Scariest new trick you've done

What trick do you guys think is the scariest to do for the first time? My pick is doing a 3 of a bigger jump because its a lot higher consequence if you mess it up. It's really not that bad to do but pretty scary for the first few times fs.

If not that then probably the death rail that was 10 ft over a S rail that they had at Hyland a few years ago. Thing was crazy
 
First switch 3 on an actual jump was pretty scary, I think that's mostly because my brain hates looking over the correct shoulder so I had to either blender or spin it oppo ?
 
Not a trick really but doing my first straightline at Bridger Bowl was terrifying coming from Vermont
 
Massive cliff i jumped this winter with pretty flat landing my homie jumped it so i kinda had to it wasnt as bad as i thought when i finally did it super stoked after. And there was no snow on the takeoff just rock so we put on a litle snow on there.

Those type of drops are my favorite. I did one last year that had very tight "inrun" like that and a hole to Narnia between the landing and the lip. It was only 2m tall but spooky. Had to go snail speed which made it scarier.
 
rodeo, no doubt. for whatever reason, backwards setting off-axis stuff just does not agree with me. took it to 7 repeatedly but never felt good. stopped trying and just stuck with misties cause they felt significantly better
 
Zerospin for sure, I just felt like I had zero awareness about how fast I was going into the jump even though I could do switch 3s fine

First dub backflip was so terrifying. I stood at the top for like 5 min before finally dropping in

Never did more than 1 backflip at a time but I watched a buddy do his first dub back and he stomped first try and was sooo stoked. Hopefully you had a similar experience

Nice
 
First time trying to slide unat on a down rail was scared I would put to much pressure on my back foot and fall backwards.
 
sliding the top of this one wall ride. i can send a vid later. that was the most recent. but in general, i dont know what it is about them but 3s scare the shit out of me.

that's the plan haha. I'm annoyingly risk adverse for someone that enjoys "risky" activities. Plus side is that I'm still learning new tricks in my 30s.

Daring Unc club.. haha same dude. We turn into calculated stuntmen because we don’t bounce anymore but still need to send
 
Definitely my first 360 on a big air. On a rail 450 on disaster. Did a few in 2011 and never did one since lol.

In the streets on a gap rail I tried early back swap then hop the gap. Didn't get the clip but I was terrified to try it, took me a while to commit
 
Probaby disastering the dfd at my home mountain. Never been much of a big send type of guy so this took some guts. Also had to skip almost all the features to get enough speed.

Not sure of the scariest trick, probably just backflips IMO. Mentally super challenging, your body/brain doesn't want you doing that lol.
