How to Get Better At Park Skiing 😱 6 Proven Tips!

[@sooperdoopercooper2939]

Thanks for the tips, they are really helpful! This season I tried one right 360 (I spin left) but I didn't land it, and we had to leave after my first attempt, but I didn't get to go skiing again because of corona. But, I have learned opposite corks on my trampoline, so thats good (:

[@BruceOldham]

Dude that's awesome!! Let me know if you every need any help man! get those both way corks to snow soon ;)

[@AlmerLundstrom]

Where are you now in your progression?

[@zion1385]

As someone who learned most of park on a pair of crappy Rossingol race skis and some low end boots in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, the first one is questionable, but it will help

[@BruceOldham]

It will defiantly help, excepcially if you want to take it to the next level and progress faster! I learned on a pair of un centre mounted Rossi's too 😂

[@ethangardner6946]

I learned how to drive in a Honda accord. That doesn’t mean it’s faster than a gtr. Learning park on twintips will give you a huge advantage.

[@TheGritGuys]

currently learning park in a $100 set up of $40 boots and $60 skis and i’m loving it

[@donalddarko4871]

"most of park" on race skis. Yeah sure.

i'm 63 years old. and I've been skiing for 33 of those years . I'm going to send it at the park tomorrow. Thnkas to this video.

[@BruceOldham]

Yessss DOOODD!! I love that ❤️❤️ Best of luck!!

[@oliviahenderson6953]

I was really good last year and could do a lot. But last year I broke my collarbone and have been scared to try things again. So right now it’s just about building confidence again. Been binge watching videos like this recently.

[@BruceOldham]

Damn dude! Well I'm glad you back on the train ;) build that confidence my man ❤️

[@floopygoober]

Hey great video man. Really solid advice can’t wait to get into the rest of your content. I remember actually seeing you at Whistler a few times and never really said anything but I’ve been studying a lot trying to learn the mentality for corks this upcoming season. You are definitely right about the spinning both ways too, I used to only spin 3 and below both sides but now when I throw a 7 I sometimes forget what way is my natural spin it’s kind of funny and really handy any time you have to carve into a hip like feature.

[@BruceOldham]

Hope you enjoy the rest of the content my man!! ❤️ Next time you see me come by and say hi champ!!

[@jackalexander8620]

Honestly very good tips I don't think I know a whole bunch of people who have that mentality to work off the mountain too, but great advice also I recently just learned opposite slides and I noticed it helped with my regular slides in general so great advice!

[@BruceOldham]

Thank my guy ❤️❤️ I really appreciate it! And yeah dude, the off hill work is where the magic happens, boosts your confidence for when you get back to it! - Big hype on the unnatural slides my guy ❤️❤️

[@Payton-ge8rd]

[@brockjudd8650]

make a vid about spinning onto rails like 2's and 4's on.

[@BruceOldham]

I can definitely do that man! I was thinking of saving those style videos for next season so I could film the on the actual hill and do the trick on camera... what u think??

[@brockjudd8650]

ya for sure save it for next szn so you can make a better quality vid.

I definitely not a park rat, I can do small things like a 360. I want to do a 540, but I can also do rails just as long as they aren’t to high and I go on straddle.

I would try to go to a trampoline place or a gymnastics club man!! Also flat ground tricks could be a possibility

Yeauupp

[@ethandennis368]

I don’t care about comps at all, and will probably never compete, but just want to progress and throw the best tricks I can, do you think learning right side tricks is super important if my only goal is good left side tricks? I haven’t really had a problem with spinning right on rails, feels different somehow, but I am really not sure I could do a right 3 on a jump. Would right spins improve my left side consistency?

[@BruceOldham]

You should set a goal of spinning both ways, either way!

@@BruceOldham okay thanks:)

[@hopNglo]

@ A73fn - anything will slide the rail, but a slalom ski or directional ski is sharp, stiff, and made to get a bite on the snow…almost exactly opposite what you want in the park. A twin tip ski will make your experience much more enjoyable, but certainly don’t let a slalom ski stop you from getting in the park and having some fun.
