What a great depiction of the struggle to push past your fears! I love a DJ too and hit some every ride. The fear is always there. Mostly I push past any doubts. Sometimes I listen to it, and come back another day.
I’m 44 and suffered a very bad wrist fracture last year (plates, lost movement, continued pain), and a not so bad one 4 years ago. I’m still riding everything, and getting better.
In both accidents I was riding well (ahem..) and had no doubts. Perversely, that’s leading me to do a better job of ignoring those doubt and focus on the technique.
Maybe I’ve been over-dependent on the mental equation: “no doubts = everything will be fine” and that made me a little complacent about my technique...?🤨
