Much of what’s flying around YouTube etc as trick tips doesn’t really seem to help much - pros who can just do tricks naturally doing the trick 10 times over from various angles, and the explanation being something like “To learn how to frontside flip, learn how to fs 180 and then how to kickflip. Then, put them together, like this! (Pro does trick)”.
However, I’m also sure that most people on here have had a few experiences where some advice really unlocked a trick for them. For me, some older dude telling me that you have to keep your shoulders parallel to the board in order to ollie straight, do kickflips etc was basically the start of actually becoming able to do tricks and progress. Also, kicking the front foot down towards the ground rather than forward on heelflips also made a huge difference.
What tip has actually helped you to learn a trick?
