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?

when i do spins that require a foreward landing, i always plant my pole right inbetween my skis and hit myself in the face when i land and it hurts. also i need goggles on when i do railsfor some reason

every jump i do, no matter the size. i have my eyes shut. rodeos, fronts, spins, all with my eyes closed. i land em too....i geuss its air awarness... i NEED my left ski on my left foot and my right ski on my right foot. and if the graphics are matching, so it continues to the other ski, i cant have them match up. i switch them and keep them thet way. mad OCD for thet. i also continually swing my legs on lift and place re adjusting my ski poles and i am also OCD with my helmet goggles and hat set up. NEED THEM TO BE PERFECT ON MY HEAD. someone taps my head. i gotta re-adjust. i also reach into my right knee pocket on the lift.... with out gloves, no matter how cold it is outside. i also have a habit of keeping a black or blue shapie marker with me at all times. with a peice of paper. i dont know why. but i do. another habit of mine is that i ski switch more than forwards. i think something is wrong with me.

i throw my head to start rotations on backs...leading to terrible technique

also being a pussy and not trying things due to the thought of breaking something and getting injured.

two pole taps behind my back before I drop in.
lastly sometimes I make really weird/random noises when I'm in the air

Dont really have any habits other than pissing my friends off by suggesting "we should build a jump," even though 90% of the time I'm joking. But whenever I get the wind knocked out of me, I lie there making really weird sounds as I struggle to breath, and it sounds like a constipated retard. At least my friends enjoy it.

Whenever I bail on something underneath the chair for some reason im determined to make it look like i really slammed hard, so ill flop like a soccer player and yell a highly offensive word like I just had my balls chopped off. I REALLY need to stop doing that

Does anyone ever have the problem of tucking by sitting on your skis, and then your brakes get caught on each other and you can't turn/stop? It's kind of scary sometimes haha.

I have 08/09 Addicts, so the graphics are all screwy if my skis aren't on their respective foot. Throws me off horrendously.

skis MUST be on the right feet with bent chetlers, there is no way around that one. You just can't have 2 halves of an angry asian not connected at the nose

not exactly a skiing based habit... but i always forget to zip my pocket up after burn seshes, which leads to lost chillums on a regular basis. lost 3 in one winter a couple years back.

I always tend to eat my lip.  Its the wierdest thing, I wont even notice it until someone says i'm bleeding.  And then this results in HUGE canker sores that make it impossible to eat for weeks.

Oh and the random noises, that one I do ALL the damn time. Although i wouldn't consider it a BAD habit necessarily, just a habit.

I found a fully loaded bowl in Keystone's Incubator once. So keep your shit packed away, kids. Don't bring glass pieces either. Bad idea.

Well.. for starters my phone has to be in the right pocket of my pants and my car keys in the right pocket of my jacket. if i bring a wallet it has to be in the right back pocket of my pants. pole straps have to be on, and the skis on the right feet. When i go on the lift i have to tap my skis to get the snow off and the same goes when hitting jumps. And when i over/undershoot a landing on a speedcheck i always yell something like "ffffuuuuck this is gonna hurrtttt!!" friends get a good laugh tough.

And my ipod has to be in my right pants pocket, with the screen facing my leg, and locked. Before I drop in, I also always pull the headphone cable, to give it some slack.

I guess another habit would be not going a single year without buying something new, even though I don't need it.
