New year...new goals... I'm gonna get this figure 8 thing sooner or later.

This time I really wanted to work on keeping my hands up, not letting them drop before the first turn and swing as much (as in 1 example). Not sure why I do that anyway but it's a hard habit to break.

That did seem to make me feel more stable and balanced going into the second turn. Feel like I could have maybe made some of these, but felt I didn't have enough speed into the 2nd part and was overall just uncomfortable with the backside turn.

After these attempts I did head over to the roll in and quarter pipe bank and just practiced the backside turn for another 15 mins or so to get more used to it. I know those are supposed to be easier since you can see the turn and the bottom of the bowl but I do everything backwards apparently...

I'm gonna get it!
