manxrider Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hi,after 6 months of riding I think I have the basics down(ish) but I'm still to scared to go bigger, I know I could do most of the things I want to but I'm just to scared. What i want to do is a little drop gap and I mean like this: I've done something similar but not that high off the ground. Has any one got any tips on gaining confidence quickly , Sorry if this is a stupid question, manxrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Nice diagram (Y) Yeh that stuff is hard for everyone, just the 'what if..' situation. The only real way is to find yourself a flat bit of ground like normal, with the same distance marked using a stick or soemthing, and just do that a few times so you convince yourself that you CAN make the gap. Then it's just a case of going to the gap and doing it... You'll probably find that you found it easy and wonder what you were worrying about! Good luck (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 THink possitive and stop caring about your well being. ← Thinking posotive is good, but you should still care about your well being. After all if you look big and hard doing massive high gaps. If and when you fall, your not going to be riding for 6 weeks becuase you can bend your leg where it didn't use to bend befor. I prefer to go further closer to the ground, curb hight is preferable. (Y) There's no point going for it if you can't do it and belive you can't do it. You must know that you can do the gaps distence. And you must know your going to do it. When people back out of things, thats when they get hut. So you must know your going to do it.
