I went to my first comp saturday, (about 200 people in the crowd), I got so nervous on my runs that I could barely land any of my tricks. Is there anyway to cope with that or make it better? :-11:

*NOTE* It was my first time to the park.

my first contest was at a new park indoor with the same floor you have in your school gym, in the practice i was fine tryin new stuff geting air and landing my tricks tryin to get used to the ramps, when it was my run some thing happend and i kept falling off on my first lot of tricks and it wasent towards the end until i started landing my tricks it happens to every 1, just remember the same guy b4 u is under the same amount of preasure as you and no 1 is going to take the pi$$ out of you n if you do just truck smack them to the head :D

Pretend everybody in the crowd is a hot chick and if you skate good you get your pick.

Just go to every competition you can find and you'll get over that, it will eventually just be like normal skating, and sometimes you'll do better in the competitions then when you normally skate.
