Not something I’m planning to work on this season, but how do you start to get comfortable catching some air? I have no desire to do park jumps, rails, boxes, etc., but I’d like to feel okay with the occasional mandatory air on a mountain if I were to come across it. I was at MRG recently, and there was a spot under a chairlift where there was a mandatory drop these kids were navigating. It was actually quite large looking to me, and I made darn sure not to go on that trail because I don’t know what I would have done if I came across it, though i think there may have been a go around in the trees.. Anyway, in my overall quest to be able to go confidently anywhere on a mountain, without necessarily knowing said mountain really well, I think being able to handle a little bit of air would be a good skill to have in the toolbox.
Anyone have any experience learning this? My first thought is that some sort of park clinic would probably be the easiest thing to find, as long as I wouldn’t need to ride fixed objects like boxes and rails because I have terrible images of falling on those things and breaking a bone or my teeth..
Thoughts?
