Does any specific feature just scare you?

Give me urban, cliffs, chutes, kinks, transfer gaps, etc and I'll do what needs to be done.  But for some reason, Rainbow rails just freak me out.  I sit and ponder hitting them while people make laps around me before I finally man up and hit them... only to find out that they're fine and really not bad.  Yet, come a new rainbow and I'll go through the same system of anxiety again.  Nothing else, just f-ing rainbows.  wtf?

Rainbows are my enemy as well. They have a mental edge on me.... something about whacking your head on them that really turns me off from them

Quarterpipes scare me a lot, probably cuz i have made 2 crashes on it of which both could've fucked me up very badly; up till this day some of my friends still don't understand how i walked away without a scratch....

I really dislike stepdowns. They tend to hurt more than other jumps.

Urban on rails... I did my first rodeo on a 50ft step up, yet I can not bring myself to hit a down rail where you get on urban style.

Rails that are really high up kind of scare me. The higher up they are, the bigger the consequence if something goes wrong...

Big step downs.  I hate the feeling of "falling out of the sky" onto the landing.

I had a huge mental block with rails at one point - always thought I would catch an edge and die or split and sack myself... I would sit at the top of runs for like 20 minutes staring at a rail and then pussy out. But I finally manned up and now i love rails haha.

Now, I think the scariest features for me are jumps with massive takeoffs, cause they give me too much time to think about stuff on the way up lol

DFD used to scare the shit out of me.
Now only corrugated pipes, really high/steep urban on rails and canon rails scare me.

ill hit pretty much anything in the park. but when it comes to a big stepdown... like the kind where you feel like your falling out of the air i get scared. also, im kinda scared of corrugated tubes on anything but a down because an up one ate my ski before tossing my face into the ground...

Big step downs can be scary. Up rails and cannons are intimidating too. Also hittin any new feature for the first time always has that fear factor.
