Dan6061 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 You gain confidence with experiance.I've dropped off around 7ft to concrete, and that was just silly. Once you've been riding for a long time, you'll look back at the things you were scared off and just laugh to yourself.I look at things now and think they've shrunk!

0zzy Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 it came with me naturally i dont no why, but as soon as i was pedal kicking i went from a curb to a four foot ledge in a day. Then from that about a week later doing 6 foot ledges, then i decided i didnt like big stuff, now i prefer technically spiny street, or natrual ! hope that some how that made scence and helped you in a way.

Ladd Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Drops i dont really do much more when i just started trials i was like yehh i can do a 6ft drop now i just dont care about drops i get bored off them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Read my sig But yea Im by no means ballsy but it does just come, I mean by no means am i dropping off anything high but I now go off stuff without even thinking that a while ago i woulda had to have a couple of goes at dropping off.But I mean it will always be scary going off somthing bigger chances are if you are finding it really hard to bring yourself to do somthing your not ready for it. Go do somthing a little smaller and build up to it. But getting over that initial fear and doing it is what fuels the adrenaline which is one of the greatest things about riding the natural high you get.However in my opinion drops get to a point then become silly, as they just become dangerous.

Skoze Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 BIG drops (6-7+ foot) are scary and break your bike, but if you really want to do them, don't think about it, jump off it before you get the chance to weigh up the pro's and con's and what may go wrong, It will all come naturally with practice!

ilikeriding Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) When you ride on higher walls all the time you don't think twice bout dropping off 4ft, dont go dropping high unless your comfortable with it. Biggest ive done i 9, just getting it smooth is the problem. Edited January 3, 2008 by jebend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 BIG drops (6-7+ foot) are scary and break your bike, but if you really want to do them, don't think about it, jump off it before you get the chance to weigh up the pro's and con's and what may go wrong, It will all come naturally with practice!6+7 foot drops i can casually drop off without thinking. Anything above that i have to think about.Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
