The backflip

On Saturday March 8th I went to a place near my house called Chief Pegius trail. It is just a small hill that not many people know about and I built myself a jump. The jump was about 4 feet tall and was very vertical to help me with my backflip. So I sat at the top of the hill for about 5 minutes just visualizing how it is going to look and eventually I just went for it. My first attempt I made the full rotation but my board got stuck in the snow so I didn't ride away from it. The second attempt went very well, felt like I had perfect form from the start and I landed my first backflip ever. It felt amazing. My mentor couldn't make it to video tape because she is very busy and I can't wait to long because the snow is melting and I needed to get this backflip done. I'm very happy with how my backflip turned out and that I didn't get hurt.

Skyzone Gone Wrong

Hey everyone, on Sunday Febuary 16 I went to skyzone. If you don't know what skyzone is it is a giant building with a lot of trampolines. You are probably wondering how this has anything to do with my passion project. The main reason I went to skyzone is to practice my backflip to get me ready for when i attempt it on the snow. When i was at skyzone all I did was do backflips to get my rotation down. While I was doing one of my backflips I under roatated and actually dislocated my shoulder. Despite the fact that that happened Im still ready to do my backflip on the snow. So the trip to skyzone was a success I guess.

Hello everyone, my name is Trevor Dalmaijer. Ever since I have started the beautiful art of snowboarding I have always wanted to do a backflip. This passion project will really help me fulfill my dream. But as we all know winter doesn't last till June so I will also be researching snowboarding, researching techniques on how to better myself as a snowboarder. But my main goal is to complete my backflip. I have a friend who can do backflips so she will be my mentor and she will also be video taping my first attempt and if all goes as planned I should be able to post the video here on my blog, so stay tuned. I will also be researching about my favorite snowbaorder Mark McMorris. He was my inspiration to start snowboarding. So hit that follow button and expect great things to come.
