Not at all Alley. I was cool as a cucumber (don't know how) going down the Hill of Life. The thing that keeps me from trying things like the Liver Lacerator for so many times is not stopping, it is seeing the line (which is plain as the nose on my face but I digress). But truly downhills mostly don't freak me out it is climbing.

And riding with someone who doesn't bomb down them (like C) helps because otherwise I am a bit prone to panic if I have never done it. I am still so green that I really have trouble reading lines. Of course I wonder if my husband was born on a mountain bike because he is such a natural, some people just are lucky like that. I am on slow learner path.

But the bike could use a nice tune up and some new pads.
