CR 720
Mar 7 2008
For the last two weeks I have been spending time at
Squaw Valley working on elevating my level of
confidence and stoke. Charging with more speed into
lines and throwing tricks off of cliffs has been
returning to me, and I have been feeling confident in
that.
I spent one day in the park at Squaw and hit some
jumps with the Filthy Rich Productions crew. I worked
on some air awareness with some 360s and 540s. I
haven't thrown a 720 in the back country in three
years, and have only thrown them for one day in the
park during that time, in Whistler last summer. After
the day in the park at Squaw the snow became baked in
California, and I took off for Utah.
I am out here now shreding with my friends Zach
Seibert, Ian and Neil Provo. We built this jump two
days ago in the afternoon and came back the next
morning to hit it. From the get-go it looked like a
perfect 720 jump. My goal for the day was to stomp a
nice 7.
I know I can see the 720 rotation in my head, but
hadn't done one in years. Instead of being nervous
about not having done one in a while, I stepped into
my realm of confidence. Confidence in the fact that I
know it in my head and now all I have to do is exactly
what I know.
This photo is the product of what I know.
Rediscovering confidence in my skiing is opening new
doors of exploration of the limits of my ability
again. Rediscovering my love for skiing is really
reopening my eyes to what a killer sport we all
participate in.
This photo was taken by a great friend of mine, while
I hit the jump with two other great friends of mine on
a beautiful sunny day, all for fun. This photo really
is the product of celebration of friendship,
celebration of life, and celebration of the love I
have for skiing. 720s are going down again... I love
skiing.
Blessed Love to all the people,
CR Johnson
