Today was skating great and doing hardflips which I always do 100/100 tries. Then out of nowhere it started underflipping and I kept landing primo. In my confusion I started playing with my foot positioning but somehow I completely messed up my back foots position(physically and mentally). I ended up having a complete brain fart and after a few minutes I couldn’t even form the trick anymore. Starting accidentally forming 360 hardflips and getting wicked shinners every other try. It was one of the most frustrating moments I’ve had in skating in a long time. As soon as I got home I remembered the most basic tip ever and did a few perfect ones really quickly in my garage. I was so afraid I had lost my hardflips out of nowhere, almost really put a damper on the day.
Something sort of similar happened to me with guitar in college but worse. I had learned to play a good amount of songs my senior year of highschool and was enjoying it, but when I moved out I didn’t have enough room for my guitar so it stayed at my parents house. Like 7 months later I was visiting and picked up the guitar for the first time in all those months. I played the most complicated song I knew first try and a few more times after. Then I set down my guitar for a split second and by the time I picked it up, I couldn’t even remember where to put my fingers anymore. 2 minutes earlier I had been playing perfectly, and now it was like I hadn’t even touched a guitar in my life. Never had the time or drive to re learn guitar.
Glad I only lost my hardflips for like 30 minutes.
