Crashing

Does everyone else have the same problem as me? Is crashing on skis not really painful.. like when I crash trying a trick I am usually a bit more tentative the next time I try something, or if its really bad I'll just stick to stuff I know I can throw for the rest of the day. Maybe its just me but whatever tell me what you guys think... I wish I could have no fear.

A Bad bail will def hurt your confidence.

Just get better and go at it again, what do you have to lose?

yeah, I have to agree with you, when I am committed to landing a trick I really want to land I will usually do it until I get it

it doesn't matter how many times I bail, but it has to be something I really want to accomplish

Hmmm... dedpends on the severityf the trick and the circumstances. Sometimes... if I'm feeling good... the fall will make me want to do itmore. but if i'm real laid back and mellow, it'll justt scare me and make me puss out and do grabs.

suck it up Cryss. Watch the video of you falling a million times. you won't make the same mistake that way. Just keep spotting your spin. because you just started spinning and took the landing like a champ.

But anyways yeah whenever I hurt myself on a rail I really take a step back. I think that I was really close to really hurting myself. but on jumps it's different because I know that I can always just underrotate or whatever. You have to fully commit to a rail though.

falling doesn't really hurt that much, it just pisses me off. but once you fall a lot you get to be a pro faller, like me!!

If Im not hurt to bad to ski still I usually try it a few more times, usually until its to painful to ski. Usually after a fall I ask myself how am I going to progress if I quit after one fall, or I say what little girl, too scared to try again? (sorry CK)

Use the twenty minute rule! No matter what, do the same trick over and over for twenty minutes, hike the tabel whatever, you'll get it after twenty minutes(or in most cases)This has always worked in my case

all i do is crash, so I've gotten used to it. Unless it's a really really bad crash, I don't usually get scared.

Falling sucks...especially when they hurt really badly. I typically keep trying until I fall too much because I am pissed and tired...then the next day I seem to be able to stick it (visualization). I take a step back on rails (esp since I am learning...) and when my skis fall off before I actually fall...that shit sketches me out and I am not confident going into jumps...

nothing a couple beers and captin and coke doesn't fix...

falling scares me. i'm not worried about the actual pain part, just the whole idea. it doesn't make sense, and its not really as bad as it sounds the way i just said it. i don't really mind falling on new stuff, just tricks i know i should be able to stick every time, like 3s
