Here's what me and my friends went for:

360's (if you work at 'em you might get them grabbed)

 frontside 270s out, blindside is tougher but you might get them

sw-ups (frontside or backside, some people find one or the other easier)

Some people get backflips if they do trampolining or something like that.

Get your grabs down, they seem like a lame thing to try but it HELPS. Do you ever see really good skiers just spin without a grab. Or even trick without a grab for that matter?
No. Not often. Get them down

Just get comfortable on all the features.

Have a good time.

Good luck,

Graham
