the best thing is to just do it not think about it. thinking about it will mess u up and when u do it u have to commit

progression. dont just throw your self off of huge things before you know what your doing. just keep working your way up. when you feel more comfortable just go for it, its always scary at first.

I'm with you. Big stuff scares the shit out of me. But just as I learned doing smaller stuff, You just have to have confidence in yourself. If you can clear a 15 foot table, then you can clear another 5 feet until you get that dialed.

Just go for it. It sounds simple but that's the only way you'll learn. If you don't try it, you'll never get it.

im scared of being disappointed at myself. im scared of thinking back on a day and saying fuck.. i wish i had done that.. like now, i think back wishing i had another hit on chads to blackflip it or cork7, something, even if i hadnt stuck it, being proud of things is awesome

it sounds stupid, but if there is a big table or gap jump that i've never hit before, i spin it. only 360 but to me its less scary. weird i know, but there is a few people who would agree

hey i'm not saying noones every died, ya skiing is a dangerous sport. but when you're trying out rails and just trying to get some more air, strap on a helmet and use a bit of common sense.

Just keep moving up to bigger and bigger jumps and keep your confidence up. You will always be intimidated on something.

Well right now my resort only has this huge 40ft table that scares me, but they dont have a smaller jump for suckas like me. Same thing for rails, so right now Im feeling pretty down. :(
and I dont have anyone to ski with, so I dont have anyone to push me.

before i went to killy two weeks ago the biggest table i did was like 20 feet, and at killy i did one of their 40-45 tables, i just threw myself over it with a 180 and almost overshot, next time i landed it
all you need to do is be confident with yourill level and just do it, like nike always says

First you have to nail a supermodel.
Then go to the top, and just straightline at the biggest jump. You'll be like 'I'm the fuckin' man' cause you nailed a supermodel, and so you won't even think about hucking your body into the air like a ragdoll. Then IF you land it, you will be even more the man.
