I'm in my 30s so learning brand new tricks doesn't really happen. I usually just try to relearn the ones I forgot 10 years ago. That being said I was pretty psyched to see my long lost frontside crooks show up for a sec the last time we went out.
^^ This.
I spent two hours the other day trying to get my heel flips back. got one.
.
I did Skate a lot during the summer and started to pick up old tricks I had lost... Just to dislocate my shoulder again.. c'mon son.
So right there with you. I'd been skating pretty regularly for the first time in years. Started getting some stuff back, relearning tre flips, fs flips, a few old tranny and ledge tricks, finally feeling good on a board again. Did a noseblunt for the first time in probably a decade. Actually stepped up to a rail, again for the first time in almost a decade and even though I couldn't stick it I was pretty hyped to even get into a couple tricks on a rail. Albeit a small and mellow rail, but still, for somebody in their mid 30s who last skated in rail in their early 20s, there's a lot of bagage to get over, even for a crooks or a front board. Totally was getting back to being a skate rat, just skating 3-5 times a week and stoked. Then the day after i posted that I sprained my ankle really bad. Today's gonna be the first day on a plank in about 4 weeks. I'm guessing it's gonna be a pretty frustrating day.
