Haha I know I was. When I first started freestyle (180's) I thought doing starfish off the sides of jumps for rails were cool. I told all my friends that I could do a "half misty" off a wall ride lol. I would always say that I got 6 feet of air and stuff like that. Keep in mind we only had one jump that was about 5 feet before we got the snowmaking upgrade but it's still really sad. Who else was a gaper?

he's actually really good, but I told him not to spread eagle on every air. That's what he came up with... but I'm not lying, he is good on the steeps, the moguls, and everything except air.

Last season was my first year doing park but I've worn baggy clothes and bandanas and stuff for years of non park skiing just because thats how I dress off the mountain anyway (minus bandana).  When I was 4 I totally rocked the overalls though.

you guys dont even know....

my first year snowboarding i had snowpants with built-in fucking KNEE PADS and a racing helmet, with carrera goggles

but it was ok, because my first board was a capita midlife, and i was rocking a 25 inch stance pretty hard
