Looking for advice from seasoned competitors haha. Anyone have any tips on high schoring tricks and ways to achieve them? Was thinking a cork 7 saftey to a upright 5 tail. This sound good?

actually the key to winning comps is getting addicted to smoking cigarettes then making an underground street cut with other scumbags

I’m not a seasoned slope competitor, but I did do a slope comp once. For my first and only one, I just put together a run I thought was fun that I had about an 80% chance of landing, while trying to keep it as techy as I could. Ended up landing the run and did well, wasn’t a formal comp circuit though.

Don’t spin both jump tricks the same way. Have your cork 7 (if you can land it consistently) then either have an unnatural forward trick or a switch trick.

Assuming you are doing your local mountains competition and not a USASA event , people and judges will be looking for crowd pleasers. Lip on back twos , 2 pretz 2 , k fed , front 6 , and cork 7, and backflips. Things that look cool. depending on the skill level of your competition spinning both ways will probably be unnecessary. Switch tricks are probably a plus because people think it’s very cool to see someone ski backwards. If you do this things you should win all the swag they give away. Good luck

Sounds like Andri's standard slope run.
