Morewind takes it for a long jump loop off a speed bump plus a dialed endo just as the sun was setting. Despite mega wind, it never cleaned up, and ramps never really showed. So weird.

Time to up the ante on the GOTGH thing. If you are working on your first loops, keep 'em coming! If you can already fwd, time to MTFU or WTFU and attempt some backies. If you can already backloop, time to try some pushies or cheeserolls. Basically this is motivation to get out of a rut and try something uncomfortable yet stoke inducing. The 'Dood would approve! Maybe even list the loops here that you are wanting to nail so others can support, heckle, cajole, or tease you into glory.

My goal is to try at least one pushloop or cheeseroll (as conditions allow) every session (not to mention cleaning up my hit/miss ratio on backies). Another goal is to actually get out sailing again to accomplish said first goal.

The Golden helmet was looking for a new owner at CB today. There was talk, and some hope ... but, it didn't turn into that gonzer loop type of day. And, Paul's loops don't count cuz he's a veteran. So, I'm going to nurture it awhile longer. IV tomorrow afternoon?

Huckfest moves to CB tomorrow. The golden helmet could be yours to claim. WD -> pushies? Kus, WSF -> fwds? me -> watching for the new owner of the lid.

Ah shucks it was nothing really. I'll be on the lookout for the next recipient! I'm thinking it could be an Udder aerial, but who knows.
