Skiing tricks?

Question

I'm skiing for 2 years (I'm 16) and I'm pretty good at it. However, I don't know any tricks, like jumping or other stuff like this. I want to learn that, but I don't know what to do! What should I begin with?

Answer 1

Begin with simple jumps. You need to be able to get airborne, maintain / control your balance, and land well. If you wipe out every time you catch air, you can't progress.

Once you have the jumping down the 180's, 360's, and 540's are fairly easy, just a matter of throwing a twist and timing it to match your height and speed to land with your skis traveling in the direction you want to go. Sounds confusing, but when you do it you'll see what I mean.

Answer 2

Start out on boxes and small jumps.  Once you are confident at getting air, try some tricks.  start with crossing your skis, once you can cross them good, try crossing them and bringing the tails up like a backscratcher.  Try some grabs.  Safety grab is the easiest, just reach down and grap your ski under your boot.  Mute, grab under the binding of the opposite ski of the hand you use, it will cause you to cross your skis.

Answer 3

Just check out the videos on Youtube or Google video.

Answer 4

The first thing is to tune your skiis, well waxed and sharpened make it easier to do any maneuver. If on rails or boxes, dull the edges under foot. Use a base bevel of at least 1 degree, 1.5 to 2 will give an easier turn initiation. Use the same side bevel.

  The first and easiest to learn is to ski backwards in a reverse wedge, the learn pivot slips and spins, practice a falling leaf for edge and balance control.  Increase your speed on these basics, and then take up swimming and diving, so you can practice aerial stunts.

  After this, try taking a beginning course in acrobatic ski stunts at a summer ski camp.  It does take some time to proficient at all of these things.
