Please tell me everything that you've learned about grinding them. How do you put your weight and stuff like that. I can do them but I'm not confident enough to hit them every time, and I want to get them good!!

railing from the front and the back is very important.

I think the most important thing is to get a good hop off of the jump, you actually have to jump and can't just let the take off get you in the air, and getting the full 90 is important. And also you don't have to switch between natural and unnatural sliding as long as you dont always keep the same ski on the same foot, thats important to do no matter what you are skiing.

huh?

i mean that the ski will get worn to shit if you just rail on the same spot on the ski 24/7, so rail both right ski first and left ski first

Yeah but you might as well get a feel for both of them, kfeds, brittanys etc are so much easier when you have both down

He was implying that banging a girl from the front and the back is equally important.

God this site is filled with virgins.

Ya, this is a lot of it. While it's good to know the basics in the back of your mind, you learn by doing.

Only two things:

1. Go faster than you think you need to

2. LOOK AT THE END OF THE FUCKING RAIL

That is all.
