How do you get up the balls to try something big?

when it comes to the park i can never commit to trying something new, in the run up i always seem to puss out.
I normally have more guts than I do sense, In contact sports and other stuff and think of myself as a balsey guy, but park skiing has always been the exception and it is messing with my progression.

how do you guys get stoked and just huck, like music or energy drinks?

music always helps me, also peer pressure is always a great motivator

Skiing becomes more fun the more tricks that you can do.

The majority of tricks that I can do today, came from friends how pushed me to do them. Most of my friends always say no you can't. Use that to your advantage and just throw it

You have to remove all doubt of falling from your mind, you only need balls if you're going to huck carcass and hurt yourself.
Instead just focus on the vision of what that trick will feel like. If you feel like you know what to do just focus on that feeling. Do this and not just throw yourself blindly off the jump.
You may not get it the first time but you will most likely get it to your feet and just scrub out a little bit.
Lastly, I have found over the years that there is a lot less physical effort required for most (simpler) tricks than you would think, ie: you do not need to wind up and put every amount of force into a five off a 20 ft jump.

Not true, my friend got really drunk and stomped a switch disaster 4 on. NEVER could do it after that while sober.

For the things I consider "big"... I like to have some friends with me. Not to show off, just is nice to have some people around to pump you up. Right before I drop I visualize how exactly I will carve of the lip and set the trick. And right when I start to drop I like to take 2 deep breaths.
