Learn some flips (front, back, flat..) on trampoline if you can't already, it'll be super easy to bring them to snow next year

Summer setup. All 8. If you do all 8 routinely your rails skills will be unreal.

illusives are crazy hard... you don't just go straight to illusives from swaps.

I'm not saying they're easy but if you can Learn to swap then you can learn to do kfeds which you can lead to harder tricks like illusives

Kfed is front side switch up to blind 270 and illusive is front side switch up to front side switch up to blind 270


Remember learn every trick you know unnatural. This will make you a beast at rails in the future. You will have to learn it eventually anyways. Also a great tip for beginners is every rail trick basically comes down to 3 things speed, aggression and pop. If you get on the rail perfect and are going fast almost any trick is easy
