No i mean like. Well i have my front brakes set so they dont lock. I meant to say unpredictably locking front brakes.

Really the only thing that scares me is jumps. But if it were a wide open paddock with the same size jump and everything id be fine. But there's this like 15ft stepdown but the tranny is like off camber sideways and you gotta jump between two trees. hell sketch. but there's a nice 12ft step-up after it, which you dont have to do the stepdown for tup

Turning right scares the crap outta me....I'm a lefty with a strong tendency to prefer turning left over right....I tense up as soon as some form of right corner crops up!
Takes a lot of practice to get over it.Whip

dirt jumps, big gaps are no problem, and drops are OK, but when it comes to dirt jumping, im a complete noob.

im a fairly tall guy (1,95 m) and i dont like the tiny jumps, jut going up and down.

im more a fan of distance jumps Blank Stare
