The temperatures are dipping as we are only a few long weeks away from opening weekend at some resorts.
My goals are to finally get fat butters like Max Hill as well as master switch carving.
So NS what are your goals for this season? Also update us as the season progresses to how you are doing with your goals. Enjoy the Gnar fellow NSers

IMotive my rail game, super fed, 2s on, bring my sw 2 on to k Feds, sw on Ray Charles, and a lot of other variations. For jumps I want to get good grabs with 7s and corks, rodes, flats, and overall just do tricks that I just can do, like I just go ham every so often and can throw down but I just wanna ski like that all the time
e~bsince op fixed his mistake, my goals consist of 2 things: 270s on and blind switch ups. those are the two tricks that evaded me too long.
Learned back swaps over the summer and they are easy after like 10-15 hits. Spot the start of the rail while you pop and use a little counter rotation like a 270 on to stop your self from spinning farther and then quickly spot the end of the rail again. I actually backslap and as i land again spot the end of the rail, instead of spotting before i pop but thats just me. Brittany's should come pretty easy once you get comfy with them

thanks man, I've done em before but just never really locked in on them. You are right tho, brittanys came very easy when i did lock in a back swap

Most important thing is the spotting of the start of the rail and a little bit of counter rotation. This will help you stop and go to switch/ray charles. Got my first ray charles today on my setup
Im focusing on style. I want to be that guy who hauls through the park at absurd speed. I want to tap rails so hard, I go through a pair of skis every month (ok maybe not that hard cause I'm broke). I just want to ski super fast, and super aggressive. I want to keep it super smooth at the same time. I have finally discovered that this is the style for me, I just need to perfect it. Through trial and error I have discovered:
1. I look bad without poles.
2. I should not wear skinny pants. Ever.
3. I'm not one for butters/tailpresses.
4. I'm not one for swapping on rails.
THEDIRTYBUBBLEI have finally discovered that this is the style for me,.
yes. fuck yes. more people need to find their own style, something that they think is the dopest shit out and not just the same old park skier style. people see their first casabon edit and assume that the only way to have style is to copy everything he does, untrue. the only way to have style is to do your own thing at all times and make sure you are having fun and youre digging what youre doing
Coming off a shitty season last year with 2 concussions and 1 broken collarbone, I've kind of re-thought my entire approach to park. I would really like to learn more creative type tricks rather than tech tricks: hand drags, butters, presses. I just want to get a little more creative in the park. I also want to try and charge rather than just stop and wait at every feature, I've done that every now and then and it's super fun especially with a good crew. I also want to explore new mountains and meet some cool people along the way. Hoping for a good, injury free season this year.
Jon_Tafferdefinitley front 2, if you can 180 and slike a rail, you can front 2 off. watch a lot of trick tip videos it will really help
Thanks man. The only thing I'm afraid of is landing backwards because last year my skis would ALWAYS pop off but I'm upping the DINs so hopefully this year they wont
