Trick Advice

I started park skiing at the end of last season and have been grinding out the park this season. Here are some of the rail tricks I can do so far and I was wondering what other rail tricks I should be trying. Also, there are currently no jumps open due to horrible snow conditions so I'm mainly focusing on rails.

rail tricks I'm able to do so far.

back n front Swap

back n front 270

switch on

switch on front 2 out

lip on front or back 2 out

Brittney

K fed

Double surface swap

2c2 .

What other tricks should I be trying that would be fairly possible with my current skill level?

grind man. I was lucky enough to go to momentum camps in the summer for a week and there I was able to learn some nice jump tricks and consentily hit rails. Once you get rails down just hike and keep trying until you get it. Once you get it keep doing it till it's consistent. K fed took me over 50 hikes to get and its still not fully consistent.

dam your progression has been very fast how did you do it.
 
Try some 50/50 tricks, sliding with your other foot forward, 2 to switch, back swap to switch, Ray and Ellen

I had learned back and front 270s last season ( they were not good and not consistent) but on my first day of this season everything just clicked. I could 2 out easily and clean. Once I learned frontswpas I could k fed the next day. After I learned my first backswap I brittneyed right away and so on. Overall my control and focus on the rails were much better and I became a more natural rail skier if that makes sense lmao. It may seem like I'm rushing all these tricks, but behind the scenes, I spend like all day hiking to get one trick down and locked in.

My tip is just repetition so just keep trying and you will get it.

Ray Charles is blind swap blind 2 (get it cuz hes blind) and Ellen is front swap front 2 (probably not PC anymore but called ellen cuz youre scissoring the rail like Ellen Degeneres whos a lesbian)

It's a marathon not a sprint. While ur learning to slide rails hit everything unnatural as well, it will help you out a lot down the road.
