So I've been doing freestyle for 4 years. Everyone loves to talk about how good they are with these "edits" and things. I''m here to admit, to all of newschoolers that I suckkk. I don't really mind cause I'm still having fun, but its been 4 years and I only do 360s, off of 20 ft jumps max. And rail tricks, forget about it. FS 270 is about as far as I get.

I KNOW I'm not alone. This is safe place to admit your suckage.

skiing the most the last three seasons and I still can't properly grab and spin; I cant spin up to 9 tho (sketchy). rail game is decent and I've done a few inverted tricks.

In the same amount of time a friend of mine learned to dub flat 7. FML

Haha same here, that and the fact the most days I've gotten in season in the past 5 years was 5...


But in all honesty if you can do flips on a tramp comfortably all you need is the right kicker and balls, that's it. When I first landed my first flat 5 I was not expecting to land it I was seeing what it's like and I came to the conclusion that it is the exact same as a trampoline. Kind of weird.
Huh.

Im not that good either..... I can do 3's but not that clean. I really want to try 5's but haven't gotten the balls yet. I have attempted multiple front flips but only landed 2. I also got the balls to try a 3 off a like 25' jump. It was so scary haha. Oh and I hate rails haha, I can only do boxes and a 360 on a box.

been park skiing since whenever I made this accout in 2006. Rails i can kfed, 4 out, and 2 on if im lucky. Usually never scared of any rails. Boxes I can do more on. Jumps I suck 360s on 20-25ft jumps, mostly just like doing 180s. I think switch 3s are easier than normal ones as long as I can switch 180 I can switch 3 the jump.

My favorite thing is just trying to slide really long/difficult rails. My favorite is an srail to dfd we set up. Took a good bit of hiking to finally get it, but it was fun.

I've been hurt a lot and I'm getting to the point of my life where I need to stay out of the hospital. I still like to go out and have fun with friends. I may throw a couple flips a year but I generally steer clear of metal things. I broke my leg on a rail so It may just be mental but I've tried learning rails and have done it a couple times but it's just not there anymore.

This is where I belong. Honestly, I ski because it's fun. Hanging out with the bros, making stupid edits, and enjoying the outdoors is what I'm about.

I've been skiing 3 seasons now, with 3 grabs in the air, 270 outs on rails, and tail pops for days. Still progressing, but no where near "good".
