Tricking / Re: Tucking

Okay while Kyle may be kinda harsh, he has a point. You just need to get over it. Sometimes knowing the physics behind a trick and how it works helps. Mental blocks have tripped me up before (mostly aerials and back tucks). What I would do is say out loud "I'm just doing a cartwheel (I used back handsprings for back tucks), don't be scared" then I'd run and throw the aerial. Maybe it'll work for you.
Also, I wouldn't recommend using your arms to catch yourself while tricking. a) I've seen far more dislocations at the elbow than I'd like and b) if you go in with the mindset that you can catch yourself, you risk bailing (which leads to injury) or getting comfortable with landing on all fours.

Don't break too many bones.
