Ok, so about 2 weeks ago I crashed HARD. I mean real bad. I was trying to 360 this jump and some how it ended up being in between a 5 and 7. I also overshot the landing by about 5 feet and got inverted. Now it seems like my edge is off. I don't really have any motivation to try stuff anymore because I got hurt so bad. My question is that has anyone ever done this before and if so how do you recover besides sayin fuck it all and try to huck it again

hit the beginner park and smaller jumps, get comfortable again. works yourself back up to where you were before.

yes, work the progression.
Do small 360's until they feel boring, like you need to take the next step up...
and so on. You know when you feel like you are about to do something too risky, right? Back it down and take a smaller step forward. Perhaps do some water ramping this summer to work the new tricks.

yeah, hucking is dumb, and is much nmore dangerous than actually working up and learning the steps

I can't visualize how you could almost spin 7 when you tried for 360

Same deal for me last year, 'cept with a rail. I'm much worse this year... although it's not a big deal. I didn't lose much skill, since there wasn't much there to begin with.

Hucking is for dipshits. Work your way into doing more difficult shit. Seth Morrison lapped the park for a long time practicing rodeo 7s before he started throwing them off 50 foot cliffs.

Everytime I get hurt I'm so depressed until I can ski again that when I finally do, I don't even think about the injury, I just think about how awesome it is to be back on my skis. You can't worry about that shit or else you'll get hurt again or end up being a pussy. If you're really a skier in the heart you'll move on like the shit never happened.

It's all mental. last year I broke my leg skiing in a halfipipe. just this weekend I took a really hard fall. I didn't have much confidence to begin with but I lost even more. At the end of the day I just kept trying and going a bit bigger. Your gonna take some hared falls, just tell yourself you can do it and then go out do what you know you can do.

Part of skiing skills is not getting hurt... make sure to check out the jump before hitting it, figuring out the speed you need so you land nicely on the tranny. Work on your reflexes when falling. Hike a jump working on your 360s rather then lapping. I find it helps keep the feeling of the jump in your head. and of course wear a helmet and maybe a mouthguard.
