what the fuck....

At my old home mountain about 1/4 the way up the road to the mountain we had to cross a cattle guard. NO MATTER THE COSTS everyone in the car had to open the door to let the trolls in/out. I don't fuck with bad luck on the hill.

For some reason I take my helmet off then put it back on and adjust it before hitting jumps. I reckon it was habit but now it feels superstitious. Dont wanna fuck with those demons if they are there.

Every Crash Ive had was on a last run, be it long boarding or skiing. So to prevent this my friends and I NEVER call lat run anymore. its always "I'm getting pretty tired" or "Lets Wrap it up". Its crazy but it couldn't be coincidence that our crashes always occur after a called "last run",

"Every time I've been seriously hurt while skiing it has been in a last run"


This is because it's usually pretty hard to take another run when you are seriously hurt.

Called Prior to the crash. Generally speaking this is true though
