Alright so, I feel like I'm falling behind all my buddies in progression because I always psych myself out of doing stuff, any of you guys have a way of getting over the stupid fear I can't get past for some reason?

^ hrmm. it seems to me that smoking is best for riding powder and just cruising. I ride my best park all sobered up but to each their own.

or you could do tricks on trampolines too. it helps so much even if your not gonna land a trick you know how to control your body and avoid death

^^^^yea but for me everything feels 100 times more different when im moving and on snow rather than a trampoline, just build a really poppy jump into deep snow, the more poppy the jump the slower you can go and it wont hurt as much when you fall, besides steep jumps set youup great for backies. i learned backies on a jump this steep /  no joke

Yeah, I feel like trampolines give you a little more air control but they don't help throw things at all
