How long does it take?
« on: June 20, 2018, 09:53:40 AM »
Probably a bit of a regular question but I don’t really give a shit:

Ever try to tally up exactly how long it took you to land a new trick?  I figured out that it took me somewhere between 42 to 45 hours to teach myself how to 180 no comply, haha.  I’m not what you’d call “a natural”.  I remember thinking that Stephen Hawking could have probably done it quicker.

When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

It took me at least 100 hours if not more for me to learn them. I went through 2 entire decks (tail wearing out slightly "frontside"), which is absurd in 1988 equipment longevity. I hate no complies but still do them just because it took so long to learn.

I learned 180 no complies in an evening but I'm absolute trash at skateboarding so don't be discouraged because it is one of two tricks that I can do consistently

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down
