My ski socks have a L and and R on them, if i mix this up I have a bad time

If my ipod runs out before the end of the day = bad time
 
I try to listen to this on the first run of every season:

More a tradition than a superstition.

 
in the gate before every single race i go through the same routine of stomping my skis and readjusting my poles and fixing my helmet.
 
last run

theres a panel above the stairs in my house that I always slap before I ever go skiing. Never missed a beat. 100% positive that if I don't I will get injured.
 
oh yeah and when I ski at Stevens Pass I don't try anything new until after lunch, because I always suck before lunch.
 
i think this is actually true because the same thing happens with trampolining: smooth pimp before lunch, dumbass trampgaper after.
 
Yeah whenever I'm done skiing I says "two more runs" with the Austin Powers quotations. Mountain is sooo dumb it can't even tell sarcasm...
 
One of my jackets is reversable, if I wear it with the check print out it all goes to shit.

If a punter puts the chair lift bar down on my head, may as well go home that day
 
I used to always abide by the rule of silent rock. But it has transferred to metal rock and we just blast music past
 
mmmmmm i am not from oregon so I just do it when I go up with my buddy. He follows it, so I do too. I see you are from boring. Theres one hell of a strip club there. lol
 
I have to wear the same pair of socks always. I wash them but I just feel weird when Im wearing different socks.
 
ive got a lucky rock that i ski with. some guy in utah gave it too me and told me i cant hurt myself with it. its stupid, but i always keep it in my pocket
 
Same except I never ever stop eating the banana. I shred with it all day long in my hand taking little nibbles at a time
 
I like giving pounds when I'm filming, if I don't i feel weird. every drop.

Also, 2nd to last run, skip the last. never call last run (duh)

Stretch before every first run. have to
 
There are songs I must never listen to when skiing or it's 100% sure i'll eat shit during the run.
 
I know its all stupid but i always put my right sock, boot and ski on before the left one (no, i dont put my right boot and ski on and then start putting the left sock on.) My ski designs are different, so i have a left and a right ski, if i mix them i usually fail on rails (might have something to do with slightly differently tuned edges tho).
 
i used to always put the same ski on the left and the same ski on the right but then i realized that my front ski edges were destroyed so i dont do it anymore...
 
never call last run

only try new trick when not nervous. i fall no matter what if im nervous

re-adjust right pole before left

click in right ski before left
 
nervous is inevitable though. If you're standing up at the top of the run-in for a jump preparing for your first flip you're going to be nervous. It's about confidence and overcoming the nervousness and just fucking sending it.
 
When I cheer for my homies and clack my poles together, i have to have an even amount of pole clicks for left over right and right over left....

 
Back in the day when I went to Windells like 8 years ago my buddy would purposely talk through Silent Rock. He'd be like "what.. why's every so quiet" really loud and just have conversations with himself trying to hold in the laughter at the same time. Some drivers didnt really care but there was this one superstitious driver who freaked. He couldn't believe he talked thru it, and on purpose. He face looked as if the world was coming to an end. He was like despising my friend the rest of the ride, thinking he was a some king of curse. Telling all of us how it was a mistake or something being friends with my friend. It was ridiculous .

Funny thing is my friend broke his arm the next day, ahaha.

And I got stitches in my knee from bmxing after coming down from the mountain and talking through Silent Rock the day before.
