PSIA-AASI

The big terrain park can be intimidating and as such the call for lessons here can be somewhat limited; especially considering the skill levels of the general populace. But there are almost those kids whos parents live at the base of the hill and is trying to learn his cab 7s in the big park. I know it is an oxymoron but how do you plan for safety in your lessons where you can easily be straight-lining a 50 foot deck; especially after the student has fallen a couple of times on the same jump and may be putting multiple wrecks on the same limb? Mouthguards? Coach that landing flat destroys knees and landing in the transition is always better? How do you avoid overshooting? Full face helmets? Any tips on kneck safety?

Sorry for the helter-skelter topic but this is more just a general question.

go to a smaller feature maybe a 30 footer, and work on technique, finess and style, remember to utilize atml.  every move on a smaller feature will work to perfection, then when super confindent on stomping something of the 30 bump up to straight airs of the 50ft. get speed consistant, pop, of the lip, air balance, and landing. then bump that up in tricks.  Helmet for sure, when i ride the park i pad up, i am old. 40.  impact shorts, knee pads, and mouth guard.  Most kids who sign up for park lesson are taking the lesson cause their parents make them, make it fun challenging and most as safe as can be.
