Why does no one realize that it doesn't make sense to have to strap yourself in like a roller coaster when you get in your car, yet bikers and skaters hardly wear helmets and are not covered in bubble wrap.
Wah! I got a pass at the climbing gym here! and it is so sweet. I'll tell you what if you want to get over your fear of something real quick or you want to work on your trust or commitment issues...try rock climbing. First of all let's look at this rock and decide to hook ourselves onto a rope...nothing else but a rope and some clips and proceed to climb to the top of a cliff. Then let's put our lives completely in the hands of the person at the bottom to catch our fall...at least that's when our equipment decides to hold strong... if we fall off the side of the cliff. And the only way to get better at climbing is to get used to falling and getting back on the rock and trying again and to commit to reaching always a little bit higher for that hold that only your pinky fits on...
OR! even better lets bag the rope! and then you just have to make sure you don't fall at all or that the person at the bottom can somewhat break your fall from shorter distance. And if you're scared of falling...then don't fall...you just have to completely commit to that next hold and make sure you're strong enough to stay on it just long enough to get to the next one. Climbing is great isn't it?
Also...long boarding. Long boarding is great. But riding on your butt on a long board down a parking garage is the best. That's one thing I haven't learned to trust yet...speed while standing on something I don't know how to stop safely without breaking my ankle or something else serious.
