flipkickbs Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I dont really get scared, it's usually people riding with me that get scared (like clipping bars on post while dropping 6ft) lol, i seem to just get away with everything though so i dont bother worrying too much about stuff now.

desire68 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 This one might seem wimp like guys,but the first time i tried to manual,i badly over rotated and landed on my knees and then my chest whilst still holding the bars lol,now when i try to manual,just as i get to the balancing point my brain replays my first attempt and i just can't seem to get past it.Don't even try them much now and i realy want to get them dialed. I think i need councelling lol! Mike. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 my fear is snapping my chain stays (again) i did it to two mission frames in two weeks and i realy lost all my confidence (and money) replacing them :D even now i check them if hear ANY squeak and clanking noises from my bike but hopefully my new zona will instill my confidence again (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 You cant fear things because if you dont know how much its going to hurt if you dont do it again then your never going to get a balenced opinion of how much it hurt last time! just over ride the fears in your mind force yourself too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMonkey Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Basically..backwheel slipped, fell forward..faceplant..nose breakage You get used to breaking your nose eventually, and then it spurts blood at the slightest knock, such as during sex.

Sam Oliver Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 My worst fear is going over the bars on big drops, after getting my back wheel stuck on a pallet & throwing me off face planting concrete & ending up in intensive care.(fractured skull,eye socket,cheek bone etc) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
