STRESS FROM TRYING A NEW TRICK?


















TREVOR WARD HAVING A ROOUGH DAY ON A 50 50.

















ME PUTTING WAR PAINT ON MYSELF.


What do you do if you are nervous about a trick. ?
I personally tap my foot and listen to some speed metal. my main home boy Trevor Ward. just goes for anything he wants and if he slams he gets more pumped to do it. I have at times used my own blood as war paint. I Know of many skaters who have mad O.C.D. and skip a step or two on there way back up , or push only 4 times before trying a Manuel trick. I know guys who drink a lot. guys who fast from food. dudes who knock on wood aka there deck. or toss salt over there shoulder. I met a skater once who had a lucky necklace and he would put it in his mouth before he tried any =thing that SKETCHED him out on his plank. I would love to hear what anybody here does when the slave gun is on them filming and there trying a new trick or one that is pissing them off or is just down right scary. for me I been breaking my head trying to upload any video longer than one trick on here. My lap top is old and dated and it takes years to even put up a 20 second video.

Oh god the pressure gun is pointed at me. Usually when our filmer is rolling all I can think about is "goddamnit every minute i mess around is costing us money, land the shit!" so for the past couple years when I'm struggling I look at our filmer and say "Jerry.....FUCK YOUR FILM OKAY, JUST FUCK IT, AND YOUR STUPID FUCKING CAMERA!!" Jerry laughs and usually a few attempts later it's in the bag. I only use it when im really sucking and about to give up though. Dont wanna overuse the luck, and jerry is fragile.
