‼ I’m giving you guys FREE access to the tutorials directly from my private coaching program to help you get your start in Park Skiing ‼ - courses.slopeacademy.com/free-course
As a fellow coach watching this was a weird experience as I've taught exactly what you're teaching here hundreds of times. It's also quite useful to compare your teaching style to my own and learn from it.
@@joedemaio1342 Depends on your level and where you want to ski. If you're a beginner freeskier or want to ride a lot of power go 2cm back from centre, otherwise go dead centre.
@@joedemaio1342 Bought my 1st pair of twin tips Volkl Revolt 104s last summer, center mounted. I'm rather surprised that it doesn't much affect me going from my more back mounted Stance 96s to the center mounted Revolt. I was surprised how fast I am in the slush or mashed potatoes on my Volkls. My new young friends say on center mounts it's more like a surfy sensation. All I know is I was ripping on my Volkls this spring, and I never imagined spring skiing as fast as I was 2 wks ago on them!
Is it just me or is it so cool that Bruce takes the time to reply to everyones comments. Also these tutorial videos are so helpful. You explain it in a easy way to understand and don’t leave any of the important details to get a trick mastered out. I’ll definitely sign up for slope style academy
Hey man!! Thanks so much for the kind comment! I respond to every comment and dm across platforms, love giving back to you guys! ❤️ see you in slope academy man!
I’ve been skiing for about 10 years now, never doing any tricks besides standard jumps, and your video has helped me a lot and I’m very excited to practice these this winter!! Thanks man
I've got you so beat, I'm nearly 53 didn't do my 1st grab until Feb 2023! I didn't learn to ski until 24, the jumps & parks are at SUCH another level now. I hadn't been in a terrain park in 20 yrs until I started teaching my 15 yr old niece to ski last season. She liked my jumping and asked me to learn some tricks. Honestly 20 yrs ago I thought boxes & rails & grabs were rather dumb and pointless. While at my age I'm rather scared of rails, I now get that Freestyle-Freeride is about Pushing Yourself, overcoming your Fears, responding to the Challenge, and making more friends while at it! I'm a huge fan of Stomp It tutorials I even bought their Beginner Freestyle package before it went free but no regrets! Impressing my niece and my new friends at Squaw Valley (don't call me Palisades LOL!) w/my newly acquired limited Trick Bag is more than payback! I had goals of becoming proficient at the Spreadie, Safety, minor 180s, and Shifty this last season. I nailed all except the Shifty this season. I really struggled w/the concept of Shifty, until I got new boots last month. Going from 90 to 140 flex I found it much easier to get my skis UP, I feel like I only have to flick them up to grab now. While I never hit Shifty in 2023-24, in the last few wks I started hitting a 90 on certain jumps, and flicking the skis up in the back for a Toxic tailgrab, a most awesome and unexpected development! Anyways I meant to say much as I love Stomp It, they didn't provide on snow practice tips like you for Shifty, I find those very helpful. My ski season ended 10 days early after I back seated a jump I got more than expected air on May 18th, and screwed the landing, mildly spraining my good knee. But I can't wait to start training for 24/25 season now! Anyways I'm pretty sure I'm gonna join the program, I like the idea of your Freestyle Community. I find my new young ski baller friends at Squaw are of a similar mindset. Sure we raz and harass each other but we also root hard and support each other in our skiing. It's just that I recognize I'm old in the game and not aspiring to be a Pro or Sponsored. I just want to keep hanging w/my new young friends and improve the Stizzi in my skiing. Thanks Peace Out Bro keep on Sending It!
I'm a bit younger at 48. 😂 Started skiing at 35. Learning from trial and error and RU-vid. Always fascinated with jumps. Had a bad one off a small side hit and busted both my shoulders. Made up my mind to learn it properly and signed up for a Stompit fs camp! Had a final goal to end with a 360s but only manage several 180s, Japan grabs, shiftie, spreadie.. Gonna keep working on my 180, hopefully 360s, improve switch, learn buttering the upcoming season! Same here. Terrified of rails too after witnessing some falls ending up with broken ribs. . Someday maybe.. 😬
@@eddieyap7782 Right on man! Thanks for reading my book there lol! keep training/working bro you'll get there. I kinda had the same experience, I started grabbing 22/23, then started researching the 180 on YT, which lead me to Stomp It, which really opened my eyes. I had pretty decent jumping technique but learning the Popping principles really upped my game coming into 23/24. If you haven't gotten the Booster straps I really suggest doing so, my mind is still blown by my Pop power now. Never imagined I'd be jumping like this or learning tricks at my age, but my skiing hasn't peaked YET so I'm going for it!
Love this video, im just starting off in the park and you make it seem so much less intimidating and break everything down so well keep up the great work!!

Having perused your website and reading about Sharing the Wins, I have to share this. On May 13th skiing Squaw w/a big pack of 15 or more. There were 5-6 who live or work near Squaw and they're certainly the best & fastest. Proud to say I'm the best-fastest of the non-Tahoe skiers in the pack. It wasn't intended, but I somehow managed to catch up to the fast 4 20-someting yr old shredders. They were waiting for the next lift when I was spending in and they were CHEARING me on the catch up. I'm STILL stoked when I remember this! It's been a LONG time since I've gotten cheers, and this OG is just flattered and mind-blown to make friends, keep up, and ski w/real Squaw skiers. This is next level shiz that I never once Dreamed of! I never imagined starting to Send would open so many doors and introduce me to so many wonderful like-minded people. Thrill of a LIFETIME!

Thank you so much Bruce, i wanted to try these tricks my whole life and didnt know how to do them. Now i can do 180, grind, switch and almost everything you showed in this video. Nice and well explained for begginers just like me :D

Happy to hear that! If you want me as your coach and more in depth tutorials, check out slopeacademy.com ❤️ we have a great group of athletes and you'd fit right in!
Great Vids!!! Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge to the masses!!! I have a question, open to anyone here to answer...I'm an advanced skier on groomers and comfortable on black diamonds. Last year I started playing at the parks and loved it. I just got park skis (Chronic 94s from Line) and protective gear...My question is do I go with beginner DIN bindings like an 11 or is it fine for me to use a 13 or 14?
I have been skiing for 6 years and can go down black diamonds with ease, but I've never taken any time to do tricks/jumps. This was a great video to help me try my first tricks.
Just came across the video and advice is great. I have been skiing since I could walk but was never taught how to do basic tricks because I was brought into ski racing. Just from these simple tips I definitely feel more confident in building my confidence in the park.
Glad it helped! If you ever need more coaching or want to step you skiing up a notch, check out slopeacademy.com it's where I coach all my athletes and can give you 1 on 1 feedback ❤️
Been skiing for 15+ years and I finally started doing some baby jumps (about a foot and a half of air) and rode a box (at a very slow speed) on my last ski day lmaooo. I was just carefully winging it. But this is so informative! I need to work on my pops. Do you think it’s necessary or beneficial to trick with poles? I really don’t like using them but I need them to scoot on flat terrain sometimes, otherwise I just hold them in one hand so I can use my arms to balance, maneuver, for momentum etc
I’m 13 and really want to get into skiing, there are a lot of hills near me but I’ve just never gone. I am a high level hockey player so I feel like I could get the hang of skiing relatively quickly.
This was one of the best tutorials about beginning tricks out there. I’m going skiing in a week again and I want to learn how to do a rail slide. On my previous attempts, I’ve just been falling backwards or my feet were floating away. Do you have any tips? Or maybe even make a video where this is included

Wish I had a video as good as this when i first started skiing park great coaching. Also do you recommend getting shorter skis for park i use the edollo skis size 172 and am 5ft 10 but feel like i should go shorter
Heyy man!!! Thanks so much ❤️ I think that ski size is just fine, I'm 5'3 and ride 164 park and 172 for pow. I actually have a coaching membership for all level atheletes, if your still looking to learn more skiing stuff check it out 🤟🏼 we got over 100 athletes - slopeacademy.com
Yeah there's many ways to build confidence, a lot of time it comes down to putting miles on the right progressions and have someone you trust tell you you're ready... but for all these trick, you pretty much can't get hurt, minus a briuse or two
Hey man I know this video is 8 Months old and you might not be reading this but do you have any tips in how to become more confident when hitting bigger jumps. Like Ive been skiing since 15 years and I would say pretty advanced skier but still when I ski towards the jumps I don't have any confidence in my landing skills etc. Thanks in advance and great video
big big jump or normal jump? normal jumps for me works jumping in a way which causes rotation in the jump. so that you know the slope at which you take the jump is going to be decreased by this force. i am not great at jumps tho, i can only do tricks up to the 360
@bruce I’ve recently started learning some tricks and I really want to try the shifty, but I’m worried about injury - twisting my ancle specifically. What would you say are the risks with the shifty and what precautions can I take? Thanks!
Hey Bruce, I have a question, do you know how to flair in the halfpipe? I have been wondering how to do it. If you do can you make a video on how to do it, if not thats ok.

Hey Bruce I find that I can’t really Ollie and am not sure why. My skis are just not really flexing unless I lean all the way back but maybe because I am not that strong?
the first and best trick to learn is how to ride a mono ski, and then, riding one with your boots tilted sideways at that point you're ready to snowboard and you're good to go
@@BruceOldham i can only jump with those but like u did in the video I tried the Ollie but it it’s kinda heavy to lift off ground and it’s not flexible cause it’s like titanium

Hi!! Beginner here :) Which one would you recommend for beginners who want a little challenge? I've been looking around and only finding some that are either for extreme professionals or basic skills. I haven't skied in a while so I'm not sure which ones would be ideal for me :D

Wow, surprisingly I actually can do one or two things that can be named 'tricks'. Just need to learn another 12368 of them, hopefully I'm not too old to start.
