People need to learn to ride before hitting park features, but I don’t think anyone cares about my opinion.

Please tell me how I’m supposed to learn park without attempting to hit park? I fell about 20 times before finally getting a board slide down but if there’s a way I can do it without a tube can you explain

Side hits, rollers cat tracks, you need better edge control awareness so when you hit a feature you are able to stay flat and not edge on a feature. Just cruise the mountain more, once you can pop off any little snow imperfection or small side hit you’ll build more confidence getting air and controlling your edge. The part should be for seasoned riders. Like if you were skating I’d tell you to stay out of the skatepark too, go Ollie some curbs and grind a few curbs also. You need more control

You should at least be able to turn and ride without having your invisible buddy your holding with your back arm.
