. at first skaters will get a bit perturbed and may feel like you're jinxing them. they sometimes even get a bit pissed off. in that case i'll still sit there in the bowl or bottom of the ramp, etc. without shooting. if they relax a little and stick it, i'll ask them to give it another go and usually they'll land it.
