How To Commit

Try training in a pool or something to build confidence, get powder.

The best way is to have the homies, some good tunes and some vibes that make you stoked to try stuff. If all else fails I've heard alcoholism may help

You gotta black your mind out and just huck. Whether that's through substance or meditiation or whatever floats your boat

Just got to do it

If you’ve got a trampoline available practice on that and imagine the tricks on snow. It’ll help you stick it first time

just make sure your confident about the trick and know what your doing in the air. Make sure you can do back flips or whatever trick your trying with ease and know the rotation inside and out on a tramp before you try it. Find a jump you like and send. Make sure you commit tho and don’t over think the trick. In the case of a backflip basically the only way your actual going to hurt yourself is if you don’t fully commit. You will 100% get the rotation around if you commit, if you try to bail mid trick its just super dangerous.

Visualisation, my friend.
It starts way before standing in the inrun. Watch a bunch of videos of the trick and try to imagine the sequence of events that your body has to do. First, imagine yourself in 3rd person to understant what exactly you have to do to get the trick. Then move to the first person. Think about what parts of the body has to move move to ensure success. Simply slingning your head back for a backflip wont make you flip. Think about your hips, knees and shoulders; what are they going to do?
Building up the sensation is a harder one. Trampolines and pools can help. Its not about position, but about how your body feels when your in the air. This will help with spacial awareness and what to expect. It wont help you set the flip however.
Now that you are on snow, warm up by sending tricks that are at your limit. It will help know if you are ready for this. Do a couple of slow transitions on the jump. Feel the forces applied to your body from the transition to the lip.
Now, you must gain focus. Set the trick while slowing riding the transition and remember your positions to take as you ride up to the lip and memorise it. Have someone beside the lip to let you know if you are doing this right. (Preferably someone who can do it)
In the inrun, before leaving, put everything together in your mind. Close tour eyes and feel the entire trick from the inrun to the landing. Make sure you feel the takeoff, the g-forces on your shoulders and feet and visualize the entire flip, like a movie in your head. If you are missing a frame from the process, rehearse it in your mind until the frame occurs. Take your time if you have to. No one will rush you.

Now that the entire visual part is done; its like you have already done it. You only have to do it in real life.
When you feel ready, drop in and only focus on the task at hand. Normally, you will be committed and confident all the way through. Just relax on the way down amd remember all the practice you have done before even getting to this point.

Once you leave the lip, enjoy the view!

If fear takes over and you still bail at the last second; maybe your not ready for the trick and you have to start over. Fear is a natural response that prevents you from doing something stupid that will hurt you. Remember that people get hurt (sometimes seriously to life threatening) by just “hucking it brainlessly”. Go at your own pace. There is glory in ending up in the ski patrols office by doing something thats not in your league. Its just a trick; the reward is only there if you can successfully land it on your feet. Listen to yourself and dont be carried away from what other people do.

good luck

In the moment, 1-2 beers helps you ignore the thought of what could go wrong and just send it. That said, alcoholism as a whole eventually detracts from your life

Learning to commit without alcohol is a good thing. What freestyle said is right. Let your mind go blank after you've practice the trick on a tramp and let instinct take over

It's summer, do other sports like skating and biking that are higher consequence ie. hurt more when you fall.


You will fall a lot, but you will start to realize that even on concrete, if you know what you are doing falling isn't gonna hurt that much most of the time. That translates to skiing, having the mindset of knowing you could bail, but it's not the end of the world makes it a lot easier to try new stuff in my opinion.

If you never fall you are always going to have a fear of falling and you will never push yourself as much as you could and will stagnate

I find I often dwell a bit on the top of the inrun to visualize and build that boost to overcome the nerves, but I try to treat that drop-in like the commitment itself. You leave your fear and doubt at the top and once you’re cruising in you have already fully decided to do it.

When I do that right it’s mad peaceful and I stay super present and I almost always get whatever I’m trying around.

Easy.

all you have to do is promise her that when she divorces you she can keep the house and have custody of the kids and have the majority of your money in addition to making you pay for her to continue shopping at nieman marcus twice a week.

marriage lol. Is there anything in this universe that is more cucked than getting married....

Set it and forget it dude

Yeah you actualy have to work and practice your way through progressions, you cant just go to the park and find whats missing in your head. If you wanna throw a switch trick but cant ski switch ur gonna look like an idiot when you get to the top of the inrun.

Diving board , trampoline, cliff jumping idk

Drink a beer or two before the attempt
