i honestly think that i havent learned a new trick since like sophomore year, for some reason ledges and flatground tricks hate me (not sure if its height or just me sucking) so ive pretty much have been re trying to the same "tech" tricks i can barely land for a while now, anyone else has this plateau problem? its frustrating as hell, and the lack of spots/people doesnt help either
I've moved a lot the last couple years and definitely felt like I plateaud at a point due to lack of spots and being busy with work/school. It didn't help that I lived in a rural area the last year and a half; there weren't smooth streets for doing flip tricks(or even cruising around for that matter) and a skatepark that was in shambles. That being said, I moved back home recently and have been slowly progressing again, which I'm hyped on. Besides not having spots (which can be tough from a motivation standpoint) I feel like you can get to a point where you just try to keep your old shit and it gets frustrating when you're not as consistent as you feel like you should be. We all have bad days and mixing it up with shit I never try on said days can help. Takes your mind off of, "but I should be able to do this" and puts it at, "wow, can't believe I got close to that" (if that makes any sense). Also, if you're looking for something to skate, you can always try and build something.
I threw fakie front shoves and fakie heel flips out there the other day and they worked out, hyped on that.
