    I have to say, between me and jay riding with the girls and just totally killing ourselves on every run, and multiple injuries every time i rode, this season was so far beyond amazing. I cant wait to see what next season brings, especially since im a “frosty rider team member” now!!!!so that means lots of trips to exotic locations, like slc, tahoe again, hopefully riding with the man himself, frosty, and having an actual home resort basically in my back yard, i think everythingis going to make for an amazing next season.but with vermont, and lake tahoe on my tab list from this year, i have to say, 10/10. I didnt landmuch, and sprained then broke my ankle, smoked a tree, and had a 200ft vertical down hillyard sale….but the season wasnt complete till i got rowan riding tail presses down a mountain,and a neat little switch backside 180 up down on a quarter in t

    I have to say, watching you ride a board taller than you was hilarious to watch! You handled it wellthough, I was quite impressed on the fact that you could take it straight to a tail press on your 1st try,and held it a good 20-30ft. Kudos!

    bunny-i could have sworn i made a post about your recon, but i dont know if i hit send or it got deleted or whateverbut still, congrats on the purchase! you'll love that recon. its such a mad flexible board. its by no meansa cheap board, one of the only reasons its not expensive is its a rail killer which means it's going to seemore abuse than a high end board, but its cheap enough to replace over and over. take it out on your firstrun and try a tail press, manual, whatever its called flat land and see how easy it is to hold balance on thatthing. you'll find its not just a good beginner board, its a great all around board for certain things when youdont want to overpress a $600 board. i just gave mine away to a younger shredder, but its the same construction build as my manual which i love to death. i almost make an entire run doing a tail press with the nose o

    ride flat base for a few moments to gain speed, then set an edge and leave a carve trench so deep they probably don't know how to ski over it.  LOL.  That'll learn 'em respect!

    my 2nd all time favorite move. the 1st being to just go ahead and set them on fire ;)joke!

    thanks for the info bro! i can understand the spookyness of the method completely, butits the trick i have the most confidence in. and im used to the face down from skateboardinga half pipe, so hopefully it'll just be the riding ill be learning, and my method wont change.i saw this picture online of the most gorgeous method i had ever seen, and it was in a pipe, so i want to try to recreate it…ill have a professional photographer with me thatday, so maybe ill have a pic to back up my sponsorship application ;)and thanks rowan! remind me when we team up to teach you a method 😉
