Background: So I broke my collarbone really bad in the end of december, i had my surgury, and after a little over 2 months of recovery i went back to shreding.

So now ive been back for about a month and ive been skiing ALOT. I am getting quite a few of my tricks back, i am back to my full arsenal on rails and about half of the way there on jumps. I know that i can physically do all of my tricks but mentally i am just not able to get it back.

Any suggestions/tips to get out of this funk?

guys, let me tell you that the op, jamie fucking throws down, 90% of you would be scared as shit throwing what he does, and i am too.

now, jamie. i completely understand what's going on with you, and everyone (jake, haha) is throwing down. i'm jealous of them too... but you can get the tricks back. first i'd recommend trying some shit on waterfall and the 3rd jump, and then move up to the snocompton jump (i still haven't hit it). waterfall is the perfect jump for progression in my opinion. i'd love to see you with your big bag of tricks for jib academy and pretzels and polish donuts!

maybe try wearing a brace of some sort? even if it won't actually keep you from another injury, it might pass the emotional block/boundary you're facing right now. anyway, just make sure you're warmed up before you're really throwing on jumps, and just try to break out of it!

good luck! btw, are you at stevens or snoqualmie this weekend?
