Coming to an end

OK so competed in my first comp since my knee reco a few weeks ago at Key Stone, it was the Peanut Butter, Volcom Rail Jam. The set up was a flat barrel a down rail and an angled box. There was a massive turn out of riders forcing there to be 3 heats for open men's, I made finals which I was pretty stoked on, except I had to leave before the final because I borrowed a car and needed to return it before 3pm. The next day was a slopestyle comp at Breck for Spring massive the course consisted of a flat down box to a 25ft to a 35-40ft jump then a long down bar then a kink rail. My first run I kooked it and fell on a cab underflip 720, some reason I couldn't land my stock tricks so I mellowed it out and went front 360 to double backflip and stomped it. Didn't make top 3 and there wasn't a best trick division...gay. The results arnt up yet.
Spring is defiantly underway here in Colorado, Breckenridge has now closed along with the other mountains.
Today we all started cleaning the house and packing up our things, I'm heading to Boulder on Wednesday since our rent runs out to chill out for 9days with a few friends. Here's some photos of whats been going on lately.

Road Trip

After spending a week in Tahoe with Tyson, Belmore, Woods, Ash, Maddie, Madison and Caitlin at Caitlins house we mannaged to get a bit of filming done for our moive and cut a few laps at Northstar. Most days we headed up to Donner Pass and set up features and filmed, we set up a sweet wallride and a pretty big booter off an old railway line bridge. We also hit a wooden kink rail that backed onto the lake and got a few good shots on that. It was a pretty dope week hanging with mates for spring break and filming. Here are some shots. Enjoy.

Fun Times

We were about to head home, I was waiting at the bottom of the pipe for Belmore to come down when Michaela said come do some hand plants on the quarter pipe, awesome idea have'nt done handplants in ages. Soon enough everyone was hitting it with us, Tim and Henry were getting shots and Belmore was filming it, the weather was perfect. Here are some photos of handplants, rodeos and some other kinds of spins.

DOUB RODEO

Another sunny day at Brecks perfect park!
After sessioning Freeway (the bigline) I headed over to the last jump in parklane and decided it was time to try a trick i've been thinking off for a few days, Double Back Rodeo. First attempt went really well I got the rotation perfect, I just landed really deep and blew out on the landing, same thing happend again second shot. Just gota take it to a bigger jump tomorrow. Staty tuned.

DOUBLE BACKIES!!!!

After calling it yesterday that I was going to get a double back flip today I headed up the hill with Dhanu. The weather was epic, blue skies and fairly warm weather which made it pretty much perfect conditions apart from one factor, I never though the snow could be that quick and be a bad thing. It made it a bit of a challenge to get the speed right and made overshooting look like it was going out of fashion.

After back flipping every single jump in one run I was feeling good and decided it was time.
Back flipped the first jump and came into the second/last jump with a fair amount off speed and went for it. Got the grab and kept rotating then stomped it taking it deep on the landing. So stoked. Ended up stomping all of them and made them cleaner each time. Epic day.
I'll get some footage and chuck it up asap.
Peace

New Stunts

So over the past two snowboarding days I've managed to learn two new tricks. One being a Backside Rodeo and the other a Switch Backside Rodeo. I had a session at Woodward with a few of the boys and learnt a double back rodeo off the ramp into the foampit. Cant wait to get them down on snow as well as a double backflip! It's a big step up though.
