Happens to me from time to time.
Earlier today because I tried to wallride across a gap and couldn't.. My wallrides have gotten so bad since it's been cold and I've probably done like 5 wallrides tops since November. I was getting pissed cause I've done it before but I was sucking so bad. I just stopped though before I got super pissed though haha.

Shit that happened to me yesterday too. I went riding after school and kept fucking up. I throw shit all the time, even though I know I shouldn't. I have anger issues.

I threw the shit out of my bike when I broke my ankle. It felt good. I might give it a little ghost ride or let it drop from time to time when I get frustrated. It helps a lot.
Don't feel bad. In this time of political correctness, anti-bullying, emotion control faggotry (shit. can't even say that anymore), a little emo-rage temper tantrum goes a long way toward curing the rampant vaginitis that has infected most of the world.

lol !!!!!
op just take it easy dude. It's a fun hobby/sport, not a job.
It's not like you will get fired for not landing some tricks lol some days you will be off, and on those days it helps to have a back up hobby. lol On the days that I am sucking on the bmx I go find some video games or movies to watch, or play an instrument and try riding the day after.
Throwing your equipment is just senseless... Now that your helmet is cracked, maybe you will land tricks? lol
I will admit throwing the bike feels good at first.... until you crack or break something, then you may just feel like an ass with a broken bike, in which I am sure you probably feel this way about your helmet that you paid. Keep in mind, for which the helmet only wanted to protect your dome from getting wrecked, but instead you wrecked its dome...

I can honestly say I have thrown my bike one time ever. It was caught on video. Hilarious. It was like 11-12 years ago.
I feel stupid every time I see it.

Trying the same thing about 400 times and not getting it. Got to me that day.
It was a crank arm stall on the coping of a quarter to 180 to manual to 180, and the last 180 kept not working out. GOD that one pissed me off.

Damn man! sounds like a fun little line you were trying out I can see why that would be frustrating not hitting that last 180 after ALL the other bad ass tricks you did in between lol. I like how you admitted to trying it about 400 times, it shows how much patience dedication and persistence it takes to learn a trick. Thanks for sharing man!

I never throw my shit, beacause I look after my stuff. Doesn't matter what it is, I paid money for it, and I'll be fucked if i'm paying more if it gets wrecked

This.
My bike is expensive, and I cannot justify having to spend like 60 bucks on bars because I was stupid and threw it. To me that is senseless.
Now if I was trying something and dumped hard and a part bent or broke, that's different. If I just got butthurt about not landing a trick and threw it, I would feel extra stupid.

Had one. Do I've changed four flats in two days. I didn't even get to ride. I go out to get my bike, and thr fourth brand new fucking tube was flat. I was pissed. I've checked the tire, the rimm, I've used tire levers to get off the tire, everything. But they keep. Fucking. Popping. So I threw my old bike.

Ehh if i have one i end up just going and working out or doing something else because i may just be off balance. Paladis always helped me. And yoga. just loosening up and relaxing. Thats how it is for me always. I do have an off day from time to time.

Figure out where the hole in the tube is, and use that location to figure out what was popping it.
Cause and effect. Simple really.
I recall countless customers when I worked in a shop complaining about flats after getting work done, and most of the time we would find staples and glass and crap stabbed into their brand new tires.

When I bail something, sometimes I'll exaggerate and let go of my bike. I'll let go of my bike really hard once in a while when I'm about to explode of anger, but I'll never legitly pick up my bike after letting it settle and then just straight up chucking it full blast. I've down like once or twice in my life and I've bent cheap forks, dented pegs, and put pinched stems out of alignment.

Also, ten minutes is nothing. Do it for hours.
Seriously it takes me like half an hour to warm up lately. I don't expect anything to look good that quick because of how often i actually get out to ride.

Yeah man I find myself taking a good amount of time to warm up myself before things get awesome. A 10 minute session is fun but definitely not anything to take seriously
