Every year I have tried to learn more stuff off of jumps, the only thing I have been able to do is grabs. I can kind of hit a 360, but it's really sketchy. I'm afraid to send it because out here in the East we have this crazy weird thing that's cold and slippery and hard called ice. Any tips?

Here are some tips
1. Put some effort into it. Getting good at park takes years. You wont get better tomorrow by magic
2. Stop blaming the conditions
3. Dont ride to get cred. Ride to have fun

Man, I stomped my first switch cork 7 critical At Blue mountain's 60 footer step down. It was cold, windy and icy as fuck. All there was too it was progress to the trick and when the time was right, try it.

you ride with any homies that might be better than you? riding with friends def makes you a better skier since you all push each other. if your crew is about the same skill level as you then make your park laps meaningful and challenge each other to an extra rotation on a jump and so on. East coast ice just comes with the territory, it'll hurt a little until you start landing but thats just natural progression of any sport - there are plenty of boss riders from the east who put the work in

Watch some videos, try in your backyard, then try the trick out in the park. I live in the east too so I practice in my yard where there are less consequences if you mess up because there's no ice, then take it to the park. Or just ride with a more experienced person who can help you out.

Never found any skiers to ride with, all my friends board, I will try and tag along with some guys this year though.

Blue mountain is a great place to hone your skills. They have a huge variety of features. I never got board there. Sure the conditions are always icy (even during a snowstorm) but everything is really well kept. Check out Mt St-Louis/Moonstone, their park is really good too.

I have some shorts like these, and they have helped massively. Impacts in hard conditions are way less painful. The hips only ones are better than traditional crash shorts (that include butt pad) They aren't nearly as bulky as regular crash shorts, so you won't have diaper butt. Spendy but worth it, had the same pair for 4 seasons.
