The good thing about a spot like that is that nobody sees you killing yourself. I think most people don't go hard enough in skateparks because everyone sees them missing tricks/ falling everytime when they're beginner

1. Change your environment
2. Try new tricks
3. Get out of your comfort zone

That’s really the best advice to give for skateboarding progression! Thanks man!

I am new to skateboarding and been doing it in just a week and I’ve learnt how to push, turn, balance and putting my back foot on the board and I did all that in just under a week I’ve been doing it for an hour everyday and I’ve improved so much on my turning the first day when I started I was terrified of pushing and balancing on the board and I left my comfort zone and I’m so proud of myself for that because I’ve always struggled with social anxiety just staying in my room 24/7 not wanting to leave my room and I did that I left my house and found a new hobby for the first time in years I feel so much better about myself.

My progression has kinda slowed down over the last few years because I got comfortable with the tricks I was doing and then pretty much only did those tricks. But over the last year or so I’ve been trying new tricks again and have gotten a much larger bag of tricks now. Always try and learn something new when you go out and skate is my advice for anyone trying to get good at skating

[dasmondgunn]

That’s why I like skating alone because I can try a new trick as many times as I want even if it takes me all day. Most times when skating at skate parks with people you tend to not give as much attention to those types of tricks you really can’t do

Edited this in: To add on to that last statement. it’s also because you don’t want to feel like you not in the session with your homies and that sometimes seems like you are ignoring them because it takes way more focus and time to learn something that you are not filmier with

I’ve been skating for 13 years but I’m still watching this lol. I just got back into it 9 months ago and i just want to feel more confident. Gaps mess with my head a lot except for euro gaps because they go up instead of down. And after watching this, I’m going to try new tricks more often. I just learned how to front big spin up this euro gap and I don’t even know how to do it on flat ground. I’m going to keep pushing myself. Thank you!

i just started skated for the first time in about 2 months and its been frustrating trying to tricks i know i could do before but not being able to land them this video helped me out a lot on picking up where i left off in my progression i appreciate it

[meikil]

Bro, u are spitting facts. I noticed that my skateboarding was getting stagnated. I only have 1 skatepark at my village, and it's really small and the obstacles are limiting and not that good. I started skating a lot on the streets due to that, and on the last 3 months I learned more stuff than on 1 year and a half at that skatepark.

Ik this video is 2 years old. But I am a inspiring future pro skater (I hope lol) who still is trying to get his ollies up to 2 feet and a half. This video inspired me and got me thinking rn how can I improve more to progress more with others, and that I should try more hard to get out of my comfort zone with ollies, and learning new tricks. Great video dude :)
Love your skating style btw.

[eeeeric]

I needed to hear this... I will finally go and get treflips down next time I go skate :)

[trapstarchuck]

One thing that really helped me was learning something new each time i went to the skate park or every other time i went and not anything crazy either, just learning little stuff or like using obstacles that i always used in a different way. Trying to learn something new even if its something simple can change your game tremendously. Its all about being creative and being versatile with your creativity imo. Also if you wanna progress faster i highly recommend skating out in the streets, that did wonders for me and made me so much better personally

[simonblower]

Great advice...Fear and age hold me back...

[ringo-iv]

Man I've been skating a decent amount of time. Well 15 years to be exact. This was insightful. Makes sense to switch it up. Sometimes I get stuck warming up with basics then at the end of the session I don't get much time for something different. Gonna try that out. I like the getting uncomfortable one...

[huntercarneystandup]

I love this! Keep pushing! I hope you blow up for real!!

[jefflancaster]

Thinking about getting back into skating after 20 years hiatus.this is good advice and inspiration, and I think it is applicable to life itself to get out of your comfort zone to accomplish personal growth in any outlet in your life. Great video thank you for the Post! 🙃

[BlackMarketHoney]

One thing I have learned is that I have to understand when my head is in learning mode or not. If it is not it just gets frustrating and it is better just to have a feel good skate. I have to have the right mindset to learn, and sometimes a feel good skate leads to new trick mode!
Also, I had to learn to learn. Have a plan. Learn how to breakdown and practice a trick. Give myself a few test tries to understand where my board and body is going to make sure I am going fast enough, high enough, long enough, clearing the obstacle etc.

[TheAnimeist]

Changing my environment helps the most. That way I inadvertently encounter a new transition that adds to my training.

:000 I wasn't even looking for this video, but I sure needed it. I was just thinking about what progress I could make after I fell off my board earlier. Great vid🔥

[fisharson]

hey man thanks for the video, very useful !!
ive skated for over a year now (not including hiatus) and just got a decent ollie. i feel happy with my skills until i see them on a recording- and what I’m doing looks really beginner-ish, and no different from my skating 3 years ago (back then i had way fewer mental blocks, and could drop in from banks without a second thought). it’s kind of annoying that all my ‘progress’ has just been towards building up unnecessary fear and mental blockage, or at least that’s what it feels like. i guess now ive realised it, all i can do is try new strategies like these to remove the fear that’s stopping my progress- many thanks :D
