1-2 times a day, only park. Im skiing by myself most of the time and really dont wanna break both my legs and do handstands to the hospital. Pushing myself is just carving spins harder.

And im the new Twall.

I've never not fallen while trying a new trick. For ever hike up to hit the feature again, there is one fall involved, most likely. So if I go down the park once, I probably end up hitting everything twice, which basically means I fall 40-50% of the tricks I do in the park.

I'm new to park this year, so I'm falling all the time. I have 180s dialed, and have started getting 3s on lock with absolutely no steeze. If I try anything else, I'm gonna eat it first. Never too bad though.

i'm just back from an indoor shred and i'm happy to say that i actually pushed myself this time , i crashed several times on the kink box but ended up landing several nearly perfect hippy killers and tipdives
+i practiced doing zero movement 180s and 360 and holding my grabs longer, definately perfected my style in those hours and only gotten some bruises and sore shins ...

:)
i'm quite happy even tough the results are minor .... :D

Put it this way: If you aren't falling, you aren't progressing.  If I have a day where I don't have any bails, It tells me that I'm not trying hard enough.

i fall a lot, because my din is low for when i learn new tricks, but when i get them down yet dont land perfect my bindings eject 

on rails i fall mabey once or twice pretty badly but other times i may come off a little early and fall over or have one ski fall of the box while the other is on

If you're falling - you're pushing it, and progressing. So good work. Click for larger image

some days never, some days a lot. Most days I have one or two that hurt a bit and then I hit rails/the bar.

well taking vanular as an example, when i watch him ski around his home mountain (holiday valley) all he does are makios, flat fives and 180 blunts. cool tricks, but not super hard and hes got them on lock. no hate on vanular, but when hes just chillin he doesnt fall. i could do simple tricks all day and not fall too.

when it comes down to it, you never progress without falling. simple as that.

If the snow is nice and the landings are soft, I'll huck it HUGE. But ice (common where I am) is a different story.

its funny that i saw this thread...

i went last seasn maybe falling 5 or 6 times in the park, but to be honest i was a pussy last year. this year i wanted to step my game up like i did 2 years ago and ive fallen countless times. its crazy
yesterday i went to do a mute 3, a tweaked out mute 3, just off a 20 footer and at 180 i ripped my ski right off my foot... my din was at 8.5 too... it hurt a lot
