Off Season Training

There are many ways to practice your skiing tricks when there is now snow, and here are a few.

• Summer Setup- A summer setup is a hill or a fake hill normally consisting of astro turf, or any other artificial snow products. I have made one and a picture is on my home page. You can practice jumps, rails, boxes, or any other terrain park skills. Summer setups do not cost a lot of money and can be alot of fun.
• Trampolines- Everybody loves to jump on trampolines to have fun, but they can also be great practice for skiing tricks. You can practice flips and tricks and not get hurt. Make sure you are careful though, because if you land an odd way you can get very hurt. One great way to practice is to purchase a gymnastics landing mat and placing it on your trampoline. Simply jump into the mat and make sure that it does not hurt even if you land on your but.
• Summer Terrain parks. I am not fortunate enough, but some places in the world they have massive summer setups that consist of jumps, boxes, rails, and many more features. Check online and see if you are lucky enough to have one near you.
• Aggressive Inline Skating-Aggressive inline skating is wearing special roller blades that you are able to grind on and practice you skiing tricks. You can go to skate parks and learn a lot while having fun.
