Tips to become ballsier?

I made a thread on something similar this season and tried everything people recommended. None of the advice worked miraculously except for skiing with someone better than you. You will want to look good to them so you will go bigger and try new tricks. All that aside, you just have to stop being scared which is much easier said than done though.
 
Remind yourself that pain is temporary, think of how great it's gonna feel when you stomp the trick and then as you drop in just stop thinking.
 
Film. Then you can tell yourself, "Hey, if I stomp this, it will be a good shot, and if I crash and burn hard, then it will still be a funny crash."
 
this is so true, skiing and being pushed by the realization of them just being better than you and realizing its just commitment

 
honestly taking a gnarly crash is the best thing for me. as soon as i realize i can crash really hard and be fine i stop worrying about throwing stout tricks.
 
I always would just think....if I crash and get hurt, I won't have to go to work tonight!! Seemed to work for me!.....maybe you should get a shitty job OP! Haha
 
.

and if you pussy out , you have to rewatch yourself be a pussy and pussy out

and that makes you feel like a pussy

never go full pussy
 
If you've never tried it, think "what's the worst that could happen?"

If you've tried it and failed, think "was that really that bad..."
 
I'm probably the only one posting in this thread that's qualified to answer this question...

There's nothing you can do. You're either a pussy or you've got balls. Because you made this thread in the first place, I can tell that you will always be a pussy. It's not some skill that you can learn through the advice of others. Simply put, it's your personality. Accept that you're a pussy and stop worrying about it like a fucking pussy.
 
one time i spotted hot girls i knew in a chairlift watching people lap the park. dropped in did the ballsiest tricks ive ever done d spins rodeos nollie fronts in a strange turn of events the one less hot (other had a thing with another guy) hooked up with me. twas a good day
 
be fit, eat somewhat healthy, be positive, do dangerous/somewhat ballsy stuff every day. think your the shit, like confidence up the b hole. and you should be good. seriously though, its like a lifestyle/mentality thing. when i was like 15-19 i pretty much just skiied, my mentality was more like "yeah im skiing today cool, maybe ill do some tricks" now i do something active every day, try to be very fit, mountain bike like crazy in the summer, and in general try to get some kind of cool activity in every day if possible. and now all i can think about when im lapping the park is how to push myself harder.
 
I wonder how many people have disastered 40ft. triple kinks or slid boxes on top of bulldozers the first year they learned how to slide a rail... I call it being fucking stupid but as we all know that's just as similar to being ballsy.
 
Your a dumbass. It can change unless your so much of s pussy that you dont try anything but once you start progressing and learning new tricks you'll find yourself commit more easily because you've had more experience with the whole mental and commitment thing. It's all about practice
 
ski with a person(s) better than you. push your limits to keep up, and no one wants to be that guy that everyone is waiting for at the bottom.
 
Plan what your going to do off the jump before you get to the run in, then once you get there just send it. Also listen to some hype music.
 
~Do it and be happy that you at least tried it or stoked that you landed it

~Don't do it and be disappointed for the rest of your life and never know what could have been

>Live with sleepless nights

>start doing harder drugs to deal with the pain

>join a gang

>kill or be killed

>go to prison for 35 years for homocide

>get released as an old man with nothing to live for

>the end

Just nut up and do it. theres no secret to being ballsy other than being ballsy
 
I don't know why you got so many down votes for this because it is more or less true. OP, you are either a pussy or you aren't. Some people have that "daredevil" gene and others do not. Some people prefer to live on the edge, others do not. Some people perform at their best when they know there is an element of danger involved that could get them seriously hurt, others do not.

At the end of the day it really comes down to how much do you really want it and what are you willing to sacrifice to progress? Drinking alcohol on the hill is the only other way to up your risk tolerance but even that won't turn you from Pussypants Mcgee into Evel Knievel.

And grip and sip some purple drank. That helps too.
