Rebuilding confidence...

I busted open my lip, 3 stitches, a whole lot of pain, 24 hours later, and im still really freaked out about my fall...

i was on a trampoline yesterday, trying some tricks i had only just done the day before (mistys and bios pretty much, and lincolns), but that i had had no trouble with, except the occasional false bounce and a fall off the trampoline... but so i decided to do a higher lincoln than the day before... so i tried about 5 times, but i kept just barely landing on the tramp, because i was meaning too far forward, not enought to the side, so i was going at a 45 degree angle to the other side... so i try on the 6th one to lean more to the side, i launch, and when i come around, i it the metal bar that hold the springs with my feet, my head collides with my knee, my lip is turned to hamburger...

im sewed up ok, though 2 stitches have popped out, but im wondering, how can you get the confidence to try again? i landed the lincolns no problem, and then i fell 5 times and hurt my self the next day...

how can you bounce back (nice pun) and do them again?

any tips would be nice..

That sucks, that must've hurt. Try visualizing your tricks in your head first, and focusing more, not just jumping by trial and error.

you just gotta clear all of the negative thoughts out of your head and keep going at it, sometimes you will still fall but you'll fall all the time if you keep thinking about it.

you just have to cxoncentrate more and tell yourself that if you dont land it your going to get hurt...this should help you to do it better

the rpoblem is not so much not landing it, its more: "well, you screwed up big time last time, you're gonna do it again..."

listen to music, get your adrenaline flowing and than go for it.. make sure your focusing on bouncing straight up too...

i split my lip like a 1/2inch open trying to back flip from the frame onto the tramp. jumped straight up and came down head first through the springs and I'll tell you what i'll never do that again but i still jump on tramps

just start bouncin again for a while and get real calmm with the air and bouncing n stuff and start throwing stuff that youre real comfortable with and can land and get comfortable and then just dont even think about it and start doing the lincoln loops again
the more you do it the easier it is to be confident so just keep doing stuff

smartest answer

nothing better than visualizing your trick then just throwing it




Yea. I said it.

start with smaller tricks and doing high bounces with no tricks to get your confidence back then focuse when your doing tricks
