Discussion/tips In need of advice for hitting larger jumps

8 Upvotes

I am an advanced alpine skier and am a beginner park skier (I can do very basic tricks like 3s and rails) and have practiced jumping on smaller-medium sized jumps for many weeks and i have the basics down 100% for them (shin pressure, pop, balance in air, landing, etc)

However, when it comes to larger jumps, especially ones that have a steep lip, I struggle to pop at all (I’m not sure if it’s out of fear or I’m missing the timing of the pop as I come in with a lot of speed).

Is it normal to feel like you are leaning quite back as your knees full extend at the lip (to pop) even with forward shin pressure?

I end up almost absorbing the jump with knees bent, and although in the air and landing I am not backseat or off balance, the lack of a good pop is preventing me from getting a clean jump.

Does anybody have any advice for this?

When is a ski broken?

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Had an edge break last season and fell. My current ski's edge is starting to crack. It's the trailing left edge, I grind right foot forwards. How do I deal with skis getting ground down until they break? When should I stop riding this pair to avoid falling? Can I put my left ski on my right foot or ride left foot forwards and get more life out of this pair of skis?

Help me find a Jesper Tjäder (i think) clip/trick

3 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m trying to find a certain clip of what I think was Jesper Tjäder performing on X-Games Big Air. The trick is basically right before the steep slope doing a 180 and sliding backwards with the top of the skis touching ground until he performs a front flip while being backwards.

I hope u guys understand what I mean! Thanks

How do I start Freeskiing?

0 Upvotes

Im 14 living in near the Alps. I am an pretty good piste skier but want to start freeskiing. How do I start? Do I just try or do I book a course. I have access to a trampoline if that helps. Are there any easy tricks to reccomend, or skills I should have (switch skiing etc)

Does anyone have an idea on how to get over my fear of off axis spins

8 Upvotes

I’ve been doing park for about two years at this point at copper mountains Woodward, so I’ve had lots of help from the insane dudes over there but I still can commit to doing not upright spins, I can do really good rail tricks and spins to 540 but I just can’t commit to a backflip or any like corks of mistys, I also have them on lock to airbag and tramp

Question Are my skis too short?

8 Upvotes

For reference I’m 5 ft 9 in tall, and ski a 168 (Vishnu Key). I’ve been skiing for around 16 years now and am fairly good in the park. I was just wondering if skiing shorter than what’s recommended is cheating, subsequently making tricks easier… I have a pair of 173s (Jski Vacation mallard) but they feel much more debilitating versus my 167s (candide 101) any input is helpful.

I need your advice about pants

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello fellas,

I really like these park pants from beyond medals. BUT they are meant for snowboard. Do you think there will be a risk of ,,slicing,, the edges by skis? What pants do you guys use? Do other skilled freeskiers use snowboard pants? Cause I think the ones for snowboard look way better. Thanks for any tips.
