So this is my second season of skiing in park, what basic things should I have locked? What had you learned on your second season?

Hey dude everyone progresses differently in the park at much different paces. My second season I was learning the basics of how to slide on boxes/flat rails and to surface spin. Also I learned how to throw 1's and 3's off of little rollers and small kickers. Some people I'm sure progress much quicker, but its all apart of the process brother! It doesnt matter how good and how fast you get there, all that matters is that you have fun and enjoy the greatest sport on earth.

Just have a good time and try new stuff if you feel like it. Don't focus too much on becoming an ultimate pro skier and progressing as fast as possible, just have fun on the hill.

both 810's out (with every way on)

at least on 990 out

all 4 dub 10's (grabbed!)

a couple dub 12's (at least safety grabs)

all 2's and 4's on

at least 3/4s of all the rail combos

Spins up to 14 grabbed, maybe a pencil 16

all the jump tricks switch too


ok that's about it. That's what I knew my second year at least.

This is also my second season park skiing (and skiing in general) I can do

-3s
-2s out
-working on switch ups
-working on but very unsuccessful at 2s on

But you should be looking at what you can/can't do according to others. Some people at 16 are hucking corks 9s, others are doing k-feds. It all depends on what your ability is and how fast you progress.

Hope this helps :)

1st Season you learn the basics. Second season there's a lot more options on what tricks you can try so progression is a lot different for everyone.

First year, I've learned to go down black diamonds, do 180s and 360s. I can also slide rails. My goal for next yeAr is to be able to do a frontflip by the end of the season. Shoot high :)
