i just started to hit up the park this past season, and i enjoy it deeply, but since i really cant do any tricks yet and i have no summer set up, or space to build one (live in the City). What should i do in my off season to keep proggressing and learning more tricks?
 
-workout-skate,blade, bmx ect-trampoline/diving board
baisically anything that improves your core strength and works muscles that aid balance. Also search bar this same thing and you can get a ton of suggestions but these r what I do
 
Just do any sport and lots of it. Get outside alot, go do stuff. And stay flexible, that will really help you in the winter.
 
practice layering your tall t's so that they hang perfectly below eachother.

tie your knees together so that you get used to the feeling that sagging your snow pants down low creates.

seriously though, if you can get time on a trampoline or a diving board it helps a lot with your air awareness. don't be pressured by yourself or others to do super rad tricks, start with the basics. 360's, backflips, frontflips, etc... and get comfortable with yourself in the air and landing balanced. if you get that down it is a good foundation to build from.
 
So true, and do right and left side stuff, it will help you all around and make you way more comfortable in general.
360s are actually really good to practise on the tramp, and they will help you with bigger spins too. Perfect the smaller stuff and the crazier tricks become way easier.
 
maybe you should read the thread a little better... he clearly says he cant because he cant slide rails and doesnt have enough room cause he lives in the city
 
watch lots n lots of edits, dream about skiing every night for the coming months, talk about skiing to people who honestly don't care, try 'n controll every conversation so that it ends up going about skiing, meet other people who ski, make plans for next year, learn random things...
 
This really sounds like my current situation, sadly...

Water Ramps are good training but there needs to be some close for that to work.
 
thats exactly what i do! someones talking to me and they say something that has some unintended reference to skiing and i just start talking about skiing haha.

but seriously diving boards tramps anything like that to practice air time. i mean simply doing spins off random shit when your walking around can help. work on your core strength, pretty much everything in skiing depends on core strength in fact almost everything physical will benefit from having a strong core.
 
Every one has pretty much said everything, so I'll say this: Work on a tramp so u are comfortable spinning left and right........... try to get to a skate park or something and roller blade, do some rails cuz that helps u time where u need to be and stuff

Sorry bout the bold, it keeps turnin itself on =(
