For the past few years Ive generally been more keen to pick natural stuff over park and even in the park I've just been hitting jumps. I want to really bunker down this season and become decent at park skiing, where should I start?

wait for powder. Shouldn't hurt that bad if you fuck up.

Fair enough, He didn't get hurt though on the landing which was just a bunch of loosely piled snow. So it looks like powder is the trick to learning them next to water and trampolines

When you eventually try your first backie, if you don't have an airbag, you will land on your back first try. I did it, and 5 of my friends who did it this last weekend did the same thing. All landed it within 4 tries

Well all i can say is commitment but it really happens to everyone first try unless you have an airbag. Ive been doing them on tramp for 6+ years and fell first time. My friend learned backie this summer on tramp and got it 3rd try on snow. Really if you have a airbag that makes the difference (i did this and it helped a shit load)
