Ok these tricks are confusing me. At peak n peek these tricks seem to be perfectly ok to do anytime at all. i usually instructors even ride with my group and flip with us. Holiday valley though inverts are illegal. This confuses me. Are flips in NY legal and Peek is just lenient?

There are many resorts now in New York and throughout the rest of the country that require you to take a test, either online or at the resort, to get a park pass. The resorts that do so will not let you in the terrain park without the pass. Out of the resorts that do so, the smaller ones often list on the test, their website, and/or at their resort that inverts are not aloud. This is not something that is frequent throughout New York, but more so for smaller places in general. It cuts down on liability. the medium-to-larger resorts in New York usually have no issues with inverts. From my own personal experience, Hunter, Windham, Belleayre, Gore, and Whiteface have no such rules. In fact, they don't even require terrain park passes.I'm a snollerblader.

I hope you are able to find something out about that. I would also suggest as something to assist you in inverts, if you have rollerblades see if there is a skate park with a foam pit to try out some different inverts into. They are great at not only giving you the air awareness that trampolines give but they are as close as you can get to skiboards that will teach you exactly how to throw the trick.I'm a snollerblader.

I couldn't tell you. I have never skied before. I snowboarded for 17 years and then started skiboarding this past January. I can tell you from doing frontflips on snowboards that it is easier to stick with the longer tail. It means landing backseat is cake. From what I have heard landing in skis works in the same way with having long tails to fall back on. Skiboards, much like rollerblades, with the shortness means that you have to be almost perfectly centered with your landings.I'm a snollerblader.

With a jump that size try going into it with medium speed and give a decent huck. You don't want to case it and at the same time not get too much speed and overshoot the transition. It is easy to get too much speed and overshoot smaller jump. Make sure you pop enough so when you come back down you can untuck enough to get a solid, comfortable landing.I'm a snollerblader.
