That first moment standing above a park feature can be a mix of excitement and nerves. The key? Commitment.

Trust your line, breathe, and drop in with intention. Even the smallest feature can feel big at first, but every run builds familiarity. The more time you spend in the park, the more it starts to feel like home.

Pro Tip: Start small. Focus on good speed, balanced stance, and smooth approach. Consistency over chaos — every clean drop-in sets the foundation for future tricks.

Once you’re comfortable cruising through the park, it’s time to build rhythm. Flow is the invisible thread that ties every trick together.

Link your features, find your timing, and use the park’s natural rhythm to your advantage. Riding in flow helps you feel more relaxed, making it easier to try new things and react naturally to what’s ahead.

Pro Tip: Don’t rush progression. Some days are all about laps and flow; others are about experimenting. Trust the process — flow comes with time.

Progression isn’t about adding difficulty for the sake of it — it’s about doing what you already know, better.

Once you’re solid on straight airs or basic slides, start adding tweaks, grabs, or subtle body movements. These small touches build your understanding of how your body moves in the air — and that’s what prepares you for spins later on.

Pro Tip: Film your runs or ask a friend for feedback. Seeing yourself ride helps you notice what feels off and where you can add more control or style.

This is where things start to click. You’ve built confidence, found your timing, and now you’re ready to turn that airtime into rotation.

Start simple — 180s both directions. Then build step by step. Focus on clean take-offs and spotting your landing early. Remember, progression is less about going big and more about going smooth.

Pro Tip: Break it down. Visualise your take-off, practice the spin on flat ground, and feel the motion before sending it on snow. Your first real spin is one of the best feelings in freestyle — enjoy it.

Progression doesn’t happen in a straight line. Some days you’ll stomp tricks effortlessly; other days, nothing clicks — and that’s okay.

What matters is showing up, learning something every session, and keeping the stoke alive. Celebrate the small wins — from your first smooth 50-50 to your first 360. Every step counts.

Pro Tip: Keep a “progression journal” or video log. Documenting your journey makes every milestone more meaningful and helps you appreciate how far you’ve come.

At the end of the day, the Progression Sessions are about more than learning tricks — they’re about building confidence, connecting with the park community, and rediscovering why you ride in the first place.

Progression is personal. It’s not about being the best — it’s about being better than yesterday.

So next time you’re at the top of a feature at Superpark Planai, take a deep breath, trust your skills, and drop in with a smile. Because every lap is another step in your story — from first drop-in to first spin.
