pushing forward

Had a great day today snowboarding. It was good weather, I was with good people, and I achieved a personal goal while riding today. It took all day and my legs are burning still but I successfully landed a 360 off a kicker and it was a clean landing too. All day I practiced getting the mechanics of the spin down by popping 3's off of the banked walls, which for me is a whole lot easier to do because of the momentum. As well I ran through the trick in my mind picturing exactly how to set up and spin. After several failed attempts and many trips sliding down the mountain in a cloud of powder I finally just did it.

Landing this is no different then what is needed to achieve any of my other goals. Determination, perseverance, and the drive to go further and be better then I was the day before. is an attitude that I have carried throughout my life.
