I was stoked. I have been working on 3`s everytime I go ride and last night, I got the courage up enough to try for a 3 off an actual jump in the park. Obviously, it was a small intermediate jump with a small 10 foot table, so it was`nt anything big. The first one, I had to butter the last 45 degrees or so after landing. The second pass, I put a little more energy into it and also increased my speed for maore air time to complete the spin prior to landing. Well, I overdid it and what I actually did was a decent 540! I even landed it and rode out switch without eating shit.
Sometimes it`s the way with snowboarding; you do something on accident and get it down. What I was surprised at is how easy it was to go from a 3 to 5 with just a little more energy, more speed and a slightly harder carve into the launch. I am not a big freestyle guy so this was real stoke for me to do for the first time ever..
