Wizz 11 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Mine is to improve all-round and be able to hit any snowboard park I find with confidence, something I've not quite been able to do so far. Also, try to get out there more than last year, and be better with my weather timing. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Lotsa weekday riding. Jumps where I don't land on my head. Dry underpants. I had considerable spasticity of the powder skirt last season leading to wet underwear. I'm going to try tucking the powder skirt into my trousers this year, and wear a substantial belt. (Good topic Wizz! Positive thinking and image training - way to go) Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 TS, as I understand it, the 'objectives' mean things over which you have some control. Are we to understand then that you'll be carrying a slingshot in your pocket for controlling the smoking of the other guests on the lifts? All power to your arm... Link to post Share on other sites

akibun 0 Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Most big one is to just become a better snowboard. And maybe meet some of the people from this Sjg Forum would be good too. Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Start getting some jumps on a more regualr basis. Will be hitting the 1/2 pipe at Falls Creek in September (the chef at the lodge has threatened to drag meo out there), so I hope to be getting some air in the pipe and also get some tabletops nailed.

NoFakie 45 Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 FS360 = a frontside 360 One complete revolution spinning clockwise for a regular rider. I find it easier spinning this way. Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 More steep and deep more often with a strict regime of crowd avoidance. Do a backcountry riding /avalanche awareness course and ride safely. Bigger jumps/drops, improve switch riding and general techique, and maybe just maybe have a go at the pipe. Link to post Share on other sites
