my local dry ski slopes getting a quarter in a week, going to be sick
but being a dry ski slope skier i dont really get chance to hit any form of pipe etc. so im wanting to get some new stuff , thinking flairs, the quarter pipes at the bottom of the slope horizontal to it. any tips to how i can get them?
by the way iv already used the search bar and nothing that useful has come up, and iv posted a post in the trick tip forum but its a bit quiet at the moment being end of season etc. so its not even had any views yet
thanks for any constructive help!!

the best tip for doing flares is not to do flares.
...but, you could come up to the qp, preferably with a little bit of angle (so not perpendicular to the top of the qp) and you could either: set it as a quasi-lincoln loop and spotting the landing the help ensure the slight rotation needed, or set a backflip and drop your shoulder. i wish skiingmotion was still around because it is just easier to visualize it than to explain it. Watch ski movies or clips online, and just focus on it. Just gotta try it and see what works for you.

holy irony right there.................
but some people come at an angle and throw it like a regular backflip, others throw it slightly like an inward side flip

ride up the 1/4 with your legs bent, and just lookk threw your skis droping your elbow/shoulder back, go with the flow, that's a flair!

easiest way to do it is to come at it at an angle and set more like a lincoln 180 than a backflip 180. Big key point is to wait until the top of the wall before you set the trick. Not trying to scare you but ussually first time you do a flare in the pipe you have absolutly no idea where you are, then all of a sudden you're landing backseat and washing out.

it hurts more than snow but not loads, the main thing is u have to cover all your skin, friction burns can be very nasty on it. but as for the impact, its got about an inch layer of padding underneath apparently, so it still hurts but its not like hitting concrete or anything
