What's it like being a hideous human being? Morally and visually, that is.

You're right, I probably would never try that stuff again because I was a lot more stupid 8 years ago. Trust me in that I can claim a lot harder but every time I do I feel dirtier than fucking Jen Hudak with a shit-lined condom.


But seriously for a minute here... is it even considered claiming when I'm answering a kid's question about how I know I make you all look like fucking pussies?

C'mon dude, do you honestly think that NO ONE ELSE in this thread has done anything gnarly? Post an edit or a few shots and then lets talk.

One time I ventured into the snowboard park... I almost hit this huge jump on the side of this metal thing. I never went in again.

It's called a profile. You know that thing that has a collection of photos and videos that belong to one person?... yeah.

I know they haven't because I'm sure what they had set up for the first couple years of the junkyard jam would not be possible today due to liability seeing how no rail jam since has had such reckless features. Also I'm pretty sure no one has hit a jump blindfolded either... so you're definition of "gnarly" is a watered down version of the crap we dealt with when you were busy learning how to walk.

If you ski with someone better than you then you can watch them do stuff and hit the same trick right after em. Like when I first started trying to nut up and do inverts I kept pussin out. Then my friend Dylan strait up told me he would toss flat 3 and I had to throw it right after him. It was a lot less scary knowing that off that jump in those conditions I knew for sure it could be landed.

Seeing (or just thinking of) young kids who are better than me (and if you're good, think Aspen Spora cuz you're probably not that good) then I think FUCK THAT SHIT, I'M A FUCKING GROWN 16-YEAR-OLD I CAN HANDLE THAT SHIT. GAY ASS MIDDLE-SCHOOLERS. Then I go.

Make sure you really understand how a trick is thrown. Be able to visualize and understand what it will feel like mid trick. You will be more confident and it will be easier to be ballsier.

Don't tell anyone what your going to do. It will feel like you need to do it and you will be pressured to land it.

This season was my first where i wasn't scared to try new tricks. Playing games of skate etc. really help and i grew more confident when i fell but i could get back up, then i knew that isn't as bad as you anticipate it to be so you just send it. also filming and skiing with people better really helps

Ski with someone better than you, get someone to rile you up, film it, etc...... these all work (probably in that order).

Many, many years back (like a decade, I'm old) I stuck my first Misty at Momentum. Main motivation; knowing that I was being filmed for video review and the following words of advice from my coach:

'Try again, but with more balls'

The coach with these words of inspiration was Sarah Burke (SIP). It worked.

Just think.."what's the worst thing that could happen." Then proceed to forget about the worst thing that could happen and just do it.

Lots of alcohol helps you huck stuff. Also increases your chances of getting hurt. Gotta make that choice whether it is worth it or find that happy medium
