Improve my mountain skills to the point where I could do some more adventurous trips next year.
That and find some new spots, enjoy jibbing around the place and seeing what I can come up with.

yes ,
and to the guy above its not a lazy boy , its a cork 3

I choke the commitement to 7 beacause you need to go almost inverted as to in a cork 3,
i just carve in the lip and when i take off i just look at the lip of the jump than take it around

I dont know if that made sense or if you understood what I'm trying to say

If not I'll take some videos over the next weeked

last few weeks of last season I learned to hit boxes sideways. so this summer I got a tramp and built a summer setup:

I can hit some boxes on my unnatty side, can front/blind 2 off box, and just got front 2 off a rail.

This year: rails unnaty, small features switch on, switchups, blind 2 off rails, getting more comfortable with steeper down rails, and 2s on to a box would make me happy. for jumps i want to consistently land 3s, try 5s, backflips (easy on tramp), and lincolns
