Hey guys I've been getting into the park lately and have got some basic tricks down like FS 270 out, 180, 360, sw 180. But it's time for me to sack up and chuck my first cosack. I'm kinda nervous tbh. I've been practicing on the tramp all summer and I can do them pretty well. Any tips for trying my first cosack on skis?

Don't tear the crotch our of your pants. That's what I did, and then I got tot go interview all the ladies of AFP in crotchless pants. Wouldn't have been so bad, but I wore the tropical flower undies.

That's the best case though. Everyday is a day at the beach baby.

Do one as fast as possible at first, then keep slowing it down to bump up the steeze factor.

I honestly think ripping the pants in that area was a good move for you.

Yeah I'll do it fast first. My friend tried laying one out way too big and ended up breaking 3 ribs, ruptured his splin, broke his ankles, and lost his virginity to his ski pole.

I remember the first time I ruptured my splin.

I had a similar thing, only I landed it and didn't injure myself. My splin is ok. Just make sure you commit, or you're gonna have a bad time, and make sure you have enough air time. You should make it though.

Had the same effect as strategically placed thigh vents.

There is zero reason to be worried. One of the easiest trick I've learned. Also very fun and you can do them on so many features

You gotta go straight into the mule kick to Cossack. Way more dramatic. Big arm swinging all the way.

There are really only 3 tricks a skier needs in his or her repertoire. The Cossack, spread eagle and the daffy. they are all real crowd pleasers and if you don't turn atleast 3 heads on a lap then it's a waste of a run.
