I always try to make up my mind about every jump on the track, by the third lap of practice. "Rolling" a jump, lap after lap "thinking" you can do it, will only make you more scared to do it (mind trick). If you don't "know" and "do" by lap 5, don't even think about that jump anymore! There are other fast ways around a track than a tricky jump combo, or massive launch.
1) Its always better to be a little long on doubles than short. Make sure you're going fast enough to get over it, no questions.
2) The thing about doubles is that eventually, you just have to not be a pussy and go for it. You certainly want to have enough skills on the other jumps so that its not a big risk. But with a new jump, there is always a point you just gotta go for it.
I hadn't been on a dirt bike in a year and hit Piru. Within 6 laps I was jumping everything. Of course, some people can jump and it doesn't freak us out.
Will I jump anything? Oh no. I may be cocky but not stupid. Just be smart.

Remember, try shit that really scares you now, so you'll have stories to tell when you're older.
Bottom line, dont push your self but if you know in your heart you can do it, go for it. I personally think you will have no problems if you commit to it.
I'll pick out people my same speed and watch them jump stuff, let them be the guinea pigs. (wasn't always this way... but i'm old now...lol)
second... and this is a biggie... you have to have confidence and be fluid. when this isn't the case... that's when you whiskey throttle it or don't excecute the jump before properly and it throws you all out of whack.
the confidence thing is like when you're racing... you'll do things alot better when you crash in the first turn and just goforit... you're not thinking of anything else besides being mad.
