Ocean11 0 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Go for it zwelgen! I want to get air anywhere but in the pipe, for this year at least. Pipe and rails can wait till next season. I want to do a few grabs, however lame. Link to post Share on other sites

nekobi 0 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 hey zwelgy- how's that goal coming along? Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Goal completed!!! Went up to Nozawa feeling shit after a night on the turps with Nekobi and Barok and was slushy but not unenjoyable (if that makes sense) went to the pipe and it was soft and nice and cute guys to chat to. After a few lame runs I stood at the edge and looked hard at the pipe and it came to me. Fear is what was really holding me back. Fear of falling on my head and having my brains spill out and fear of F-ing up my body. Then I realised Id seen lots of people fall on their heads and slam and they were fine. Did the db visualise trick, got into the zen and just went for it . It wasnt anything huge, just a few cm but it felt good, it felt natural, it felt easy. So did it a few more times until I couldnt hike that damn pipe anymore (Nozawa needs to sort out the lift situation there) and now I feel good. Conquered the fear and now will just get better. Also I dropped in from the opposite side to what I always have. It felt much better, more natural for some odd odd reason. Anyone else like that? dekimashita. BIG Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Is nekobi going to catch some air this year too. Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 I'm still hoping to find a resort with a good cheese stand on the slopes. Link to post Share on other sites
Will Lee 0 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 1) Get back into jumping and catching some air in the park(and not worry about reaggrevating my right knee)...check. 2) Get that nosepress down on the box...half check. 3) BS Indy 180...work in progress. Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 fattwins- i've only tried the pipe once, so i dont think i'll get any air this year. but i do want to ride out a jump. yeah, i suck at the park Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 i got some accidental air out of the superpipe at dyna, but that was only cos it was big and fast (and wicked fun). i havent been able to repeat the feat, and the pipe was closed on my last outing, so it will have to be a next year goal for me too. i got some ollie 360's down though and thats fun. i tried to take them to the jumps but thats appears to be miles away.

snowboard_freak 0 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Well done zwelgen! Hitting the pipe is one of the goals i have set myself for this coming season. Along with a few others. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 Jumps are all in the mind. get your air balance dont rush it. A good straight air still looks cool. tricks come with balance and practice. Im praying that dynas big pipe is still open. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Good advice there Fattwins. One of the best tricks I've seen is a really high air with a sort of up and down leg shake. Makes the duck boys laugh a lot that one does (and me). Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Good straight air still looks good is a good thing, coz it's all I can do decent enough right now. Link to post Share on other sites
cd97 0 Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Get the most out of the park is my goal. Then train and become fit in the summer season. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I'm hoping to get up to Gassan this year, even though its not supposed to be much cop. Link to post Share on other sites
