lankyri Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 i had a great session ay my local trading estate last night and i overcome my fear of drops, this may sound stupid but im 6.5ft and scared of heights specially when im on the back wheel but last night i did my biggest drop of 6ft so i can say that my fear of heights has reduced in amount whats your fear in trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummond Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 i used to scare myself a lot in trials, but then I realised that fear was actually the thing that made me fall - if you're tense and 'in a zone' you cant calculate what you're doing and even worse you cant remember doing it so you cant learn - thats how its worked for me anyway. Now when I ride I can remember everything i do and its always calculated, even with big drops just try forgeting about the drop and concentrating on technique - when you know you have the technique the fear dissapears.........

mr ailsbury Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I dont mind drops at all really, the only problem with them is I worry whether i'm going to snap my frame or not lol my only fear is gapping to rails because I have had some painful experiences falling off rails and i worry about the fact i might miss the landing nd twat myself in again lol :sleeping: ToM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scared of everything now though, after completely rincing my knee and not being able to ride for the last 3 months I'm on the verge of quitting :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Margaret Thatcher had no balls at all. Yeah she does and we all know it. I wouldn't say i'm scared of anything really, it's just lack of confidence. Like then your about to do a drop and you just can't, it's not becuase your scared, it's just your brain saying to your body. "You not dropping off that on your bike, quick pull back." So, no i wouldn't really call it fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beigemaster Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'm scared of drunk women who are over 6 foot, but in trials its mainly bike failure eg hub chain or brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
