Ahhh, pretty much my last unachieved sporting goal. I have been working and working towards this. Fell a lot last year trying, when I realized I should probably try to perfect the 180 first. I am in that process now, can land some, with varying degrees of air underneath. Might possibly get there by the end of this year, but I am not going to stop trying.

Shovel, I wish I could find someone like you at Mt. Snow. I've always believed its more about knowing what your doing than the size of the kicker. I often see how quickly some people can pull them, and firmly believe that your average S kicker in most terrain parks would be sufficient.

No, but I really want to.

A 360 Jesus combo would be bad ass!

IIRC ishovel had a season pass to Snow this year, until he injured himself preseason. Maybe next year you'll see him up there...

there are a lot of really good people at Snow... i love that palce...

and the 180 doesnt lead to a 360 well.... maybe for confidence, but the motions are drastically different.... try "over rotating" your 180 off a roller and "butter" it around on your tails to 3.....(note: choose hardpack)
