I learned by going into the terrain park and practicing. I've always worn at least a helmet, in and out of the park.

I just like to have fun. trying new things will always make you go home thinking it was a good day.

Just dicken around with friends. Trying new stuff, trial and error deal.

Helmet and I often have impact shorts on.

Taught My self everything I know about park and have never hit an airbag or water ramps. For flips I've just done them on a trampoline then just brought them to snow, preferably powder but we don't get much where I ski.

I started and still do ski on a suuper small hill and its park has kind of just been progressing each year just as I have with it. No one told me to ski park or taught me how to ski it, it was just a challenge so why not. I have and probably always will wear a helmet anytime I have skis on my feet.

I was a mogul skier, which gave me some air awareness, and I learned how to do 3s and basic tricks.
Then I started sliding rails one day when I was like 14 and just progressed from there. Nowadays I try to learn a new trick every time I go out. If not, that's ok.

If you can go to the park everyday and teaching your self once you get good make a name for yourself.

Definitely a mix between browsing NS, watching videos, and trial and error. I got the basic idea of how to do a 360 by watching videos and reading up on it but there will always be trial and error involved. A few tricks I just kinda accidentally learned too (switch 1, 5s)

took a tab of acid and a unicorn told me that i had to do a 360 or else he would impale me with his horn, thus the freeski life of mine was born

Hit up gymnastics clubs for the tramps and dive pools, work on tricks there, might not be exact, but will really help with air awareness, other than that, ski lots, ski park lots

Wait so you're saying the unicorn literally buried himself under the snow with only his horns sticking out and he was waiting for you to fall on your arse? Ouch. That's some motivational shiz right there.
