Ground Trick Classes
Every class follows a clear progression. We start with simple patterns, build stable positions, then link them into flowing lines.
Level 1 – Foundations & Balance
Ideal if you are new to ground tricks or still feel wobbly on green and blue runs. We build the pieces that make every trick safer and easier.
- Neutral stance, alignment, and board setup.
- Flat‑base control and edge awareness on mellow terrain.
- Safe falls and recovery drills.
- Simple 180s and weight‑shift patterns on flat ground.
Format
- 2–3 hour session, 1:1 or small group.
- Location: winter resorts (Japan) and selected indoor slopes.
- Includes video clips of key reps.
Level 2 – Presses & Simple Butters
For riders who are comfortable on most resort runs and want to start pressing and buttering without catching an edge.
- Nose and tail press progressions.
- Switch balance and stance symmetry drills.
- Flat 180s, nose rolls, and basic spin entries.
- Speed management for safe practice zones.
Format
- Half‑day or full‑day sessions, 1:1 or small group.
- On‑snow + short dryland warm‑up.
- Follow‑up drill list to keep practising on your own.
Level 3 – Combos & Style Lines
If you already have basic butters and presses, this class helps you link them smoothly and add your own flavour.
- Linking presses, spins, and switch transitions.
- Using small terrain features and side hits for flow.
- Speed control for longer flat‑ground lines.
- Style exploration: posture, arms, and rhythm.
Format
- Custom 1:1 or small crew sessions.
- Video breakdown and trick‑by‑trick feedback.
- Option for multi‑day progression plans.
