Push your limits just a little bit at a time. Each time you go out set out to try 1 new thing.
Completely understand where you are coming from. Am going through similar feelings throughout my current progression. Small steps into the fear factor are the way to go. Break your goal down into smallest steps possible, then attempt each small step chronologically. It is easier to dissolve the fear factor in small increments.
Your self esteem will go through the roof!
Pick a rider at your local spot just above your current level, make it your task to learn their tricks and get better than them, then pick a better new rider and do the same thing.
Untill your worlds best. Pitty Zoon doesn't ride at shearwater
It helps get over fears quickly if they can do it you can too. And the competition is good especially when your chosen rider learns something new

Sorry but what do you mean with small steps??
break up the trick?
or try easier tricks first?
Also yes i will try that to pick a rider i will go with a buddy we strted to do unhooked tricks at the same time but he went over me past like a couple weeks because of my stupid fear ![]()
It may be soft but I still seem to get smashed. When I learnt a simple front roll I used to come home with black and blue thighs

Exactly! Break up the 'trick' into small portions. Most tricks begin with the basic 'pop'. Become proficient at mastering the foundations of a good 'pop'. Work on getting your landings spot on. As your skill level increases you will naturally begin to challenge yourself into constant progression. Respect your own fear, it will keep you from progressing faster than what you are capable of learning.
and come on guys get some cement in ya! for the most part, with the exception of a very few other incidents, you will just get winded or get a bit of a headache from crashing...
as long as you go to the gym etc and keep fit and strong you shouldn't get any serious injuries
