Yes, as with anything, practice is key. It'll make boarding more natural. as walking. I'm not a boarder, but you're only afraid when there's no confidence. As darthrule stated, start on the smaller somewhat easier things, and move up. In Cali I saw boarders on their boards ALL the time! Like ALL THE TIME. as if it was just part of them. No where else in this world have I seen that before or since. I chalked it up to the Cali culture but it also seems that it makes them more comfortable with it. I'm comfortable with my own body so I'm not afraid to actually jump of the rails and run down when I want to be funny. Once you make the board part of yourself I feel that you would get the same confidence and more.
You MUST get past fear that stops you. You will always be nervous but if you can't get past it, then you can't focus on the task at hand. Not good for that profession, I assume
Is it normal that I am scared to advance my skateboarding career?
