Whats next for progression?

[invalid]

Idk what to start learning. I’m getting used to spins and how to apply pressure on my skis for tail presses and stuff. Not sure what the next things to learn should be in order to progress.

180s, tail press, nose press, trying to figure out how to connect presses and 180s together to do butters and shit. Pretty confident riding switch now that I know to drop my leg back

i practiced plastic tubes since i always ate shit on metals, got it down, slid some metal rails in a real park. Ate absolute shit on tubes 3 times in a row at the end of the day and it’s like I just can’t do them anymore, so going back to plastics to practice locking on.

just not sure where to go from here or what to do

Some guy probably has a youtube series on basic prgression but if you are feeling a reasonable trick id say go for it confidence is 50%

metal features are always more slippery, when you pop you gotta really commit to full 90 degree turn onto the feature, have your legs wide, knees slightly bent, make sure to come down with both feet at the same time with equal weight balance.

When I’m trying to lock onto the rail, I always put more weight on my downhill leg tho right? And use the back leg as more of the locking foot?

idk I just can’t visualize or grasp how to consistently slide the

uhh im no freestyle coach/ instructor or very skilled by any means but no, I dont think i would say that the downhill foot should have more weight on it. If anything the downhill foot would have slightly less weight on it as the ski of the uphill foot has its base flat against the rail while the ski of the downhill foot is slightly angled, so the inside edge is the main contact point on the rail of the downhill foot.

Ideally most of your weight is on your uphill foot. As long as you’re not actually leaning back you shouldn’t slip out. Point of contact on the downhill foot is the inside edge. Keep your feet shoulders width and bend your knees some. Watch the end of the rail. Confidence is the main thing and the rest should work itself out, don’t be afraid to eat shit.
