well, started off with some good jibs at a 17 set handrail and then ride my hill a bit to get my switch better and just cruz cuz my park wont open till at least end of january cuz it sucks! well my buddy then offerred me a ride to boyne mountain in michigan, about 2 hours away so i went for 3 days. when i was there they just got some park stuff up and going so i was gettin my stuff back and havin fun. my rails were coming to me so fast that i was doing tricks that i wouln'dt dare try last year. my switch tricks were like butter and it was going good. the jumps were not bad but not great due to grooming of them and bumping landings and poor kick. i managed to get some 5s and got some steeze on my fs 540 rodeos and just enjoyed it and tryin to get steeze back. found out there was a contest and free and you can win some money and a board tune up kit for best trick and it was on rails and i was like sick, i'll enter its free and money would b good! so i entered and was doing bad in the warm ups and everyone was lookin dam good so i was like i dont stand a chance, these guys been riding for 1 month + and this is my second weekend. contest came around and i tossed down a sick line (noseslide on flat down flat, gap fs270 to down on A frame, and then 50 to bs 180 out on roller coaster rail) the guy told me to take a break n i was the first guys in the finals so i took some runs to keep warm and maintain everything but nothign hard until the finals. in the finals they took the person with the best line out of 2 and i was second to go and i did noseslide again to gap to board on teh a frame and then 50 up to fs 180 to switch 50 to switch bs 180 off the rollercoater rail and everthing perfect with steeze, it was my winning line i think. my second line was tailslide to switch n then switch gap to board and then switch 50 fs 180 out roller coaster. i ended up coming first and taking best trick at this american contest and was jacked. but then i go home to no park and nothing at all n just ride and end up catchin a death cookie(ball of snow from teh groomer) covered in pow and twisted my knee and messed it up! so i'm chillin for a bit until my knee is good and then go back out and help set up my park since i'm terrain park dude buidling n designing it. hopefully my knee gets better
