Rode with Annie & Forrest at Tyrol Saturday & they had their best park setup yet. There was a big jump that was fun, but a little scary 'cause the approach was steep, short, and the knuckle looked painful, so I was practically bombing the approach to make sure I cleared it. I didn't try to grab or anything 'cause I was a little scared going into it, but it was fun! I think that's the most air time I've ever gotten. Only hit it twice though 'cause the 2nd time there were holes in the landing. They had the wide flat box out, so I spent 1/2 the day working on my tail presses & the other 1/2 trying to learn a nose press. Then Forrest had to come along & show me up, he ollied on to a nose press then did like a nollie to a tail press...jerk. Annie started tail pressing the rails. Oh, and my tailbone, shin, and knee were all still very sore from last weekend's wreckage, so I was trying to be careful. I only fell once Saturday, but my ONE fall was at the end of the box, and my tailbone landed right on the lip of the hole at the end of the box. It HHUUUUUUURRRRT! There was a roller too that Sunday they put a nice kicker on & made into a smaller jump. Sunday Forrest had to work so it was just me & Annie, though we ran into Coco & Brandon & later on Sans. We used the smaller jump to practice on, I worked on my methods & Annie did her 1st nose grab. I kept working on my nose & tail presses & hit the big jump several times. Last run before they closed I decided to hit the big jump and the box so I could get in 2 things...and I went inverted on the jump. Not on purpose. I thought I was going to land on my head but managed to get my body into a horizontal position and held my head up, and my butt took most of the blow. Annie thought I was dead. It hurt bad, but I got up, tail pressed the crap out of the box, finished my run, and then let the pain sink in. Oddly enough my neck and back aren't that sore today, but my butt hurts!!
