I don't get it, tramp skills don't always translate to ski skills.

And Grizzly Adams DID have a beard.

People who ski and snowboard sucked at one and tried the other to see if they were good at something but they end up sucking at both.

Huck_E_CheeseBeing good in the park doesn't necessarily mean you are a good skier.


And inversely, just because you like park doesn't mean you're a shit skier that can't ski everywhere else.

haha classic switch over kids. so true. Also second one is so true as well. To many young kids coming up on the park with no foundations of actual skiing. Especially on the east coast.

Snowboarders can lincoln loop. If you're going by body, and not direction, that's wildcat/tamedog. If you're going by direction of movement, it's frontflip/backflip.
Also, I'm pretty sure snowboarders can't really 2 pretz 2, 2 pretz 4, 4 pretz 2, etc.

dan1080boxes are easier than rails


so true, I just feel completely out of control on most boxes plus they have so much more potential to be slightly broken or uneven

Ummm... flats can absolutely be done on a tramp /park jump. Either you misread the thread title or you are horribly misinformed.

You shouldn't be skiing on 'twintips' unless you're in the park going backwards and upside down.
