Riding with someone who is more confident than you also has an effect. I have done a couple of rides this summer with riders who are more confident and skilled than I am and I watch them do moves I'd balk at riding alone or with less skilled riders. Suddenly it all seems possible and I am able to do that drop or that roll and suddenly my perspective changes and it all seems doable.
