How to become a park rat

village sized pants is what u need

Treegrabberthe real journey is long and tedious
far far away, in a galaxy far far away, there lays a temple encrusted in gold. The journey is long, testing ur mind, body, and heart. First, you must listen to 1000 hours of wutang. Once u finish this long task u may begin the physical journey. First u shall come upon ur first obstacle. A giant ogre named táñer haol. He shall be easy tu get by, but beware. If he is not asleep, he may be taking dick pics. If u are caught in the flash, u will be instantly disintegrated. Once u pass the first obstacle, the horizon will open up tu oceans full of baggy pants and bong water. The 500 mile stretch will have u begging for land. At the end however lies the temple. Once u reach the temple, speak the manic words,
”hang him off a 5 story building by his nutsack”
the solid gold door will then immediately open to the shining hall inside and then u will see him;
He will come running on all fours, a human clearance rack, covered in clothing. The father of park himself will then bestow u with the power of the park. if u take this journey good luck
it is not for the faint of heart.

xiaolongbaothis place gets interesting in the summer

Oh.Its.NuggsSo after careful deliberation and the fact anything remotely good for touring costs more than my car I've decided to go full park rat.

Now, I've been skiing since i could walk but I'm still fairly terrible, especially in park.

What does a dedicated park rat need, how do I go about progressing, how many bong rips do i take before i attempt to hit a rail and most importantly, how on goods green earth do you afford it? (For reference im a kiwi, everything's expenny here and the snows pretty average)

Any park rats in the upper south island that will take me in?

Regards,
A shit skier who just wants to lap the park with some homies xx

jompcockTake a full mtn lap every now and then. Just lapping the park can set you in kind of a rut and a top to bottom lap every now and then will help clear your head. Doesn't need to be often but being good at skiing in general translates to good style. Practicing switch skiing on mellow trails will help you develop good habits and make it less sketchy to go right to sending switch tricks.

Gonna answer the bong rip question seriously.... Take a few warm up laps before lighting up, most people that smoke first lap are either already really good, or have been doing the same tricks for the past several years.

Get to know the folks at your local ski shop. They'll often hook you up with cheap/free mounts for a plate of brownies/beer.

Unironically get Vishnus

Christian_BaleI kind of disagree with this even though I ride vishnus myself. If you're learning park, you're probably going to be landing backseat a lot, and the skis are indisputably very soft. Given those two things, flexing out will probably be relatively common occurrence (happens to me). I think it would be easier to have a slightly stiffer pair of skis that would be more stable for landings. then later on switch to vishnus.

not tryna suggest vishnus are bad for jumps at all, they're fine imo. I just think that going for a more "neutral" ski is better for a beginner park skier and then they can later decide that they wanna start flexing their skis more and get vishnus

jompcockI ride the plus and have tail pressed pretty hard on some jump landings but not really when just doing upright spins. I've been wanting to try the key which I'm sure would be better in that regard. I'll probably pre order them after this season if people seem to like them.
