People watching me learn

[Corey_O132]

I was trying loads of new stuff last time I went skiing but when I go to do anything while the resort is packed I end up failing pretty bad and embarrassing myself. Also Ive been working on learning a misty 5 and people watching me try something like that is unnerving. Any easy way of overcoming this.

You're better than them. Thats all you need bud.

Any easy way of overcoming this.

Nope. Just be confident and don't worry about what other people think. Have fun doing whatever you want.

They cant do what you are doing. Naturally, they are curious. Dont mind other people, just your friends

 

[r.simp]

Just forget about everyone else. Who cares if someone laughs at you for trying something and having fun.

If I saw someone fall trying to learn a misty 5 Id probably have more respect for them than anything. Don't worry about other people tho dude. You're skiing for you right? Have fun with it and when you fall don't think about how you looked to other people. Odds are they cant do what you're trying and have no idea what it's like to throw a trick like that for the first few times. Keep tryin it dude and you'll stomp it soon enough!

Do some side country or backcountry if you have access to it. Even a short boot pack could be well worth it. Doing this has quite a bit of advantages and ill list a few.

1. Backcountry and side country are just sick and fun

2. Build the jump you want and where you want for the trick you want (lots of freedom)

3. Not near as many if any people will see you

4. Pow landings are nice for learning tricks

If you can't do that then id suggest what other people have already stated.

I give props to people who are trying to progress and have fun in the park. It looks cooler on you going out and really trying to accomplish new tricks. Also be confident!

Dude you are throwing a misty 5. It's not like you are falling on a flat box in front of them. If they laugh at you for that fuck em.

listening to music helps me forget about other people watching me

 

[soulskier]

Already surrounded by a few friends?

Whenever I ski with buddies I tend to only care about them and don't worry about anyone else...not that I even really care what they think

Maybe it's best to stop caring what other people think

 

[frosted_flakes]

gnarly falls are often cooler than landed tricks so its really a win win

 

[Corey_O132]

Thanks for all the help guys!

You're skiing for them. You need to ski for yourself.

They might be watching you and getting stoked on skiing. No need to get embarrassed man.

I like to stay in my own positive bubble where everyone on the hill is positive, chillin, and just having fun.
