I'm not to skilled of a skier. I can hit a flat rail and a box but sometimes I just get really nerves up with the mind set of sliding stuff. I know I can do it but I just get really nervous and end up not doing the rail/box. Any tips?

Just do it :)

Don't be a pussy and grow a pair.


But seriously, just don't think.

I listen to playlists your grandma gives me while I ski because I'm 60 years ahead of my time. #PuminMusic

I just say fuck it, and not think about what im doing. or get a group of friends to wait by the jump so that you feel pressured to do it.

These threads come up all the time, and the simple answer is, if you want to do it bad enough you'll try it. If you don't want it bad enough, you'll prolly never get it.

Fear and falling are a part of learning. If you start small and know exactly what you are going to do on the feature, you will get it with no problem. And when you fall (because you will) just fall and dont try to save it. And like i said before start small, small falls normally arent bad at all.

hope for the best. Never make the same mistake twice. That's how you get better.

embrace it. no better way to make peace with something that will stop you from growing and experiencing awesome things than to recognize it and accept it. in any moment like you're talking about you can move forward into growth, or step backwards into safety
