When a jump has ruts om the run up and on the jump face i lack the confidence to send it.
I can corner well with ruts and get thru straights pretty well but with jumps i get so worried about getting kicked sideways or cross rutting.
Any tips?

I’m here for you, Jeffro.
The more you hesitate the more off balance you will get, it's always nice to practice in sandy ruts as they have more movement than mud.

I’ve gotten way better, in short time, by always riding within my comfortable zone and letting the sport come to me. Im never scared of being hurt because Ive never been hurt on the dirtbike. And my confidence is always high. That goes a long ways.
My advice to the OP is to NOT force anything. Let it come to you. If you ride often, difficult things get easier just by desensitization. Seat time is your friend. Crutches are not.
If this was basketball I’d be telling you that intensity of your training is more important then hours spent in the gym. But basketball isn’t the type of sport that you get punished (injured) because you missed a layup.
