Yeee you're right, at times you've gotta push through pain to a certain degree. Although I think what you're talking about is more just being beaten up from a heavy session, in the vid I was talking about those injuries that stop you skating. I've had many heavy sessions where I was battling a trick for hours and woke up destroyed the next day, but I hadn't arrived at that point where something inside of me was telling me to stop. On the other hand I've gone for 5 min skates and that sensation kicked in. You've gotta battle and pushing through pain is a part of skating, but I'd still say it's not worth it on those days where you're feeling like you should stop.
Last few months I've had some serious injuries. I'm taking a week off or more at a time to heal. It's hindering my progress, but I know it means I can go back to skating sooner rather than increasing my injury and being out longer.
So true but so hard to put into practice. For one it is really hard to walk away from a session when you have been looking forward to it. The other thing is a lot of time sessions can change, you get warmed up, find a groove or just get sparked. If every time i wasn't feel super comfortable on by my board i called it a day i think i would probably shut down 80% of the sessions. Definitely worth focusing practice, would need a lot of weeks awareness. Potentially even some tests to run against yourself, like if you are multiple times missing tricks you normally have on lock, then that is probably a good sign to not try sometime sketchy or at least find ways to tone it down a bit.
Solid content!!! And this skill, I believe... every skater who had try to film a trick know it, but always get sabotage by the #1 phrase every skater use "Last one" or "Last try" knowing their body is beyond exhausted and then injuries happen. So... yeah, knowing when to stop is a skill that takes a LOT of time and mindset to learn. (I'm still learning)
True words! As an experienced skater who has been skating for 27 years now this happened to me yesterday. I didnt want to stop because nothing went right yesterday and rolled my ankle on the last try. It would have been smarter to stop before. 🫣 I went to the hospital today today and they said that no ligaments were torn.🙏🙏🙏 Thanks god i can do sports in a few weeks again. 💪👍👏
Very important thing to note for sure... It's always when you try to do a little extra that freak accidents happen. Also managing the session time so you don't try one thing too repetitively more than 20~30 mins in a row would be smart because the fibers around our joints are toast by then.
I’m 31 years old re learning how to Ollie again. For sure at the beginning of a skating session I had way more pop to my Ollie’s in the beginning. After about an hour I barely had any pop. My body was just tired or something so I agree just come back the next day and you’ll have way more pop.
I'm not the greatest skater or sportsman but i have skated, surfed and practice some karate for many years. One thing I've learned is you have to learn to listen before expressing yourself. You gotta be aware of the environment, your body, your mental state and the moment. Try new or difficult things when the four are in the same vibe. Be careful when you are warming up and when you are hyped. Also learn falling techniques such as Ukemi. I think i saw some skaters in the tokio Olympics use it in the street course. Also wear a helmet. Yep. Even for street.
Thanks for this timely video. Just today I had a bad slam and fucked up my wrist. I was only on three hours of sleep and still felt some of the effects of last night’s substances, definitely not at my optimal level. I was pretty tired and should not have even been there. luckily I don’t think it’s broken, but it’s definitely fucked
And sometimes when you skate without being fully centered you build bad habits that you will maybe bring to other days when you're actually concentrated
I can usually tell fairly quickly if it’s not the right time for a session. I’ve had a few where I do a few warm up ollies, then start practicing a trick, and within 5mins I know I have pushed through being tired during a session. I’ve really been practicing heelflips and my legs will be getting sore, but was feeling so close to some good lands that never happened. Has happened a lot. I should prob take that hint that once I’m tired, I need to stop. My form will only get worse the more tired I get
I broke my ankle when doing my warm up 50-50 on transition ='( You are still 100% right tho. I really enjoy how you mix skateboarding and orthopedics... Very helpful :D
Also: being tired. You might skate your warmup well even when tired but all the unexpected stuff paired with slow reactions ain't it. One lockup, one slideout and then you don't roll away but eat ground
Started skating with a helmet mid last year and not only do I feel much safer, I also progressed much faster because I feel more confident and overthink less if I will bail on a trick or not. Honestly protection is hugely underrated in skating.
Totaly. It's not just the bad slams that skaters should think about.. It's also the cumulative effect of lots of little slams over the years. If your not a poser.. prove it where a lid! .. Who cares what others think?

Yep, knowing when to quit is very, very often the key
But often you don't realise how injured you are until the next day. Skaters push through the pain, otherwise you'd never land anything

Hey, dude, I saw you at the La Floresta skatepark last friday and I said hello. Yes, the old man with a beard. Keep the good work!

I agree for sure

Great content and multitasking! Thanks

Like ryan sheckler said "i never chose when to skate the costco gap, i just went there went i woke up and my body told me to"
I won't skate without pads and a helmet
Started skating with a helmet mid last year and not only do I feel much safer, I also progressed much faster because I feel more confident and overthink less if I will bail on a trick or not. Honestly protection is hugely underrated in skating.
Same dude, only helped my skating @@frodo3556
I finally bought a helmet and smashed my head before putting it on because I was just warming up and didn't think I needed it yet lol.
Skated for a long time without one, but these days it's becoming clearer of the importance lol.
