What are your goals for the 2013 season?

[kiki]

My goal this year is to ride with some new friends, friends who happen to be much better riders than me so I can learn from them, who will be encouraging and patient so I can actually get better, years past me trying anything that might include getting stuck or doing anything relativly "wrong" due to learning was not really tolerated. I have chosen to free myself of those who are negative and surround myself with positive people. I also want to be comfortable on my new pro and learn all the basics so I can improve on myself as a rider. Staying in good shape I also think is important and can make your days alot easier. I plan to ride with the girls more, ladies rides etc. I am blessed to live in an area where there are many respected women riders whom I hope will be willing to take me under thier wing and get me headed in the right direction. I am also on my own this year, single girl rider, I am taking the bull by the horns so to speak from learning to load/unload to learning to wrench on my own sled. I am smiling to myself everytime I accomplish one of these things on my own. As I learn my goals will get bigger, I am a pretty determined person and being freed from my restrictions this year is really going to allow me to improve, I am really excited. Had my first ride of the season over Thanksgiving, and it was so empowering to feel like I was free and could actually try stuff without consequence and that I did. I did some really stupid things but did some really great things too, but you don't learn unless you fail and have something to learn from, I feel this year is going to be a big learning year for me and I am super excited for that.

I'm going to try to stop flinching when I take a tree branch in the face. I don't know why I do it, but it's a concious effort to stop.

I also want to encourage safe and responsible backcountry travel. I lost a friend to an avalanche last year and it really hit home for me. My main riding area has several drainages that empty right accross the only trail. I spent a lot of days last year finding safer routes into our main play areas, and I'd like to make people more aware that there are alternate routes.

Other than that, keep exploring and pushing boundaries. And ride with cool ppl

I think that the only goal I will have set this year will be to be in front of the camera more than last year.

I really don't want to set goals, I just want to do it!
