It's bad luck the next run if your chair stops on one of the towers.


IT'S PROVEN.

If my song ends while i'm dropping into a hit I'm in deep shit.


If i take a really hard fall, I immediately hate the song that's playing with every fiber of my being, and won't play that song again for a few days. Usually by the end of ski day i've deleted 5 or 6 songs from the playlist... haha

This! Havent called last run since a last run that went bad a few years ago.

I also always re-grip my poles on the in run to a jump (although not in a jump line).

thats so weird, im literally the exact opposite, usually take lunch at like 11 because of this.

-other than that, never get a haircut during the season
-after i take my boot off, i'll do up the bottom buckle to the 2nd notch
-i always bring my gopro with me but i never use it, once i forgot it and didnt have a good day, so i just bring it now

Nothing ever goes uneven from right to left with me.

Before I put the lift up I tap it five times against the other metal it rests on and then once its up I tap it five times against the other metal. No one else can do it for me no idea why. Fear of injuries I guess

No jumps on the first lap of the day.

If the bar gets put down on the lift you don't but it back up until after you've passed the last tower.

When i was competing, I had a full of superstitions:
1. Always take a deep breath before going
2. I had 2 t shirts that would make me lose...so I never wore them on snow
3. Never say: check this out
4. Ski socks are better than long socks
5. Tapping poles together psychs me up before a run

Don't ever ever change the playlist order. Sometimes I need another song because the one playing sucks, but I can't change it, or I'm gonna eat shit. Also the more I wait to drop in, the higher is the fail. This is why people before me and waiting forever before going piss me off so much.

Idk, I think if you do it will wear down your edges more evenly. Even if its better for my skis I'm terrible when their on the wrong feet.

I have one pair of socks that are left and right, and if i don't wear them that way I will get messed up. Also my skis graphics go together and look stupid if they are reversed.
