Hey NS!
First let me tell how stunned I was when I discovered such an awesome site existed. You've saved me from many a boring lectures and many more to come!!
I think it's sweet that most of my questions can be answered from the search bar, and that there is such a huge compilation of everything and anything ski related! I've also noticed that there is just as much 4chan related shit, but that's inevitable I guess.
As for me I've been skiing for the last 10 years of my life but only really got into freestyle and park last season. During storm seasons I'll be hunting pow, but if we get a ridge of high pressure with no new snow I can spend the whole day at the park. What I love best though is just riding down the trails and picking off natural kickers, booters, hips, tree taps, cliffs, and anything else you can throw in there...pretty much just having a good time and always trying to progress myself. I think my gear reflects this as I bought and rode on my first pair of twin tips this season, K2 Kung Fujas with the Marker Schizo adjustable bindings. Never had an issue with this setup and love its versatality.
When it comes to my bag of tricks I'm still a noob but can do these fairly competently::
-360 with a grab, Switch 360, and 540
-Cork 360
-Front and Backflips on a powdery ass day
-Most large rails and boxes
What I'm trying to get down are:
-720
-Cork 540
-Lincoln loops
-Rodeos would be nice
-Switch ups and rotation on rails and boxes
-More style to my tricks
Anyways, I'm probably taking up too much of your time for a first post haha but don't hate. I'm just stoked on skiing, life in general, and NS of course!
