Difference between risk and recklessness

Reckless is going for something not even close in an typical progression. Risk is inherit with any trick or activity skiing. There is greater risk with bigger tricks on bigger features. The odds of a serious injury sliding a ride on dance floor box is pretty low. The risk of fucking up a dub 12 on a 60’ jump is much greater. Recklessness is sending something you can’t even visualize or have trained for in any way. Perhaps going from 3s in a small jump line to sending a dub on a large jump without ever getting it on a tramp or airbag. That would be reckless. Instead of speed checking a disaster on a DFD and just going straight to a disaster lip 2. Reckless.

Recklessness is ignorance most of the time.

Before you do something, you can think about the risks involved and mitigate those risks. Skip this step, put yourself and others at risk (of injury or harm) is reckless

I feel like reckless is anything you try, but really can't envision yourself actually landing. Or something that puts other people at unnecessary risk. Pure risk is just everything else basically.

Depends on talent and ability.
Some girl i met in breck told me shed had six concussions.
I was like jesus, know when to quit.
Top pros seem to be able to bail out of anything without hurting themselves though.
Im always am impressed when a pro catches an edge on a kicker and improvises their corking to still land on their feet. You know your a pimp when you can pussy cat your way out trouble like that.

Definitely agree with this definition. I think everybody has that sense of after landing something new, and being like, wow i had it in me the whole time, but also because i have practiced this on a tramp or worked at it from another angle, and its the next progressive trick to learn. Not out of just pure visualization and hucking.

You just have to find that balance of preperation and desire for sendage.

Even though i had landed a hundred backflips on a tramp, thrown into water, and even practiced a few repeating backflips, it was still scary to throw the first one on a jump. The risk was low and the recklessness even lower was still scary. but had i not practiced the risk would be about the same, but the recklessness would be through the roof
