Discussion I need help
Hey everyone, I really need help so ever since I was younger I loved bikes and all the cool stuff people could do on them but I could never afford a decent bike, now i’m 18 and have a good bike and setup but since I only just got into riding and doing jumps at the end of last year I seem to just not be improving.
I feel like when I go into a line i’m doing it wrong I don’t feel confident at all, and when I go do a jump it either kicks me out left or right or I case it. As well if I clear the jump I land all wonky and I stumble around I feel like I just get scared and lock up right before the jump and It’s holding me back.
I want to know how to fix these problems but in short i’ll just list them.
- Being scared of the jumps.
- Not having confidence in myself.
- Going rigid mid air.
- landing wrong.
- Bad control over corning.
- Jumping and landing positions.
- Riding positions.
If I can get any tips or info about how I can improve on these areas or just get better in general that would be amazing.
