One of my poles is really bent, and the other is bent in two places, and for some reason, I always put the most bent one in my left hand, and the other one in my right.

And of course, I kick the snow of my skis about every time I stop before hitting something, and when I'm bored/waiting, I just hit the snow with my pole. (btw, thats not why my poles are bent)

I just thought of one.  I absolutely cannot hit any feature without my goggles on, but only at the mountain.  I can hit sketchy rails and jibs in my yard, but on the mountain I cannot spin a jump and sometimes I cannot even grind a rail without my goggles on.  Its a mental thing, but I never wear goggles in my back yard.  Even on the smallest rail at my mountain, I can't even 2 off of switch up on it.  I think that goggles serve as a type of mental protection for my eyes, since they would have almost no force against a rail.

When I hit something for the first time I always lick my lips as I go up to hit it. I always re-buckle and re-strap my boot before I hit jumps for the first time in the day.

if im hitting rails on the way to a jump i allways think like, if i land this k-fed i will get a good rodeo around on the jump or somthing like that. i also wont hit a jump after a person fell on it even if they are out of the way. i wait till someone lands somthing, even if its like a strait air before i go haha.

I have a habit of making runs just to fuck with gapers, and stupid gaper questions always get very stupid answers. "Where did you get skis with two tips?....I cut a snowboard in half, duh."

this and:

the spanish translation thing, I always put my pants up, I always clap my skis to remove snow from the topsheets, I always do a first run of the park without hitting anything, I push on the top of my helmet before doing a trick, I always put my right ski before, I do strange noise while falling, looking uphill to see who's looking me, I need to ski with my googles and many more.

I feel concerned by alot of these habit. They're like ritual I need to do while skiing. Don't ask me why.

one of my pairs of poles has a pole that has a pretty good bend in it. I always have this one in my right hand. IDK why.

other than that i would say its "unique" that i always put my ski poles under one of my legs on the chair. (grips in) Then my hands are free for whatever. haha

Lots of times when I do spins, the trailing hand (or whatever you call it) usually goes up to my chest and the other arm kinda flails and then I look retarded... And whenever I do something that I think looked bad and people are watching, I tend to shake my head...

When I'm going down and shredding, I subconsciously make sound effects, like "Shew shew shew" or "Choo" and stuff like that.
