 Poster: A snowHead
|

Hi guys, i am a basi lv.1 instructor, and now i'd like to go further. Im an experienced rider (10+ seasons on the board), and the basi trainer on lv.1 course told me that i am very good, but i never hit a snowpark(sigh). I love flatland and big part of our course was dedicated to ollies, presses, spins etc.. but i haven't ever tried rails or boxes, big jumps.. so my question is: which freestyle level is required to pass basi level 2?

For L2 your freestyle requirements going into the course are absolutely minimal. If you can force round a 180 ever way on piste, and you're not going to bottle a straight air over a green kicker, then you'll be absolutely fine.
What do you mean when you say 10+ seasons of riding? Do you mean 200 weeks, or 10 weeks of snowboarding?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ok, then make sure you take some lessons from a trainer who knows the pass criteria and will give you an honest assessment of where you stand. While you've got 2 weeks on the course to get yourself up to speed, if you've not been riding in the perscribed style (even if you're more generally competent than other riders!) you're not going to find it easy. Where do you ride? I'm sure we can find you a suitable instructor in your vicinity.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks jiagedaping, this is probably the best option! The only problem is that i live in Italy (i ride in Trentino), i did my lv.1 course at Val d'IIsere (~650km from home), so it would be difficult and expensive for me to reach a Basi trainer only to do a couple of days of training. I'm trying to find a B.a.s.i. school where i could to the 35hours required for lv.2, and in the while (or straight after) take lessons from a B.a.s.i. trainer..

The specific requirements for freestyle on level 2 are:
Straight air with a grab over a small-medium size kicker (4m).
50-50 on a flat box.
180's on the piste / flat (ideally all 4).
You can probably already do the 180's if you're into flatland stuff. The kicker and box requirements are both very easy, just go practise (there must be a park somewhere near you?).
