Too much speed after landing?

So Lately I've been picking up loads of speed after I land any jumps , and I panic and try to stop and fall.

Could anyone tell me why this is happening and tips to stop it? +K to all good answers
 
ummmm your landings are just super smooth? just do speed checks after a landing by lightly going sideways alittle to shed some of that speed. if your not hurting yourself when you land i dont see what the problem is
 
get used to the speed?, um try and spide youre skis side to side to slow down maybe?
 
This is one of the reasons why people say it is good to learn the fundamentals of skiing before you really start to ski the park a lot. Go out and ski the mountain a little and you won't be scared, and will be very comfortable and in control at any speed.
 
by super smooth i mean your landing in the sweetspot of the landing (not overshooting to flat or knuckling short) which is good. pop will not affect your takeoff speed horizontally, but should keep you in the air for a tad longer, which would make you go farther.

but yea the speed is just something to get used to and aslong as you dont overshoot the next jump then that speed is a good thing just stay in control
 
^^ Its not that i'm inexperienced its just i've been picking up more speed than usual? And thanks to all :)
 
Your question is a little unusual. But it sounds to me like you're uncomfortable with the speed needed for landing a particular jump, so you naturally tend to lean back after landing. When you lean way back you lose most control and balance. Maybe that's why your falling?
 
learn how to turn.

whatever you do, just stay in a nice, forward, athletic stance and turn...
 
maybe you should get lighter gear and loose a layer of clothing. are you fat? do you carry rocks with you when you ski?

have you tried turning?

I've always wanted to bring rocks with me when building booters so I could go faster than I normally would during the in run... Grab a big rock, ski down the in run, ditch rock and hit the jump. Go faster and further with less hiking. It's just so damn hard to find rocks in the winter.
 
just wax ur skis with candle wax which will dry ur base up hten u wont have to ever worry about getting to much speed
 
Are you talking about park jumps or things like cliffs? On cliffs, it's easy to get a lot of speed on the landing because you accelerate or at least dont slow down in the air, and then are often going faster than you might want in the terrain that you're skiing upon landing, thus making it easy to feel out of control or like you're going too fast.
 
what? is this thread serious? how the fuck do you expect people to help with this problem? My only advice is learn to ski fast.
 
deploy this right when you land
