Took me two years, but I finally learned blind 450s yesterday. Not quite as difficult as I expected.
 
Learned backslides today! Literally a dream trick of mine :)

props bro! I find backslides to be 90% mental, so now that you're confident they should get good fast
 
just hoping the park team is setting up a tube or something easy, still got new tricks tho

First trick I’ve ever done back 270 off

[video]https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/1026048/trim-3B7170B6-8D10-49D2-B320-6889E8184095-MOV[/video]
 
I did actually post this line, but i slid a quad kink i ate shit on a bunch last year, did a safety 4 out which i hadnt done and a bswap to switch which i jus learned and was like a big goal
 
I don't learn entirely new tricks very often these days, but I spend a lot of time taking old tricks to harder features

oh for fuck's sake this again. last try

Been working on cork 9 for ever. Too scared to bring it to a bigger jump.

Unnat super fed
 
So I got nosebutter 5s down pretty good the other day and noticed I was getting pretty off axis

Shitty pic but you get the idea. I’ve never done a flip but would cork 3 or 5 be something I could try if I can do this?

Kids good
 
I’ll be back in a month with better corks, rodeos, dub cork, switch rodeo, Wackflip, misty and some big ol cliff sends with frontys and backys and 3’s and maybe a cork if a cliff if I can find a good one and fell lucky

Lip on switch out is probably my fave thing I learned this year, workin towards lip on blind 2. This is probably my greasiest yet besides almost eating shit in the giant bomb hole and my sister not recording the ride out

Hey y'all, searched for a thread like this but couldn't find one. Every time I learn a new trick I want to post about it because i have 0 friends that care about park skiing, but feel like it would be kinda annoying if I made a new thread every time I slid a new rail or added 180 degrees to a spin. Wanted to make a thread where people can flex the new stuff they've been learning this year!

Yesterday, I was afraid of any kind of rail with a horizontal/elbow kink. Today, I laced a z rail and even managed to get a couple blind 2s out of it. Also slid a honkin rainbow that I was lowkey terrified of rupturing my sack on. It's the t rail at telluride if you know what's good.

Would love to hear from y'all. What new tricks are you hyped on learning recently?

(Big Mtn Skier) One of the craziest progression years of my life. Came out of an injury with slammed confidence last season and struggled to try new things. This season has been insane. Learned to do consistent backflips on any feature that has a large enough lip, controlled 3s, 5s, and 7s off different features. Got to travel from Colorado to Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming, and traveling to new resorts for competitions. Overall a stronger skier and have really enjoyed this season.
 
Damn, wish I had discovered this thread sooner than when the local hill his only open for a week. This thread is just what i need, it has me hyped to go hike some tube and try and learn those new tricks although I mainly ski alone in the park and dont have those friends pushing me. Watching people land the stuff that I have been dreaming of gave me huge boost to try and send some trys on these last days.

Who hurt you

Hey sorry I left my Newschoolers account open at work and my coworker was bullying kids for no reason. Talking to a mod to get all the hateful stuff removed now. Pretty embarrassing.

milotv34: stoked on your first 2pretz2 man!

how’s that dub cork going
 
Learned misty/ bio 5 yesterday. Kind of an awkward trick

I’d call that a flat spin but cool axis

Yeah pretty borderline between flat and bio imo. This angle looks more forward flippy than flatspin.

Bio sounds right

The first one looks like leapfrog under wh1 at lake. The second one I can’t tell where the jump is.

would dope if you could get Japan with that one. I love when people can pencil it out early and change the axis

???

You sound very sarcastic lol. But I broke my collarbone then got back for like a week and then got targeted by this kid and blind checked me in lax and broke my collarbone again and concussed. But was getting dub backy back on tramp which has helped with the dub corks

Haha yeah it was pretty sarcastic, I ended up checking some of your clips and thought "no way this kids sending a dub on skis" but I'm realizing now you were probably talking about tramp lol. Sorry about your collar bone, hope that heals up quick. I'm sure all that waiting around will make the dub cork extra worth it.
