How much did you progress this summer?

For those of you who have summer setups or went to camps, what new tricks did you learn? I didn't get to go to any camps or indoor skiing facilities but I built a jib setup in my back yard, and I went from not being able to slide a rail to being able to k-fed so I'm pretty fuckin pumped about that. What about you guys?
 
I skateboard in the summer...but hey, I got my heelflips and varial heels down! congrats on the k fed, that is such a pivotal trick in skiing
 
Thanks man! and congrats on the new skateboarding tricks. I was gonna try to learn this summer but I'm too lazy.. maybe next summer
 
kinda gonna sound like a claim but I also learned FS and BS switchups, FS and BS 270s outs, both natural and unnatural. Can't 270 on my summer setup without my edges slipping out and eating shit :/
 
This summer I progressed my bank account which will help in the steeze department come winter. And other than that, I just tried to keep my drinking level where it should be so I won't miss morning skiing due to hangovers.

Pretty successful summer I'd say.
 
Really? The first looked like a rodeo 5, the second looked like a switch underflip 5. I could be wrong but it looks like the first one you threw the spin sideways + a 180 and the second one was halfway between a backflip and a lincoln + a 180 which is an underflip 5
 
went to momentum and got the balls to actually try something other than my stock tricks. 3's and 5's on big jumps and tried going upside down and shit.
 
I went to hood for a day while visiting family. Attempted my first 7( 3 tries) and couldn't land it. Would have kept trying but they closed:( now I can't wait for the season to land one!
 
Got all 4 standie 180s on a longboard, got standy speed checks up too about 10-15 feet, and glove down pendys up to 30-35 feet.

Havent really tramped much but got a couple cork 9s and 10s nand learned a cool new axis not really surer what to call it.
 
I went from not being able to cork on tramp to cork 3 up to 9 with various grabs. Also got flats and rodeos to snow at hood.
 
I hit a donkey dick while I was at hood. And O started the summer only able to hit my rail and now I can kfed, front 270, blind 270, dub switch up, and trucker slide
 
only skied like 3 times but got my handicap down 8 strokes and got 60ish rounds in, and learned backys and fronts and cork 7 and mistys and other n00b tricks on tramp
 
I made a summer jib setup but I wasn't able to progress as much as I wanted to for two reasons. 1. My parents made me take down my setup after I was done everytime and is a PAIN to set up by yourself. 2. My rail is only 7 feet long which is WAY to short to learn that much new stuff.

But nonetheless it's skiing in the summer so it's still always fun
 
I don't understand how people can afford to build summer setups and go to camps. I have a job and can barely fill my gas tank.
 
My setup only cost like $110 bucks so not too bad. I know what you mean though there's no way I'm going to camp anytime soon
 
im sorry but you must either have a really low paying low hour job or have a gas hog diesiel because i worked all summer and came out with 1500 and im in higschool...
 
I had to pay for half of mine, I am pretty lucky that my parents would pay half though. At camp there were kids who went for more three sessions and didn't have to pay anything, which I think is really dang spoiled.

But I know that me and a lot of the kids I went with had to earn it. Most summer jobs pay enough to get you a session at a camp though...
 
Well I recently tried hitting a summer setup and couldn't do anything. Sooo I think I've lost quite a bit over the summer.
 
Ya you're probably right about summer jobs....too bad I'm a couple months too young to get a job this summer. Next year tho

But respect to the guys that earned it and payed their way to camp
 
Learned corks on trampoline and talked about a summer setup with me friends but never did it cuz they are a bunch of dipshits, also I quit football and sat at home everyday
 
Still in highschool as well, work for minimum wage at dunkin donuts. On top of gas I have to pay for my phone, eventual college, car payment, car insurance, and ski gear. After all that 1500 every couple months is pretty much nothing.

Didn't do anything skiing related. I don't really care enough about park skiing to make a summer setup or anything like that.

Went downhill mountain biking though and was hitting some nice tables on my first day. Lots of fun.
 
Went to hood for two weeks, learned bs and fs switchups as well as bs and fs 270s out, though couldn't quite get kfeds lol. Played on tramps and diving boards a ton, got cossack fronts, misty 5s and 7s. Fun summer for sure
 
i learned how to slide rails but it was my friends setup so i didnt get to hit it as much as i wouldve liked
