Well I would say a grab would be #1 to start off with but 180 arnt that hard at all and just do them not straped in and then strap in and do them in like your living room (or big room in your house) Oh and Bleezie being an AASI member isint hard at all (the only thing that sucks is the 4 days training) but other then that its easy to do and well worth doing because you can tell ppl your a certified instructor.

its also alot easier if u can build your own stuff to practice on, becuse you build it to your skill level and learn to get comfortable

for jumps i would try indys at first i find them really easy and for rails try boxes and make sure there ride on and not ones were theres a jump onto it and work your way up and the building your own stuff idea i agree i have a 5 foot pile of snow in my yard and iv been setting up rails and jumps and you get to build it how ever you want and you feel alot more comforable in your own yard compared to the terrain park

this stuff helped me get a good idea of what to do in the future. what do you think is the easiest trick to learn that will help me out with other tricks later on?

ive been in the park for a while now and i was just wondering if anyone can give me any tips of frontboards im tired of smashin my face

start small 180's 50-50.. expand trick list when your comfortable

try indies  dont be afraid 2 try boxes and railes their not as hard as they look

The way I got in to jumps was by just slowly riding over funbox and then slowly went faster and faster untill I could clear it. It worked for my brother too and he can barely turn

Fun boxes and basic jumps are a good place to start. You can prep for these outside the park. Everytime you go over a roller, pop over it to practice getting air and landing. Ride switch when you can. For boxes, mark a line in the snow and practice riding over it on a completely flat base. This stuff is all easy, but it's good to practice and it's pretty fun.

ollies, nollies, tail/nose presses. Can you ride switch
yes to all of those
ive been riding coming close to 8yrs now and i feel im fairly decent i can do 180's and 360's Regular and swich fairly gracefully
i love free riding but want to start approaching the park more i went last year and did some jumps and boxes and didnt fall felt comfortable but next week on monday im going to bigbear or mt. baldy not sure yet but i want to try somthing a little bigger then the ride up boxes any suggestions?


Rails scare me want to attempt it but not sure where to start

thanks! i wonder if mt. creek has any lesson for the park? that would be cool!

its really cool that your trying to advance your skills, and do it smartly. (something i have failed at doing)
i dont know about your mt., but mine had a freestyle camp that i signed up for and learned a ton! you might want to check the website if they have one, and see if theres anything like that going on. also, make sure you have a helmet(boxes hurt a lot more than you'd expect)
