I was wondering how hard you push yourself in the park when you are by yourself. Like, if there is a trick you are trying to learn/working on that is really giving you a tough time (especially anything corked/inverted), are you less likely to work on it when you are up by yourself? More likely? It doesn't matter?

weather i push myself or not has nothing to do with the people around me. if i'm feeling it i'll try something, it's all in my head.

not that showing off is a bad thing.

I don't push myself at all in the park when I'm by myself, which is why I don't ski park much considering I usually ski alone.

I ski solo most of the time; I just take 'er easy and charge for like 10 turns at a time, find somewhere else cool, charge a little. I like not having to drag somebody to someplace shitty if I go exploring and it turns out to suck balls.

Ya see I just worry about getting injured sometimes, although I go try the trick anyways.
