I have been skiing first year in the park this season. i have only skied 10-15 days but i got 3's on lock, with mute on 20ft kickers. i got my 5 down okay on 15ft kickers, but i'm not sure "in which way" i should progress now. Should i go to get them down with tons of different grabs, or go for 7 and then work on style from there? whats your opinions?

thanks everyone, and sorry for bad english :)

You should probably work on your rail skills because it sounds like you're pretty good at jumps.

if you got 5's, go for a backy. They are really really easy to do if you find a kicky enough jump, the hardest part is getting yourself siked up for it.

You should probably learn to ski the mountain.

Just progress at whatever you want to learn. Set a goal for yourself every morning. I do that and most of the time I learn a new trick or at least almost learn one.

Example:
Day 1 - 270 on switch out
Day 2 - 7 with grab
Day 3 - 270 on fs 270 out
and so on.
