Silly question, but are there tricks you can practice in your living room?

I'm new to skiing park, and I can only get up around once a week due to school. Are there tricks that you can get the feel of in your living room?

Jump off your couch to practice spins. And you can practice 270s on by spinning and planting your feet as if you were landing on a rail/box. If you have a balance board, then thats great for improving balance and core strength.

Or you could get a girl naked on your couch and practice peeing in her butt?

i really like the idea of this but i just don't think you can do anything that productive in the house, learning flips is about the limit, but that would be rad though, i've always wanted to be able to huck a flip from standstill.

tip stands/nose blocks, and if you have enough space you could attach a pvc to the top of your bed going down to floor (carpet), I can't remember where I saw it but someone did that haha

Practice falling? It's a total "must be mastered" aspect of freestyle skiing!

Time yourself, you've got so and so much time, to take off your gloves, adjust your gogs, switch the song on your ipod, fix the ear buds, and have the glove back on.

lie on your back and practice grabs, sounds stupid, but really helps you get more comfortable with tweaking them and such

*serious answer*

nose grabs. how? by stretching or doing yoga every morning for an hour (well, maybe not a full hour) before starting your day. you'll be able to reach your nose's in no time.
