It would be nice if you guys can please tell me where i should start at and what mods i should do to my ski in order to start freestyling, like i mentioned above my fx1 is stock and i dont know where to start as i am a noob for now, i have great balance i know how to ride the waves and all but i need to know what i should get to start freestyling. Thank You

Welcome Chris,
There is a lot of helpful people here on the site. The best thing you can do is get some riding buddies and start pushing eachother.
If you use the search feature on this site you will find a lot of suggestions for first mods.
lonloud had good suggestions. I would add to that one free mod would be to move your steering pivot point inward on the rear steering nozzle. That will speed up your steering. I would also put straight bars on there. You could even buy a complete steering system as well.
