your rolling up to a kicker or rail?

depends on what im doing. if its somthing i have on lock im usualy not that worked up about but on occasonal ill catch myself with that "oh shit..." feeling
 
definitly just going in there knowing im gonna slay (or at least try) whatever im rolling up to. i try to stay as confident and and excited as possible. i like the butterfly feeling i get right when i drop for something big, especially if my music is blasting, cuz when im in the air, i feel like im in slowmo, its so dope. GOD I WANNA SKI!!!
 
For a rail on skis I usually just think about how to get one, if I lock on right from the start I know the rest will follow. On my board I usually visualize the whole thing though (I'm not as good yet). And I don't hit jumps anymore.
 
rolling up to a jump i think about a happy place and i try to stay smooth and light like butta

now pow lines and cliff i just feel super stoked like i'm invincible

 
for a rail sometimes its like oh shit im gonna die on this one but then i nail it so im happy afterwards
 
hahahaha

with skiing i'm always super stoked and don't think about the fact that if i fall im screwed i think of afterbanging the shit outa it and then claiming
 
whenever i try to visualize something i can never visualize the actual landing, i get pretty nervous before trying something
 
if its a new trick, just run it threw my mind over and over for like a minute or two, or the lift ride. then when its go time, just let er loose
 
same

for me its that im afraid of busting my ass, I screwed up on this rail once for god knows what reason, I mean I had it fine then all of a sudden my feet went out from under me and i hit my ass so hard i couldnt sit right for 2 weeks

 
i think about people laughing at me if i fuck up. joking i think about how hard i should afterbang depending on the difficulty of the trick. joking again i dont afterbang unless its necessary
 
if it's a rail, i really don't worry at all. not sure why but rails don't worry me much at all. a jump i'm just hitting first time, i'm like holy fuck...just generally scared trying to keep my cool. if i got it on lock though i'm just generally stoked and ready to throw down whatever i can.
 
as im going up to it, im reminding myself not to clip the beginning of the rail cause i have had many bad experiences, then after im on it, focus on what youre gonna do off or whatever...
 
when im scared of shit i just think that ' what im gonna do is gonna get me from point to point b'

and run that shit through ma head
