newbie looking for help

I am completely new and I am in way over my head. Yesterday was my first time on a trail and it was intimidating and fun as heck at the same time. The trail was listed as intermediate to advanced but five of us newbies headed out there anyway. It has quite a few technical trail features. Here is my problem, on the steep decents (with lots of tree roots) I felt like I was going to pitch over the handlebars. I lowered my seat so I could get farther back on the bike and this helped some. I still nerver was able to relax and feel comfortable. Is this something that I will get comfortable with in time? I have read some of the other threads here and they are very helpful. Are there some practice tips you experienced riders can share with me to practice to speed up the learning curve? Thanks a million.
