How do you guys build confidence/get over fear? keep in mind i’m underage so i can’t get drunk and i have no friends so peer pressure isn’t an option.

Accept that you will crash. Learn how to crash safely. You'll find out its not that bad most of the time. Then you'll have an easier time pushing aside the fear

drink an energy drink so your not at all tired when your about to throw it. Throw it once and no matter what the outcome is you’ll feel 100% ready to try again you just gotta get the butterfly’s of throwing 1st time out of your system.

you don’t need to even do the trick just tell your friends you did it while no one was watching

only option is to get drunk or high. Option 1 is to wait til you're old enough, but better option is to find the guy with the tallest T in the park and ask him for some drugs. hope this helps

Listen kid. You bring your friend's juul to the mountain, you rip the fattest fucking cloud and then just fucking send it. If you die you die.

but for real lets say you want to learn switch 360. Hit the jump a few times and once you are good at it you start doing switch 180s and so on.

Go and don’t think too hard or you’ll psych yourself out. If your hands are shaking at the drop youve for sure waited too long

I second that. Back when I used to ski park, I'd often start the day with working through my spins from the ground up. Get your 180s locked... like really locked, so that you can do any grab and style them as you want perfectly each time you do them. Then step up to 360 and absolutely drive them into the ground. Any grab, any style, any feature... and now do them both ways. Then add just a 180 and work up to 5 then 7 then 9. With a good foundation you always only need to just add a 180. As you are perfecting your spins slowly, you can even start carving into them and dip your shoulder just a little bit more each time and work up to some banger cork 5s. Once you get to that part THEN you can start (more confidently) think about stepping it up to cork 7s and rodeos etc. But seriously crush the basics first then progression will come easy and you'll have fun with being able to do what you went, where you want, and how you want. If you're having fun, confidence and STYLE will come naturally.

yep y’all said some good things to help get rid of fear. Obviously being high or tipsy can help alleviate fear a bit but the best way is to do three things. Like bob_dole said getting your base of tricks on lock is the the best way to be more comfortable with trying to learn the next hardest trick, you know what they say confidence is preparation in action, the more prepared you are the less jitters you’ll get. Secondly is visualization if you can easily see and envision the trick in your head it makes it seem more realistic and obtainable. That’s why you see a lot of action sports athletes acting out tricks before they drop for a run. And thirdly before you drop hype yourself up so you feel more confident wether that’s the homies cheering you on, a song, or just talking to yourself and hyping yourself up all of these options work. But if those 3 steps don’t work fuck some whores like someone else said ??

Drinking is an awful idea. The way you build confidence in skiing is by skiing a lot. You wanna 2 onto a rail? Spend 3 hours a day 4 days a week doing 2's onto the easiest feature you can find. Want to cork 7? Spend all day everyday doing spins on jumps and then go to the trampoline and practice them before throwing them onto snow. You feel a lack of confidence because you have a lack of preparation for what it is you want to try. Skiing is all about being methodical, safe and putting in your time. No one gets amazing at skiing overnight or in a short period of time. It comes from hard work and perseverance.

Yeah all the recommendations to drink, smoke, get an energy drink, etc are terrible. Whatever positive impact they may have in accelerating ski trick progress will be way outweighed by the potential negative side effects such as becoming hooked on those things. This dude is young and impressionable, y'all be careful. Ski more and do it for fun!

To add to that, alcohol is the opposite of a performance enhancing drug. It slows your reactions and distorts your judgment. So yes, you may be less fearful of attempting a trick, but you will have much less of a chance of actually landing a trick whilst intoxicated. The best way to be the best skier possible is to eat really well, exercise and weight train, get enough sleep, take care of your body and ski with homies who make you have fun skiing.

Getting drunk is fake confidence that wont last, if you want to be confident make a work out routine and stick to it. You will know that your body is in good shape and is strong enough to do tricks.

smh these foo's relying on substances. Gotta override the part of your conscience telling you to bitch out. Firmer you commit, less likely you'll speed check on the end of the lip or something stupid.
Also try to scare yourself every day. Wear down that mf conscience and teach it you're an unpredictable loose cannon that's not worth worrying about.

take a piece of paper and think of everything that will help you. For example, whenever my coach is about to do something scary to him, he takes 3 deep breaths, double pole tap, and he's ready to go. For me, I shake out everything and do a triple pole tap, and I'm good to go! stick to that routine because then it will be engrained in your brain as something that relieves all that anxiety.
also visualize the trick and feel it out,

You just have to ease in, practice your fundamentals and then it won't be so scary. I'm older than most on this site so I really try to minimize my risk by working hard on basics. What's helped the most lately has been to pop flat ground 180's in every direction over and over on mellow slopes. Sw1 left, sw1 right, right 1, left 1. Spinning those same spins off of jumps feels really easy after you've locked in your flat ground spins, you can also work on carves or butters for all of the above. It gives you a ton of stuff to practice even if you don't have the best park and it's very low risk.
