"Perkele (Finnish: [ˈperkele] ( listen)) means evil spirit
or variation of words "god damn" in Finnish and is a popular Finnish
profanity. It is most likely the most internationally known Finnish
curse word."
14262546:BradFiAusNzCoCa said:I can confirm it is a good one to yell. That or “vittu” or “saatana”. Maybe even a “Vittuperkele” or “vittusaatana” to really channel the energy

I'd need a camera rolling just to do a straight air on a medium jump anymore!
As far as skiing, age has made me way more chicken than I used to be!
You kids have no excuses!
Not like a big deal, but look at this little Grommet! He puts the "old" man to shame!

It's like asking "how do I make myself get out of bed early? I'm so tired!" Like yea, you're tired, nothing will change that, just get out of bed anyway. Same thing with sending, just do it anyway even though you're scared, stop waiting for it to feel perfect.
