    Something you didn’t give yourself credit for enough I feel is your mindset shift with skating. You went from a more defeatist mindset to really wanting to battle tricks and not being as frustrated when you landed them. Really good work man!

    Thanks for the vid, excellent summary! A complete beginner here at 36, had to realise that skateboarding is bloody hard, but still worth it just to get a tiny bit better after each session. Keep going, looking forward to the next one!

    Hi I’m not new to skating - started when I was 8 and am now 61 but your clip reminds me of every time I get back in the board after a break - I feel the fear - but I’ve learnt to give myself an hour to warm up, bending, jumping etc takes a while for the body to get used to but it all comes back. I always wear wrist guards and also knee pads at the park or ramp - had too many slams not too. But after the fear there is the the fun, the exhilaration and sheer joy of it all - there’s a boy in me who can’t give it up - keep rolling.

    I started skating again at the end of college 9 years ago and I relate to this. I am happy to report back that skating can still be way too much fun after many years even for those of us who don’t pick it up naturally. Skating gives me a reason to get out and be physical which is great by itself, but that moment when I commit to something I’ve never tried before so I don’t even know what the bail feels like… that is the best moment. Because the fear never goes away. You just find ways to convince yourself to overcome it. Overcoming fear make brain happy. Simple as that.

    Nice round-up, the warming up part made me giggle.
    Resilience was so true, trying the same tricks over and over, across multiple sessions, and sometimes you make a small progress. But it all pays out in the end, when you finally land it, and then again when you see that you have mastered it. Best feeling!
    Have a nice day!

    Loved that moment when you were look around for /then undesirable/ spectators before the caveman, but also you did the same _after_ the successful movement, but this time because of joy. Now maybe that's something what sums up skating quite well.
