Before you go big, do you mutter something to yourself? Sometimes I grit my teeth and string together muffled profanity to get amped on the drop-in. Other times I might say "titty sprinkles" at the top of the jump to feel loose and relaxed. I bet I'm not the only one who feels numb and light-headed before going for it. I feel more connected to my body when I say something. Just curious what people do to get psychologically in the right place before they huck.

Usually it's little things like "Alright dude, you got this." "Piece of cake."

Occasionally it's little things like "Please don't die" or "Whatever happens, don't bite your tongue off" or "This is really stupid."

I can't say that I've ever tried a new trick without some sort of self commentary, normally i just say "you got this" and then once I'm in the air and I realize that i don't got this I let out a battle cry.

sometimes when I'm helping other people learn stuff I can tell they are thinking way too much so I try to find a chick they find super hot to help them think about something else. I had a friend that really liked Kate Beckinsale. So whenever he would drop in to try something I would yell Kate Beckinsale and he would yell it back.

Can't believe nobodies mentioned this yet: shouting "watch me rip the shit out of this!!" as loud as u can then regardless of if i stomp it or not i like to follow it up by riding up to a group of random and saying "hey did u see that? Yea, just so u no im the best skier on the mountain" then ride off majestically into the sunset.

Racecar noises on the drop in makes every trick seem so much less of a big deal when you get to the lip and your cheesing to yourself about the racecar noise you made down the slope.
