I've been in Breck for exactly a week today, and everyday has been better than the last. Being over-seas is something easily taken for granted, and I am determined not to let my past, and future travels be this.
On my night of arrival here at the TSC house I saw the footage filmed from that day, and instantly realised the standard that everyone was at, the rate at which everyone was progressing, and the rate at which i needed to progress to be competetive with my housemates: and the outlook for me looked bleak. Everyone is at such a high level, and I was still stuck on my Mt Buller standard of sketchy 5's and even sketchier 7's. However I am thankful for this drastic improvement from everyone, as it has pushed me to strive to improve to the level everyone is now at. Thanks to this chasm of skill difference, I have managed to learn 3 new tricks and got 2 more tricks on lock in the last week.
Since I leave on the 22nd, the pressure is on for me to perform, and get my stuff first time everytime.
To everyone that reads; thankyou, and dont stress. peace

- Gday. My name is Jack. I'm 17 years old and have been doing this snowriding business or whatever its called for about 7 years, about 3 of which have been spent in the air doing some crazy maneuver or on a rail like on those x games... I love snowboarding rowing hockey and AFL footy. Stay classy san diago.
