how does anyone else get over fear? i've always got it eating at the back of my head and it never goes away. it sucks because it stops my progression while everyone else is throwing down.

I wait for my fear to go away. And my adrenalen takes over.

If you have fear you will be more likely to screw up. But if your relaxed and have no fear you'll do better

find people who are better than you and ride with them... it'll make you more likely to try crazy shit if they're throwing down

I hate to get psycological, but a lot of overcoming fear has to do with over coming what your mind believes you can do. When we say "fuck it" as recommended, we are saying fuck our mind, and we let our body take over. The body acts 100,000 times faster than the brain does. This is why the sickest things we do sometimes feel surreal, because we aren't really in control, our body is. Furthermore, our bodies are tremendous at immitating others, this is why it helps so much to be around sick birds who are throwing down shit you can't, because once you see them do it, your body knows how to do it. So, suck it up bitch, go watch someone throw a trick, say fuck it, and try and throw the same trick.
sorry i called you a bitch, just trying to help pump you up

Yeah man. You just have to go for it and accept the fact that crashing is part of game. Its the only way. Youll find that you get more and more balls with evry hit.

yea man i ski with a helmet, and if i am doing something that i know i might bail hard on, i put my ipod in a locker...so i am all good...usually i have music playing and i can blank everything else out and can just focus on one thing...saying "fuck it" sometimes doesnt work for me...i go at it hard then and then usually bail hard and end up regretting it in the end...i just black everything out and visualaize what i am doing and how i am going to do it...or ye i might just say fuck it and will just huck it which usually gets the best results..

i agree conmpletely

just gotta pump yourself the fuck up to the point where youre ready to commit, think of the most liekly thing (hurting yourself), and then judge whether or nto you can just say fuck it and do it
