personal goals 1. get a solid back 3 off the last jump on front val 2. get front 3s in leichardt 3. attempt a backflip

I didn’t add this one as I don’t know if I will be ready this year.. Or even next but I REALLY want to learn tame dogs (front flips) they look sooooo fun!! (like a cartwheel without hands!!)

i totally agree, they look so fun, its just hard for me to commit to throwing my body over the nose of my board that close to the gound! ha shut eye

> More days on the snow than last season ( I did 8, which makes 13 days total ever)
> More confidence with switch riding
> More time in the park
> and getting a 360 down would be nice

this was me last season swizzy, advice i can give is back yourself and dont be afraid to go for it. also, although there is more risk i found it easier to attempt off bigger jumps as you have more air time to bring the spin around - just my experience. and if you havent watched the snowboard addiction 3 tutorial i can recommend that too cause it helps!


forgot to add 4. i want to get enough footage over the season to make a short park vid

As always, more confident at switch, 180’s of jumps and boardslides.

I started getting them at the end of last season after Pirate day but could always get better.

Any sort of grab, shifty or 180 off a jump.

You’re missing out till you have ridden with us. But stay away from that Ozgirl member… I hear she rides 2x skinny snowboards at once or something…

Great idea for a thread, Rick. I will probably move this to Rider Progression shortly.

My goals:

- To get a minimum of 10 days on the snow.
- To stay injury-free.
- To keep progressing.

Just to get to the snow.
This is the first year in 15 years I haven’t had a season pass.
Last year was the fewest days I’ve ridden (25days) since 1998.

But like always I’ll be there for DOTS. I’ve never missed DOTS.

I guess that’s my only goal -  freshies on DOTS.

My main Goal…. Get to the snow this season! Fingers crossed…

If that involves a day trip, give me a yell and I’ll share the driving/fuel etc.
