and dirtydrummer -

I think the best way to learn is to hang out in the park, and watch some other skiers do their shit. Try and learn from them, inrun speeds, grabs, spins etc. Watching guys who know what they are doing is a great learning tool.

Then start experimenting man. Start off small, straight airs on small kickers. Workon grabs and keep working on them until you feel comfortable, and can show a certain amount of style. Then Spins, watch, learn and try it. 1s, 3s etc. Then mix it up with your now smooth-ass grabs, and progress to bigger and better things.

Rails can be learnt easy, just have the balls to try. Progression is fun and once you sart stomping it will soon come.

Just remember, watch and learn, be friendly to other skiers and have fun!

Peace

I think one of the most important parts with jumps. Is what you do BEFORE you hit a jump.

If you set yourself up wrong, then you're setting yourself up for a failure - before you are even off the jump.

Here's one thing to think about.. How is your stance as you are going off the jump?

If you lean back as you go off the jump then you're going to have to spend most of the time in the air trying to get back on balance. Making tricks difficult as hell.

Are you leaning more to the left or right?

If you're concentrating hard on getting a grab or doing a spin, sometimes you may put alot more weight on one foot as you are going off the jump.

This is going to make you totally lean to one side.. Setting you off balance.

So concentrate on approaching the jump.. visualize it in your head beforehand. Get a wide stance. Pop off the lip, then once you are in the air.. if you are going to do a grab bring the grab to you.. don't force your body towards the grab.

And remember, your head determines where your body goes. Look where you want to go.

if you are still getting off balance in the air.. are you dropping a shoulder? keep your shoulders straight.

Don't worry about where you're at. We all were beginers at one time or another.. And we all progress at different speeds.

Just concentrate on the basics, good smooth jumping and then step it up one jump at a time.

and stay safe.

Eat. Sleep. Breathe. Ski.

 
GT is right. Go to a park where kids are throwing down, and match their speed into jumps. That makes it a lot easier and safer to learn timing on big hits. Also start small and move up as your comfort level increases, but don't forget to go for it every once in a while. Hard hits are part of life in this sport and we all take them, just know they are bound to happen and learn to crash. other than that, try to ski with people who will push you to do better, and most importantly have fun, good luck.

I was just joking around man, lighten up, really. Who are you to tell me where to go and what to do? The only reason I didn't give an advice is because I'm not good enough myself, so I just said something stupid and funny. That's just me. Sorry. What the hell is your problem anyways?

Quit wasting post space complaining about me, because I'm not goin away. I never did anything wrong.

Well i think i need to try some of these tips so thanks. and i think we all need to just ppull the sticks out of our asses

This is ur lewiston local bad @$$ skier
 
thanks, a lot of the times when i go to do a 180 or something, i will get 90 and freeze up and then land, which will kill my knees. Also my friend tell me to do spins off of like 4 to 6 ft jumps and i can bearly do them off of a 3 ft.

Thx for the advice

someone already might have mentioned this man but you got to commit to a jump, if your gonna try a trick don't back off halfway through cause that'll hurt u more than if you finish the rotation and bail, i think everybody else covered all the other stuff so good luck

and dont worry if you do suck, if people are giving you shit fuck them. and many people arent good after their first year of freestyle but after you learn railslides and 360's it really kinda takes off there at least did for me.

 
yeah man, stick with it! But i had that problem with freezing up at 90 too and I just went a rode a quarter pipe for a couple days and I got 180s down pretty awesome from that... Try it in a half-pipe, just a suggestion

try new tricks on small jumps, then work ur way up to larger jumps

Seriously, it is all in your head. For some gay reason i could not get myself to jump onto rails, but luckily there were a ton of ride on rails. All you have to do is convince yourself that you will do it, visualize doinjg the trick, and then do it. Also, try doing threes, cuz landing backwards could be too freaky for you right now.

yeah do what weazel said start on a small jump that your comfortable with. dont be like me and get a feeling to charge a 60 fter and try cork 7's over it

Yeah, the more badass you make yourself feel the more confident you will become and the more t5ricks yu will be able to learn.

or you could just not worry about how good you are??? becoming a good skier takes years, it wont happen over night. But gives a fuck about how good you are. dont ski for your ego, ski because you enjoy it. best of luck
