We only had a half day today so that we could get some last minute practice on our competition runs for tomorrow, and then rest our bodies in the afternoon.
Today was yet another sunny, beautiful day, and yet again it started in the temperature range of about -3... Fahrenheit. This is equivalent to about minus 20 celsius. These days are extremely hard to dress for as either way you end up being cold/hot at one point.
I had a lot of problems getting back 5 back today, a trick that I normally can get first time every time, but today, it was just not happening. And i needed to get this trick back as it is my first trick in the comp tomorrow. There was one time in particular when I did my trick on the first jump, and didnt land cleanly, but decided to pump the second jump and go for the 3rd. However, half way through my trick i realised that speed was indeed and issue, and ended up knuckling, almost hitting my head and consequently front flipping off the knuckle. I was fine though, bar a broken ego, and kept trying until i had this trick back on lock.
For everyone that reads; thankyou, and dont stress. peace.
