How do I get over my fear of skateboarding?

[ohshee]

First things first gear up I mean helmet knee pads elbow pads butt pads LOL the put that gear on and roll around on the grass so you can see what's going to how it cushions what it feels like how tight your gear hold up does it slip because what you're afraid of is getting hurt you're afraid of hitting concrete and it's perfectly normal but if you know that your gear works and it works good and you understand what's going to happen kind of when you do hit then you learn how to tuck and roll learn how to fall with it and roll or keep standing up and run you'll never have the same scenario but what you will have is confidence it's how you handle a fall so accept it except the right now that you're going to fall not a problem what are you going to do you going to tuck and roll you going with the flow of the momentum whichever direction you're headed no matter what can you roll try to roll and bounce yourself back up to land on your feet it'll take a few times but you'll get control

Only way to get good board control is to keep riding, also its the only way to get over your fear. You're gonna fall a lot, just keep trying, you'll get your balance and board control down, then you can start doing tricks like riding off curbs, manuals, shifties, nollie/fakie shove its, etc in time.
"Come off more natural" as in stopping/getting off the board? Or looking natural?

Trust your instincts, stay off of skateboards...
