So I have been in Val Thorens for 2 days now, and so far its waaay better then the last time i was here.
The weather is good and the park is pretty sweet aswell – I’m just really amped on riding an other park then the one I’m used to riding, which might be the main reason why I like the park here so much. The Val T park has alot of potential, but the big jump line needs some quite serious adjustments before its really good… the rails are fun though.
Since the jump line wasn’t working out too well for anybody, after a while we decided to only hit the last jump which was the best and the most safe jump.
Jeg started working on my corks (since they are more inconsistend then going out and picking up chicks…) and it felt like they are getting better… for the 37th time.
Today (on day 2) I pretty much only hit the last kicker all day long…
I started out doing corks again, and I stuck em every single time so I started getting pumped on doing it unnatural – its been on my “wanting to do list” since august…
I did a unnaty 360 I hadn’t done that trick in like 2 months, then a unnaty 5, which ended up being corked – stoked, haha. Then unnaty cork 7, which I slammed pretty hard… I tok a step back and did a couple more unnaty cork 5′s just to get comfortable with the take off and rotation. Then I went for the 7 again, and stomped it 6-7 times in a row… so hyped on that trick because when it comes to skiing, corks are the mother of all bitches! (I have been doing them for 4 seasons, and still I don’t have any of them as safe tricks)
I’m filming a little bit here and there so hopefully I’ll have a little edit one of these days… and I keep forgetting to take pictures, so this post is all text and boring – I know…
Happy easter.
