THIS IS HOW I REBUILD MY CONFIDENCE ON MY MTB!

Just recently I have been struggling with my confidence on my bike. Everything seems really scary again and even jumps and trails that I have ridden before seem intimidating. This seems to happen to me quite a lot in the winter. So I decided to take the pressure off myself as I always set expectations that I should be able to ride certain things and when I can't I feel like I have failed. I took it back to the beginning and rode the less scary jumps which I am familiar with to try and slowly rebuild my confidence. Once I felt good again and remembered the basics I tried to challenge myself by riding one to the scarier jumps and I overcame all the fear and lack of confidence and left on a high again!
I hope you enjoy this video!

like any sport or activity, you'll have offdays for no real reason and you'll have amazing days. If youve comfortably done it before just try to not overthink it and send ittttt

[@PVVI2015]

Thank you for your openness about being scared and about working on confidence! I always watch your videos and I always learn something useful! 😊

[@bloodmasta1]

Kara you’re absolutely smashing it!!

[@markmoss1035]

I know what you mean. I have just started doing gap jumps, and I find your videos, an inspiration. I feel that my skill set is just a little bit behind yours. Which I find most useful. Thanks. 👍👍

[@Cartsp70]

That’s the most annoying part of any bike park: you try and gain some confidence and practice and there’s like 15 riders just standing around watching 👀, I feel like saying “ don’t watch me go ride your bike “ it’s so jarring 😡 Well done Kara you definitely getting better 👍🏾

[@michaelhayne2019]

That's the way Kara, that was awesome. Best line, "Oh finally I can actually ride a bike, ooh God I can't walk though." 😊 Tom's right you had your victory, keep up the great work.
