Are you a snowblader, because that could be the cause of your problem. Pretty typical symptom for snowbladers

I dont know what you mean by you hit the floor but If you mean you always land backseat on jumps just make sure you have enough pressure on your boot toungues when you go off .

Is your din so low that you're always ejecting when you shouldn't be? (just a thought beyond the assumption of sucking at life, which everyone else in this thread has stated).

ok well i don't mean everything, im still getting my spins, but tricks that i've got before such as front  and back flips and misty 5s are just not happening anymore at the moment and anything else i'm trying: d-7, d-9 and misty 7s mainly are just not happening either even though im landing on my feet skiing away about 3 feet and then stacking it, its really starting to piss me off. maybe i've just lost my confidence all of a sudden.

maybe its your legs. if your quads aren't very strong then you wont be able to take the impact of landing a trick a bit off, which is what it sounds like you are doing. wow 17 of the 25 posts are a useless shit that kids with a few hundred posts think are funny, grow up and help the kid.

its 100% the stength of your legs and knees. I have the same exact problem. I've been working out though and its almost stopped. My tricks are back and i feel good. Work out your legs and the problem with go away.

Every once in awhile I have days like that. It happens when I'm tired and in general just pissed. It always helps for me to ski some pow pow and then come back and be stoked to ride some park again. However, pow isn't an everyday thing, so I just have to hope there's some fresh. Go out and shred the mountain, haul ass through the trees, shralp the steelps, or lay down some long, fast, g-force inflicting turns on a groomer, it helps me a lot.

Knees/legs seem to be giving out. Or your landing wrong maybe not bending your knees or something? Prob do some squats / other leg workouts or just run and get em stronger. Try to get a vid of it and you'll maybe see what your doing wrong

You should never hit the floor unless you are at a club, and a girl asks if you want to dance. Then, you may hit, or make use of, the dance floor. Bringing skis to a club is not advisable.

The other acceptable place and time to hit the floor is when you have an absolutely epic story to tell for an injury you have somehow acquired. You may then tell your story, and at the appropriate time say, "...and this huge bouncer came up to me and punched me in the face. I punched him right back, but then his French-Canadian coworker came out of nowhere, and laid me right out. He told me to smoke a baguette as I hit the floor."
