use the searchbar and ull get loads of stuff bud.

my advice is to practice ur switch skiing as much as possible, and when u learn a trick, learn it unnatty at the same time.

get a flask.   im getting one for this year since the only time i ever fall in the park is when i pussy out.  so hopefully hard liquor will prevent falling.

doing a box sideways doesn't qualify as a trick. Don't flip out when you do

You're gonna look like shit for a while, just keep trying to get better. This is my first season where I feel comfortable enough to do what I want to do most of the time. It'll take a while, just stay with it.

Also learn how to take a fall. I'm a fucking pro at taking falls. 40 footer, spun early, so flying forward. arms in, tighten muscles us, land on side. Barely hurt.

That's my advice. Don't be cocky and act like a pro all of a sudden because you can do a rail.
