Hey guys i was just thinking since im goin up to whistler tomorrow whats a good game plan when trying new tricks to avoid getting injured. For instance how can you start small and build up with say a flare on the quater pipe?

 
only try tricks you think you can do. when you try, visualize yourself doing it. if you go into something thinking you probably won't get it, you won't.

if you're comfortable with everything else you currently do, then it's time to try something new. like, if you're solid on 3s, then try 5s. if not, do a million 3s til they feel pretty easy.

 
hey thanks a lot for all the input. I am pretty comfortable with 3's like i can do them off the biggest jump so ill try to do some 5's. I feel pretty comfortable with underflips on the tramp at the gym where i get somewhere between 6 or 7 feet up until i land on a mat in the foam pit so maybe ill try that on a powder day

 
and just where were u thinking of trying these 5's since theres no kickers built in the park? just wondering...

 
there are kickers. you live in the wrong place.

on whistler/blackcomb? umm no since i was up there YESTERDAY... and since u live in Boulder.. im guessing u werent

 
Stop being a pussy and go after it. If you are afraid, your chances of getting hurt increase drastically.

ya, gotta have confidence.

also, use the tricks u know as stepping stones to learn the new ones.

like if youre sick at 3s, it will be easy to add a 180 and land the 5. dont just go for a dspin 7 when you dont know any tricks similar to it

how bout rails ?

i can jump in the park and stuff but i cant figure out damn rails

Ya same here man i royally suck at rails like i have good balance but cant stick them. Rails arent really skiing anyway just like the guy said i cant do all the jumps ski the mountain fine but rails just arent happening. Im not sure if there are jumps set up probably not at blackcomb but whatever if there is snow something can be built

 
even i (who live in Pa) know that whistler/blackcomb has kickers.. they're opening the park on blackcomb i believe tomorrow.. so they have jumps dont worry.. STRETCH.. best advice.. dont go to the park super early cause ur body is gonna be cold and not loose.. do a groomer or so.. before u go to the park. or ski anything u want before u risk getting hurt/ending the day early

got for a 7, or maybe some unnatural stuff

if ur in the pipe and feeling sexy, go for a flair or someting u think is like a flair

Well I think the best thing is to not really try much this early in the season. It's just not worth thes early in the season. I got hurt erly seaon a couple years ago and it sucks sitting around gimped up when it's puking in January. But if you must I think the biggest thing is just being confident. When I'm with people who are good they push me and I always feel way more confident when I'm super stoked. If you are confident in what you are doing you'll stomp the piss out of tricks.

Rails are easy man. The tough part is just learning them first. I garuntee you will learn them in one day. Oh and there is no easy way of learning them, you will eat it hard at least once.

my school mates always said that they would fuck anything that could walk. i never saw why i had to limit myself.
 
if you get a bad feeling about doin sumthing...throw sumthing easier that time or just dont do it(cuz bad vibes are crashes...then you get all pissed at yourself and 'have to do it'

 
maybe since u live in PA and not in whistler u oughta not talk about a place that u dont live and ski every day... theyre opening the superpipe tommorow... no jumps yet, not enuf snow in the park though their madly making it... tons of rails set up on both whis and blackcomb though...

 
if it helps, i found out that getting more speed than whats comfortable for rails helps. that and bending ur knees a little bit.

stay fucased try not to think what would happen if. and if some one is pressuring you like come on man do it already. tell them to shut the fuck up

 
^ word up

Dont let a person pressure you into something you feel uncomfortable about.. esp. if you know they cant do it

try using music to get focused more .. just pop in w/e you like in your walkman and chill

then go do it up

in general try not to put out your hands to break a fall, its really easy to break or sprain wrists and fingers and those kinds of injuries usually dont heal well and its super easy to reinjure. try to land on a fatty part of your body like your back or ass or somthing, tuck and rollin is where its at

dont get it twisted
 
focus and visualize yourself until everypart of you body knows where to move and when to move. hit the jump and it will be atomatic

Go to the gym and work the fuck out. Get your core strength up, like abs and such. And work on your legs alot too, and your shoulders, mine are ripped up so I need to work them out. But yeah, go work out and get some muscles

yea but take it easy and have a good time cause skiing isnt fun when people are telling you to stop being a pussy and try shit you dont feel comfortable with
