Nice man. Get more comfortable standing up straight (instead of leaning forward) & having most of your weight on your back leg - think of it sort of like rear wheel drive. And also get comfortable going back & forth on a half pipe in your normal stance & also fakie . It helps with training your body to get used to the changes in balance , weight & direction And don’t be afraid to fall ! 😀

@@issacneutron8082 I'm 41 and picked up a board again about 1 year 8 months ago... it had been 20 years away... so glad to have a passion back in my life
@@soberskater I feel that man. I'm 34 and last month marked 25 years of wood pushing, sorta... I haven't been a consistent 24-7 skater since 2009. But except the 3 years I was in prison, id say a month hasnt passed that i havent had a session... And it does feel so good... Ive done a lot of dope shit in my life, but there's no better feeling than when you realize your rolling away from that thing you've been trying for hours/days/weeks... What's weird though, (and tell me if you find the same thing to be true) now that I'm older and think about things differently I find fliptricks much easier to learn and keep consistent. Like I guess I have a better understanding of the physics of it, whereas as a teenager I had a basic understanding of foot placement and what my feet were supposed to do, and that was it. Like for instance, let's take 3flip, at 19yo id land them 7/10 tries and the other 3 tries the board would get ahead from me just enough that my back foot wouldnt make it on. And In my mind that's just the way it was, like everyone misses sometimes and with practice overtime eventually I'd just get better... Compare that to now I understand that the issue is my weight is more on my back foot and to correct that I just have to squatey shoulder to the deck and shift my weight forward slightly and now I consistently got tres 9/10. I learned switch big flips last week. And it's crazy like I trying Nollie bs big spin switch manual and it just wasn't happening that day so I was like I wonder if I switch bigflip is a possibility, and first try I rolled Away and since then I got them about 50% of the time and that a trick I've never had... But on the other hand I was skating a 5 stair a few months back and some 16yo kid showed up and a one point were playing s.k.a.t.e. down the 5 and we're pretty evenly matched. The difference though is he's committing and putting it down damn near every attempt and slamming over and over. And at one point I'm trying halfcab heel and I've tried it maybe 6-7 times and just keep kicking it away and he's gonna tell me "you got it, you just gotta commit" and I had to let him know, I'm not trying to set it down until I'm sure I've got it cuz of if i take even 1 of the slams that he's taken, I'm going home... At my age, you do some shit like land on your hip weird or something and that shit just hurts forever now... What's even weirder is occasionally il land land something perfectly and somehow I still will hurt knee or back...
@@issacneutron8082 ha ha bro same. I land a kickflip and sometimes it hurts... but another thing I have is patience... I don't get angry when I'm not landing something... I say I guess I'm not ready. Just curious what'd you do time for? I never went to prison but at any given time in my 20's I could've gotten 3 to 5... life's strange and sometimes awful, sometimes you roll away perfect and nothing else matters.... its raining out, I usually don't get philosophical unless it's raining....
@@soberskater when I was 17 I did some time for criminal damage (graffiti), possession of stolen property (a bunch of us skaters pooled our money and bought a really nice camera to film or skating except our homie that supposedly bought the camera off ebay for $2500, actually bought it from someone that stole it from a local high school and pocketed the rest of that money. I had the camera at my house when the police raided my house) and lastly, Production and manufacturing of a schedule 1 controlled and dangerous substance.

I am now 34 and glad to say I've never been arrested since... But what's really crazy and you can verify this... In Louisiana we don't have county's, we have parishes and where I live in St.Tammany Parish is actually the incarceration Capital of the entire world... The US locks up more people than any other country, Louisiana locks up more than any other state, and st. Tammany more than any other parish... St. Tammany has a 99.9% conviction rate. Which doesn't make sense, there's no way that everyone that gets arrested is guilty... So much so that every year the District Attorney with the most total years issued from sentencing wins an award called "The St. Slammany Award". Shits bogus as fuck but "Que sera sera" yah know it was necessary for be to become the man i am today and its taken Almost 34 years but i genuinely love the person i am.
