The season is fast approaching, perhaps pre-season shred has already begun.

SO what did you accomplish today on the mountain? Land a new trick? Shred a sick line? Something else cool? Post it up here!
 
I'll be posting some pics of me and my friends shredding my backyard set up as soon as we are done building it! (I still have like a month and a half until my season starts)
 
It's just starting to snow everywhere so hopefully once some collects on the ground and not just the mountain i'll be getting all up in this bitch
 
I'll be living through you gals. I won't be state side until january. But I want to see all of you guys killing it in all shapes and sizes to get mah froth on.

Does this also include throwdowns of the after dark kind? Because that is a non-existent part of my life aswell. So i can live through you guys there aswell.
 
no snow here yet but I learned to do 50-50s on skateboard this monday. :)

feels like it's gotta benefit my skiing somehow.

Rail jam yesterday... lol

I decided it was a good idea to ride even though my ankle is still fractured and this happened.

It got me a free pass though and a hat.
 
Hiked a tube today with some friends! Was a blast, felt so good to grease a rail again and get over those first rail of the season nerves! SO excited for the rest of the season now!
 
Placed in my first real comp, first time I haven't been the only girl competing. Got my blind two's. I've been skiing trees way more than I ever have. Doing a freeride comp at Stowe next weekend for the hell of it. Any of my VT gals going?
 
Guys I got my lip on blind 2's tho

and tried but not quite succeeded yet with 2's on. and in general sending shit and adding style.

My first day back on snow and I tried some back swaps! The landing is really rough/not really a landing buttt I'm still happy to have the general idea down! I'm gonna try them on maybe a longer&narrower box sometime soon!

That looked more like a ski slide to switch 5050. Get your head all the way around so you can keep your eyes on the end of the rail

Oh yeah for sure. I was still looking over my right shoulder at the end, so I gotta work on that. My friends were telling me to think of it like an early blind 2, so I'm gonna try that next time!
 
Nice Mingg! Just gotta do it on a longer box or rail and maybe a little higher up so you can land forward easier but you got itt.

A little sloppy but here's a lip on front 2 from a few weeks ago.

Ouch! I've been there! Make sure you turn your head on that swap so you'll be looking at the end of the rail. Can't wait to see the edit you guys are making.
 
I've been trying to grab with my 3s [video]https://www.newschoolers.com/watch/762703.0/attempting-to-grab-3s[/video]

Also, I rode an s rail out for the first time this week.
 
Slid a corrugated unnatty yesterday! First time I've ever done that haha.

Started by coming on 50-50 and like shiftying to a grind and then started popping straight to a grind. Felt sooo good.

What would it be called if you ride on to a tube 50-50 and surface swap to switch 50? Is that just a surface swap or does it have another name?

props for going unnatural mingg. I have yet to attempt that. It seems super scary tho hah. I don't know about the 50-50 surface swap thing but what you said sounds good xD
 
Shoutout to Ellen aka pizza libre for winning the smoking aces slopestyle comp at big sky this weekend!!!

is a switch 1 off a jump anyone else's favorite trick?? also update: still terrified of rails
Click to expand...

If we had non giant jumps to practice on I think that would soon become my favorite too. Unfortunately the low snow here means they didn't bother building a small/medium park and just put all their efforts into making the large park usable. And now even that park is closed completely due to low snow. I only got one month of park riding in this season. They say they're going to try to re open if they get more snow but it's not looking good.

On the upside I feel way more comfortable straight airing 40footers.
 
Today was the last day that our park was open so i tried my first front and blind 4s. Only really got around to 360 on my best attempts but I'm still stoked! I haven't even really spun much since hurting my knee so it was a really awesome feeling!

ahhh! I bet! I built a summer set up last summer and I plan to take full advantage of it this summer! I'm so excited! And usually people wouldn't be so excited about not landing something but fuck I am so happy I tried it instead of going until next winter wishing I would have!
