Thanks!! You can’t go wrong with a small box, such a great way to practice new/old tricks and build up confidence at the same time. Once I get the nose manual locked in I’ll try and do a tutorial vid, but for now just having that extra runway and bending my knees good during ollie has been the trick to getting them. I also some how convinced myself that technically I can’t fall on my face because naturally my back foot should come forward to catch the fall….in theory 😂
@@OldBrokenSkater i slamed myself on the concrete yesterday trying to come out switch of a ramp and I springed my wrist and hip a bit, gotta take it easy cause those falls were why I left skateboarding before, learning to drop in on a ramp, I gotta wait till the 30th for my box and gonna get some wrist guards so for now I'm gonna rest and practice some flat stuff, im struggling with the pop shove-it, cause my board does the rotation but goes forward and I land with my front foot almost on the tail gonna try to improve that and get more consistent ollies and commit to jump up and down some curves because i don't know why it feels so different if got the ollies down on flat.
That sucks, the feeling of slamming on concrete/pavement is definitely hard on the body. Went to a park for the first time a few days ago and I decided to push the limits. Took a good slam trying to roll in and I went down pretty hard, which made me decide I needed some pads for park skating. Definitely rest and take it easy and maybe shift the focus back on ground stuff like you said, but also spend time on getting a solid ollie. I literally spend some days just working on foundation tricks so that I understand my balance, foot placement, and overall technique. For ollieing up the curb, maybe try just doing a bunch of 50-50 stalls on the curb or just getting on the curb that way with no rolling though. After you've done a bunch then come at it from an angle on your front side so you can see what you're ollieing up. I say come in at an angle because that’s a shorter distance than straight on, it helps trick your mind that the back truck won't catch. For the shuvit, make sure that the back foot is all the way on the back of the tail but not falling off the tail, and the front foot is just behind the front bolts. Make your back foot do more of the work in this trick. I will try to add this one to one of my videos; I think it's easier to show and explain than to write. Remember we're learning/relearning this stuff all over again so we can take it at whatever pace we want; there's no rush to learning a trick or rushing progression. I think if we get in the mindset of needing to progress quickly, we will probably slam a lot more and a lot harder, which makes skating not fun and ultimately we will quit. If we make it fun and progress at our own pace, we will be more likely to shake off some of the slams and just be more inclined to do it more often. Sorry for the super long response!! I'm a talker😁
😂 that 20 year old beauty is a 7.75 think 31 long. I got it for free when I used to work at a surf and skate shop from a sector 9 rep. Getting a new board soon here probably 8.25 to start and catch up with the times 😂. I have a few relics from that era, a Stereo 7.5, Stereo 7.63 Black Label 7.75. Wild now how the norm seems to be 8 and over.

Starting off with good slam. Nice! Fun session!
Gotta highlight the good ones in this process😂 Thanks!
Awesome session!
Thanks!!🙌 Hoping to see you skate soon again!
@@OldBrokenSkater hopefully not too long now, getting better by the day
good session bro, you are impressive
Thanks a lot!!!!
Yeah buddy! Nose wheelie's looking solid! They can be so damn hard
Thanks brother! Took a ton of tries but making progress, think its all in the initial setup and bending the knees a bunch.
@@OldBrokenSkater sounds about right!
nice video man those nose mannys looks good, just ordered a small box like that on Sunday, one with copping on both sides to learn mannys and grinds
nice slam too

😂 thank fully it was just wood, if it was the pavement I would have probably laid there until night time.

Dude that deck looks so narrow to me. Is that an 8” or even smaller?😮
