I've had the same concerns, although a little different.
I passed my level 7 in April then had a bloody reserve ride on my first consol . . . Was too freaked to go up again & complete my consols & hop & pop (something I regret now) . . . The problem is I have left it so long it's going to cost a fortune as I will have to repeat levels!
It was much better doing jumps consecutively. I did 3-7 in one day & although a bit of a head f*** I improved so much each jump.
I had completed levels 1-3 the year before with long lay offs in between & it was MUCH better close together.
Good luck! In no time we will be uber confident (but safe) & having lots of fun in the sky on a regular basis! xx
