I started tricking late last month (May 23rd) and so far I've learned webster, front flip, backflip, cartwheel (+ variations), front and back handspring, tornado kick, 540 kick, other basic kicks, loser, j-step gainer flash and moonkick all on grass.
But I have this strange fear problem with flip tricks.
If I'm on my own, for instance now, at home and I go out to trick I feel like I haven't ever landed a flip trick and have so much fear, I think the fear is even more than what it was before I could do them, I'm just too scared to do _any_ flip trick, in fact, I was too scared to forward handspring. (it's not that I can't land it, it's that I'm too scared to try it)
However, if I got out with a group of friends and we do some tricking I am fine and the fear just isn't there..
I really don't know why this is happening and it's quite annoying since I'd like to practice without being around other trickers..
I haven't bailed on any of the flip tricks or seriously injured my self doing any.
Has this happened to you? If so, what did you do to get over the fear?
I'm thinking maybe just drill the flip tricks over and over when I'm with my friends?
Thanks
