I've been lurking all season and am just now getting around to posting. I'm 25 and just started riding in January '12 (moved to CO in '11). I'm pleased with my progress; I've been to my local mountain (Winter Park) 20+ times and have spent most of my time in the park. I'm ADDICTED to jumps and am currently working on stability and control while in the air. I'm throwing grabs, shifties, and FS/BS 1's (off of smaller features). I'm in love with flatland tricks (butters, 1's, pretzels, ollies off of anything and everything, etc). My jibbing needs work... I can 50-50 gapped rails/boxes and am dialing in my FS/BS slides on small, rideon features. When riding to/from the parks I always try to ride switch, and occasionally I'll find a nice open blue to bomb switch. I also try to throw in a few black mogul/tree runs every time I'm out to improve my all-mountain riding.

I have big hopes for my second season. I want to hit bigger features, become a stronger jibber, and have my 3's dialed off of small and large features.

BTW you guys are awesome. I've spent a lot of time here checking out tips and advice. Thanks so much!
