Practice > Natural Talent.
Back when I was 21/22 years old, I got back into riding. I would ride at Piru Mx in socal once a week and I could do most of the jumps. There were two jumps I just could never do, a back canyon uphill double that was 90ft (or so I was told by the track owners) and a 70-80ft front table. I could do the short doubles in a rhythm section and the shorter tables.
When I got to 23 years old, I decided I was going to go every Wed, Sat & Sun for a whole summer. By the end of the summer, I was doing all the jumps, every lap without hesitation. Even when I felt like I came out of a previous section kid of sketchy, I could still nail all of them.
I think it is just repetition that helps build skill and confidence. That's huge.
With someone like K-Dub, RC, or Stew (or most pros), it is a combination of that natural talent AND riding all the time for repetition.
