Team Progress Board.
Goals:
Spinning off my heel edge more. I want to spin back 3’s off my heels. Spin switch back 1’s off my heels.
That sounds hard as! i dont think ive ever even seen someone doing those when Ive been riding. know any vids I can look at to see it?
I see front ones off the toes a lot and that looks good. maybe ill try that first.
My goals this season are to: learn methods, starting spinning front side again and learn some new grabs.
I’m so glad to see this thread getting some hits, it’d be dope this season to get some video up. things you’re stoked on, things that are comedy…. I would post something to get this started but to be honest i’m a technological dunce so i don’t know how to.
Do you have drop box? I could post some up for you if you want.
we’re a bit short on progress (as a team) I can’t add anything on the snowboarding side but I did go over the handlebars whilst riding downhill the other day.
Okay I’ll kick it off. (So stoked to be snowboarding again and making progress)
I’ve been lapping the jump lines in the parks recently with a bit of a plan laid out in my head… and a big trick list on my desktop lol.
Thing’s I’ve landed on park jumps this season are:
All 4 180s with grabs
My Indy Front 360s are finally on lock.
All 4 360s (I finally ballsed up and landed some switch backside 360s today)
And the big trick so far is Backside 540s :D (Still a bit under-rotated but I can land them every time now)
I have a few other things I’m working on but mostly just doing the above as much as I can and trying to get everything really smooth now and then I will try some of it on larger jumps.
So come on peeps, what have u landed so far? And what do u want to land before the end of the season?

p.s. how fun are back 5s!!!!!!!
Sick, Andy! Would love to see some footage!
Haven’t ridden at all yet…but am getting my entire snow days for this season in one week from today Fri-tues. Not sure how I’ll go as far as progression in anything in that short amount of time but I’ll see how I go!
Really, really looking forward to the nthn hemi season and doing the whole thing!
Nailed my first backside 360 today off a small kicker at the end of perisher terrain park. As it was my first time in perishers leichart terrain park I also bombed all the booters for the first time. Might try some sneaky grabs & spins next time. Stoked as 
Nice one

So much fun!!
You feel a bit like you’re attached to a helicopter blade, but at the same time it feels fairly controlled some how.
I murdered a couple of cab 1’s in the park in the weekend just gone, I think they need more work although I think I accidentally almost did a cab 3 at one point in the mini park. Occasionally I get what I refer to as spin dyslexia on the approach when I ride in switch, need to do more of it to iron that out.
half cabs are sweet, you can do them off your toes or heels and they’re so good for doing onto boxes and rails, the only 27 I can do onto down features with any confidence is cab 27….i think in sweden they call it the chicken spin…bloody scandies!
I rode a tbar and I am part of the team and thats progress!!
Woooo hoooooo

Woooo hoooooo
nice one! T-bars used to freak me out, especially considering I took one to the head once and had to get stitches in my lip…
EDIT: it was thanks to a rookie error, as soon as I got the wobbles I didnt chuck the t-bar away from me I felt over it, it came out and bam smacked into my face.
Haha Ash!!
I was riding the Happy Valley T and there were a couple of females beginner boarders in front of me (actually quite far in front of me!) Anyway they fell off the T neither let go, the were drag for another tower length with me screaming LET GO, LET GO. They didn’t, So I start screaming behind me, STOP THE LIFT, STOP THE LIFT!
People started passing it down the Tee (lifty couldn’t see us). The girls finally let go, then the lift finally stops, So then I am off the T and screaming ARE YOU OK!
No answer, so I start walking. Still screaming, no answer, not moving. I get on the radio and ask for back up.
No answer - found out later was on wrong channel!!
Then the girls start moving, message gets back to me (still waking up the hill!) that they are okay.
I get a cheer from the crowd and ski back to the bottom to get on the Tee again! LOL
