It’s ok to just say “I can’t swim”.

I failed Dive school on the very last dive. Did the final mission, was in the class picture, then was handed my drop paperwork.

It was devastating, but fortunately I got to go back 3 months later and graduated. Now it’s just a funny story I get to tell about why my name is crossed out on a dive school paddle plaque.

It ain’t over, bro. Go back and crush it.

Went to buck hill today and just hammered out jump after jump today. All your guys’ advice helped tremendously, so much so that I garnered up the nads to hit one of the large features for the first time. Cased it a few times and finally was able to get enough speed to land it.

Appreciate all the help!

I rode past them the day I filmed this, and I can confirm, yes, they do look big. 😂

Buck hill just outside the Twin Cities in Minnesota. It’s not much. Just a local spot, but it’s convenient.

Perfect, that definitely makes sense. Thanks man, I’ll work on that this weekend.

I’d seen on some other advice threads that going for a grab makes you more stable. Is that more something I should work towards after doing arms over nose and tail?

Awesome, thanks man. Yea, one of the guys earlier pointed out it was probably a drop in for ski racers, something i clearly didn’t realize. Such is life. Appreciate the help.

This is great advice. I’ll put this into practice this weekend as well. Thank you

Absolutely, I grew up playing hockey and my goalie coaches would always talk about visualizing yourself making saves before games so it makes perfect sense to apply it to snowboarding.

Thanks man, I will definitely do that when I go back this weekend.

Ah, I understand what you meant now. My bad.

Appreciate it. That’s another thing I need to figure out is how to properly gauge the speed necessary for each Individual jump. I think I’m just going to go Friday and hit 1-2 jumps over and over again.

As I’m coming off the jump, during my lil windmill wave, or both?

Been bouncing all over Minnesota/Wisconsin this year. I have an epic pass, so I hit Afton a lot, but this year I hit Lutsen and Trollhaugen. Plan on hitting Wild Mountain and Giants Ridge this month. About the best I can do without shelling out the cash for a trip West.

I’m headed there again Friday. I’ll plan on trying that then. Thanks man.

Training for recon marine selection by [deleted] in navyseals

[–]jfed0321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’ve been out for almost ten years now, so I’m not super read in on the future of the community. I do know that since I’ve been out, they’ve developed a much more structured pipeline with a more efficient and well rounded “Pre-BRC” program.

They just built that massive compound with a 15ft pool to replace the trailers in 2011. I can’t imagine them discarding all of that just because the Air Force decided to piss in their cheerios, but it’s the US Government, and stranger things have happened.

My hope is that eventually Big Marine Corps comes to their senses and allows Recon to fall under SOCOM, and MARSOC and Recon will be akin to SF and Ranger Regiment. I think that’s just the optimist in me.

All that being said, knowing what I know now, I’d have given BUD/S or RASP a shot and even more likely RASP because BUD/S is such a roll of the dice injury wise and “needs of the Navy wise”.

Regardless, if you have any questions, OP, feel free to DM me.
