BLASPHEMY!!
Sorry i must have tourettes…
The run before I did the 180, I knuckled the jump pretty badly trying the same thing. I thought I had enough speed but I guess it was a bit too slow. Spun the 180 and landed right on the knuckle. Somehow I still stomped it and rode out switch, but my lower back took such a beating. I felt it straight away; knees and back took the full impact. Not wanting to finish the day that way, I went back up and did it right. That said, I was super sore at the end of the day so went to the chiro. He said it was going to feel worse tomorrow (which is does haha) and to take a couple of days off. There’s no way I could ride today but I can’t wait to get back out there.
Anyone going to watch the big hip/spine jump tonight? I’m going to watch the finals at least. That jump is a monster!

I know he is a two planker but Aussie Russ Henshaw is competing
That particular event above was snowboard only. The skiers have a big air contest which I think Michelle is dragging me to.

It was a pretty gloomy day out there today. Low vis, lower than usual temps, sticky snow etc. I went up for a few runs this afternoon just to get back on my board and see how the back was feeling. I don’t think I’d want to go off any jumps or anything right now but it felt fine to carve and bomb groomers. Not much to report today but I’m looking forward to stepping it up over the next week.
Great shots Chantelle - love the one on your flickr with the bass player in the foreground

I finally got to test the 2013 YES Greats with Now bindings. Took it up for a few runs today. Mostly carving and buttering around to try get a good feel for the bindings for a review. It was pretty sticky with low vis up top but still decent cruising. I did a few top to bottom laps. First impressions were really good. The board rides really well and the bindings felt great. I’ll be putting updates in the Now Bindings thread and I will eventually write a review after I test them extensively over the next few days. I have this setup for a while so I want to ride it a lot more before giving any recommendations.

I am really interested to hear your feedback! That combo could potentially be awesome.
