Me too! If I know that I have to just go and be out of control where I can't stop and if I fall, there would be massive bloodletting, I tend to really get scared. I know in MTN biking, you just have to GO sometimes but I do freak out when there is a steep and rocky descent. I'm hoping I'll improve with experience.Originally Posted by ASG
I definitely fear technical descends on mtb
I get anxious before a technical descend and most of the times, if it is a really tough one, I prefer to walk instead of ride it.... now I'm starting to do it, it looks that I'm on slow motion, but if I see rocks, roots or a drop I get really nervous!!!
My husband is always telling me that there is more of a chance of falling if I try to slow down then to just let myself go, but I'm just not good at being out of control.

I would like to "steer" the discussion back to road descending...
