Hey there guys, I've been skiing since I've been 3 years old and I'm an advanced alpine, downhill skier and just started skiing park/ doing some urban roughly about a year now so i'm still a baby in the park/urban world. Could you give me some tips on nailing down various tricks, rails, etc...? Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!
 
Focus a lot on popping. Without it, you literally can't set any trick. Its probably the most important technique you're gonna end up learning while freeskiing or skiing in general. Also, get used to leaning on the tounges of your boots. It will help with not landing backseat in the future.

Good luck
 
By no means am I an expert in the park but to progress faster don't be afraid of falling and not making the trick the first time, second time or 50th time.

It takes times and patience to land a clean trick. I rarely get new tricks the first couple of times.

Also don't really bother what other think of you.

Still struggling to slide a box while others are working on kinks? Who cares, it's just about fun and enjoying yourself.

Also visualise the trick before you do it. This can help. Also skiing with friends (even if they are beginner park rats) can help boost your self-esteem to try new stuff.

I hope this helps.
 
^^^^^^^^^

You need to try stuff. Just go for it. Maybe talk to some skiers at the hill about giving you advice. Just the other day two kids asked me to teach them how to 360. Spent about half an hour with them and they are pretty good at them now.
