Soaring High Over Mt. High

     After 2 weeks of waiting, I got to go to Mountain High yesterday, the day after Christmas. It was soooo much fun. They have the new airbag up now and that is where I spent a lot of the day. Since the liftlines were really long, and the Airbag line was just me. The only problem with the airbag is getting back up to the top of the run in to drop again. They don't have a tow rope or snowmobile or anything to take you back up, so you have to hike everytime. Which is still better than waiting 15 minutes to get 1 run. The lip to the airbag was really poppy and got super steep. I saw a couple people hit there heads on it. I thought it was awesome though. The rest of the park was awesome but the airbag was the highlight. escpecially the people working there. They were super nice and gave me tips on how to flip tricks easier and cleaner. My airbag season pass has literally already paid for itself already and I will be hitting this bag everyday!!! For the video I posted. It would be a lot of work to edit it down so just pay attention to the first part. Pretty much after I land in the bag, the rest is me getting off the bag and trying to get the GoPro off of my helmet.

Probably The Most Progressive Day Yet

        I was back up at Mt. High this weekend. They have finally made a decision and gotten rid of the halfpipe. Now it is a really fun jump line. 2 medium small table tops. The park is exploding and I didn't necessarilly learn new tricks today, but I did some stuff I haven't done in a while. First of all, I finally landed some 50-50s on some banked boxes. For some reason, I never hit banked boxes because I always end up falling off. I figured out the problem... Speed. If I don't have enough time to fall off, then you won't. Also, those table tops on "pipeline" were way bigger than I normally go, but this guy asked if I could hit them and I instinctively said yes. So I had to hit them. I had forgotten how much fun it was to hit big jumps and I ended up hitting those for the majority of the rest of the day. I just had really good flow today and seemed like I couldn't fall until my second run on the 2 table tops. I took WAY too much speed into the 2nd one and landed at the bottom of the landing on my butt. Other than that it was a great day. My dad was sick today and had to work so he wasn't there to film, but I will definitely have a video next time I promise. By the way, thank you SOO much mom for taking me and sitting in the lodge while I rode. You are truly the best.

Hey there!

     What up!!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been really busy. So a couple of tricks I've learned since my last post... Backside Flip and Kickflip Rock 'n' Roll. Since this is the time of year when the sun goes down earlier, I haven't had much time to skate. But Snowboarding is always fun. Mt. High has some new jumps up that are really fun. Plus I learned a backside noseslide last time. Mt. High just got like 36 hours of snowmaking, so I'm excited to go up tomorrow. I will probably post a video or something next time. Peace out!
