Not at all saying I know better than professionals, but thats why first day back I strictly rode groomers, just to see how the knee went. Turns out it rode well. The week after I hit a few jumps, still felt good so I threw some spins I’m really comfortable with. Knee is still feeling really good. Not saying the knee is fixed yet or that I’m right or whatever but I’m trying to take care of myself while still having fun! Seems that not everyone agrees haha.
Just FYI too, Ive been straight up murdering the rehab exercises!
You’re a better judge than anyone else when it comes to knowin ya limits and if there’s pain!!!!!
Often usin a joint/muscle is the best rehab!!!!!
I agree, knee is feeling heaaps good. So good infact that I gave my first backflip off a park jump a go - sorry Oz haha. The snow was super soft and slushy on Sunday so that added to the appeal of trying it. After 2 close attempts I stomped a bunch on the last in leichardt, pretty stoked! Gotta say right now they are the funnest feeling trick I can do, feels pretty unnatural at first but kinda cool at the same time haha. Heres a instavid of the last one of the day - yeww!
Didnt nail the crail but Im definitely keen to keep trying and add it to the list haha.
Smooth flip, dude!!!!!
You are nailin tricks like a tracvks!!!!!
Cheers Mizu! Going to go hard again tomorrow hopefully and if I end up riding leichardt for most of the day I’ll grab some footage of some laps to share with y’all! Yeww!
Really want to throw a backflip on FV but there is a pretty big diff in size..

Haha, sure was mum Youll be happy to know I stayed in leichardt all day
Really keen to ride with any other park peeps ASAP. Always riding with my skier mate and need some other boarders to take tips from, get stoked for etc etc. Any takers on here?? Im a weekend warrior, so letttt meee knowwww!
Not that I advocate him riding park heavily either but have you got in contact with Dylan?
Hopefully im not working on saturday and we can go for a ride, keen to get back into leichardt to hit the jump line, ive been more on rails and boxes the past week being at thredbo.
want to get switch back 5s on lock
Thanks Oz!
Switch back 5s, damn son thats maddd! Yeah let me know if you get Saturday off for sure - I’m pumped!
Edit: sw bs is the hardest spin in my opinion, you are crazy! Yeww!
Switch backside spins elude me. I can 180 and 360 on flat terrain, rollers etc., but the thought of throwing switch back 360s, 540s off park jumps boggles my mind a bit. I need to work on switch backside. It is by FAR my weakest spin.
Will be down this Saturday, keen for Leichardt!
