Ryan_HansenGetting nervous is completely natural. We have all been nervous when hitting a certain line for the first time or even the 10th time. You never know if you are going to land or get a season ending injury. All you can do is take a deep breath and go for it man.

ZachAndCheeseThis is extremely unsafe and un-recommended advice but if I'm slightly drunk/ high it usually takes the edge off. I'll probably end up tearing an acl one day due to this so yeah don't do it if you value life.
GmartI've come to the conclusion that I'd rather overshoot than undershoot, knuckling hurts more than landing flat imo, but yea, it is pretty nerve racking hitting bigger jumps
hoodcrewget a feel for your speed before you hit the jumps. don't just send it straight through the booters all nervous and shit. build up your confidence. hit smaller jumps.. get out of the park maybe. feel good on your skis, and you'll feel good on jumps of any size
you feel nervous because subconsciously or consciously you believe that the "big jump line" is more "extreme" or out of your comfort zone than normal, relaxed, skiing is
usually the more relaxed, confident, and prepared you are when approaching a feature, the easier it is to commit smile and enjoy yourself in the heat of the moment
feeling all nervous and loose results in more of an adrenaline rush
harness that inner zen

MinggIf you know you're going to be nervous about it, mentally prepare yourself at the bottom or while you're on the lift. Talk yourself into it then, because once you get ready to drop in, it will take longer or you might even pussy out. Once you've done that and you've told yourself you're going to go for it, then go to the jump line. Once you're there don't think about it anymore. Just know you're going to do it and drop in.
I've found that trying to talk myself into going for a new trick or hitting something new while I'm standing there waiting to drop, makes it a lot harder. If I tell myself I'm going to go for it while I'm on the lift, then I'll actually go for it more times than not.
Also, telling whoever you're riding with what you're going for helps you to commit because if you pussy out, they will let you know and being called a pussy is probably not something you'd enjoy.
