How many times do you guys fall in an average day of skiing park? Not super hard progression and not taking it easy, just an average day. For me it's probably like 5ish

I'll like not crash until 2 o' clock. and I'll be feeling pretty good and thinking I'm actually not terrible at this. Next run I'll try something new and eat it and then eat it again on the same feature next run and then shit will just unravel and by 3 my suit is covered in snow and I've crashed 8 times.

I don't call it a fall unless I lose something. That being said, 5-10 at least. If you're not falling, you're not trying.

yeah if I'm feeling lazy and doing more rails, maybe 3-4 times. but If I'm jumping and stuff, maybe 6-7. but i figure by now, and especially with our sport, falling is something to get used to.

if you fall over, that would classify as a fall...
