hey, whats up, i'm new to FR/DH riding & so far im really lovin it (i just need to get a FS bike) but there's one problem that i have... call me a sissy if you want, but i have the fear of heights:scared:
everytime i go to make a jump i get scared & either abort or freak out & let my front tire slam into the ground- usually ending up in some soil sampling.
how do i get over it & make the jump? also how do i control the front end of the bike? it seems to plow down into the ground each time.
i think one of my problems is that i dont carry enough speed because i get scared of gettin hurt, another problem is the bike is to big for me (19in, i should be on a 16), my posture is probably incorrect too, due to the fact that i have a hardtail so i stand on the pedals & keep my weight forward
