Overcome fear on jumps

ReturnToMonkeyGain air awareness whether it's on a tramp or cliff/bridge jumping, or otherwise just skiing off stuff more. Everything from small side hits and cat tracks to cliffs and bigger jumps. They'll all help you get more comfortable and less scared to try new things especially on the smaller jumps

ShittyskierI'll jump off like 30 to 40 ft cliffs and hit the biggest jumps at my resort do flips corks Misty's n shit on a tramp but still cant bud up the confidence to 3

powpatrollean forward, but not that much

mrk127You just gotta accept that you will probably crash a couple times and it will be just fine on a small jump with softish snow.


And this...

ShittyskierI've ate shit on a 45ft before and I was aight idk what's holding me back

mrk127So do it pussy

KilaTsunamiThis should go without saying, but you have to have Full Tilts

logmueAfter you eat it a couple times going off a jump you'll realize it's not that bad. Landings are soft.

DeadBUnless its a shitty jump.

ShittyskierHow tf do I get over fear? I'm not really scared to try things on rails but when it comes to jumps I'm to scared to try a 3 but I've tried a 4 out of a rail

SlowbroYou can get over it by hitting jumps a bunch. Tricks on skis feels weird at first due to the forward momentum but you'll adapt if you do it enough. And coaching helps a lot if you're part of a team and motivated enough.

asparagusLol east coast landings are ice they sound like fire crackers when you land

EverchangerFelt and heard this

Sean_DHave no clue why this is getting responses again but I am now starting to be less of a bitch. Have tried a forntflip off a bump 3 times, 360s, switch and forward 270s on a hip, and 180 mutes.

hvxenjoyerGet your homie to film you with a HVX200 with a good scene file you'll lace for sure

asparagusNow very scared because I told myself I’ll send more jump tricks next year. Gonna have to go right after it snows so the landings aren’t all scraped away.

DominatorJacquesProgress. Threads never die.

PhlebotomistSack up and hit a really big jump a few times and itll make the medium sized, trickable jumps feel tiny and less intimidating

Sean_DImpossible, jumps at my hill r too big and landings are very icy or very hard east coast shi

PhlebotomistTheyre okay to just straight air though im sure, i also ski on the east coast so i feel the icy landing part, but you could literally just take off and roll the windows down the whole time. Being in the air that long vs what the smaller jumps feel like afterwards will make you much less scared.

Sean_DNot scared of the jump part, scared of the spinning part

Sean_DI take it back, I'm too scared to try shit on a real park jump. Handmade jumps/ side hit aren't scary but nah, park jumps r dummy scary

Gulo_guloIf the jumps at your hill are too big you could try asking them to make a smaller one. One year my hill had a tiny baby jump and monster comp jump almost the whole winter until I emailed them and asked for a medium jump. One week later perfect medium jump.

Also, try to jump "casually". Just do it again and again until it feels boring and like you could do it anytime anywhere.

nolliebackflipDo a 360 on a small ass jump -> do a 360 on a bigger jump
