What works best for me is being as well prepared as I can be coming into the contest, knowing my equipment inside out and trusting that they are 100% reliable. Then, while waiting for my flight, I just relax by talking to old friends, helping newbies, or just hanging out and joking around. Keeps me loose and relaxed before my flight. Anything to distract me from getting nervous and prevent my muscles from tightening up will do for me.
