So, my home mountain's park is pretty good. right now we have a nice set up with 6 rails and a 20 foot table. the only thing is, i really wanna progress this year, like flips and stuff, but there are no inverts at my mountain. and dont say "just dont get caught by ski pattrol" cause thats hard to do because they can see from two lifts and the park crew cracks down hard. anyways, i was wondering what i can try to do to progress. i can 7 blunt/mute (claim) and i wanna learn corks. so any tips for not making them inverted the first time, cause when i first tried them they were inverted.

You gotta protect the idiots from themselves.

Flips are incredibly dangerous, and noobs dont know that. So they get hurt, sue the mountain and the mountain looses the park. Also, its an insurance thing.

little bump here. my mountain is beginning to enforce this rule. i just learned backflips and mistys not two weeks ago, they finally built a legit jump to throw them on, and now i can't? are you fucking kidding me. luckily when we get enough snow to move the park over to where it's supposed to be you can't see it from the lift. i can understand how OP and others who ride mountains who enforce this rule feel. i mean couldn't they just say "ski at your own risk," which i'm pretty sure is already stated in the rules, or state that injuries from inverts cannot make them liable or something like that?

I ski at the same hill as the OP and ski po will pull your pass if you do anything that puts you even close to upside down (so no lincolns/rodeos/etc. like some people were saying) and they really enforce the rule
