Tell me what tricks you guys were able to learn this season. I put backflip, both 270s, and lipslides on lock.

cant remember the tricks I learned because I've posted them elsewhere too many times

but for real, I've just pushed the size and style of what I do compared to the previous season, along with plenty of new tricks. Going big is much more satisfying.

3 most satisfying tricks I've got on lock are back 4, 2 on to switch (mmmm they make me feel sexy) and lip 2s. What I want to work on is unatty front 2.

I. Can't. Do it.

I just recently got bs 270s on and off. I also got bs switch ups and I'm working on surfaceswaps now. For jumps I haven't progressed a ton but I'm going to work on learning some new tricks before the end of this season. I have a 180, 360, japan, critical, mute, tailgrab, and blunts. On Friday I'm hoping to get 360s with grabs and a 540 down. Overall I would say its been a great first season and I'm looking forward to next year. Sorry for the wall of text haha.

Also first winter in the park for me, learned 360s on an actual decent jump, front 2,front swap, some sketchy blind 2s, un natty blind 2, right and left 180s, unnatty surface swap to ski slide 180, can hit just about every kinked rail urban on in the park starting to try to spin out of them, really want to try swaps on kinks, jump game needs a ton of work, have large goals for my jib game as well. My season wont end till September, then it turns to hiking.

I bought my first park setup last summer, and went all out this year, just because I couldn't stand being the noob in the park. Well worth the bruises, can 2 out both ways, lip on, front switch up, and 360 consistantly. Learned a ton of grabs, and just had fun. Stinks the season is coming to an end, I feel like I'm at the point right now where progression is coming easier

Backflips are super fun and easy. Just make sure u pop at the lip. When i first did it i started my rotation like halfway up this tiny jump. I caught my tips and just landed on my chest. As long as you commit to the rotation you wont get hurt

It mightve helped me that there was this skier babe at the top of the jumps so i tried it and fell and she rode away with a guy that was hitting the bigger jumps

I worked a ton on rail tricks, I can get kfeds, Brittanys and ellens on most rails. I got unatural cork 7's, as well as switch 5's on big jumps.

Also learnt natural misty 7 and worked on grabs in 3's, 5's and 7's.

Tried to do a rodeo 7, and it did not end well.

This season has been such a blast for me. I've learned front 2s and 4s and lipslides. I've got 3s on lock and I hit my first down flat down last week too. It's the best feeling to learn new tricks and get out of my comfort zone.

really stoked on my progression this year, i got 2s onto a lot of stuff and blind 4s out. one questionable 2 pretz 2, also ellens and brittanys. on jumps i got blackflips, wackflips, clean 3s and 5s. hoping to throw reg and switch rode 5s over spring break, and maybe cork 3s/5s. also got dub backies into pow sorta (did my first single backflip earlier that day too /claim)

also just been having fun in the "backcountry." sent a lot of inbounds/sidecountry cliffs and floaty 180s/360s/backflips over natural stuff

I didn't really progress much this year. In late November the week after the jump line was put up I got shit whipped on a underflip to a concussion and me throwing up in the lodge. Two weeks later on a better jump went for a cork 5 and save thing happened to another concussion. Two times in a row so I said fuck it and only hit rails for half my season and dialed in my own style so pretty happy about that. Really I just learned to be more creative and find new lines and transfers. Haven't gone inverted other than cork 3's and 5's.

At the beginning of the season I could only do 360s and no rails. I practiced on the trampoline during the summer and now I have cork 7s, cork 3s, 540s and 720s. My rail game is still weak as balls. I can blind and front 270, sometimes front swap and front surface and Im starting on 270s. but i just broke my arm :(

Learned this season -
Rails:
- lip on
- lip on front 2
- sw on
- sw on front 2
- sw 2 on
- front 4
- kfed
- backslide
- disasters
- tail and nose butter on
- blind side spins (2's, switchups)
- britney



Jumps:
- underflip 5's
- switch 1, 3, and 5
- grabs (blunt, japan, trucker, stale)
- more comfortable with spinning bigger jumps

Overall pretty happy with what I have learned this season. For the last month or so I hope to get 2's on to down rails and either rodeo 5 or cork 7.
