For the past few years I haven't really progressed at all. I know that I can do bigger tricks but I constantly hold myself back for fear of getting fucked up. Do any of you have tips for overcoming the fear of trying hard tricks?

Liquor and a sick track right before you drop. Always works for me.

This. There is no trick to it except just doing it.

Instead of recommending those almighty full tilts that basically turn you into a god on skis I'll try to go for a good answer. Music helps some people. For me: 1)peer pressure - you want to impress the people you ski with 2)I want to nut up. Nobody likes to have a trick solidly on their head for years without giving it a shot. 3)last night I saw a dream of myself doing a misty 5, so I tried it today, as it was so clear on how I should do it. Went good until halfway, I let go of the grab and messed up and landed a misty 7 to ass with a nice yard sale. Definitely giving it another shot tomorrow. I'll most probably fuck up, maybe I'll hurt myself, but who cares, pushing yourself feels awesome and is more often than not very rewarding.

agreed^ but mistys are sketchy feeling but you don't spot your landing till real late but just huck hard down and a little around and thats a 540 and then hard back and down looking under your arm and you'll stomp out a 7!!! now i need to learn corks...hmmm

I find cork 9 easier than normal 9 lol, if you spin left just tilt your head left, the body will follow. "Just send it, son!"

For me it helps to have someone I trust telling me to do it, whether it be a coach or a good friend. If you don't have confidence things could go bad. I was nervous to cork sev the last jump in Kings Crown. Having a coach that I know wouldn't tell me to do it if I couldn't tell me too made me realize I was just being a pussy. Sometimes you just need to sack up but sometimes having someone tell you you can do something makes all the difference. Or just drink. That works too.

For me, I get a good song going and concentrate on nothing but your technique, etc. and I also nori paced that it helps when I stay really loose and act like I already know how to do the trick.

Music helps me a lot as long as its the right song. People are saying doing it for an audience but that annoys me and makes me less likely to try something. For me, I tell myself that I'll do it at the top of the park/feature, then when I'm close I just point it and throw it. That stops me from pussying out for the most part. For me at least, not having eyes on me helps a lot.
