Crappy periods of skiing

For the past 2 weeks my skiing has been the pit. The week previous to that I was throwing 7's ford and switch, 450 off rails and switching them up and having a great time alone. But for some reason, I cant seem to spin a decent 3 and I end up on my ass when I do a rail. Im even scared to pick up speed to hit a booter. Has this happend to anyone and is it possible to break the streek?

It happens, years ago I was progressing really well on jumps and then just couldnt muster the confidence.

You just got get out there and focue on having fun, who gives a shit about your tricks. Once you get back in that mentality it'll come back.

Don't worry about 3's, as easy as they are, they can be the hardest trick to land clean when you're having a tough time.  Streaks come and go so I wouldn't worry too much about it, it'll come back again, just keep working and get that confidence back up.

ive definately had those times, last year i went for 3 weeks where i couldnt land a clean 3 to save my life. then i got better. then from the beginning of the season until now ive been deathly afraid of spinning off medium-large size jumps. then last weekend i got comfortable spinning again.

you just gotta realize that its all a mental game. throw a grenade into that mental block and step your game up.

slump buster!

you need to go out to a party or bar, work your magic with a cute but fat girl, take her home and have intercourse with her

that should put you back on your game
