Yeah, I probably should quit being a tight ass and just spend the creds to get them. I am going to check out some 32`s that have that foan build up for narrow ankles. If that`s a no go, I think I am going to go for those. If you remember they place, let me know. I am going to check with Steve at Hillcrest; he may know.

My wife just began snowboarding last year (after skiing for years), along with my oldest son. So as they have interest, I hope to get them on the mountain and developing their skills.

For me, I just want to go fast, tear it up, and have a good time. I also want to make a real effort to try to break free and get more time on the moutain this year.

How wide is your forefoot or is it narrow all the way through? For as much time as you spend in boots I wouldn't recommend 32's you'll destroy them. I'd check out Celsius instead.

^ Might want to call it jibbing instead of grinding there buddy. Also you don't carve pow.

Switch. I must perfect switch.
Improve my butters
Consistently land 360s
Start trying 540s
Drop this one cliff at my local mountain.
Bigger variety of tricks on boxes
Improve my rail riding (boardslide flat rail, 50-50 round rail)
Go boarding as much as possible
Get a bunch of friends together for a massive trip
Save for a video camera
Make an amateur snowboarding video with some friends
Stuff myself full of poutine

I know this may sounds weird, but I find boardsliding round rails a LOT easier than 50-50ing them. There's just more space to balance. Good luck!

My goals for this winter are
- Dont get hurt
- Ride more than last year
- Ride the Face @ Jay

Hopefully #3 doesnt cancel out #1 which would cancel #2

you're gonna try 360's in your FIRST full year?

g/l man.

This will be my 3rd season, and my 1st season didnt really start until mid-january, but anyway...

- pick up my 3rd board; Rome Agent or Slash
- practice my jibs, and boardslides (I'm scared to death of catching an edge while boardsliding)... 50/50's are no-problemo
- make 180's smoother and more consistent (got 'em last season)
- FINALLY learn to 360
- just getting used to hitting jumps faster and getting more air
- hopefully make it out west again, and get some more deep powder experience.
