I go up to the hits completely unsure of what the hell im doing. Like I'll be on the lip and realize that I'm slightly wound up and...uh oh, what the fuck am i about to do here.

this usually results in the sickest penis flail 1's and 3's you've ever seen

yours?

When i first hit a jump to try and dial my speed in i usually end up thinking your "definetly hitting the jump this time" and thinking "i'm gonna pussy out the next time" so i try adn throw down my first hit.

usually ends up in a case and chiropractor the next day

popping too much onto rails.
overshooting jumps.
knocking old ladies over when we are getting off the lift. i ski alot by myself so i have had to ride with some sketch-ass parties of old people. and somehow i get trapped in the middle of all of them.

well, i usually have left and right for my skis, but it's because of the status of my bindings more then skis which determins what ski goes on what foot.

that and i have a problem with going fast. i like it, and i've gotten in trouble from my friends for not going at their pace. i donno, i don't see why they can't just keep up.

i have right and left poles, which is due to one of them being bent slightly from when my friend fell on it in the lift line. forgetting to put my goggles back down after the lift, and fixing them right before the jump. and clicking my skis together on the lift to get the snow off, which results in chipped paint.

messing up in sa slopestyle run and ending up not lanidng on the direction i wanted too (fakie instead of foward or the opposite). That always result in me being myself and thinking that reverts are the gayest thing ever in comps so I end up doing omething i didnt planify before ( i actually ficgure out wich trick to do about 3-4 feet from the top of the lip) and wishing for the best..
that actually happened in all the runsthat qualifed me for finals or semis in every comp i entered this year.

or when im dropping it i used to* always adjust my goggles, then adjust my pants and then pull down my jacket right before i hit the jump, same routine going into the next one. Same ski on each side is also essential.

i always case booters, for which i'm notorious with my friends. i also somehow grease alot of rails the first time, and then struggle with them afterwards bc i think about them too much.

and yeah, when im about to hit any good-sized booter i always give a test ollie or two, and check my straps and googles non-stop

I have to have the same skis on the same feet all the time. I do the tip taps on the chair and try and get a record high. I have to have my pole straps on or I feel weird. I sometimes forget what I'm doing right as I get to the lip and end up doing the most sktech things ever. Sometimes on rails it looks like I'm hugging a really fat guy.

like half the time i'm going to do a 270 out of a rail, or any spin off a jump or drop or anything, once in a while i second guess myself and for a split second think "do i really wanna make the effort to spin this?" and i end up only spinning like 180 off a rail or 90 or 270 off a jump and i land dead sideways and completely ruin myself.

i also always put certain skis on their designated feet. it's actually really bad to do cuz you'll always have one edge really dull and one edge sharper.

When im going into a rail i always do a little hop before the lip, never on jumps only on rails, and i always ski with the same ski on the same foot, and adjust my goggles before any run
