Terrain park questions

I finally tried out skiing in the terrain park. It went pretty good. I remembered to tuck and stick my arms out in front to stabalize myself in the air, so I wouldn't be rolling the windows. I still ended up giving myself whiplash two times, once from falling in front of a jump and once from missing the landing.

Anyways, what's an easy trick I should start off with first?

try a simple grab such as a saftey bring both skis up to your chest and grab right ski with right hand around the ski boot. make sure you skis are close together.

just do any kinda grab man, tuck and grab your right ski with your right hand or your left ski with your left hand for a safety grab.

Grab your left ski and extend your right leg for a liu kang

grab the front your left ski with your right hand for a mute. Those are all farely easy.

Check out www.jibij.com in the tricks section to see some moves in action.

easier than grabs...old school tricks, twister...skis together, legs straight, arms out at sides, twist skis to the sides then back ,

Try a spread once you get landing straight airs down, i'd say spreads are the easiest trick, then move up to simple grabs then rotations. Before you know it you'll be landing corked 7s...best of luck.


when life gives you a lemon throw it at someone

start out with a safety or lui kang. then start to spin, 360's are easy if ur not sure of landing switch. then start putting the two together.

Num no offence But I was throwing all grabs in withing the first week I started sking. Maby I just have a gift but the only thing hard about sking is spin/fliping with grabs.
I failed my gr7 LA-spelling class, so I don't give a F*ck if I spelt some thing wrong.

you rule D-spin, you rule

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?

defenitly start with a spread move to a daffy twister,mule kick,straight iron crossthen move to grabs/spins/flips always start with the basics it helps in the long run
