Well i havent even attempted the kicker yet and i cant do even a 180 so i think my goal for the shred will be either front or back 3 off the 30ft’er smile

Not fall in love so I can put all my heart into the shred instead of a relationship.

I wouldn’t mind getting my 180’s down better. Also having the balls to go off the 30ft jumps again.

And to start acting my age (old) instead of believing I’m still in my 20’s. That means not taking on those younger, fitter lads in push up-comps and arm-wrestling so I can sit back being cranky and bald while drinking at a leisurely pace. I might shower more than once a day, grow a goatie and use a GoPro so Azz isn’t reduced to tears.

I’ll draw the line at dislocating my shoulder wink
