I’ve never skied a double black

SchizoSkierConfession time. This is my second year skiing and I ski at copper so there’s no excuses here. My first year was kinda getting the fundamentals down then starting to hit small tubes , and this year I skied like 40 days , and like 35 them in the park and the rest with my family. Anyway here’s a list of things I’ve accomplished on my skis before skiing a double black. I guess I never got around to it

hit short tube
Back 2
Front 2
180
360
(end of my first season)
Hit rail
front swap
hit kinked rail
hit every feature in peace park
straight air copper medium line
backflip
360 every jump copper medium line
str8 air copper pro line
front swap pretz 2
back 4
back swap
back swap back 2
5050
sw5050
2 on
lip b2
frontflip
540
Hit (almost) every feature in central park
attempted flat 3 (rip my noggin and ski patrol sled virginity)



so yea lol who else got a similar experience ill maybe get around to it next season

Pakanakaare these in order because the fact that you did a bs b2 before 50 50 or a 540 is pretty crazy.

Icant_kfedIf your mtn doesn’t have double blacks, that’s understandable, but if you have regular access, and don’t send it, disappointing

ReturnToMonkeyCopper definitely has double blacks and they're definitely disappointing compared to the park so I don't blame him.

Impressive progress OP but yeah work on regular skiing skills a bunch, too!

dwt802Nice and good 4 u

but this sounds more like a

and reeks of

Rparrwhich one of those tricks did you find most difficult to learn, OP?

I remember bs b2 kicking my ass for a while when I was learning it. I still find that trick to be more difficult than 2pretz2

SchizoSkierI’m gonna try and ski more all mtn next season. I got had copper season pass this year and bought one for next season and I want to try to ski some cliffs and stuff but not sure copper has booters and cliffs outside of the park. I saw a thread earlier about someone being a good skier already but afraid to go into the park , I’m kinda having the opposite problem. Ofc I have all the fundamentals like carving and all that shit and I love skiing and carving switch, but I’ve never gone over 50 mph (not including the pro line). Also moguls are not fun for me and I see them as more of a hassle even tho I can do them kinda well and I think that’s probably what most double blacks are. I had surface givers which prolly suck for all mtn but I’m on jeffreys next season so maybe they’ll be a little more stable for moguls and other terrain even tho I’ll still be skiing park like 75% of the time. I needa learn how to hit jumps that don’t have a landing lol. Here’s the only clip I got outside of the park this season

Icant_kfedSpeak for yourself, maybe it’s just because I’m ass at park but I’d rather bomb some sketchy shit than park any day

SchizoSkier2 on for sure. I would either end up doing a 3 and missing the feature, or catch my front edge and die. Took me about 2 days and maybe 50 tries to actually get it and slide the whole feature. I can consistently do them now (like 70% of the time prolly) but only on tubes. Front swap pretz 2 took me nearly an hour also. Any technical rail trick without momentum is usually kinda hard for me. I like jumps more than rails cause it’s 90% sending 10% ski skill where as rails are really technical. Flat 3 was the first jump trick that I didn’t land my first attempt. I guess I’m naturally better at jumps than rails. I also learn all my flips on park jumps and Apparently that’s not a common thing to do while learning so maybe that helped me. Back swap back 2 was a little easier for me since your momentum is carried. I also learned it on a really fat tube, kinda like a pill almost.
