- Stop being so cautious in general
- Hit the jumps on Northlands dependably (20ft + )
- Start doing street-style boxes and rails
- Learn 360's
- And although this won't mean anything to anyone who doesn't know Seymour, hit Devil's Drop.
*get comfortable riding switch (should be interesting on a NS premier)
*go into the park a bit more, hit more rails and kickers, etc
*get better ridnig in trees - I have a trip out to Jackson Hole planned in Jan. Now an invite to stay with a buddy in Denver this season. So, I should have ample opportunity.
I've already taken a bunch of days off in December (which is our busy season) and pissed off a bunch of people. Screw 'em, I hoard all my vacation time for winter.
Ditto, my co workers also complain, but I work a shit ton for them in the summers except for 3 weeks of primo summer time :laugh: that I schedule off...and the cluckfucks for get I schedule a year in advance :dunno:. Infact that reminds me got to schedule time off for next summer.
- get comfortable going faster
- 50/50 & boardslide rails
-ride some pow without getting stuck ( just learned about binding set back with camber boards)
-20 days in state (AZ)/ 10 days out (CO & CA)
Well if everything goes as planned, this should be the best year yet out of 25.
Got a pass for the first time in about ten years, hopefully I can get 100-120+ days in. A few new decks, a powder board @ a mtn with an avg base of:cheeky4::cheeky4::cheeky4: 1,200cm.:cheeky4::cheeky4::cheeky4:
Landed my first back-flip last year, & my home mtn is getting an Airbag.
By the end of the year I hope to be able to bust inverted shit off anything & everything, not just in the park.
I'm talkin' speed bumps, rollers, downed skiers, everywhere!
Not get injured. This is a tough one. The shit I want to do has inherent risks & the season is long. I've got too much invested in this season to let it go down the shitter.
Plus, there is no way I could sit on the bench, with all the pics & vids that are about to start flowing in here. Torture, I tells ya.
There are many things I'd like to accomplish this season, some pretty attainable, others will be a challenge. I do most of my riding at Mammoth, and maybe a few days at Bear / Mt High
-stay healthy
-dump snow ALL season... or least make it an average year
-there's probably 15-20 lines at mammoth I'd like to ride / survive attempting (avy chutes, paranoids, dragon's back, hemlock, head chutes, etc)
-improve carving to pencil lines
-improve switch to be comfortable on steeps, pow, and trees
-ride moguls with style and confidence
-have at least 1 pow day (rode 25 days last season, not a single one was a pow day:thumbsdown
-ride 35+ days
-improve grabs and add more grabs to straight airs
-polish 1s, add switch bs 1s, and add grabs to 1s
-fs and bs 3s with and without grabs
-avy level 1 course
-take a sip of the splitboarding kool aid

Win the lottery
Switch to 100% e-cigs
Get my GF to swall......ohhhh...you mean goals for snowboarding...
I broke down and bought a pass for A-Basin this year. I have 7 days booked in Dec. and probably do another long trip in the spring, other then that some weekend trips. My goals for riding....
Hike past Land of giants to the lower east wall
Explore the backside of the bay
Quit being a pussy and move out of the kiddie park
Not die
my goals this season? To make it up there for all the deep powder days and to be able to shred as good as I did last season (yeah, it's come to that)...anything else is just gravy.
Thirty plus days riding.
Master the blues.
Hit a few blacks.
Spend a whole day riding switch.
Start hitting some kickers.
Get my wife to snowboard.
Knock back a 20 pk of longnecks in one day and still make last chair.
-god help me but I might have a goal to hit 60mph this year. last year I did 55mph.
-cut through really tight gaps between trees and listen to my friends curse behind me as they fall trying to follow (ok that's my goal every year but it's funny)
-get out every other weekend all season (by far, more than I've ever gone before.)
-land the biggest jumps I see (im used to the small jumps where you land mostly flat. I need to lean forward more on the big ones)
-Get a video camera so I can share what I do with other friends.
Get my switch riding to be as strong as my regular riding. Nothing makes my butt pucker more than hitting a rail switch haha. Oh and show off for the snow bunnies for sure
-Ride some pow!!
-Progress my switch riding
-learn to do 180 better and 360's
-learn to ollie better and learn to ollie onto rails/boxes
-learn to do better boardslides
-get some experience in a pipe
-hit some bigger jumps
-catch some serious speed
-build a jump behind my place so I can jump over a creek (creek gap )
-make a video with my gopro
-overall progress
-#1 have fun
Backflips is my number one thing I wanna get down.
Back 180 onto down rails.
Switch front 270 lip to regular (sounds overly tech but is a trick I always think looks awesome)
540's and 720's of jumps any variations
triple cork 1440s
having fun.
