Getting hyped up

[three-sixty]

I was going to do a jump bigger than I've ever done today but decided not to at the last minute. All the people there said i could do it easy but i just didnt have the confidence. Does anyone know any good ways of hyping yourself up and building confidence to do big jumps?

Emotional storys? I mean more practical ways.

just put on all ur pads and simply do what you always do on the jumps, just go into the jump and dont puss out, when im every afraid to do massive jumps i just go into it and see what happens and hope i dont f*ck it up.

Take your tampon out, and take it like a man.

Down a couple of beers.

[wiggy69]

Just listen to a song that usualy pumps u up before u hit the jump or what ever your gonna do

[nick89_]

Start off by searching on here how to build your confidence. It will just say, build up to it slowly, wear your protective stuff, focus, etc etc.

holy crap will you just stop posting such bullshit posts? poor little kids probably been crapping his pants at this massive double all day with people jeering him, he doesnt need you calling him a pussy.

threesixty - just hit it. i know that doesnt sound constructive, but its the only way you'll get to do it. chances are you're capable of it, and if you're not, whats the worst you can do? case it... you're not going to damage yourself if you keep the rubber side down.

Why me leitch?
I said i was kidding, and I, too am alwayes in this position.
I feel for this ki, and have given him some useful advice.

[leitch]

Why me leitch?because the past 122 posts i have read of yours have been rediculous, and im in a shit mood

[urbanrider]

your life maybe?

man that was just so pointless, everything you do in life there may be a possibilty of death...even walking up the stairs..going to bed....

I don't know what noob world you are in, but here on earth people don't die by hitting small dirt jumps.

Go for it man, this guy is a fool, you won't die.

[NH_]

okay when some guy does a horrible face plant off a double and snaps his neck in turn killing himself then we'll see that you can kill yourself on small doubles.

try to find a table about the same size and never let anyoen force you into doing something theres nothing like a tool who only does stuff because he givs into pressure from other people

i didnt mean death is anywhere near likely but you saying the only thing you can lose is blood is a horrible mistake it sounds liek you are forcing him to do it, otherwise he shall be a "pussy"

RED BULL!
Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of red bull!

can you give me a demo? :p

man, we should stop talking about death, this guy wants confidence, not a list of bad things that can happen.

sit at the run up to the jump and imagine urself jumping it perfect about 100 times. roll in put in a pedal and make sure ur not shaking or any of that shit. if ur calm everything will work out. make sure u dont blank jump *blankjump-my little saying for the first time u normally hit shit and blackout halfway and lose control*. normally panicing or bailing ends up being worse than just keeping cool and jumping it.

[meatlovers]

Depending on wat kind of jump it is, maybe you could just roll over it, then build up speed and up goes your confidence:D

[extreme_ride]

firstly watch riding vids of people hitting up really big stuff then just go there and try not to think to much about the jump becasue you might phyce(how do you spell that) yourself out and then just hit it, works most of the time for me:D

remove any brakes you have, and your shoes too so you cant stop once you're rolling. works everytime (in theory, not practice)

but really, just wait until youre confident. think about how much it's gonna suck if you dont hit it, cos youll regret pussying out. hit it.

when i wanted to jump something at my school recently i was very confident, i tried it and stacked it. Tried again, stacked it even worse. so when i tried it again after school i was very reluctent. All my mates were telling me to do it and eentually i just went for it. And after a couple more staks i got it. After that i had alot more confidence and now i only normally take 2 or 3 goes to try something new!

so my advide through all that

JUST GO FOR IT

[division_4]

IPODS!! music gets me pretty pumped..might work for u too..

[gr33ky]

bring some friends along, hopefully one of them will be better than you or try it first, then they'll call you a pussy, and smack you on the head, that should get you psyched up to show them u can do it! red bull also helps :D
if you dont do it, you'll be on your way home and be like, omg why didn't i do it, and then u'll be the one smaking yourself over the head.. ( or is that jus me )

[ThisBeastsOnFire]

i watch a good movie like NWD5 and then go riding it always makes me feel pumped to hit somthing big and try to style it like gracia or vanderham or berrecloth

[RevellBikes]

this was a quote from some one on this site, ride so freaking fast you couldnt stop even if you wonted to:)

[JeffL]

the best way to hit a jump is to not think at all...just turn off your brain
and if you do think, it should be of you doin the jump as smooth and stylish as possible

[Sam Gardner]

just huck yourself and hope for the best

[bmx]

listen to some hardcore:D

[PAGEY#404]

Serious, just listen to some Slipknot or anything heavy and dont think its a big jump and just go for it.:) :) Just pin it at the up ramp :) :)

[AN AUSSIE]

mdma ahahah, music is a pretty good, but fear is a better motivator....
