I keep pushing.  I push when my body doesn't feel like it.  I've had 1 serious boating injury but that was enough to scare the shit out of me.  I try to let it push me harder.. not hold me back.  I cant seem to stay in control in the taller drops. Shitty is fine but vert freefall gets my stomach in my throat.  I'm fearful of my fear.. not the water.  How can I fix this?  How old is the oldest chick running calss V and whats the percentage of old farts running the shit??  Guys and chicks for that matter?
