Getting enough speed.

[ben.river.16]

I come from a racing background and just last year got into the whirly birds and fliparooskies of park skiing. Im watching old footage from this last season and realize that I have trouble getting enough speed.

I'd be going up to a mid-sized booter without speedchecking or anything and I would be dick's length away from knuckling hard.

What do you do to get your jacket flapping if anything.

Pump transitions and drop from higher up.

Listen to speed metal

 

[skiersupreme]

take speed.

 

[ben.river.16]

Listen to speed metal

so by inference I should buy some speed and pop the shit out of it before skiing? I like this plan.

 

[Karl_Hungus]

sometimes its good to just hit the knuckle and explode, dont worry about it and have fun

 

[tomPietrowski]

The most important factor I speed much more then wax is having an appropriate structure on the ski. Your from racing so I woul think you know all about that stuff. Park skiers neglect there base and then are surprised they are slow compared to other skiers. If you ever get to take a look at pros skis at a big event they are prepare just as well as any race ski.

get way to drunk for 3 in the afternoon then go switch and don't look at the jump and break a leg like a bitch

Aim for gucci plateau everytime. You'll never come up short with this proven method.
