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 barrelsHopefully 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.
Damn it son, I just got back from 3.5 months in whis! Best time of my life and sooo wish I checked on here and rode with you seeing as we are similar level riders (I think haha). Although thats quite a trick list you got there, dont think ive got that many! Keep it up man!
If you want my 2 cents, head out to the wind lip out at 7th to try backflips, minimal consequences since its real lippy and you dont need much air/rotation to land to feet. Thats where I landed my backflips/wildcats, only got super small ones but still happy with them, ill see if I can get a video of one up.
Also, landed my first 3 off a large jump in black park this season, sooo stoked! Ever since I fractured my wrist Ive been shit scared of big jumps but went for it and after a few trys I got it! Cant wait to put all the footage in an edit
^^ Awesome man, can’t wait to see your edit!
I know its small, but its a start
edit: cheers Rider
Yeah dude! Super smooth, stomped it!
You going back to Whistler next season by any chance?
Nice, pretty clean! That’s on my list of things to learn. Was that your first one?
Thanks dudes! Rider I dont think ill be back in whis for a while, have to pay some of this trip off and ive got the aus season coming up maybe ill see you around perisher??
Koper, nah man not my first, but that was my first day trying them, that was probably my 4th try. Surprisingly easy once you throw it a few times, only thing I can say that may help is when you are going for them, commit. Nothing worse than being half upside down in the air and stopping the rotation.. Good luck man
Sick, dude!
In response to your questions, I might do a few days at Perisher but I’m probably getting a Thredbo pass again. That said, I’m not 100% sure on plans yet.
Hopefully catch you on your days to perisher then!

Hopefully catch you on your days to perisher then!

Sick!! Spinning in Dark Park is no small feat. Massive Props
Those 3’s are super floaty, looks awesome… High Fives on that.
Finally I’m able to do a euro carve (albeit not a very good one). Board is Capita Outsiders (demo board).
