Scariest new trick you've done

What trick do you guys think is the scariest to do for the first time? My pick is doing a 3 of a bigger jump because its a lot higher consequence if you mess it up. It's really not that bad to do but pretty scary for the first few times fs.
If not that then probably the death rail that was 10 ft over a S rail that they had at Hyland a few years ago. Thing was crazy

First switch 3 on an actual jump was pretty scary, I think that's mostly because my brain hates looking over the correct shoulder so I had to either blender or spin it oppo 😣

Those type of drops are my favorite. I did one last year that had very tight "inrun" like that and a hole to Narnia between the landing and the lip. It was only 2m tall but spooky. Had to go snail speed which made it scarier.

rodeo, no doubt. for whatever reason, backwards setting off-axis stuff just does not agree with me. took it to 7 repeatedly but never felt good. stopped trying and just stuck with misties cause they felt significantly better

Zerospin for sure, I just felt like I had zero awareness about how fast I was going into the jump even though I could do switch 3s fine

switch lip onto a decently high rail.

Generally don't do things that scare me too much

Never did more than 1 backflip at a time but I watched a buddy do his first dub back and he stomped first try and was sooo stoked. Hopefully you had a similar experience

that's the plan haha. I'm annoyingly risk adverse for someone that enjoys "risky" activities. Plus side is that I'm still learning new tricks in my 30s.

Definitely my first 360 on a big air. On a rail 450 on disaster. Did a few in 2011 and never did one since lol.

In the streets on a gap rail I tried early back swap then hop the gap. Didn't get the clip but I was terrified to try it, took me a while to commit

Probaby disastering the dfd at my home mountain. Never been much of a big send type of guy so this took some guts. Also had to skip almost all the features to get enough speed.

Not sure of the scariest trick, probably just backflips IMO. Mentally super challenging, your body/brain doesn't want you doing that lol.
