Hey guys. I'm a relatively new skier, and even newer park skier. My general strategy is just to huck it and hope for the best, and I've seen a ton of progression. At the beginning of the year I was sketchy on tiny rails, now hitting the bigger rails with no problem. But tricks are a whole different story. Even spinning on jumps. I huck it, but it seems like I suck at spinning, and can't spin fast enough, and on rails I often lose my plan midrail if it's not a really easy feature, and no matter what I wanted to try I just don't. So I guess the question is how can I spin better and also be a little more aware in order to actually put down some tricks, even just the easy stuff.
Well as for the problems with spinning and air tricks, trampolines help a ton with learning how to control yourself while in the air. Also, if you are new to skiing it helps to work on just general skiing technique before working on park skills so that you have a solid foundation. Most of the other problems should go away with practice as you get more comfortable on rails and jumps.
Hope i helped
