Good for a female freeskier?

Question

i just started freestyle skiing last week. im able to do a 360 and boxslides.....is this good for a girl?

also, what should i try next.

thanks!!

Answer 1

Good for you. It took me 2 years to learn how to do a 360. What I would suggest you do is to start trying rails once you have mastered the boxes. You should also just begin to move up in rotations. Now that you can do a 360, try a 720, and if you even dare, try a 1080 once you are really good. And in your spins, try pulling grabs and helicopters (cross your skis). Keep up the good luck!

Hope this Helps.

Answer 2

Thats great for anyone.  Guys don't learn any faster than girls, its all in the person. Theres just more guys who do crazy stuff, so they get more attention.

Answer 3

yeah,  the female side of the sport has a long way to go.keep at it and ride with guys with skill all you can. the wimp out factor won't be there and you'll progress quickly. stick to what you're doing and add in the style part to those tricks, then move to other tricks.

Answer 4

very good

i would start adding in some crazy grabs to it and doing it on bigger jumps and what not i would start doing 5's yet until you have landing backwords down just as well as forword

i would say maybe some zero spins and what not to get ready for 5's

and losts of rails

spins on boxs

try a 270 onto a box or off

nice job

Answer 5

Heck yes.  I started skiing at 3.  It wasn't until I was 15 that I pulled a 360.  Most of these things are just nerves.  The fact that you went for it is huge.  For a guy or girl.  way to go.  

Up next...well, I would say a couple of things.  Keep doing the 360s to the point where they are automatic.  Also work on straight jumps with cool style, grabs and things like that.  When you get those tweaky styled out moves in good, try the 360 with a grab.   A great variation on the 360 is spinning in the unnatural direction.  If you bust a 360 off a jump, then a 360 in the opposite direction off the next jump you will be stylin'.

How about a 180? Both  jumping off backwards/front land and front take off/backward landing.  Then when you have that new take off/landing in the bag of tricks you can add an additional 360 and make it a 540.  

Spins on to and off the box are great.

Best of luck, be safe and rip it up.
