Smart Style
4 MAIN POINTS OF SMART STYLE
Make a Plan
- Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use
- Your speed, approach & takeoff will directly affect your maneuver and landing
Look Before You Leap
- Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage & warnings
- Scope around the jumps first not over them
- Use your first run as a warm up run & to familiarize yourself with the terrain
- Be aware that the features change constantly due to weather, usage, grooming & time of day
- Do not jump blindly & use a spotter when necessary
Easy Style It
- Know your limits & ski/ride within your ability level
- Look for small progression parks or features to begin with and work your way up
- Freestyle skills require maintaining control on the ground & in the air
- Do not attempt any features unless you have sufficient ability & experience to do so safely
- Inverted aerials increase your risk of injury & are not recommended
Respect Gets Respect
- Respect the terrain & others
- One person on a feature at a time
- Wait your turn & call your drop/start
- Always clear the landing area quickly
- Respect all signs & stay off closed terrain and features
