Intro to terrain Parks (& flatland tricks)
(For intermediate riders and above)
Using a SMART approach, this clinic is for snowboarders who are new to terrain parks. In this clinic, you will learn the commonly accepted park etiquette and rules, how to inspect and identify the features in the park and boarder cross course (e.g. berms, rollers, step-ups, jumps, rails, boxes, spines, etc.), where to stop, how to 'drop in', basic principles for hitting features, and the proper speed to hit the features. Along the way, we'll also learn some flatland tricks so we can look steezy while getting to the park.

Think “less talk and more rock”.
MOGULS
