Fear

Cyanide

Okay, so when I first started skating, I was fearless. I would try anything in my grasp. But 2 years after I started skating, I broke my left arm while trying to kick flip a 3 stair and landing into manual. Now, I'm not all that great with manuals, but I felt I could do it. I did it once, about 1 minute before I broke it. My friend was with me and said it was luck, to try it again. So, I did, and well, that happened.

So anyway, to the point. Nowadays, I'm not willing to do much on my board. Hell, I cant even ollie a 2 step without bailing out. Now, I'm not the type to say okay to pain. The arm breaking, yeah, it hurt...a lot. So I don't want to go back down that road. But, I have been practicing on my carpet, to get a feel of it again, and I can land kick flips, heel flips, ollies, sex-change, ect. But it's moving that troubles me. Right before I'm about to land it, against my will my legs decide to kick out and avoid the board. And it's really annoying.

Anyone else have this problem? And if so (or not) anything, psychologically, that can help me out. I wanna skate with my friend Josh and his buddies again. But I don't wanna go skate a whole day without landing one thing due to fear.

Thanks guys.

Also, my arm got out of it's hellish cast about 2 weeks ago, so...
