So I'm pretty new to track days, I just completed my 5th track day but my last 2 times out ended in a crash. I consider myself a level headed safe Rider and never tend to ride above my head.1st crash happened at Little Tally in turn 2, confidence was at an all time high, I was riding really well, touched knee for the first time etc etc. I came into the turn a little hot and decided to try and stick with it rather than slam the front brake and lock the wheel. Lean angle was a bit too much and I ran out of tire and lowsided.Brought the bike home and fixed it up and booked a weekend at NCM.2ND Crash happened Saturday at NCM during my first session. Being a novice Rider I was expecting the coaches to take us around the track a few times to learn the spots and turns. Not the case this time as I was left alone to learn. Well I learned quickly they have a turn there called "deception" , and as I came over a hill knew immediately it wasnt going to end well. Lowsided in the grass and smashed into the tire wall.I was able to get my bike working and salvage my Sunday. But I just went out there and cruised around. My confidence is a bit shaky after that and I'm wondering what are some things you guys have done to shake it off?Obligatory video of me riding little tally https://youtu.be/cIkq4kOdLrIstill shot via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/9cfgvf/regaining_confidence_after_a_crash/?utm_source=ifttt
