Share your highlights - whatever that means to you. If possible, share a picture as well.
For me, it is my first jump. Me and my pals (we were a bit too scared to go to the big jumps when just starting to jump) decided to build a little kicker for us, so - we did it. The first 2 times I was so scared I didn't go straight on the jump, but turned a bit away (so I kinda jumped the corner of the kicker).. Well, after that I just let myself free or something and just jumped and it felt awesome, I even didn't fall.. *geeky smile*
Anyway, here is a picture of one of my first 15 jumps, also off a kicker made by me and a few friends.
Okaaaay, I know it sounds cheesy, but.. it felt a lot higher when I was jumping it...
Oh and I'm sorry for my lousy English, feel free to correct me. |

I bet it was! Hopefully I'm going to meet a fellow SCUKer one day as well, I'd love to get some snowboarding tips and stuff. |

Ive got a few most involve my girlies 
One of the most important ones was that Heather managed to get back on the mountain with us in Whistler this year after damaging her knee on the 1st day, she had been looking forward to the holiday for 11 months so you can imagine she was gutted when she was tobogonned off the mountain on day one 
I also love the fact that they want to spend time with their old bag of a mom at tammy lol
yes im a proud mom........................ |

Umm, I reckon spending all season getting the guts up for hitting the 60 footer in the Tremblant park in '02 then finally doing it and thinking it was awesome and then going up to the top and doing it again... and again 
Getting the guts up to doing my first backflip. |

| My highlight so far was last month almost being responsible for the Brits Big Air being cancelled. Ski patrol came over and had a go at us for throwing snowballs at the lift and stopped the the events during the Final...with hindsite it probably wasn't a good idea for me to smack him in the face with a snowball while he was shouting at everyone...cue lots of macho skier postering and ski poles being waved in a threatening manor from him, lots of kisses blown and handshakes from me and lots of ironic applause from the crowd as we sorted it out man to man........woops Oh and my riding into the middle of the Boardercross course by accident and sitting down taking in the view only to realise from shouts of 'get out the way you twat' that the final was about to take place |

Traversing across an untouched face above Pas de la Casa, then making my first turn in powder, before cruising down all the way without falling.
Riding the Whistler halfpipe gradually building up more and more confidence before getting out of the top (If only by a few inches!)
Landing a 360 in France, then doing a few more in California this year! |

I think the first time i went down gloucester slope (including hitting the box)without falling was such a buzz, followed very closely by the session at Tam 2 weeks ago which was my first on snow, again massive grins!
hopefully lots more impressive things ahead!!! |
