Hey guys - I need some advice. I got a pair of Vinnie (Vincent Dorion) Twin-Tips last year and, living in Australia, I only got to ride on them for 2 weeks, as our ski season isnt very long and my family and I have to drive 6 hours to get to the snow. Anyway, I'm dying to get some tricks down and I nned some advice to get me started. What tricks should I try first? I can do a few old school trickes, like a twister and an iron cross, but even then they are not so good ... help me out guys! Any advice would be much appreciated ....

Thanks :)

Love Emma xx

I was wondering the same thing. Due to medical reasons (Basically, I'm a klutz), I haven't been allowed to ski for about five years. However, by next season my specialist might let me. Any advice?

First get comfy in the air, good takeoffs and landings. Then go for some graps, safety, mute, japan, tail. Then start spinning, learn to ride switch etc.

Get comfy with lots of air, and grabs first. Mute, tail, safety, liu kang and Japan are the ones you want to learn. Then try 360s, when u get good at those go for 360 grabs, and then work on 180s and 180 grabs. Then 540s and switch tricks.
Basicly its just getting comfortable tho.

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get that out of the way, then go live in an old folks home, then you should get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then on your first day at work you should get a gold watch. You work 40 years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement, you go drinking and partying, then get ready for high school. You go to elementary school, become a kid, you play, you have no responsiblities, you become a little baby, you go back and spend your last 9 months floating around in a spa and then you finish up as an orgasm!
