conv: I was pretty unsure of myself when learning to ride a bike at 15 Can you believe that I learned to ride a bike at age 15? At least you did it. Lance Armstrong did not learn until he was 13. Really? I didn't know that. Is there anything that you'd say you were a late bloomer for? Love_comma_ it took me 12 years with the same person to build up the courage to ask her to marry me.  Well congratulations for taking your time_comma_ look at it that way. yes not if I can just calm the nerves for this skydiving trip. Maybe try controlled breathing exercises_comma_ I'm sure you'll be fine and want to do it again. Hope so. I don't do well with heights.
