Does any specific feature just scare you?

Give me urban, cliffs, chutes, kinks, transfer gaps, etc and I'll do what needs to be done. But for some reason, Rainbow rails just freak me out. I sit and ponder hitting them while people make laps around me before I finally man up and hit them... only to find out that they're fine and really not bad. Yet, come a new rainbow and I'll go through the same system of anxiety again. Nothing else, just f-ing rainbows. wtf?

i hate jumps with a small kicker on one side and a big kicker on the other, both to the same landing. on the other. i dunno why. it just trips me the fuck out. im scared someone is gonna come outta nowhere and like spin into me or some shit.

also, ride on rails. they scare the shit out of me. im not even kidding. i hate riding through the mini park at my mountain because everything is ride on. i cant explain it, but for some reason just having the rail right there fucks with me. i like to pop onto rails, and i hate popping and then going up and then coming back down on the rail. i like popping up and having the rail there when i get up there. ride ons dont let that happen.

Big step downs b/c I cannot see the where exactly the knuckle is until I'm in the air. ESP. When the background is a parking lot like at 7springs, looks like you are jumping into an abyss of concrete and cars 200 yds away

I can't prove it, but it was the only jump I could get speed for to try it. I didn't land btw I knuckled(the irony) and fell.

Steep up rails, one time I was gonna hit it but a snowboarder decided to try and hit it with no speed and kinda stopped and fell off. I had dropped most of my speed but hit it anyway and never really made it up, fell off and nearly nutted myself.

Any tall rails really, I'm so short that I can nut myself on most rails.

its a good thing you weren't at the RodeoFest last weekend, there was a pretty sketchy one, it was pretty high too and had no landing, just a hole.

that being said, im scared of anything featured in the last edition of the RodeoFest, excluding the down-flat rail.

Corregated tubes. Fucked myself sooo bad on one. Side ups to steep down tube, and I caught my edge, bounced on the tube, and landed straight on my back like 15ft down on ice. Sucked super bad.
