OK, simple issue:
I’m technically competent without being any kind of superstar and have no problems with steep descents per se, drops (small) no problem but not jumps and I’ve done a couple of skills courses.
If you asked me to I could follow a line marked on the ground no problem.
I don’t have any particular fear of heights though I’m not one to stand on the edge of a cliff for a laugh…..
So why the chuff do I get “the fear” as soon as I have a drop to one (or both) side/s of me ?
I recently had to dismount rather than go over a wooden slat footbridge (in fairness it had no handrails and a 6 foot drop to rocks) that was 3 feet wide and 12 ft long ! I should have been over it in 2 seconds but a combination of slow, rocky and off square entry just put me right off
Typically I tend over compensate and eventually dab on the opposite side but it’s really getting on my wick. I’m sure it’s just a mental thing.
Does anyone have similar issues and if you’ve overcome them how did you do it ?
Does anyone know if Jedi does anything like this on his courses ?
