This. Try to roll over stuff with more flow rather than doing it in little hops.
i do tend to do loads of little hops when im on top of stuff.

Here's some advice that was giving to me long ago. I have followed it ever since and it works a treat.
Man up.
martin gives me this advice every time we ride but i also give it back just as much

Actually, you ridden with that try all sticky on the back?
You might find because your bike feels heavy and sluggish, your putting more effort in to doing anything.
A good set-up will feel light and nimble, like mine (when it isnt broke )
it does take more effort 2 ride than your bike but at least mines working atm

im no doc but if its only just started happening id keep a close eye on it but a quick look at your profile says to me a little too much partying the night before might be a good guess lol
i havent had a propper drink since my birthday in march iv cut down by a lot because the best rides are on a weekend and i cant ride hungover

go to the gym sounds like a strength issue
i play with weights at home every few days and if im not at home im out riding hard, so my strength isnt bad. im looking for a job atm but when i get one i think gym will be an option

A healthy diet and regular sleep pattern is a start
theres nothing wrong with my sleep pattern..... i sleep when im tired and wake up when something wakes me up

hey.
is it just me or does anybody else struggle to keep energy whilst doing a line that takes abouts 45 seconds to complete?
i can do the lines i just lose energy and my riding becomes more sloppy towards the end.

I'd get some proper goggles for what they cost (cheaper than new eyes), the Moto x goggles have loads more vents in so they let more shit in.
but
They're better than no goggles, its amazing how much a grain of sand sized speck of hot metal hurts
the vents on mine have a thin layer of foam over them but yeah i might pick some up soon as i have a DIY shop 5 minutes from home .
yess the worst bits when your eye starts watering and you can get the metal out :L

i used to have a t-bird with avid v-brakes on it and they worked a treat for me, then i had a limey 2 with a xtr on the front. if xtr's are set up right with good pads then they are wicked brakes hope this helps you
-
always wear safety goggles, i got a bit of slag (hot metal) in my eye and it canes! you never think its gonna happen to you but it will eventually trust me.
i know the feeling... painfull business. :/ i dont have propper safety goggles so i settle for my trusty moto-x goggles

Half own it :L
same thing... at least my bikes ridable

i find anger helps . i was getting teasy because i could sidehop up a wall earlier and i took my frustration out on the side hop and almost got it. i got up there but couldnt hold my balance and jumped off.

im riding a bird and with the just the frame, bottom bracket, cranks, freewheel and pedals its about 5-6kg so id guess roughly around 2kg. theyre not the lightest frames around but mine seems to be doing well .

iv been riding in vans for the last few months and theyve been on downhill bikes and trials and iv not slipped off the pedals once. i find that vans have a soft sole inside aswell which provides comfort and padding. with other shoes iv found that the pins on the pedals shred the bottoms of my shoes but iv not had this problem with vans. number 1 shoe in my opinion.

im not sure what sort of green ur spraying but if you want it to be bright then i reccomend a white primer as your base coat, as the green will show up better on a brighter base coat. and if u want it shiney i sugest 3 coats of clear lacquer. i was given these tips when i sprayed my old mountain bike and i was very pleased with my result.

cheer's guys.
