so today I was having a hard time getting my self to do a bar off this ledge & I just couldn't get myself to throw the bars. but then I kinda like narrated myself like I would tell myself out loud "hop...throw bars" & it actually helped me get over the fear of not throwing them. Im wondering if this is weird but then I also call myself a pussy & a bitch when I don't try something but I know a lot of people do that

I actually do that sometimes with barspins. I do it with whips now that I finally learned them, if my foot doesn't wanna get on the pedal. The whip in my picture I couldn't get my damn foot to get on the pedal so I was like "You stupid fucking foot, catch the pedal!" and it did haha

Whatever works haha. I find the barspin thing does help, I hate throwing bars but when I do what you do and say out loud something like "hop and sling, hop and sling!" it really does help for some reason

Who cares if you do that? If it works I say do it. It's not crazy, it's a confidence builder. You're just coaching yourself

I get mad if I don't do something I've already done so I have to do it because I know I've done it even though I can't. Is that weird?

no that isn't weird but some people watching may think so hahaha but i used to click my fingers when i was doing manuals which would help me and if i was talking to a friend while riding i would always be able to learn tricks faster and land them better. example of this is when i was trying to learn nose manuals and my friend was riding beside my i would chat to him and it would keep me calmer or something
