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?

Over 40 everything hurts more so everything scares me.  That's kind of what makes it fun.  Natural wood rails would probably be the worst for me.  It just seems like, even if you get on them right, you still have about a 70 percent chance of wrecking yourself.

The rail jam I was at today was full of 2 and 4 disasters onto a dfd. There was seriously no lip onto it either it was setup street style or whatever.

I hate dfd's that aren't urban on.

and everyone needs to learn how to hit corrugated pipes cuz it's like a giant leg massage every time I hit one. oh and the leg shaking also warms up my feet/legs/toes.

Shit, sounds painful.  At least you didn't land on it.  It's the ones where your edges dig in right when you land that are brutal.  Kind of like Gallant's Death on a log.

I'm sketched out by really poppy jumps and rails tall enough to nut myself on. Jumps because I broke a ski overshooting one when I was 11 or 12, rails because I have nuts. I'm down for big mountain, though

I HATE really poppy jumps. And I really wish I lived out west, because BC and big mountain seem like so much more fun than the goddamn park, and from my experience, they are.

Woof features. Fuck those, especially wooden things you're supposed to grind. Taps on wood things are ok i guess.
