i hate it when you are in the park trying to learn something new and theres just the jackasses who already can land it and all they tell you is "LAND IT PUSSY". It makes me not able to land it.

Lean as far back onto the tails of your skis as you possibly can, AT ALL TIMES. This way, your tails are already preloaded for any surprise ollie-ing you might need to do!

Don't actually strap on your boots. Just slip them on and clip in and you'll never have shin bang, because they're loose.

Keep your ski boots in the car overnight... That way you don't have to carry them as much.

So many tutorial videos out there like:

1) Ride up to the jump
2) Pop off the lip
3) Do the cork 7
4) Land

Custom footbeds are unnecessary. Grab some out of your nikes and stick them in your liner and you're good to go

Look the opposite way that you are trying to spin

When going switch look in between your legs so you stay symmetrical down the mountain

when you order boots make sure to get them couple sizes big cuz on those cold days ur gonna want 3-4 pairs of socks..make sure to tuck your sweatpants in tight around your shin for extra warmth and padding.

Get the longest poles possible, they help your balance in the air
Of you don't have snow pants, your Carhartt work pants will do just fine
