    The reason I started park skiing was because the community is so nice and is willing to help you with anything.

      Making friends is a lot easier if you're a ripper and obviously good. Good luck doing that if you're starting out or if you're older.

    Perfectly said! I would also like to emphasize that going into the park does not mean you have to be ready to get air, and it can be good training for building non-park skills too! The big jumps especially on a less sloped park are a progressing skiers best friend when it comes to getting comfortable on steeper slopes and learning how to keep momentum. Staying to the left or right of a jump and going over the "roller" gets you access to a very steep but also very short slope. Nowhere else on the mountain can you get accustomed to the feeling of pointing straight down a steep without having to worry about speed control, because you'll soon be back on a slope you can handle and manage your speed then.
    Another great feature if you can find it are the little rollers, almost like a wave of hills just a foot or two high. It gives you a place to practice the feeling of being on ungroomed terrain; how to work with your momentum instead of against it when it comes to weighting and unweighting skis - or more simply, when and where to make turns as you go over terrain variations. Its also a way to practice the feeling of skiing moguls without needing the technical skills required to make it to the bottom of a mogul field without getting yeeted.
    But my very first experience in the park was specifically to not hit anything. Back when I was a very green beginner, I didn't really trust that I was actually controlling where I went. I thought I'd be unable to avoid hitting features. But taking a lap through the park without hitting anything, I began to realize just how much more accurate and in control I really was.

    Just moved from the UK to Vancouver in August after having watched you do seasons for the last few years. So excited that I finally get to have my very own local hill and start progressing in my park skiing (rather than just in the Alps one holiday per year). Definitely copping some stickers!

    Can't wait for the season either and I love your enthusiasm. At 51 I still enjoy the terrain park, but there are certain things I never do. Rails mainly. Boxes are fine and I love jumps. Your advice to stay within yourself and progress gradually is perfect.
    Thx for all the work man. Have a safe and incredible winter!

    The thing that scares me is when big jumps are in a area high up on the mountain with not as many trees, so you cant see over the jump and it looks like you would just fly oof the mountain. Idk why, but im not scared of anything else, even big jumps elsewhere.

    1:17 as park staff, I can most definitely tell you the park is NOT for people who cant at least link turns on blue runs. It’s often the only place on the hill where you should at least be at an intermediate level. This is for safety reasons. That’s not to say you shouldn’t scope out the park before riding it. I encourage that no matter what level you’re at. I like this video👍

    For a long time I was afraid to go to the park, because one time when I tried hitting a rail for the first time, I fell down. And when I looked up, I saw a group of instructors laughing their asses of at me. Man, I was so embarrassed. But then I thought to myself: why would I care? If they are so pathetic to laugh at a point they have been, just let them be bad persons. So this year, I will just try and try this year, no matter what others think :)

      @TheBagOTricks  Місяць тому +1

      @@Stawexa I think first off just accepting that you might not land new tricks first try, or even after 50 tries, is really important! Every new trick you take on is going to be a battle, no matter how easy or hard you think it is. That's why park is such a mental challenge. Pushing through the failure to finally land something new.

    • @npgaming28
      @npgaming28 Місяць тому

      there is no bigger failure than never trying. you will maximize progression by hitting as many features as you possibly can. park is highly dependent on reps and getting the feel for the correct mechanics, it will also be very helpful to have someone better than you to ride with and give pointers
