ProductZMushilaTroop Great Job! That was a very well written summarization. Although it seems easy for you guys to explain it is a lot harder for us beginners to understand it because we dont know how to physically do it yet. I dont think that there is only one way to word things either. Some people may understand it easier explained from different points of view. I am keeping Mulisha's post on record for my beginner box/rail study guide. Unfortunately I am not there yet. My situation is very similiar to roadrunners although, I have been riding for several years. I can rip the mountain in half but when it comes to the park I am right there with ya buddy. I plan to get a intro to park lesson but before then I would like to get some of these basics on my mind. You guys are doing a great job of explaining them. Keep it coming. Bleezie - MushilaTroop, or any other instructor your knowledge is appreciated and if you could write a summarization of what you might tell someone in a lesson for each trick that would be sweet.
for example. Ill start a format - for each trick if you guys could make the same list shown below; except with your own words of advice following.
1. RIDING SWITCH
-
-
2. OLLIE
-
-
3. NOLLIE
-
-
4. NOSE PRESS
-
-
5. TAIL PRESS
-
-
6. BUTTERING
- "a butter is a tail/nose press ON SNOW, WHILE ROTATING. It's not in the air, or off a jump. A single "butter" would be a rotation of 180 degrees from nose to tail or vise versa.
NOW, to do a butter 3,5,7,9, or whatever,
1. First practice tail/nose presses and spinning 360 degrees on snow. Once you are comfortable finding that center of balance and keeping it;
2. As you are doing a tail/nose press, turn your head and shoulders in the direction you want to spin, if you turn your head 360 degrees, your body and board will follow. Make sure you keep the tail/nose press thoughout the spin (ON SNOW). Keep spinning till you want to end the trick;
3. Once you want to finish, either ollie out, or simple reconnect your tail/nose with the snow and continue on shredding. Voila, it's that simple." - MikeTrick 2006

(I know some of these were briefly covered already but it would be good to get advice from any instructor who has taught a lesson)
Feel free to add any other excersizes you feel are important before entering the park and then we will make another format for beginner park tricks. ride on box/rail etc. (is this too much to ask?)
