Loss in confidence

Chucker_Dude

I think i explained a while back that i had quite a big crash at my local trails on a drop. Well, since then ive ridden about 4 or 5 times, yet i cant bring myself to do any of the drops again.

I know i can do them, but when it comes to riding them, i just cant bring myself to do it.

Yes ive been practising on smaller drops, to try and work my way up, but it hasnt done anything as i still cant do the bigger drops.

Maybe i should put on all my armour and just go as fast as i can and well.....hope :shock:

Lol, thats one way: safety cautious is good though, so buckle up. keep neailing the smaller stuff until you can do it in your sleep, then go back to the bigger one. the worst thing you can do is bail half way, or scrub speed - keep confident.

Its just coz this drop (which is more of a stepdown i guess) has a path running underneath it, so if i was to come up short i'd get bucked off and it wouldnt be plesent for me or my bike.

I think im really gonna work myself up so im doing it on adreneline.

Once i do it once i'll be sorted. (like a rollarcoaster )

conquer your fear go back to the same drop & do it. Its the only way. Dont quit

passout

Just keep riding, it will come back with time.

Thats the problem my friend. You are thinking too much.

You must do and reflect afterwards.

When you do it, you will have thebiggest rush ever and you will actually be a more confident rider......

DO IT!!!!!!!!!
