Flatground ski tricks

In the thread "Skateboard Style Lines" I think we (almost) all agreed that flatground ski tricks between features, would give skiing more flow and creativity.
But what is there to do? Butters, nollies, shifties?
I think there is a pretty limited range of tricks to do on flat ground.

I like doing tailpress' to like butter 180s. Those are pretty fun.

I like doing a sharp turn and then throwing a nollie 270... If you under rotate it's an embarrassing crash though lol.

I enjoy flatgorund stuff, it's fun I can do okay 360 butter thigns and manual to 180 out if there's a small down slope. And my brother can do the thing where you ride backwards, bend over and grab your noses and manual like that.

Yeah manuals could unlock even more creative tricks but the selection is still limited

clearly the future of skiing, you can only do so much on the rail, people will start doing more tricks in between features, before and after them

I swear it's a flatground trick that you probably haven't tried.

I agree that having flatground tricks between features in a line would help the fluidity for sure.

Max Hill did it in CASG Sundays III
