This weekend i had some huge crashes back to back. I went out today and was a little gun shy. I wasnt going as fast into the wake and i wasnt straitening my legs as much. anybody else have this happen to them.

only after a big fall, but you cant think of the bad things. just think about doing the trick you bailed un, but visulize yourself sticking it, riding away, and just get your mind off falling.

Oasis137, Honestly, the best thing to do is get into the boat right after a big fall... Let someone else ride for a bit, smoke a cig if thats what you do, drink something, and make a joke about it. Get the spirits back on your side, and get yourself back into the mind set of killing it. Before you go back out for your next ride after your crash, tell everyone to watch how sick you are going to get on the next ride... Tell them to blast the music and just go out there with the mission of getting balls out! If you ride in fear, you will never make it past an intermediate level... The worst fall I have ever had was a sad attempt at a double backroll off of a d-up, and never quite remembered what happened!

make a bet with someone on the boat. Say that you will give the 100 bucks if you dont attempt it. The prospect of losing the cash will spur you on! The whole "no pain no gain" thing relates to w.boarding so much too.
