Great video. Nice to see even the experts have moments of doubt. Also the importance of preparation and practice. It was shot and edited beautifully too!
Well done mate. Totally killing it. I believe you have misspelled the fear checklist. "Rotating to early." Should be written "too early." Have a good one.
I've just started trying to ride through the park. Straight air and shifties off boxes. There's this one jump at Breckenridge in the park that I just can't seem to clear. After watching this video I feel wayyy better about the day that I had. The frustration and emotion I felt, well it's good to know an experienced skiir goes through the same thing. Thank you for making me more comfortable as well as all the tips on how to progress safely and how to deal with that fear. Keep up the videos and I'll keep watching!!
I loved this video because it has always been a problem with me. I’m currently trying to ski rails and I have been able to do both pipes and skinny boxes. What I see now is that I need to envision myself jumping onto the rail while I’m going onto a pipe because my fear of rails is that I won’t make it onto the top of it. If I can jump onto the pipe with enough jump then I should be fine on the rail. Baby steps is key, thank you stomp it 😊
This video is amazing! I appreciate that between all these videos and tutorials of Jens sending it, there's still moments where even pros have to conquer their own fears and mental blocks. I'm sure we've all been there during our learning process, and the vulnerability shown here really teaches us how to properly step outside our comfort zones
Just get an experienced buddy to help you out, find a nice flat box and send it dude! I've been skiing for like 10 years and have finally started to commit to grinding stuff this season, as well as other scary tricks, and it's a lot of fun!
Because of your tips and tutorials I managed to land flatground 180s and do basic Mutegrabs. I am somewhat proud of myself that I learned them so fast (in 2 days with some prep) but I wouldnt have been able to do so without your help. Thanks.
Thank you for this video! I love skiing and just doing slalom and skiing very fast but tricks were never what I wanted to do actually. Actually I just started watching your vids a few days ago and wanted to see how I can start doing tricks and learn something but now this video... I mean this was really what I needed! I am struggling with huge fears in my everyday life and I'm havin a hard time living happily since almost 3 years now but this video gave ma back some energy to face my fears and you actually showed me how to do so! Reframe, tell yourself what you fear and why you do so and start by small steps with having a checklist, a so called confidence list with small achievements. Small things you can do and achieve and by that process, slowly face the fear and take the negative energy from it to turn it into positive energy in order to keep pushing myself until I got what I wanted. For most people that's nothing special, but for me it was! For me it really was more than a Skiing video. I saw you struggle and nail it. That's not what you see normally today on social media and nobody wants to talk about struggle and failure, or even show it because "I may be considered weak" or "others don't want to know" but you, my man, just straight up caught me right there and made a difference! A difference I was looking for for such a long time and that even a coaching didn't make me see. Thank you for this video and for your pure energy! Thank you very much! Best regards from Germany!
The fear for injury with certain tricks is what has held me back countless times in skiing and wakeboarding for tricks I could easily do. Learning to overcome fear is definitely a very important part of progressive skiing. Thanks a lot for this video!!
This video helped a lot! I was 360’ing onto fat boxes no problem but god forbid I hit a rail. This helped me understand how to reframe my mindset and deconstruct my thinking toward the trick
Love to see another video about fear I got in an accident last year couldn’t walk for 3 months and I’m really struggling to want attempt tricks idk how to overcome it, it’s always in the back of my mind
That's a cool idea, not only break down the trick to learn a "new" trick, but break down the things in specific that you are afraid of going wrong and then conquer those one at a time. A good format for defeating anything.
I have been looking for a video like this for the longest time. Fear is my biggest issue when skiing park and I never could bring myself to overcome it. This video helped me so much, thank you so much for explaining everything in such great detail. So inspirational
Amazing video!!! Love the honesty of it!! I’ve been skiing all my life and had an instructors license when I was younger but never did freestyle. I now teach maths and take my pupils skiing - we were on the jump slope and I had to do a 180 and all of your advice rings so true even at my level of skills!!! Love it, thanks!
It was so cool to see you overcome your fear like that. I really like the way you broke it down and practiced each element of your fear separately before attempting the big rail. I can certainly apply that methodology to my own skiing. Inspiration to watch, really love your videos!
Learned this trick a few weeks ago on big rails, in my opinion it is one of the scariest rail trucks because it is so tempting to rotate to early, and the fear of catching your tails.. Fun trick when you land it though!
This is the exact thing I need cos I’m struggling with committing to rails (I keep on going up to the rail either not jumping or half jumping and bailing)
You have a good future with your channel. Good luck to you!!! 🍀 Never give up whatever happens in your life. I always watch your videos, immediately go for skiing and tryin’ everything that I’ve learned. Thank you very much❤️
Your such an awesome guy. All the tricks I’ve learnt are from you (backflips stuff like that) and now I e gone pro and have gone on tour to Germany Canada and japan
Best advice when frustration starts setting in, remind yourself that you’re about to have a breakthrough. When a trick is getting the better of me, I repeat to myself “I Can. I Will. I Must.” yo help keep focused. At the end of the day, it’s all about how bad you want it too.
Tanks man! I wached this video yesturday and it motivated me to overcome my fear of rails. Last year I was always backslipping, I hurted me a lot. Today I went to the park and FYNALY I hit rails. So tank you a lot! And if you go chek my last video of m’y channel (52 sec) you can see one of thoses backslap. If you give to me somes tips I will be very happy!
Laax has some of the best beginner parks it looks like. There is so many beginner features to hit. I have 3 mountains within a 20 min drive radius and all of them are bad for learning park. There is only really hard park features.
What are the songs in this video? They are amazing! Also I absolutely love your videos thank you for all you do. You've helped me improve so much since last years season
Hi Jens, nice vid as allways! I'm struggling with riding swich, maby you could show us how to practice that. I have allmountain skis, is it even possible to ride swich with these? Btw I've improved some skills in no time thanks to your awesome tutorials. Greetings Ale
Are 270's out considered hard in skiing? because they are in snowboarding and I learned to do them on skis within two days of learning how to grind a rail. I tried skiing for the first time like 4 years ago, didnt really get in to it so I stayed a pure snowboarder. I steadily progressed as a snowboarder and I'm proud to say I'm pretty good at rails. I can do 360's out, 270's out and ofc 180's both ways. I can also do all the different grinds on any rail you can find except the lipslide for frontside boardsliding. This took me very long to get to this point in snowboarding, and I wonder how I was able to get to basically doing 270's out both ways with skis in two days. For context I rented skis two days ago for the first time since 4-3 years ago and a friend of mine taught me to grind a flat rail. Yesterday I asked to borrow my sisters skis and if I could use them on my backyard rail setup (the boots were a bit tight tho, but I could use them). She said why not and I spent a good hour grinding my flat rail, with the end result being me being able to do 270's out both ways pretty consistently and lipsliding to fakie and forward. Should I consider buying my own skis, and become a weirdo who can do both snowboarding and skiing, or should I just accept the fact that what I did wasn't actually considered hard at all.
And pressed send by mistake and decided that maybe the problem was my own narrow mind so I stuck it out till the end. Still regret watching it all the way through but have decided that if it can’t be of positive use to me I really have wasted my time SO Thanks for sharing I’m really going to mull the shit out of problems and turn them from huge banquet s into frequent non filling snacks. Now I regret sitting here with my phone instead of loading the dishwasher - but if I just get up..................
Where have you mounted your bindings on the bent chetler 100? I just bought them in 188cm, also a pair of faction CT 1.0.. 188..love your vids, showing that older people can still do other stuff than carve and backcountry. So question 2, when do you release the bookings for classes? anywhere to sign up to get a heads up?
I went skiing a few days ago and had a panic attack on one of the slopes. My dad almost died in 2010 from running into a tree. He's luckily alive and we are going skiing again now, but I feel like I can't get over the fear of it.
Hey! You’re awesome! I want to ask you a gear question. Are there some skis good for freestyle (so park and stuff like that) and free ride (powder)????? If exist can you advice me a model?
Hi, I am a 15 year old skier from Norway that want to progress in skiing. I can do every spin from 180 to 900 and can grab some of the spins. I also can do backflips but I really want to learn something new like a crock or a flat spin, I was wondering which trick you recommend me trying to learn next?
Eggaming honestlt I just hucked it and gave it all I had, it wasn’t very smart though and I almost broke my ribs, but I had no idea what I did and just went for it. But I would recommend finding a knuckle and start spinning the 360 on the ground than slowly start popping on the edge of the knuckle and spinning the rest of the rotation on the snow, then you just pop more and more until you spin a full 360 in the air
My dear is that the back of my skies will catch the snow with any 180 trick I do. I have K2 turbo chargers (which have a tiny winy lip in the back). Should I be feared for this and how can I prevent that from happening?
Kinda thought the rail story would end with your brother dying so I was very relieved to hear it was just a bad injury.
Sorry about the emotional music possibly leading you to think that. Luckily he is alive and well 😀
Same bro
i thought he would be dead or paraplegic, too.
I was the same!
Same, was bout ta cry.... y u do dis
If you’re not feeling it don’t do it,
If you’re feeling it and your scared send it
Always send it !
It’s a full send policy round here!!!!
Yeah did that and broke my wrist and thumb
I agree
I'm definitely feeling I'm just afraid
And I'm here struggling with 360s xD great video dude
Bro yeah i already Hit the 360 but in the last two days i just sucked an now im struggling again feels good to know that im not alone
I can't even do a 180 =/
I landed it only once and it was my second try but after that i always fail to do it, i think its the fear that is holding us back
Yeah you need to bee Like ok i can do it i do it anyway you dont have to try ist Just useles pain

I believe you have misspelled the fear checklist.
"Rotating to early." Should be written "too early."
Have a good one.

broke my arm the first time I did a jump and a rail

Same. Last time I tried I slipped and got the wind knocked out of me hard.

This is quite deep however it is the motivation that we all need in our lives. Great video. 👏👍👍
How to gain confidence: "hold my beer" usually doesn't end too well for me
Please do the tutorial on how to do switch 180. You do quite a windup to start rotation and I would love to see that in detail.
One of your best video's. Really stuff to get in my toolbox
It was so cool to see you overcome your fear like that. I really like the way you broke it down and practiced each element of your fear separately before attempting the big rail. I can certainly apply that methodology to my own skiing.

Dude this vid reminded me exactly what I go thru, I’m a snowboarder and have struggled with front boards for years... awesome vid man 🙌🏻

Nice video and I struggle to jump on a rail....
Whoo ohh!!! Good job!!!! Going to ski my first time in bansko this January! Learning a lot from you👏👏👏👏😎😎😎
Was awesome to watch you persevere! Great work!
This channel should have much more subscribers.. Video quality is awesome
Great Video! It's so cool to see the whole process of getting over fear and stomp that trick!
Try to make more videos like this one. Very interesting and helpful with the process of elimination of fear and building the courage to land the trick
I can do 540 and 720 at the park and frontflips to pow. Should i try misty 540? I tried them on rollerblades to foam yesterday
kono's kickz . try it to pow first
Try fronflip in the park first
kono's kickz . Any tips for front flip to pow? My friend said he’d give me 5 bucks if I did it.
You've got it! Just try it to some nice pow
send it my man
One of the best video story I've ever seen 👏
Congrats for your success and thanks for sharing your journey to overcome your fear.

I enjoyed the video as always!!
I just had the same accident as your brother! Literally the same thing happened that's sooooooo weird. Hurt like hell
Nice camera guy you have there!
That’s what park skiing all about this is why we love the sport.
You know its a hella good video when there's 1 thousand likes and 4 dislikes.

Best guy in yt
Thank you so much
love this
i fear every time now, how to i overcome that. when i was younger i did not fear any jump .
Can you please make the same video about jumping big kickers?
Once you get past that initial fear, it's all about repetition to keep the fear down but also keep you confident.
Hey! You’re awesome!
I want to ask you a gear question. Are there some skis good for freestyle (so park and stuff like that) and free ride (powder)????? If exist can you advice me a model?
Ghiro Dormiente a ski that is good in Park and free ride ?
thanks die this Video, very helpful
Can you make a video about your ski gear
fear and adrenaline are so awesome when you are able to use them properly! It is a human super power! LOL
The park seems to be insane here in laax.
Hi, I am a 15 year old skier from Norway that want to progress in skiing. I can do every spin from 180 to 900 and can grab some of the spins. I also can do backflips but I really want to learn something new like a crock or a flat spin, I was wondering which trick you recommend me trying to learn next?
Eggaming honestlt I just hucked it and gave it all I had, it wasn’t very smart though and I almost broke my ribs, but I had no idea what I did and just went for it. But I would recommend finding a knuckle and start spinning the 360 on the ground than slowly start popping on the edge of the knuckle and spinning the rest of the rotation on the snow, then you just pop more and more until you spin a full 360 in the air
Eggaming and first time I did it I spent the entire day before I even tried it. After the 360 every spin is easy to learn
Eggaming no problem bro, good luck and let me know if you get it, I am going to try 1080 tomorrow!
Eggaming sure, that sounds good!
Eggaming I followed you and sent you a dm;)
Dude do you live in laax if so that's amazing
I ve never grind something only a box ... but i just did it and i was half way until i fell off
What is this ski slope ?
My dear is that the back of my skies will catch the snow with any 180 trick I do. I have K2 turbo chargers (which have a tiny winy lip in the back). Should I be feared for this and how can I prevent that from happening?
I did the exact same thing when I was trying a rail. My ski went under the rail and my leg hit the end. I ended up breaking my femur.
Can you do a video on which ski bindings to buy
I hope this helps me with my 360s
