Seat and track time coupled with track familiarity is always the deal! Getting into the right mental state for me is like I said vision and relaxation. If I can rid myself of tension I am able to see and focus. It is the the same thing with hitting a baseball or a golf ball. I was an excellent curve ball hitter because I could see the dot the seams would make on the rotation of a curve ball and being relaxed help me with making adjustment to wait and hit it.
Downhill runs are always scarier than uphill runs because of simple physics and car dynamics. There is a reason that closed road time trial are called "Hill Climbs" because going uphill is significantly safer and and faster. That is if you stay on the asphalt!
