wow dude that was really helpfull. dont worry about your steeze man. it will come as you get more comfortable. if you try to force it too much it will look gay. As you stomp your tricks harder and harder they will look sicker and sicker

I would say just practise, there doesn't seem to be anything too off about it, you guys just need to keep working on your stuff, and as you do your style will improve. It just takes time, keep at it.

Nice job, just practice and as you get more comfortable you will definitely improve.

nice stuff, on the switch hit take it easy because he started too early, and just work on your strength so your head doesn't bang on the landings

for style everything looks better the more you tuck i think, it helps later on too when learning more difficult trick. and on rails some slack or bent knees..like not straight legged is key.

other than that props boys. when i was 14 i couldnt do some of those haha

Yeah just keep skiing and your tricks will get better and better. You can learn 2's out of rails, they are not that hard to learn as long as you dedicate a few hours straight just to learning them. You kids look good, not too shabby for some young guns...

It looks like you guys are pushing it, way to go. Winter Park is a sick place to learn stuff.

Good work boys.
Obviously you want to advance your skiing, so learning 270s will help that on the rail side and add variation to your video.
With spins, are you popping? A few of the jumps looked backseat, pop off your toes to keep yourself on axis.
Keep your arms by your sides on rails, this comes with confidence on the rails and balance So work on your balance over the summer, on tramps, bikes and balance boards will help a lot.
Core strength which will grow through balance exercises will help in the air and landing.
Keep it up and it'll all speed up the process of getting better.
Props and Peace

your skiing looks really good, just try to tuck it in a little more. and try to use a tripod to film, the camera was shaky.
