I go up to the hits completely unsure of what the hell im doing. Like I'll be on the lip and realize that I'm slightly wound up and...uh oh, what the fuck am i about to do here.

this usually results in the sickest penis flail 1's and 3's you've ever seen

yours?

you desperately need to make a segment
\
do it without music, and just narrate it yourself with a mike as you're doing the tricks

My worst habit is that since I can't possibly get hurt on kickers if the landing is semi soft, I throw the most ridiculous things that I can never land.
It's embarrassing when people are waiting at the top for you to go get your goggles, poles and skis...


Oh and often I can't make up my mind if I'm going to do a 5 or a 7 or a 9 so I just kinda decide near the end of my trick, which always fucks me over mightily

I go out of state and ski a big pipe for half the year and stuff... and when I come home to my crapy-flat 14-18 foot pipe I tend to go way fast and throw way to big and end up landing on my head alot on my first day back...
Also, I end up somwhere outside of the half pipe alot for some reason... like not even on the deck, I'll like land on the outside of the deck.

Like everyone, the same ski on same foot.

Forget to re-do my bottom buckles after I undo them on the lift to prevent my feet from falling asleep, which ends up in crushed toes when I try to manual and stuff.

Getting really pissed off when I double-eject on a stomped landing, resulting in a perfect air fucked up.

Cleaning skis off on the lift.

Getting pissed at snowboarders for being stereotypical snowboarders.

Flying into lift-lines, resulting in a few real pissed off people with clipped tips or tails. But stuff them, I'm busy doing a race so back the fuck off. Bitches think they own the mountain because they spent 400 dollars on a few days of skiing. Dicks.

yeah... I have a really bad habit of never taking my goggles off, which results in a killer goggle tan by about mid-season

dropping into a trick which scares me, i HAVE to the right song playing. like will sit there for ages scrolling ipod till I it get it.
worse if i fall on that trick...then that song is out. its bad luck and i can't use it again. its all very black cats and witches

And if i know its the last run, and esp. if someone calls it. I just do straight airs and slides. but that goes without saying

Forgot about my habits haha.
-Goggles always on, I can't hit a rail or a jump without them on, I have tried, it is very difficult.
-Centermounting everything (some people consider it bad)
-Pole straps aren't a habit people, it's just common sense.
-I used to stick my tongue out whenever I spun a jump.
-Fuck last run myth, I usually throw down my hardest on the last run.
-When me and my friends first started learning rails, I had to have us hit it in the same order every time. If I hit it first the first time, I had to be first every other time. IF I hit is 2nd the first time, I had to be second every time, behind the same person. If it wasn't like that I couldn't do it haha.
-I also have a habit of saying I'm going to do something, such as a flat 5, and then making myself try because I kept running it through my mind, and end up dying.
-I guess you can say left and right skis, but that is only because of the way I out them together and take them apart, I never look at them to make sure. It doesn't matter to me.

this happens to me all the time

also for some reason, everytime i go up to a rail i need to do a tine useless pizza, then double pole a few times before i hit it. Its really fucking weird but if i dont do it, i feel really uncomfortable and outta control no matter how slow i am going

maybe try landing with your feet together to take the compression, then stand up and look over your shoulder, thus stomping your trick and riding away clean switch

for me, i always wear my helmet, and i tend to nibble on the extra length of the strap, or on the top of my bandana, that and i like to kick the snow off of my skis before i drop in

My pole straps have to be on! There is no way around it. I can't ski without them. Also, my left ski had better be on my left foot. No gettin around this one either! Not necessarily a habit as much as it is OCD!
