standard mute grabs, I can't really do them and I don't think they look very special. People will probably say the same about tail grabs in 10 years though.

Front swap front 2 I have done a few and they are not very fun and they usually don't look all that good.

"Tailpresses" since theyre usually just basically sitting on their skis barely even on their tails, if at all.

Mostly true but every once in a while somebody can really press it out

I just learned those... disappointed in myself that I never landed a lip on blind 2.


For me, I hate going blind so I can do switch tricks way better than normal. sw 3s, sw 2 on, etc are way easier for me.

Not really sure I have a least favorite trick, but the trick that has always given me issues is the good old blind 2. I've been skiing park for 4 years now, k feds are no problem, but just a straight blind 2 I just can't do.

I had the same or similar problem when first trying back 270s. If you just go to switch, you turn your upper body to early and not enough set. Right before you pop you should be like opposite zeach, probly 130 degrees on the rail due to your set. After that it's all about opening that left shoulder and bringing your head and body around. Watch some vids and watch people who do back 4s and you'll see what I mean.

Misty flips. They look ugly 90% of the time. They look super sick off of rails though.

rail ballet in general, particularly like front swap, front swap combos and multiple switchups in the same direction on a box where someone is kind of just continuously rotating but also hopping up and down just to pretend they're switching up for every 180.. EEEEWWWW

"nollies" out of rails where there's not really any pop out to speak of and then some halfassed knee tuck backscratcher motion flails out and I die inside.

Ah god dammit, read the thread title as " what is your favorite trick in skiing".

Shifty 1 favorite.

All tricks involving 3+ flips are my least favorite.

^Lol bishop.

Least favourite tricks: anything done without steeze. I appreciate a stomped 3 much more than a shitty triple 16.

People that claim cork 3s but don't cork at all

@ 0:55, 1:00, 1:06, 1:09




Kieran NIkula 10/11 from kieran nikula on Vimeo.

the one at 3:47 is honestly one of the best in skiing. no arm movement, just a casual 80 foot cork 3

Kids that start 95% of their tricks on rails frontside cause it's their natural way (front 4s and 6s, kfeds, super feds, front swap back swap 2out...)
