Fucking up in the park

Hitting a fun little backcountry jump the other day, getting my steeze on, nothing special, im no Dumont, just 3's and 5's on a good little set up 25'+.  All of the sudden I take a fall and my session goes to shit.  Its probably an hour before im able to land another trick, even easy shit is killing me.  This sucks but it seems to be  trend for me, days when im hitting tricks always end in frustration because I am unable to progress through the session as I expect myself to be able to. 

No doubt I'm in my own head and its a mental issue.  Does this happen to you? What tricks (methods) do you use to get out of a slump??

I usually just go on to stuff im more comfortable with. so if im doing like shit on a jump or something ill hit a box that i know i can do stuff on and then go back to the jump when im feeling less like a loser

when i fall really hard in the park its way harder for me to get my head back then when i fall in the BC or skiing a line. maybe its because my falls in the park are always rough and hurt.

if i injure myself i usually end the day to make sure i dont get hurt any worse. if i just hurt myself then i usually just ski it off for a couple laps, take it easy, then start skiing hard again.

the hardest part is when your hiking something and cant get it, there gets a point where you gota stop hiking it and say fuck the trick your going for. take a break, sip some water, then go for that shit agian

Same shit happens to me.  Especially after I smash my head.  I have the jitters and just go do some laps on some trails before heading back to the park.  Can't be hucking if you've already mindfucked yourself.

Try not thinking about the trick as much after you fall. What happens to me a lot is I'll be skiing fine, fall, try and land the same trick but put way too much thought into it and not land it for the rest of the day if you just dont put as much thought into it then you might land it

when I crash I have to go do something harder while I have the adrenaline or I get psyched out for the rest of the day it seems.

sometimes it helps to watch my favorite edit and then envision myself doing the tricks
