commit or eat shit! if you pussy out part of the way then well.... just dont (of course depends on size of cliff and if you need to clear part of it)but, regardless confidence is key dont think maybe ill land this think this easy im gonna stomp the shit out of it!
 
1. go up to edge2. look down

3. climb back up 10-20 feet

4. skate like hell

5. scream like a bitch in the air

6. fail or nail that shit

 
if the landing is tight and trajectory is key, lay your pole down on the edge to mark the takeoff direction. that way when you back up and come in with speed you can line up with your pole mark. i saw ian macintosh do this in a video and picked it up from there works great
 
Its always a good idea to scope the cliff from below first. From the top i like to approach the edge and spot my landing. I'll use trees as a reference on where i want to go. You can also choose to step out the takeoff to make it easier. When you go off the cliff you want to keep your shoulders over your feet but at an angle more than perpendicular to the slope. If your too far forward you'll double eject when you hit the powder and if your two far back you'll back slap. When you land obviously try to absorb with your knees as much as you can and be ready to dodge any trees/rocks that might be ahead of you.
