Bad days/hours...

I am really getting to be inconsistent with my tricks. Some days I will be able to throw perfect cork 9's and then a few minutes later I will barely be able to come out of a sketchy cork 7. Also, about half an hour ago I started to not come out of mistys, and then 5 minutes ago I went out and did a perfect misty 7. What can I do?

By the way, this is on a trampoline.

Its horrible, I am so frustrated with myself I cant think straight, whenever i try to misty I do a barrel roll (like a quarter flip and then spin) and dont come out of it. And when I try to cork, I do the same thing only backwards. Earlier today I was doing everything perfect.

haha snap i thought that was your signature.. but yea it happens to me sometimes.. you just gotta chill for a while, calm down and blast some music. or you could go the opposite and go completely aggressive and throw shit

that happens to me when i get really run down. mabye you should just eat like massive amounts of food and water or just sleep. one time me and my buddies decided not to eat lunch on the mountain cuz it was such a nice day and didnt want to waste it. we really regretted(sp?) it later on in the day when a 180 tail wasnt even comin naturally i knew it was cuz we were hungry as shit and dehydrated. eat drink and sleep.

Ok, its wierd, its still like that. Last time this happened I just didnt jump on the tramp for a few hours, its been almost a day and Im still doing the same thing. Corks I am still doing it too, not coming out of them. The other day I could cork 10 almost, and now I cant even cork 5.

this always helps when im doing bad on unnatys. first do small stuff like 5s and small unnattyys. do some regular flips then work your way up.

I've said this a million times and I'll say it again: take it back to the basics.

What I think your problem is is that you overlooked the basics. And if you don't have a solid base on it.. it's so easy to get thrown off.

Think about it. If you are just hucking a cork 9 (even if you can do it pretty stylish) and you don't really have full control in the air or you don't know where you are but land on your feet anyway.
It won't take much to throw you off.

What if one day you start jumping a little bit higher and try that cork 9? well, now you are going to have more air time, and if you never had full control of it then that means if you try throwing it the same way and same speed, you are probably not going to land it.

What if you don't jump as high?
so now you have a little less air time.

Or lets say you lost concentration. And now, you aren't really leading with your head. If you aren't looking in the right direction the whole time and continue to lead with your head, then it is going to throw you way the hell off.

If you work with the basics you will know exactly whats going on. You will realize that your head causes your body to turn and whatever direction it goes - your body will follow. You will know that your shoulders keep your body on balance. So if you are going off axis and you don't know why then it is probably your shoulders.

What I mean is understand how everything works - understand the basics. Understand the role of each different part in your body and each different movement and how it causes you to flip, spin, grab, and stop.

These are the basics. Master this and you will become unstoppable.

or like they said could be that you are just thinking about it too much. Just go with what you know.

Yeah I totally get you on this one. Ok take misties. What you should do when you can't throw your misties right is take it back to what misties are based on..soo do this
- Throw a bunch of front flips, make them all real nice and perfect, make sure you can get these things down in your sleep, try doing front-front-front-front on each bounce, nothing in between.
- Make sure you're setting your rotation right. What I try is not bouncing up high but rather just going off your feet into the rotation. You land on your shoulder or what not but it helps.
- Don't move onto harder tricks before you get the smaller, more basic ones under you belt. Be able to throw the stuff in your sleep so that when you do move on, you've got the rotation set for that first trick and it doesn't get lost learning the second trick.

Well anyways, I've been working on this a lot, but it all comes down to working real hard everyday, once you get the rotations down, they'll just get smoother and smoother.

when i throw my misties it me helps to be lookin slightly behind over the shoulder you intend to spin with and then as you go to spin try and look between your arm and you body. it gets the flip goin and if you just focus on looking for the spot you intend to land in then you should come right around and out of it piece of cake. and dont do tricks to land on your shoulder whoever said that is wrong, always try to land on your feet or else bad habits will come.

Throw it kinda like a misty, but when you throw it, look back behind you and try to get your head behind you and youg legs in front of you. If you get then right there not hard.

yes. somedays my skis feel so heavy, and my skis own me. somedays, my skis feel so light, and i can add sweet as grabs into my spins. on these days i am one with the ski. its akward. its off and on, and it makes skiing more challanging when your not always doing your best.
