Apologies for the Americanism...

What mountain biking / cycling things would you like to achieve before you die? Eg. ride the Moab slickrock, clear a gap jump, megavalanche, that sort of thing.

I need to learn how to jump and rail corners, my day with Jedi in March should go some way to achieving that.
As far as other skills goes I want to be able to manual for a good few seconds.

Trips wise I want to go to Fort Bill, The Alps and Whistler. The above skills should get me down the hills there with a reasonable amount of style.

I would love to live in a mountain resort so I could ride in the summer and ski/board in the winter. Unfortunately my job means that I can't unless I win big on the lottery.

Soloing a 24hr at some point and Mountain Of Hell are the only specific things. Otherwise, just continue to improve my riding and keep riding new, exciting places, getting as loose as possible and shredding rear tyres.
