the only thing that is going to help is to practice a ton, and don't be afraid to try something, but don't try something that is too far beyond you current skills, because I've seen plenty of peopele get hurt trying something they weren't ready to try.

learn the basics. seriously. how long have you been skiing? my personal opinion is you should been skiing for years before you make your way into the park.

Don't ever ski casually. Push yourself with every run, line, or hit. Skiing with people who are better than you will naturally challenge you.

visualize what you're about to do. Keep that in mind rather than every bad thing you're going to do to yourself.

thanks guys, i appreciate the tips.
btw i know i should railslide b4 pretzel lol. yeah for the guy who asked, i started off skiing and went to boarding, and i skied about 10 out of 30 outings last year. im comfortable on most runs, mostly because i skate very well as a result of hockey. so basically, the park's the only place i aint been. if i get the 07 fujas, could i learn slides and presses easier? would it have nice pop? could i still carve? thanks.

learning to slide boxs has been a very painful process for me. I can't wait to start rails.
