Rare to land stuff first try, but there’s something really fun and inspiring about the risk that keeps you trying as long as you know you have the skill or at least are close to having enough skill for the feature you’re attempting to ski

I just stick to tiny rails, rocks, benches, etc. You don't have to go do the gnarliest thing possible to go street skiing

Learn to ride a flat base down stairs. It still sucks and you will crash hard, but most of the time you can get by. There's no question that street skiing is gnarly and you don't land stuff first try - watch LJ's real attempts for an idea of how long it takes to land a trick.

Just have to go for it honestly...I suck at park but my friends are always building backyard setups or finding urban rails so they usually pump me up enough to do them. That being said I'm taking a break from urban. Tried to hit my first ever dfd in the streets and had a couple good slides then some broken ribs

90% of urban skiing is knowing how to fall

i think the mental part of skiing doesn't get talked about enough. Skiing is half physical and half mental. Its just a matter of trusting yourself, your abilities, and knowing what you're gonna do i guess

Full tilts idk

Some dont have the balls

I would honestly argue park skiing is almost 75-80% mental game. I know for a fact I can do a backflip cuz I have, but I only muster up the nuts to do it once a season. Obviously it becomes more physical when it comes to doing triple cork type shit, but I would imagine the mental game required for that is fucking bananas still.

Seriously watching these made me feel so at peace with every fall I’ve had. I think sometimes we watch so many edits/movies we forget that even pros eat shit A LOT

Start small and work your way up. It can be fun and extremely rewarding to imagine something being possible and then make it happen

Challange rails are fun. Urban adds another element. That said some of the spots people hit are super fucked. Some rails arent bad

You're watchin too much skiporn my dude. A vast majority of kids hitting urban are hitting picnic tables and park benches or building small kickers and other low consequence shit.

Are you even skiing if you don’t hit hi ge gaps to urban rails ??

no you’re not

In my experience skateboarding is more painful than urban skiing. In skiing there is usually snow. In skateboarding there's not. But that's just my experience.

10/10 would recommend

I skipped to the one minute mark.. a little strange out of context.

That’s vicious
