So this year will be my first season with ski in park.. ive skied when im was like 6 years old but nothing serious..

So now, I have all my stock and want to know what should I have to practice? Lip, switch-up, 270 in, 270 out, pretzel, blind? I have a nice setup in my backyard  (like a summer setup) and a 14ft pvc green pipe..  Oh and, during the summer Ive seen a lot of video to know how to do tricks and see pro to see how they do..

Help will be appreciate K+!

and

Haters gonna hate K-!

i guess you mean just rails. in my opinion you should try and get as comfortable trying to slide with left foot forward and right foot forward. not just on flat boxes but actual rails and stuff with kinks in them. too many kids looking like theyre going to eat shit then somehow end up doing a 180 out to sideways. as for jumps, learn how to spin both ways. itll take longer but you will be so thankful for it later

Have fun. Surround yourself with positive influences and people. If you fall, get back up. and Have fun.

if you have any friends that ski or you know some kids at the mountain, ask them if you can follow them around for a day. i think watching someone do something helps you alot more. and skiing with friends is tons of fun

perpare to get addicted.
first thing it to get comfterble with both feet. so left then right.
after you get that down to both front 270 out. then back 270 out
then do switchup. but remember to get comfterble with both sides!

Get a friend/s round to learn with you for sure. Way more motivation.

yeah im in ur position, ima newbie too, i used to race just switched over to freestyle last season, and im addicted straight up without a doubt. its super fun, just when u fall, u gotta get right back up and try again. hang out with people that are better than u and if ur timid will push u to try somethin maybe ur scared of. just go out there and give it ur all and have fun.
