    First Time Doing Urban

    Planning to hit this urban kink rail near my house, and was wondering how I should prep. How do I make a solid jump? Do I need to wax the rail or detune my edges at all? Any help would be great.

    With my spins, I'm finding it hard to integrate grabs. I do the occasional japan but, it doesn't look smooth and I still look like a pencil. How do I do stylish grabs consistently?

    How To Bring Your Legs Up?

    How do you bring your legs up to your chest for a grab? Whenever I try to, I lose control and flail. Am I going for the grab too early? Also, for spins, do you want to be looking over your shoulder or keep your head centered? Thanks.

    Need Help with FS Switchups

    I really need some tips on how to get these down. I always end up either clipping my skis on the rail and when I do get the 180 around, I lose my balance/ fall off the rail in my new stance. I've even done some FS surface swaps no problem, but I've been trying for weeks now and still just can't...

    Trampolines

    I'm looking to buy a tramp and could use some help. My budget is probably under $700-$800. I'm not too experienced on tramps, I haven't even tried to backflip. In the future, I probably won't be doing doubles on it, I'll go to an actual gymnastics place for that. What's a good company and shape...

    Front flip Tips

    I really wanna try a front flip soon. I got them on tramps and can even do them off small objects on the ground, and it's less scary than trying a back flip. I've watched many videos that say to put one ski in the front of the other, put all pressure on your front foot, and fling your back foot...

    Shin Bang Ruining My Season

    As the title says, I've been getting horrible shin bang in two pairs of boots so far. I'm currently using some Full Tilt Classics with Booster Straps, and after just a few laps in the park, my shins hurt so bad just to touch. Is there anything I can do? What is the problem? Help would be much...

    Help with Spinning

    So I've just recently got into park, and have been doing 360's with no grabs, and attempted 540's, but during this past season I've realized the way I spin is kinda weird. I learned using the T method, but watching videos of me spinning, I see that my arms aren't by my side, my skis aren't...

    Buy or Build Metal Rail?

    I've been using PVC rails in my backyard for some time now, but I feel like PVC feels so much different than metal rails at mountains. I saved up some money, and wanna buy a metal rail. Anyone know where to buy some metal rails that aren't super expensive or if I can build one?

    Question about Ski Maintenance

    I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to ski maintenance. So I've been skiing on turf these past few months, and my ski bases turned really white. I hot scraped my skis twice and hot waxed them once, but after a few runs on my backyard setup, they turned white again. I recently got mSnow, rubbed on...

    How Bad is Mud for Ski Bases?

    It's been great here in the east, just a shit ton of rain. I've been using my backyard setup a lot, and there's so much mud. I get mud on my skis a lot. I usually clean it off immediately, but is it bad for bases?

    Questions about mSnow

    I'm about to buy mSnow, but just have some quick questions. Does it damage skis after excessive use? Will I notice an increase in speed over turf and lattice? My main concern is just making sure my skis are okay. Pretty much every time I can't go to a mountain, I use my backyard setup.
