Progression Thread

Slowly been sending bigger and bigger backflips recently and plan on throwing my first dub rodeo 7 some time in the coming weeks if this storm cooperates and we get some deep ish snow.

Switch 3 yesterday—very stoked. Think I can probably start trying 5s now.

Pardon the very excited friend's commentary (or don't, I think it's great)

Taking off switch is scary tho ngl

That’s your first one??? Cause goddamn that was a sexy ass switch 3. And like you said you can def take that to 5
 
Did two sketchy blind 2s the other week! Then went back up excited as hell to do them again last week, but ended up eating shit twice in a row :(

In the process I did some damage to my ribs so now I’ve gotta take a break for a week or two. I just wanna be able to lock onto any rail both ways, consistently!
 
This season i have overcome my fear of 270’s on. (Hurt my hip when i tried to learn them 3 years ago) i have gone crazy with the railcombos. Gotten more confident with 450’s out both natural and unnat. And started attempting a few backside 630.

what’s next: gotta actually do tricks on jumps. And get more confident with 270 on

Fuck flat down rails they’re so easy but I’m too much of a pussy to actually stick it.

i have never tried any kinked rail. What the fuck do you have to do for that? I feel like its so easy to lean too far back and say goodbye to your hips.

I’m assuming you have to change your weight with the kink, but I wouldn’t know. I’m trying to hit a disaster on it first cuz I feel like that’s easier

make sure your stance on the rail is fairly wide when you hit the first kink. otherwise you'll get bucked backwards most likely
 
Slight corkage

[video]https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/993570/VID-20210215-135644877-mp4[/video]Next run I brought it to a jump 2x the size and apperently it was more of a legit cork. Bigger jumps are definitely easier to do 3's on.
 
Trying to commit to a 360 lol

I have skied 11 years and this is my first year of doing some park

But i just landed a 20ft cliff onto steep ice so im stoked on that

Pretty stoked about this 180 shifty. Not really difficult but a really cool feeling trick

Crashing with the cam guy! 180 was better than the 3. Keep up the good work.

Apparently the mountain got rid of the jump that I was gonna use this week so that’s my excuse lol. Did a couple more lip on b2s today tho so that was cool

Took me a good 6 tries. It ain’t pretty but it’s a make

finally went for bslide safety on that t rail during a photo shoot the other night. haven't gotten the photographer's dope angle of it but got this Iphone shot from the back
 
Got front swaps on elbow rails. Its incredibly satisfying which I was not expecting. I did some really nice kfeds today too. You know it was good when two experienced snowvoarders go up to you and give your props. Learned nosebutter 3s on knuckles too.
 
My hill put in an up rail and I got a clean B4

Always kind of shuffled them before so this felt good
 
Finally snowed a bit here in st louis, built a janky little drop in/pvc setup. Was able to put together a back swap and sketchy front swap blind 2. First time for both!

Got the only trick in skiing on lock and also k-feds, the video i got of it though was a shitty attempt however. Been getting front 4s off a big cannon rail and man are those fun

Sexy misty 5
 
Hiked this challenge rail for too damn long yesterday. Not as clean as I would've liked off the end, but it's a make in my book

Hiked and landed unnatural kfed first try plus some other new tricks, praying for all 8 before the season ends
