The whole fact that you have 170+cm long "feet" that don't always cooperate. They're awkward.

looking steezy. I could stomp a sketchy super fed first or second try but it takes awhile to perfect tricks and make them look smooth

actually tying new stuff. Everything I honestly try I land within a few times, but usually i just think a bout a trick instead of doing it.

the mental games and doubts that go through my head when dropping into a hit when trying something new or bigger.

As opposed to dropping in, and being completely focused and committed to setting the trick without any uneasiness.

Not worrying about what you look like when trying a new trick and not landing on the fucking dad with his kid on a leash standing on the jump landing.

I find everything about park skiing hard. It takes me a long time to learn most tricks. I have to extensively visualize anything I want to learn, and then spend a lot of time learning all the parts of the trick, so it requires a lot of motivation for me to progress.
 I haven't had access to a very good park for any length of time, and my ski season has always been about 3 months, so your resources can really affect your skiing.
"Cross training" is really helpful though (mountain biking, skateboarding, climbing, swimming).
I also enjoy skiing out of the park more and more as time goes on.

Tearing both your ACLs at 19 within 3 months of each other and realizing that if you want to ski for the rest of your life, you're probably never gonna learn how to huck off a booter; then becoming one with the fact that because you live in Ontario, you just have to learn how to shred groomers really really well.

Hoping that gapers don't yell at me when I tell them to move out of the way of the feature (but it happens with jumps most of the time).

Not having a park. Hard to progress when you have nothing to practice on. We make do with our own jumps, if we don't get kicked off the mountain that is!
