eat your pride and wear pads for a while. you'll have more courage to do the things you want to try, plus you'll be able to do them more often. once you get them down pat, then you can take the nerdy stuff off.
but... always wear a helmet when doing anything remotely dangerous, no matter how good you are.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
~ Winston Churchill
