The "Just huck it" mentality

In my opinion, in the scootering, there are three types of people. There are the dudes that just go for whatever, just huck themselves at every gnarly set or gap. And there are the pussies, who wont huck themselves at gnarly stuff, and stick to the easy stuff. And then there are the dudes who can huck themselves at stuff, but dont for whatever reason. Just because im curious, post up which one you are.

I, for instance, am total puss. I wont do gnarly shit whatsoever. So, on a side note, I wanted to know if any of you guys with the crazy cajones could give me any tips on getting over fear and just hucking myself at shit? haha

I think I'm between total pussy and dude who can but doesn't. I've done some decent sized fakie jumps and half cabs, but that's more or less it.

id say im between a dude who can but doesnt, and a crazy hucker. i can, have, and have the ability to go bigger and crazier, but i set limits occasionally just for health reasons. obviously i could break a bone on a tailwhip with the right luck...but certain things just test my bitch factor. butttt i have gone big i think, and i have pushed past my comfort level a few times.

lol ryan, i wish i could have been there to laugh. But yeah, i find if i have just had my scoot all fixed up and im really confident in riding that day i'll try anything, i usually make massive improvements in one day, and then it slows for a while and then i have a good day again

I'm sure i could do some stuff.
recently i've tried stuff i thought i never would...
So i'm starting to get bigger, but i don't think i'll ever be able to just huck something..

Im a total puss now, since I wrecked my knee I always think about the worst possible crash whenever I try something, haha. Doing scary stuff was never fun for me anyways, big stairsets for instance, you sit there for half an hour, riding back and forth trying to motivate yourself to do it, then you jump and either wreck yourself or land, but the satisfaction isn't enough to compensate you being scared, haha. I might be flowing my shitty skatepark doing like 7 total tricks I can do over various obstacles for the rest of my life but this is the kind of riding I enjoy. Ride for fun.

I dont think i fit into any of your categories.

If there is a trick i really want to do, I'll do it. Sure backflips and frontflips would be fun to be able to do, but I don't see myself doing them anytime soon just because i don't see them as tricks that i would really really like to be doing.

If I learn a trick I actually want to do, I'll never lose it. I don't learn a bunch of tricks to fill up "new tricks woo" thread and then never do them again haha. Even when i first started riding I saw videos and I'm like damn fingerwhips are fucking gnarly, so are them 360 whips. And now my riding is pretty much based off those haha.

so yeah, too mcuh typing, not worth it. lol

I'm a total pussy to try anything, unless someone cool that we are riding with pressures me too.
When i ride i don't do anything either i just ride around, i only try new things once in awhile.
But anyways i'm going to start trying harder things and riding almost every night for 2 hours and try a new thing and get it dailed.

Exactly me. Just to keep it fun and not destroying myself.
Sometimes when i'm in mood, i seem to suprise my buddies when i go huck something new unseen.
