Why are you falling? Riding too hard of a technical section, ie. roots, rocks, too steep? Not used to clipless pedals and can't get out in time? Balance issues? Bike handling issues? Depends on what is causing the problem.
Mtn. biking is fun but hard work. I like the road and yesterday was my first or second mtn bike ride in about a year and a half. I fell once but had a couple of near falls. You do improve in time. I'm just a bit rusty right now.

I wish I had an easier solution, but time in the saddle should solve those problems. Falling is part of the sport. It does not happen all of the time, but it does happen, to everyone.
Practice, ride, practice.....
