i sing when im approaching a jump. usually biggie or something like that. and ya, i always take the snow off my skis whenever i can, its some next habit i guess. the grips of my poles are made out of rubber, and i always chew on those on the chairlift.

Whenever i hit a jump that i'm not sure of i click my poles twice behind me as i drop in. On any jib even a flat box i push with my poles even if i dont need to.

i put my gloves under the jacket and i always make sure that the jacket is far up over the gloves and pulled pretty tight, it always bugs me if the gloves are farther out or if jacket is loose on them dunno why really just does.

before dropping in i tap my helmet with my grips.

i flex my boots and touch my tips when i'm waiting for someone

when taking a 4/6/8seater i always push really hard out of the gate so i can hang behind the chair in front, then let it drag me till the end of the station, then i enter my seat...

Haha I used to do the same thing.  My tongue would always be out whenever I went off a jump, regardless of what I did off it, and I never realized it until someone told me my mount was wide open and tongue was out.

I always click my poles together before doing something
Only thing that sucks is that they are composite poles, so they dont make that nice satisfying sound when they hit eachother.

makes a lot of sense though, your always the most tired on your last run, and thats the easiest time to get injured. I try to make my second to last run my last run always.

its not wierd to take a lap through the park before hitting it, I mean who knows, maybe theres a 50 feet drop behind the small flat boxes. I always take too much speed for the jumps Im hitting :p better to take too much than less. Every flat area I ride on 1 ski. Kinda odd.

Btw I always talk to myself, so if I land some epic trick I say something like "that was awesome" and stuff like "Fuck, shit piss" and stuff when I fall.

Always unbuckle my boots in the lift line except for the booster straps, buckle them right back up when i get off. Always plan my first trick, the rest of the run i dont think about about it just comes to me.

I always adjust my goggles and headphones, and then check my poles to see if the straps are still on my wrist. I then look uphill, even when i know no one is coming down. I cant hit anything without doing that
