try other stuff, such as backflips

[anerky]

try to understand why you failed

[THIO]

if fear is the problem then you have to overcome that yourself. but yeah like anerky said try to understand why you failed then next time you do it, try to correct yourself.

Having a spotter helps a lot too.

[GSimp]

Use a spotter, or learn backhandspring. That will get rid of the fear, usually.

[saunders]

get motivated, when i'm full of adrenaline it reduces the fear

I always think about how happy I will be for attempting a move. If im a coward, I always walk home from the session, and im very unhappy and not pleased with myself. Think about that one day, you simply have to take the jump, and just throw it, so why not doing it now? even with a spotter, there's still a wall to break of fear when learning the backflip. Hope you get my point! btw I have landed clean on my neck a few times, it doesn't heart that much, you're just a bit sore the days after.. Go do it!

[Tony2105]

well thx for couple of tips guys, hope i get this move soon

Mah fucking backflips.
The fear is eating me alive.. I cant even do them on tramp : (

[the padwan]

Its weird, I can do them with a spotter, then do them with the spotter standing there doing nothing but I still have the fear. I will get over it eventually, so at the moment i'm workin on tricks like b-twist's and some kicks.

Fear is the result of inadequate relaxation.

I was getting backflips down, then one time, at the end of a session, something went really wrong and I ended up with $700 in dental bills, lost 10lbs, and couldn't bite food with my any of my front teeth for 1 month; I couldn't eat something like say a sub, for 4 months, and overall, life was shitty.

I'd gladly exchange a few scratches and bumps for expensive dental surgery and a lot of pain and suffering.

:juji:

[kamikaze!]

Shit Crazy Max, i was planning to try backflip now in the gym.
This had just strenghtened my fear :I

[saunders]

don't try backtucks, you will crash on your neck and die a horribly painful death

[kamikaze!]

I know, thats why i gotta at least try! ;)
Im coming to Netherlands to spank your ass

[iEatRAW]

Do it like a suicidal islam kid would do it. Imagine that same kid bailing it at the last second out of fear and getting shot without exploding, hahaha.

[DraKe]

Try a eatraw-flip.. They're really cool ;)

[iEatRAW]

yeah what are they like...

[mr.FeaR]

try just trying the back tucks without going around, but make sure u no the proper technique. act like your going to back tuck and tuck but dont go around and just land on ur back but land on something soft so u get used to the falling and when ur about rdy do it. 1st time around it shuld look ugly then get better....... that helped me get it and also gainer

[_Moron_]

start doing your backflips on concrete if you cant get em anywhere else if that does not work and you make it out alive try backflipping into some nails laid onto there backs point up.

[taichichuan]

hmm other good advice i got.. Just be patient. if your scared dont do em, YET!!. Take it easy, get other basics down first. Then when its your last trick for the basics, youll want it down so bad and you go for it.. Also spotter is t3h s3x.
Just wait will you really want it.

[Tony2105]

well i have most of the basics down exept for the backflip,
i can aerial, Btwist, Double legg,
540 i almost have it just have to get my leg more straight,
but like its like the only thing left cause i really Really REALLY want a backflip
since its a prerequisate (or how ever u write that word) for alot of cool moves

[taichichuan]

if that is truly the case then you should be able to get it tomoz tbh... All it takes is a little determination. Fear is something that never really goes away. You just comfortable with it. Like walking into street fights. I dont know about anyone else. But im scared, just comfortable. A little bit off topic here but same principle:D:D. Just go for it, fuck it, get a spotter hell flip you over then do t yourself. There is no way of "getting rid of fear" its just dealing with it. Hopes this helps.. and btw whats with everyone sig:p I want one:D

[Tony2105]

hehe true tai, well monday im gona go to the gym, and this time its only backflips, hope i get something anyway lol
thx everyone for the support :D

[taichichuan]

Keep me posted on how i goes:) Good luck and nail that son of a bitch:D

[Sephy]

I'd say, almost visualise yourself doing one. For me personally i just think of all the possible things that could go wrong and then i just think "screw it"... may not work for you in which case sorry, but it does for me, cause I feel an adrenaline rush to do one.
Anyways good luck overcoming the fear!
