Hey, I'm from the UK so as you can imagine don't get many opportunities to practice freestyle. I'm slowly getting into experimenting more -
What were your first tricks or What would be a good bunch of moves to try first as i'm not really sure?

mute - tail - start spinning.

skip the straight air and try grabbing anything, safety or just something to keep you occupied in the air.

once str8 airs are easy, hit up some easy grabs man! safetys, mutes, ALL OF EM. but save the blunts and the nose grabs for when your iller.

practice skiing switch doo.

then do all four 180s, and all four 360s. then take it to the make and do all 4 540s. then your just as good as dash longe was 3 years ago.

3's are like the base of all tricks. Then saftey's and mutes are pretty easy

first when i started skiing i got my carving down before i even attemped jumps. get comfortable in the air before you do anything. pratice grabs before spins to get yourself comfortable moving around in the air. then once you feel confident enough start spinning and grabbing.

first make sure you can ski. If you dont have good balance to begin with, then you won't be a good park rider. Then go straight airs, get very comfortable with air. Then do some grabs, and tweak them.

after that, start spinning and doing rails. but remember that if you dont look smooth it doesn't matter how big you go. unless it's like... really big.

i thought it was still considered a straight air even if you grabbed...but whatever. i tried to dial in my spread eagles before i went on to everything else.

Grab left foot with right hand and drop the opposite ski- vise versa with other hand if you want. I learned a little different then most people. It went like, 180, zero spin, 360, 180 off big jumps, box and small rail.

GO BIG OR GO HOME!! thats skiings pathetic mentality. just go up to an 80 footer and huck your shoulder in an angled downward motion and you'll do something cool. you'll land it perfectly and an oakley representative will be waiting on the landing with contract in hand, then you'll become a famous professional athlete. HOORAY!!!

3's are good, then if you wanna learn inversions, backflips are easy to start with.

do a grab when ur just learning to jump i find it helps with my balance in the air to grab then when ur comfortable start spinning but before hitting jumps or anything just learn to ski and get comfortable doing it
then learn to ski switch comfortably and youll find doing anything switch is much easier

learn to carve, safteys, I learned 360s before I learned 180s cause twintips barley existed when I started doing them. also lear mutes and twisters, so you can get comfortable being twisted in the air. if you can nail all those, practice taking off and carving switch. if you can do THAT, then start bustin some cork 3 no grabs.

because I like poop.

mess around skiing switch, then you can pop little 180's of the ground. Basically if you go a bit bigger every time you wont even notice that youve done a three over a booter in a week or two.

first of all you should learn how to ski the groomers before you start spinning and taking air. once you feel comfortable doing that you should start by hitting baby jumps and do straight airs. Then try 180s, safety, japan, then 360, switch 180s, 540... and then you can go bigger an bigger. but don't hit the big jumps before you feel completely comfortable with taking big air 'cause you'll most likely fall out of the sky like a dead duck

If you really want to get noticed then make up your own trick. Preferably one that involves lots of spinning on more then one axis and then once youve nailed it try it with a grab then do it onto a rail then do it unnatural then do it switch - cab - etc. unrealistic video games are a good starting point. check out the wilson flip.

First I would just go with straight airs of big jumps then learn to ski fakie and do small 180s then small 360s just slowly go off bigger jumps until you got the balls to start doing more technical stuff

another thing to remember is that you don't want to get in the habit of spinning too fast and hard so that you look like crap in the air. learning to grab while rotating really slows the spins down so you can concentrate on style at the same time.

learn to jump, then learn to tweak your grabs, i acaully got more confortable tweaking saftey's, well as much as you could tweak them haha, and then one time i tryed to cross the skis and tweaked and got the mute down. idk just start wtih grabs and jumps, then get a box down, and then try spinning, and then try rails.

i never went into the park until i was ready. now i am happy i didn't because i hate when little kids try to go off the jumps and fall over. anyway just jump off of everything like moguls, little piles of snow near snow makers. just try to get air then eventually add in little grabs or 180s or something

GO SWITCH

once you get how to do 3's it seems so easy, like you can do em off moguls and stuff but at first its a bitch. I think my first was prolly grabs and airs. Then the 180s, and switch 180s, then 3s, switch 3s, and nowim at 5s. rails: just get confident on boxes and then start building your way up
