I always tell myself that fear is a factor of progression and that if I don’t get out of my comfort zone then I’m never gonna progress

Sometimes you just gotta go for it. You may be nervous. You may even have Elvis legs, but the longer you wait, the worse the anticipation will get. Just send it (within reason) and let your body react.

Falling is never as bad as it looks.

The more you send it, the better you get at falling without getting hurt. Just dont try to send a dub when you have no fucking clue what you're doing. As for getting the balls, dont spend too much time waiting around before doing it other than maybe visualizing it right before dropping or on the lift, and try not to think about it. Commit before you even drop.

Have a friend film you if that helps. Listen to music before you go for it that gets you hyped up to send it. At the end of the day you just have to grab your balls and go for it, it will never be as bad or as scary as you think it will be.

The first try doing something always seems scary. Just send it and you will feel less scared on try 2.

Just have someone film you so even if you do crash you'll get a good clip plus it'll motivate you to stomp it

This is a very interesting and unique thread topic that I have never encountered or put introspective thought into during my long stint on Newschoolers.com. I would ask other members please refrain from posting until they have deeply considered this non-trivial question. Searching through the forums would be unnecessary as this topic has never been discussed before on this website. We, as a community, have finally found a truly unique question that is worth discussing where newschoolers have never touched on before.

Just get super hammered, and you won't be scared to try shit.
Nah don't actually do that, but I kinda just keep telling myself I'm a pussy for not doing it and I get mad at myself and then do it. As dumb as it sounds, it kinda works for me.
