Progression Thread

Hey y'all, searched for a thread like this but couldn't find one. Every time I learn a new trick I want to post about it because i have 0 friends that care about park skiing, but feel like it would be kinda annoying if I made a new thread every time I slid a new rail or added 180 degrees to a spin. Wanted to make a thread where people can flex the new stuff they've been learning this year!

Yesterday, I was afraid of any kind of rail with a horizontal/elbow kink. Today, I laced a z rail and even managed to get a couple blind 2s out of it. Also slid a honkin rainbow that I was lowkey terrified of rupturing my sack on. It's the t rail at telluride if you know what's good.

Would love to hear from y'all. What new tricks are you hyped on learning recently?

animatorI just learned blunt grabs and Japan grabs yesterday, feels so fucking sick. I can’t spin more than 180 really so I feel good about being able to do something in the air to compensate for that. Progression is progression dude!

One step at a time. Take your time, you'll get there.

Yesterday I went and lapped the two rope and had the most progression I’ve had in one day on rails than I’ve ever had in a season it was so weird I was just locked. I learned all four two ons and then super fed, 3 swap and switch two continuing 2 all on a little Cuban. It was the closest I’ve ever had to a euphoric experience in my life

No park due to COVID this season, so trying new tricks in backcountry. Didn't go big but felt less scarier than sending it in the park ! Took 2-3 tries

Sent a backie for I think the first time yesterday. Found a nice steep jump but the way I carved into it kinda corked me a little and the landing had some ruts so didn’t work out. Still cool though considering I’ve never even done one on the tramp as a kid.

Progressed so much this weekend. Learned disaster to switch, hitting rails switch lip, got comfortable with higher rails, hand drag 1s, and land my first 360 today.

it’s not letting me edit the post so here’s the video separately i kept rotating on the jump so i caught my edges a lot but i accidentally tapped the jump in the air while spinning which looked kinda dope but wasn’t intentional lmao

You landed correct, so a stall in the rotation makes it even better.

Do some 180s first, get used to the switch landings, it's really helpful.

yeah i haven’t really ever had the chance to spin on real jumps but i’m completely comfortable doing them top speed off smaller rollers so that’s shouldn’t be an issue

Pardon the very excited friend's commentary (or don't, I think it's great)

i’m in the same boat bro, keep grinding. i’m to the point where i can bring it around 85% even when my tips do catch cuz i’ve gotten better about continuing my shoulder and head rotation, but it’s hella frustrating to have the same thing keep happening on repeat
