's not the landing for the first time it's the landing smooth and knowing that you stomped the bejesus out of that and everyone saw!

I did a 270 disaster on a rainbow rail today, and I got the adrenaline rush feeling for the first time in two years. Hell yes.

um, it all depends on how you learn tricks. some people just huck the shit out of things til they get the rotation around and are able to hang onto the landing (usually backseat), you usually get it quicker this way, but are way less consistent. i am the opposite, i like to try and make all my tricks smooth, even as i learn them. i probably eat shit a lot more than most before i finally get it, but since my body learns the tricks with the right body position, it doesn't take too long before im able to do variations of the trick (grabs and tweaks, sometimes more rotation) and keep it smooth. just beware if you do this, you'll probably underrotate stuff in the name of style, so be prepared to take a beating.

The most stoked I've ever been was after my first backflip. I don't know why those feel so great, but they certainly do.

They do, it's a drug called Adrenocrone. And first backflip is probably one of the best feelings ever. I think it was my favourite "first" of all the tricks i've learned.

backies are made for spins out of rails, not for jumps by the way.

dude.
last year, my friend and I went to a different mountain (labrador) for a rail jam and we hit the same S rail over and over and over ALL DAY. and finally at the end of the day at like 9 o clock, neither of us had gotten it yet, i finnaly did it and i was so fucking happy. i was litterally rolling on the groud in pure happyness. we counted on the car ride home how many times we hit it (we taped most of it) and we each hit it around 100 times. that was one of my best memories of skiing.
