The admissions thread.

Still kicking.
Thread Starter
If you have something that you want to admit, admit it here. I have a couple things I want to admit.
1) I have a bad fear of heights.
2)I have no feeling at all in my left hand but can move my fingers.

1) I try to race everyone on a MTB/roadie on my way to school everyday.
2) I'm scared to do some things on my bike that I'm sure I can.
3) I spend way too much time behind my laptop. Damned rain!

For those who say they fear heights do you actually fear heights or fear falling? I think there's a difference.

Both for me. I can't step near an edge without freezing and getting dizzy...
Fear of falling/ crashing is odd, I can ride full tilt and crash and not worry about it, stick me on a drop and for some reason THAT crashing worries me

Not trying to sound tuff, or like a big man, but honestly I can't say there is much I am afraid of, I guess loosing loved ones would be my biggest fear, other than that I guess I'll try just about anything I think, not sure if that makes me ballsy, or just stupid, maybe a lethal combination of both I do no my limits though, and live within them, I know I'm not going to be hucking a back flip on my Dirt Bike or doing sick 40' gaps on my Mt. Bike, so I guess that can vouch for a liitle sence in my noggen. Just watched episode 8 of Drop nwhen Dude shatters his heals, and man that's a reality check

I'm scared of heights/falling.
Large spiders(like dinner-plate size tarantulas...)
I'm scared of asking out girls.(on dates and such. I can talk to people I like, just not ask them out. how ******** is that?)
hell, I'm scared of alot of things. It would take too long to type them all out here.

1) Afraid to ask girls out on dates, just like forum rider
2) Fear of heights/fear of falling
3) Crowds, I hate large groups of people, so no on the club/bar scene
4) Failure, it's what drives me through school...I don't want to end up homeless.

I'm not really blonde.
My hair turned completely white when I was 22.
It's never changed.

I'm not afraid of heights at all,it's not uncommon for me to be 60ft off the ground on the peak of a house. I don't like Horses, big powerful animals.My wife just got a new horse and I won't have anything to do with it.

I don't have the capital to buy a $$$$ FS bike.
I'm afraid of breaking my jaw or teeth when I wipe out.
I don't mind snakes, am afraid of black widow spiders (some live in the garage.)
I'm not as handsome or intelligent as I seem on the internet.
