Threw my first misty on snow over Xmas and haven't thrown one since.

But really wanna land a misty 5/7 soon but only have dry slope to practice on at home and was wondering if there are any pointers about. Need to psych myself up to chuck one but wondering if there's anything I can do to land this cleaner/take this to 7.

English uni dry slope big air comps are normally won with some kind of 7 so really wanna get it down before our next one.

Pretty solid, try "buckling the belt" a little harder and less flip and your there or spot earlier and roll around to a 7.

Cheers man, been itching to chuck one on my local dry slope but they're just a lot scarier without a soft backcountry booter landing. Will think about "buckling the belt" that's a new one for me.

Ye as he said, try punching the midget as hard as you can and it should come round!

practice the misty 7 on a trampoline and get it consistent. when you try it on skis your body will know what to do.
