I'm from a real small local mt and every time I go somewhere bigger I get to see way better skiers both all mt and park then I do at my mountain.

So I was just wondering.. what's an "average" trick for your local park? Ours would be
"OMFG HE DIDN'T EAT SHIT ON THE KNUCKLE!!!!"

When I do flat 3s and backslap, their heads explode.

sketch 3s, flaily straight airs, sliding the whole rail is tricky.

I live at a tiny mountain, but kids are still throwin a couple of dubs on our 40 footer. Most common is frontflio, 360, 180, 540 and such. Flatspins corks and lincolns. lots of switch ups and 270 out. I ski at purgatory!

If you can call the jump and rail at my local a "park" then basically you recieve god status for doing a straight air. FML there's barely ever any freeskiers at my local mountain(hill)...

I ski at Park City. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.

Up at Eaglet, the easy park, I saw an underflip thrown on a jump no bigger than 5 feet. I was shocked.

I like the idea of this thread... and when I'm thinking about my home mountain, we seem to be pretty off standards. The thing is, that local snowboarders are some of the best in Europa or even worldwide. Clemens Schattschneider, who recently won the Junior Slopestyle Worldcup is one of thos examples... guy still boards often at my local mountain and is fucking nuts. Then there is this RedBull rider called Markus Swoboda, who kills it on rails like I've never seen it before.

The problem is, that my home mountain has no "hitable" jump like 95% of the season which is why people here are so much better at rails (except me maybe). The average Snowboarder here lip 2's into a downrail or even better.

The local skiers are all very young but already kill it for their age. There is this 10 year old boy who is doing fs2 and 7s. I'm always stoked on riding with the kids because they teach me how to hit those metal crap and I in return can show them how to throw some flips and spins.
