do you guys ever have those moments pre/mid/post trick thoughts where you know something isnt right? and you know shit is gonna hit the fan fast?
for example.
im doing a simple 360 grab and for some reason mid trick i just realize something is totally wrong and suddenly im a foot away from the landing and my right ski is no longer on my boot, i slam into the landing with all my weight and downward force all onto my right knee, at this point im thinking, well now i have a broken knee, there goes my season...after about 5 minutes of my knee killing it ended up being fine,
so all in all, post your oh shit moments that are skiing related!

The other day i was just taking it easy on my first run through the park and decide to hit one of the smaller jumps. Went over the lip and suddenly realized i was about 15 feet above the knuckle. Went way to fast and landed completely flat and backseat and kneed myself in the goggles. gave myself a black eye and bruised heel.

This summer I had a bad day at working so I got off the job and went to the dirt jumps, Threw my headphones on and dropped into the rhythm section its like a 10 foot to a big hip to a tight step up spine kinda thing, I drop in and air the first one all forward trying to pump the landing and someone put a railroad tie behind the jump.  Weight forward, dirt, railroad tie, no helmet. my brain was just like DAMN COME ON!!

In my profile I have a picture of a urban quarter I hit a while ago an was try a flair first hit, first time I air probably 8 ft above the top of the table and I looked for my landing and I was like going face first at the table. That hurt.

Happened today, I was getting warm, removed my bandana and lifted my goggles up. Was going for a blind 270 out on that rollercoaster, lost a bit of balance at the wrong moment but sill throwed the 270... Found myself corking, shouted a huge "Tabarnak!" and fell face first on the icy landing... My face scrapped the ground for about 3 meters.

Doin on of those screamen seamen things where you cross your legs in midair, I didn't have enough air to uncross them. Somehow or another I pulled of the landing and just laid it down about ten feet later.  I didn't have enough time to panic in the air, but afterwards I was pretty stoked my balls were still there haha

i hit a step up at my local hill after watching a kid straight-line it. as i took off and went over the knuckle of the landing, i realized i was a good seven feet over the knuckle at which point i started jelly-fishing and yelling fuck in hopes that i would land clean. instead, i overshot the sweet spot of the landing by a good 30 feet but i let myself collapse as i hit the ground so i didnt get seriously hurt. gotta love those step-ups

too much speed going for a 3, freaked out, stopped the rotation halfway and landed switch at the very bottom of the landing. managed to ride away but i two dents in the landing and it was pretty solid

later that day i went up to the 8+ foot rainbow box and found that the snow on the apex was actually frozen and didnt want me to just slide over it. trailing ski caught, threw me forward, one ski sideways landing to washout. definitely could have been a faceplant to a very hard landing

The mental aspect of doing tricks is probably the hardest part of doing something, pre trick your thinking of how its going to turn out mid trick your thinking about how its gone so far and whats happening next post trick you either fell or stomped it

I was siing through the trees on a day with really flat light. It was my first time on the trail sso I followed someones tracks out. I admit that i was going alittle to fast for a trail that I dont know but at the time I didnt think much of it. while i was skiing out onto the groomer saw that there was a lip at the end of the trail and I thought it would be cool to do a 180 of of it onto the trail. So I pointed my skis straight out to get as much speed as possible. Unfortunately I couldnt see the mogul that was right before the little lip.So I bounced off of it the my tips stuck into the lip and i did a full flip oout of the exit, without skis. The whole time i was in the air I just thought " Oh Shit!"

I went into the trees off the side of the run and it was dark out. I couldnt see much and apparently there was a dip at the bottom that i hit and lost control. I remember losing control and seeing a chairlift/snowblower pole about 5 feet from me and yelling oh shit! I closed my eyes and end up on the ground and my ski came off but im ok. Small dent in my leg and a couple bruises. Haha

trying hand drag 3s off the tube thingy at the bottom of SRs park, not enough speed, my skis got caught in the feature. one popped out, with a huge chink of snow, and the other one started snapping right in front of my eyes, like flexing way past what its supposed to. i got it out ok, but i was pretty much crying at the thought of my brand new skis snapping.

i saw what looked like a small jump at the beginning of a park so i decided to hit it. while in the air i realized that it was a drop-in ramp (like dropping into a quarterpipe) to get more speed for the halfpipe. i dropped 10+ feet and landed on flat. needless to say, i was a little sore the next day.

i was skiing around the lift lines at Mt. Snow today and i got to get in the singles line. I didnt see one of th posts that holds up the ropes and caught one ski on it. i had the oh no moment, knowing that i would be the center of laughter, so i decided to throw some afterbang into it to cure the humility.

Last week at my resort there's this super sketchy barrel jib/slide to a ridiculously steep and short 20 foot drop. First time hitting it and i had far too much speed, came off it switch, and realized just then, I had far too much speed. Not a good feeling. Then I landed backwards on the flats way below, rode it out for 3 feet, then double ejected. Pretty sweet afterwards when you can just laugh at it.

My local dry ski slope has a nice little box which is great, apart from the fact that it has no sides. So sometimes if you come of a lil early your ski travels under the box, and theres not much you can do. so theres a small part of a second thinking, oh shit i am going to hit the end supporting leg things. I probably havnt explained myself well, but thats my oh no! NO NO NO! moment.

yesterday i was trying out the new Big Air at my hill for the first time and i had to go downhill for a pretty long time before hitting the jump. i come up to the jump really fast but not nervous at all for some weird reason and soon as i leave the lip, i start rotating sideways. so, strangely calm, i have a minor ''oh NONONONO'' moment but i figured it would be fine cuz i was just a bit off axis but then i saw the landing under me, and thats when the ''AAAAAAAAAHHH'' moment started. fortunately, i managed to regain control as soon as i hit the ground so it was all good.
