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?

Yo pimps need advice for an appropriate progression. So far I’ve learned kfed. Unnat back 2. Front 2 and switch 50. I’m doing a summer setup and I wanted to progress in the right way. I need to learn natural b2 but other then that don’t know were I should go with my progression

every trick you do natty learn it un-natty right after. being ambidextrous on rails while you're still learning the basics will let you do any trick you want down the road and make you insane on rails.

i've been skiing park for like 12 years and finally did my first back 4 so i'm pretty pumped on that.
