Went for a skate tonight and I was able to drop in from another ramp that was a bit higher and had no coping, it was scary at first but it feels so good and fear for that one is gone. smile Now, I want to gradually go higher! shaka

Thanks banana! smile I’m bad at vert too, I’m more of a street skater but still haven’t learned any flip tricks yet :( best I’ve done is slipped out from the 2 heelflips I’ve ever done :(

The progress that everyone is making in this thread is awesome. I am sure that everyone being stoked of each other is helping the progession as well. Been mucking around at the local park with some of the fellas. One of the guys and myself have been trying to add some variations to some tricks. Like keeping the front foot on the board when doing a pop shuv it while kicking our own butts with the back foot. Super funny to muck around on.
2 tricks I am trying to nail at the moment are nollie full cabs and fakie full cab. Get super dizzy practicing them all the time.

LOL ^^^

Went to the skatepark today to try some 50-50s on the box and man its a big step from the ledge at the spot we found. I need to learn to bring my back foot up and I need to be closer to the ledge! >:$

Lazy back foot the joys of that throwing you to the ground next are fun. Closer is not always necessary, just popping enough to get on the back truck.

Don’t have anything online and haven’t made plans to film anything. See what happens might end up doing something with one or two fellas.

After weeks of trying to get onto the box at the skatepark I finally do smile

It was a massive transition from curb to box for me. So stoked I finally was able to get on LOL
Did my first 50-50s on the box instead of a curb wooo I haven’t 50-50’d all the way on it because I either lose speed or it slips out but the most important thing for me is getting on the box!
