How to start with freestyle skiing?
If you fall once, you will realize that it doesn't hurt (except if its really icy) and the fear will usually go away. Also try to make friends with other skiers.

Where do you live?
mystery3Where do you live?
Germany
Learn how to fall. It's one of the most important skills and will make your confidence be way higher
EmirGermany
Do they offer freestyle lessons at the indoor sparks?

No im watching the tricks online and try to learn them and land them right :)

Umm.... falling hurts like Medusa’s cunt sometimes except in pow pow
gotta learn to fall that’s no 1
Watch some how to vids and start small with box slides then move to rails
best off if you can already pop , at least spin a 180 , and land switch
For sure meet some skiers who are better than you. Watch and ask for tips. For the love of skiing they will help you progress. But you have to put the work in and take some spills. Know your limits and wear a helmet.
Buy helmet and use it, watch all of traveling circus, build a dryland setup for some practice and buy a season pass to the nearest ski hill with a park.

u must not go very big ;)
Wasn't talking about myself. I assume that op won't go very big cause he is a beginner. Also saying that falling always hurts won't help him to come over his fears.

Fang an zu Rail/Box/Tube rutschen mit kleine, dicke Boxes. Fahr gerade auf das Box, spring, bieg 90 Grad, und land mit deine Fusse aussen deine Schultern. Du sollst deine Fussen stellen NICHT wie in ein Hockey-Stop--wenn du es so machtst, wirst du deine Arsch busten auf dem hartes Box. Wann du am ende der Rail bist, bieg 90 mehr Grad sodass du vorwarts oder switch am Schnee fahrst. Wenn du Boxes rutschen kann, konntest du dann fangen an zu Tube/Rail rutschen. Rail rutschen ist fast genau ahnlich, aber man muss sein Korper mehr wuchten.
Aggressive Inline Skates helfen auch mit Rails lernen, aber du hast schon mit Skateboarding angefangen.

StankDankinFor sure meet some skiers who are better than you. Watch and ask for tips. For the love of skiing they will help you progress. But you have to put the work in and take some spills. Know your limits and wear a helmet.
exactly! ski with people who are a little better than you, watch skiing videos, wear that helmet, and every now and then give yourself a little push to try something scary but ONLY when you can truly visualize yourself doing it. that sounds stupid but it's really true in skiing
think of park skiing like a tree of skills. you start with a small bulb at the bottom and as you learn things you can branch out from them and learn other stuff. and everyone's tree is different, so take note of what parts feel easier to you and branch out from them first
also ask questions (here and in real life) and once you get going on tricks, try to get videos of yourself because you (and/or people on here) will very easily be able to see what you're doing right and wrong

Most Americans do speak English well...it’s all derp vape derp derp
Id like to think a lot of our internet speak is just laziness I like to shorthand , use slang etc just to save time
personally i cannot write my own name in cursive anymore , haven’t had a consistent need for any writing in years when I try omg lol
the local schools no longer teach cursive 🤷🏼♂️
Some resorts have park and pipe lessons with ski instructors, if you want to by-pass the learn-for-yourself way. Watching a shit ton of ski movies will no make you learn tricks. It comes with practice and trial and error.
Dont be afraid to ask around in the park, most people are really nice and give ya a few pointers on the spot.
Avoid Camps, unless your a trust fund child; they are crazy expensive just for the basics.
The best way to enjoy freestyle is to go out there and try.

Ski fast. Take chances. Find a spot to launch yourself through the air, and once you've got that figured out, huck a backflip. Your world will change and you will never be the same person again.

A backflip on skis :O that is my goal to do that
Hey man, totally understand that it is scary to hit your first rail. Sounds like you're on the right track by starting with 50-50's on boxes. Stoked that you are keen to get better at jibbing. We have made our own tutorial on how to progress from boxes to rails and think it could be really helpful for you. Feel free to check it out here https://skiaddiction.com/blogs/tutorials/hitting-your-first-box

Consume nothing except packaged ramen and Monster
fill your instagram with photos of chairlifts
look at any feature of a city and think about how to jib it (doesn’t matter how unrealistic)
be ok with being broke
-feel free to add on anything I missed-

Set reasonable goals and go step by step. Try to master each trick before you add on to it.
Talk loudly about the time that Rockstar Rep said your 2 on 2 off was cool several times per day
And dont fall into the “i only like hitting rails, jumps are lame, im a rail jibber” trap.
Everybody knows that in order to score poontang in the park you have to send it on the big line.
Not being able to hit jumps is degenerate.

also OP, one of the big things for progression and upping your confidence levels is ski the park when its warm and slushy
best time to fall couse you really wont get hurt like ever

Excellent point. Slushy or crunchy wet snow makes the park seem like a padded playground.
i dont do much when its boilerplate ice. Falling on ice is about as much fun as being gang raped

Except if you live in New England

Mostly we have only girls camps (for free) in Austria. But you can also go to the Stompit Camp on Stubaier if you are a rich kid. Aber du kannst auch einfach in irgend nen Park gehen und einen x-beliebigen Freeskier fragen wie das so geht. So hab ich das gemacht.

These and that. Some people are learning fast, some not. I started the freeski game 2 seasons ago. I still don't know the name of the most tricks I do - but I love to ski. My favourite is 5050 on polesticks 180 off. Hope I will do it with a 360 this season. And backie and cork 7 is also a goal.

Had enough of that in my life too but Germany seems like an easy and worthwhile acquisition
