How to get the balls to huck shit?

I have good air awareness, I have a good jump, I want to lay down a flat 5, an inverted cork 3, and possibly a cork 7, but I always talk myself out of throwing these hot tricks. What are your methods of getting the balls to fucking send it? Pump up songs? Convincing yourself you've done it before? I'd like to avoid drugs but if needed, but might give in if the ends justify the means.

trampoline training + slushy day for first try.
pow day also works.

drugs do work also.

you have to visualise it and to get ready for whats gonna happen what are you going to see where to look.

Eating shit on a flat 5 hurts just as much as eating shirt on a 360. That helps me somehow.

I just do tricks I'm extremely used too then step it up a little bit with a harder trick I don't have on lock. Then something just takes over and I just start throwing stuff that I'm normally to scared to throw.

just dont think about it and just do it one day by yourself
you will surprise yourself
its scary coming up to the jump but by the lip you cant even think about what youre doing just go for it
and if you just watch people hit a jumo for awhile you will realize its not that big and scary

True that, I've tried flat 5 a few times before, never landed. I'm just worried that I won't commit to it when I try again, the feeling of feet over head is intimidating until you get used to it.

Warm day with some buddies throwing down too always gets my stoked to go bigger and do crazier things. Whenever I try a new trick that scares me i just like focus on the jump and what the trick looks like all until i finally hit the lip then just fully commit. Sometimes I'll talk to myself to distract me. Don't last minute decide to do a different trick either or you'll throw completely wrong and probably get hurt when you most likely were going to land the other trick in the first place.

Friends that are better than you pushing you. Also just calling yourself a pussy in your head until you just throw it.

I just try not to think about it. I go through the trick one last time in my head and immediately start booking it towards the rail or jump. Half the time, it happens so fast that I don't even know what I'm doing until I'm half way through the trick or have already landed.

The more thoughts going through your head, the more chance you'll bitch out. Just send it and rely on your natural instincts to get you through the trick.

Just heard that there's a 9-13" snowstorm coming in and the place I'm going to sometimes doesn't groom the park. This might work out well.

Also skiing with this kid is a bitch!

One week you'll be on the same level, then the next week he's pulling off tricks that will blow your mind. Which pushes you to try harder, and eventually eat a bunch of shit.

But in retrospect I've learned more things from skiing with people who are better than me than skiing by myself or with people of lesser skill. Mostly because they push you do to things that you would never do, but you do them anyway because you don't want to look bad.

^part of the reason i want to try these is because I had a friend who was bragging about how he learned them and how I couldn't do them. I'll give it to him that he has major balls but he hardly has any air awareness. I'm the opposite.

the flat 3 is super easy. go for a backflip. but drop one shoulder and grab your opposite boot. you will see your landing in no-time.

that's whackflip, i'm going for more of a true flat because it's more comfortable for me, and i'm scared to death of backies on skis, so to start with one would end up bad for me.

I know so many kids that said the same bull shit about being scared of backflips and wanting to do every other trick before. Once you get backflips down they're easier than threes. Nut up or shut up and do a bunch of back flips, then it's easier to take things from tramp to snow IMO. There's a million other threads of kids asking the same question, try looking at those.

Just pretend if you don't land the trick you'll never get laid.

Just sack the fuck up, thats all there is to it. If you want to get better then your gonna have to try new stuff. and OP you will probably die if you try an "inverted cork 3" because that trick doesn't exist

poor wording on my part. I'm talking about a regular cork 3, I've thrown off axis 3s but nothing 90º off axis that i've landed.

I always thought hucking shit had more to do with penis size than ball size.

The only airbag near me is a super steep jump to 20+ft drop to bag. It's not setup on flat ground like most airbags, it's a massive step down. It hurts. I'm going to build a big powder jump (which should be easy, just got a 14" storm. Also doesn't hurt like the airbag), and then take it to a park jump.

Ski with someone that can throw the trick that u want to try. Also a method that works is claim your trick, then give your friend $10 and tell him if you dont send it he gets to keep it...every time

I'm skiing with someone who broke some teeth trying to flat 5, I'm not sure if that counts or not... But damn, I never thought about the money game. Thanks!

The money works, or you an always do what Hibbs does, "if I dont huck it punch me in the nuts when I come back up the tow"

While you are skiing, keep a whole egg in your pocket. It has to be uncooked, not hard-boiled. E-YOLO does it, or you can always change your tampon.

Comedy aside I recommend either on a pow day trying stuff or hitting an airbag. Last year an airbag came to my mountain and I got cork 7s down within 5 attempts and landed it 1st try on snow within a few days.

Hibbs is such a boss haha, if he can do an urban double with that technique it has to work.
