Today I learned sw rodeos - did them all day. I’m really stoked on the fact that I finally have a sw 5 that doesnt look like crap! Now I just need to get a couple solid grabs in there…

Just realized steffen posted an edit from yesterdays skiing even though I didnt want him to post my crappy – not grabbed – tricks… but oh well, here it is:

Today was the first day I started skiing somewhat decent, so I’m really looking forward to what will happen at breck and keystone from now on… hopefully I will even get some okay footage along the way!

For some reason my mac wont connect to the internet, so I’m gonna have a hard time posting every day if it doesnt get fixed…

Till tomorrow,

HJ

PS: I just got my GoPro camera – look out for some POV edits one of these days!

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.

I haven’t exactly stomped this trick yet, and I didn’t grab it, but I tried it 4 times got around 3 times and landed it clean 2 times! I’m pretty stoked about this one, since its one of those nasty slopestyle tricks!

Now I need to start hitting bigger kickers with cab spins so I can get a solid grab in there… hopefully I’ll have this one ready next week when the big show goes off!

CAB IS SPINNING “SWITCH UNNATURAL” (for everyone who didn’t know)…

Other then that; I’m having trouble with my “slopestyle” tricks (sw 10, rodeo 9). Last week I pretty much landed them every single time, but now they are giving me a hard time… hopefulle I’ll get those dialed tomorrow.

and yeah, still no decent shots to show yet so bare with me…

It’s been a long and tough day…

The Sun is beginning to hit the park most of the day, which helps alot on pushing the riding.

Today was the first day in 2 weeks without wind, so i decided step my game up a little bit, and go for the tricks I want to do in Laax in a couple of weeks…

I did both my cab 7 (switch unnatural 7) and switch 10, but the grabs aren’t solid enough yet, so I’ll have to work on those. then I went for the rodeo 9 I’ve been planning on learning. I stomped it first try, and got a solid mute on the second try… pretty stoked on learning a whole new trick I haven’t done before, instead of just the usual relearn.!

I’ll try and get some footage of my “comp” tricks one of these days…

Have a good evening
