I am currently trying to learn some park riding and building up some confidence in straight airs and basic ride on 50-50s.
This photo was taken on the first jump of the beginner terrain park at The Remarkables, NZ yesterday.

Pretty stoked, that after my 2 week trip, I can now ride switch a bit better (still nothing like regular…) I can back side 180 off small jumps and natural features, and by jumping on flatland, and I can butter (got to about 6 rotations yesterday and had to stop because I got dizzy haha) I can also tail press around corners and steer while doing it now!  I did my first box, and first park kickers at piper too!!:)

First day of the season yesterday. For whatever reason (might be the new board) my switch riding is better than ever, still can’t carve yet but turns are more fluid now compared to before. Did my first backside 180 off really small side hits and on flat grounds. Getting more comfortable hitting side hits both backside and frontside hits and also more confident in boosting ollies off rollers.

Lack of snow in whistler this season has seen my park riding drastically improve. I’ve got a bag of new tricks I’m super stoked on!!

Straight air on large size kickers
360 indy grab off medium kickers
shifty both frontside & backside
Double air grabs - melon & tail / nose & tail
backside boardslide 270 off easy way
Frontside boardslide
Frontside boardslide to switch
50-50 down rails
backside boardslide down barrels

Hopefully be having another booterville session soon with the new snow to try and nail that backflip in!


End of season goal - backflip a small jump in the terrain garden.
