How do you conquer the fear of tricking?

[Blabla]

I'm 14 and i want to take up tricking, i'm usually willing to give anything a go, but in this case, i get too scared and think of the worst that could happen. I learnt sideflip in gym, but im too scared to do it on ground.. please help

[Blabla]

Oh and no i can't do a sideflip fluently, and my parents wont let me go to gym, so i need to start learning on ground..

[Rob]

Perhaps you should search for one of the 1000 other threads on fear that have been made in the past month.

Edit: you just have to do it, there's not really anything anyone can tell you.

[Blabla]

so, try and think about the best that can happen, and not the worst?

oh and, when doing a sideflip, do u tilt ur head or do u just jump striaght up then tuck

[tricker383]

Okay out off all the flips in the world why pick a sideflip.
The side flip in my world is just a half attempt at a front flip or front 180.

Look if you want to trick you cant just ask for loads of information from us when we have seen no commitment. To trick go learn the 5 basics or at least get some kicks in your belt before you ask questions like this.
Look im 16 i just just go find some sand or some soft grass problem solved

and im warning you if you make a fear about the backflip il personally pay a mod to ban your ass

Here is a list of threads that are exactly the same as this, and I found by searching the word fear. Here is a taste from just the first 4 pages alone.

Surprise fucking surprise??

[Scooba Dave]

birch is still trying to learn the backflip, he knows all those threads off hand :D

but foreal, get a camera, record your attempts, send in, we help.

[Birch]

You didnt read the part where he wont do it because hes afraid?

[Skippy]

I found learning good pre-requisites helped. The idea of doing aerials used to scare me until I got a wicked fast one arm cartwheel, 540s even scared me in my mind landing on the kicking leg until I got wicked tornados haha.

[Ewasiuk]

The only fear of backflips I have is because I haven't done any in a long fucking time haha.

[del]

jesus, its leaked into this sub forum? :dead::

[mchitti]

I conquered fear with my mate and my bed mat, in the end it just came down to not "feeling" ready to do it, but just forcing yourself to do it, if my mate hadn't ever offered to spot me with out me asking, I would assume I would still be waiting to feel ready, which I doubt would ever happen.

lol, this could be taken in such a wrong way, lol.

[Nielso]

Haha yes also the 'not feeling ready part', like he did it on purpose:tongue:

[Mr.Parafuso]

dude! What happened to your eye in that picture :O or are you winking...if thats the case *winks back* And lol, thats what it seems like

[mchitti]

hahahaha how did I miss that, anyway, I landed a backflip the first time with just spotting, then I lost it, then I used a mattress. But seriously, sick minds you have TT!

[Mr.Parafuso]

lol, i knew what you meant:P Gawsh..how did I learn a backflip:S...I just learnt them on the trampoline, then down hills then eventually on the ground. I trick mostly by myself so I'm all tough with no spotters:)

[Nielso]

dude! What happened to your eye in that picture :O or are you winking...if thats the case *winks back* And lol, thats what it seems like

haha well I wouldn't call it winking, or maybe winking in a very fucked up way!:tongue:

[Nielso]

Well after posting a lot in this thread I think it would be reasonable to contribute to it as well. I am a tricker who has problems with fear as well. What helps for me is getting confidence from drilling kicks, and than as a sideline work on the basics for flips (cartwheel, fronthandspring etc.) and than some things that looked scary will be less scary.

[JimmY41]

Do it or just quit...

[Blabla]

yeah and die like 20 times in the process? lol..

how did u guys conquer the fear..? :O

[JimmY41]

I just did it....I am like a month in this forum and have seen 10 threads like this...

Just do it...and then i mean find some sand and build it up to gras or w/e...

HAVE YOU UNDERSTOOD YET

[Blabla]

YESSSSS OK LOL.. when i go sand on the weekend.. I'LL FUCKIN DO IT..

seriously! i dont care if i die

IM GONNA DO IT :@:@:@

[Blabla]

k couple more things i wanted to ask:

- will sideflipping from a 120cm plane above ground help?

- do i jump UP, or UP then turn to the side?

- if i jump UP and have a tight tuck, is there a chance landing on my head?

i dont wanna fuckin die a virgin man, and its my bday tomorrow :):)

[del]

theres always a chance that you'll land on your head...get the fuck over it and like everyone else said...JUST DO IT

[mchitti]

I have landed on my head on the grass during a backflip trick before, barely felt it, if you fall on your head in the sand you will most likely be fine.

[jmsdg7]

i agree, ive landed on me head like 3 times from backflips, one was from trying a bhs after i got the backflip, but the worst was when i was stupid and did a really fast running roundoff backflip on wet grass and my feet slipped and i landed on my head but its ok

ive given myself whiplash like two times but landing on your head isnt that bad unless you land at a 135 degree angle on the back of yourhead but if you rotate more than that youll be fine youll just have a huge bump on your head for a while:ouch:

i probably didnt help much:juji:

[jmsdg7]

Ps. dont be stupid and you will be fine!!!!!!!!

[TricksterBee]

By growing a pair of balls

[Urahara]

use a fake death pill, once he get close, revive, use a stun gernade, and blast away at him with a automatic weapon, it will depleate his stamina

this way you can get his camo with little to no difficulty

[Blabla]

umm.. what do i do with my arms when sideflipping ol

[tricker383]

if you cant do it just stop tricking as you fail at life

[Peleke]

If you're scared of flips drill other shit until you've developed sufficient control over your body to make it do what you tell it to.

Then come back to it.

[Urahara]

STUN GRENADES

[Blabla]

You didnt read the part where he wont do it because hes afraid? you are ugly

[Theme]

well... once you get over the fear of tricking post videos of your crashes/landings and ask for help ^^ (DO NOT EVEN MENTION THE FEAR OF A BACKFLIP!)

[lak89]

pretty much just tell yourself that you only live once, if you wanna try something cool and new, now is the time

[mchitti]

you are ugly

are you calling the prime minister ugly?
