Skiing with Tim
i took tim skiing with me this time at windham... i took Sam last night and the wekend before i took Adam. so anyways... awesome awesome day at the park. yesterday was good.. i accedentaly landed a 540. i over rotated a 3 but it still came out nice. i was doing descent on the rails and just got used to the park.
today i knew the park well so i could go all out. my first attempt at a 540 was the perfect one. flawless backwards landing and Tim was definatly impressed. second attemp i grabbed safty and the landing was a little sketchy. i almost cleared a 50' table but the run was soo slow i couldnt possibly get the speed i needed. so i had a couple of really hard landings. i messed myself up on a flat to down rail by landing on the rail right at the bottom. i got a nice scrape and bruise growing.
last run of the night i decided to try a 720. i tried some earlier but i could never get the rotation i needed and i didnt think it was going to be possible. so i really really cranked myself around and pulled my feet up. i rotated so fast that i came around for a 900... i couldn't stick the backwards landing and fell pretty good... but it's awesome to know that i can at least get the rotation i need.
