hi, im relatively new to freestyle skiing.  my friend got me into it this year and i have been working on the basics - mutes, safetys, spread eagles, 180s, and i was wondering what other easy and fun tricks are there to do either ground tricks or air tricks, or whatever, im just skiing for fun and i wanted to know some entertaining, cool tricks to learn

Daffys - mid air run like kick

Kicks- dont need to explain this 

Shiffties- like a 90 spin then bring it back

Screaming Semen- not really easy imo but cross your feet then bring it back

I am guessing your talking about butters, The trick cult can help too. They have a bunch of info on tricks, good luck bro.

nose blocks/ice picks whatever you want to call them. Find a mount of snow that isn't ice. Approach it and at the "apex" shift your weight forward to stand on your tips. Try to grab a tail and then come back down. Funnest trick to do in the lift line because there is always mounds of snow there.
