- Start date
race more 
What kind of race is it?
downhill
I have done a few races now and i must say that it is completely normal to be nervous. For ur first race just do it to see what it is like and how good you are. It is not a big deal, just HAVE FUN.
thanks for the advice. i will keep that i mind. thank you
sometimes ill get butterflies, but usually just breathing stops them. just think about having fun, not winning. also, try not to think about crashing. that usually makes you so nervouse that you will get sloppy or youll go so slow that it will not be fast (lord am i tired).
