I used to have a very very unhealthy self-image, which pulled me into the local skate scene and I have to say you are one hundred percent correct on the mental aspect. I used to absolutely hate myself, very destructive attitude but strangely it did help me skate with more intent, the harder the slam, the harder I'd full send, until one day I got a massive air on one of my first vert sessions, doing the usual full send, 'feck it, I don't care what happens to me' type mentality. I got too much horizontal travel and ended up eating shizz so hard on the concrete next to the ramp, that was 7 years ago, still have not recovered fully, it's an injury that'll linger for the rest of my days. Today was my first ever day skating again, I'm trying to relearn everything but the injury is a constant reminder.... send it by all means, it's a part of skating, but please love yourself in equal part. Health and safety go hand in hand with skating in a way, some might not agree with that. Take my experience as word of caution. I have chronic balance issues now, since I slammed face first into cement from like a 2 story drop essentially. I have issues with small motor functions, pouring a drink is always "an experience" since I have nerve damage in my neck and arms. Love to skate, love yourself, love eachother. PS: I learned how to ride in a straight line today without losing balance completely ^^
I have a similar story, as I broke my arm the first time I ever got on a skateboard. Although your injury sounds way more severe than mine, it's really inspiring to hear that you're getting back on your skateboard and trying again.
When I did my first kickflip down an 8 stair a dude at the skate park saw me and said "you got to stop being a bitch and either go for it or go skate something else" landed it after 2 tries of him telling me that. Skating is super mental, huge reflection of life I feel like.
I always felt it was easier or harder for certain people but anyone can do anything. I always thought you should approach it with a cocky I’m gonna land attitude and give it everything with our confidence whether false or not
I live the Philly and the skate culture here is so awesome and extremely intimidating. I’m not a new skater, but for the past year I’ve only done longboarding. I’ve recently started going back to skateparks and watching everyone easily hit insane grinds and gaps while I can barely Ollie is super frustrating. I know you shouldn’t compare yourself, and that’s not what this is. I feel like im getting in everyone’s way by not being good enough

You really do have top notch content. I do know a lot of what you cover in these sorts of videos but it is so helpful to have it said back to me. Our mind is a funny thing man, its like I know certain thinking patterns are harmful but it can be so damned hard to rewire. I'm pushin 40 and just getting back on my skate after almost 2 decades, your content has been so helpful and I'm very glad I stumbled on it the other day.

Love this video. Very interesting, probably going to read more into it. I feel like I've hit a brick wall with work and skating, and its definitely my mindset. Thank you for the wake up call!
I'm 48 and a beginner. I totally go back and forth with a fixed VS growth mindset. Time is really a huge obstacle for me. I work a lot so progression is sloooow..
Love your video , it settles alot of things I've been thinking, I'm a recovering addict I'm starting from over so I believe that once I have a board again that would help me a lot please sponsor me bro
i’m overcoming the fear of skating after my knee condition took over my mind for many years, and yea it is making my progression slower but that’s okay i’m not in the same body i was in 5 years ago. and that’s okay

Ive been skating for 15 years, been at an intermediate level for the last 5 years or so - back smith grinds, hardflips, back 3, front tails - whatever. Lately I have regressed to the level of a complete novice. Like, I’m whiffing flatground ollies and can’t kickflip to save my life, 5050’s have become difficult and scary. Essentially tricks I have been doing for years, things I have been very confident with, even just my comfort level riding the board has dwindled to an embarrassing point. It’s as if I lost all of my ability overnight. There was no large break in skating either, just a few months ago none of this was a problem. Anyone experience this? I’m having a mental breakdown everytime i try to skate because I can’t even get myself to do a flatground kickflip. Can 15 years of muscle memory just disappear? SOS I’m having a really hard time coping with the fact that my catharsis has become a huge bummer
Your age, physical/mental health, diet, and exercise routines all affect your skateboarding. I've been in the same situation myself, except I abused alcohol to cope with my mental health issues. As a result, it affected my physical health. Although I was starting to progress at transition, my ability to skate street regressed because my reaction time slowed down tremendously. Feeling embarrassed and afraid, I just kind of gave up on relearning street skating years ago. It took me a good while to finally to exercise again. After two years, I'm now starting to get my street fundamentals unlock again. I skated a street styled skatepark two weeks ago, and that session sparked my motivation to relearn street skating. No matter how goofy I felt, I kept reminding myself that it's not easy and it's okay to struggle. I'm at a point where I don't care about relearning flip tricks, as long as I can ollie over stuff and able to do decent boardslides, I'm satisfied. Please try to remind yourself that skateboarding is fun and how much you enjoyed learning the tricks you had unlock despite the struggles. You'll get them back again in no time.
I have been skateboarding non-stop since 2012. I am 25 years old now. I experienced this situation. When we are in a difficult situation mentally, it affects our physical performance. Stay strong and believe that you are in it all Peace
I am 51, this past year my dexterity deteriorated to a point where I can’t trust my body. I can’t fall anymore. I just slam on silly things. I have had to switch to other forms of exercise to help me rebuild/strengthen my joints and twitch muscles.
its so weird i think about flicking my left foot proper then my right foot has a mid of its own when trying to kick flip. like i will feel my right foot on the board then all of a sudden it steps off the board on its own when i can feel my foot catch the board. same happens when i think about popping proper with my right foot my left foot will just not flick proper and slide right off as if there is no grip. but then if i just think kick flip and only think kick flip or i keep a blank mind it happens it wont happen all the time but i do notice if i just not think about it too much it will happen more. it's so confusing at times but it's fun idk maybe im crazy
Well my mindset comes from the fact that im so damn uncoordinated. I live out in the country and cant skate anywhere without rocks. Theres no community and people are rude. I just been doing my own thing for 4 years now, and still cant ollie while moving. Its demotivating to want to skate so bad and enjoy it, but then see people learn and do tricks so easily. I want to give up
I think more importantly is sleep. I find myself not being really into skating if i am tired. Cant land tricks, its probably because ya body needs sleep to have energy. Anyways see tomorrow, going to bed cause i gotta go slave at my job. Lol
not gonna lie when i was pulling b2b2b2b overnights i got some of my best progression at the time off of 1-2 hours of sleep a night (albeit i had no choice and probably could’ve progressed much further with adequate sleep)
@5:40 I think this is exactly why skating with a group that's hyping you up actually does make you skate better.
I used to have a very very unhealthy self-image, which pulled me into the local skate scene and I have to say you are one hundred percent correct on the mental aspect.

Just learned how to frontside 180 down a 4 stair today. The battle was completely a mental one
Yessss Noah good on ya! Putting in the work paid off🔥🔥

I am 50. I have bad days an get hurt and then it ruins my confidence when I am skating well.
I’m in between when it comes to skating …sometimes I’m growth sometimes I’m not. I hate it 😂
We all know a "im not having a good skate day" dude.
Me, literally two days ago, as a beginner.
Really useful info here, some noise reduction wouldn’t go amiss on that hairdryer in the background though ;)

Yeh I feel you on this one! Sometimes your body knows what to do, and the thinking just distracts it from doing what it knows.
Que biiienl!! LETS GO GROW MINSET! so important in life and Skatee like you said. BIG HUG @Thedailypush
