Thoughts before hitting a jump?

duhbige · 2014-03-27 18:26:40

When you're going down the in run and are about to come off the lip, are you the kind of person who thinks, "I hope I don't crash" or are you a person who thinks, "I'm gonna stomp the sh*t out of this." Thoughts on your thoughts?

Approaching: "what the fuck have I gotten myself into..."

In air: "The degree to which I tweak this grab is directly proportional to the amount of p00n recieved upon landing"

Landing: "Shit this landing is really rutted out I hope I don't....OHHHHH SHIT.....arrghasl;dj;asjf OW FUCK"

Laying on my ass: "It feels like a mule just kicked me in the gooch. Oh wait, that was just my heelpiece inserting itself forcefully into my rectum"

Real answer:

75% focused on speed. If you hit tranny, it's not going to hurt THAT much.

25% trick, cause that's a thing

My mental dialogue goes something like this:

Ok, here we go.. I need speed. Is this fast enough? I don't think this feels fast enough. I should definitely be going faster. Is this too fast? Oh fuck, there's the lip! Shit, shit, shit. Oh yeah, I need to spin.

Then I land and remind myself how much I hate jumps.

It sounds like most of you need to relax more.

When I'm approaching a small jump I just think about how much I'm going to try tweaking out a grab.

Large jump - if I'm doing a trick I'm used too on a jump I'm used too, I get so relaxed and stoked on the jump I'm about to hit. If I'm doing a new trick I try to focus on how the sickest way to pull it off will be in my head.

I don't think a jump has freaked me out in a couple of years unless it's pushing 70 ft
