What are you trying to learn right now?

[Easy Slider]

I feel you, I had fakie FS heels dialled when I was younger, but can't seem to replicate them now. Learned half cab heels instead so tend to do those.

Got closer to the fakie fs flip today. It's so close, I can feel it. On the other hand I thought the same for tre flips for over a year yet never got one.

Does anyone have tips or pointers on flips out of front tailslides, or atleast that position as I'm trying them out of switch slappy noseslide which I'm far more comfortable with as opposed to tailslides. The issues I run into is either A) I jump too far forward and land on the nose (which I guess means I should jump less) or B) I start to turn when I go for the flip out but my body underrotates compared to the board (probably due to the fact I learned 270 shoves out first so I became used to turning out that way). Some clips below of tryna film one the other day

I'm not going to even talk about flip outs 'cause I'm no where near them but I have been hammering away at FS tails and the one thing I've noticed with people that have FS/BS tails 100% on lock is that both feet are level and only slide on the curve of the tail and not the flat.  Less resistance and all that, but it also sets them up for the pop out and barely dip before they pop.

Good example (SSBS tails but shows what I'm talking about).  See 4:45 for the scrape mark evidence.  Looks like he never slides on the flat of the tail.

You want to know a funny thing, from my perspective watching those repeated attempts I don't think you're doing anything that would be technically wrong at all. What it does look like you're battling is accepting the idea that you're in fact able, not just of doing the trick, but also of learning how to reproduce it every time. Mostly appears to be a mental thing here on those bails and oftentimes that has to do with one's process of readjusting their focus as they realize their own latent capabilities before they actually get to develop and apply them.

Trying to get half decent inverts. I've got the general movement down, but I always over-rotate into fakie. Which is cool in its own regard, but I can't go back in forward for the life of me. Getting stalled out is another matter, I know a steeper/taller ramp would be beneficial but flipping over that high up gets sketch real quick.

Any one got a tip on getting these better? I had a bit of a lightbulb moment when I caught a bit of air before I planted the hand, but that has been hard to duplicate. I watch trick tips on it every so often but I feel like there's something that I'm not getting

Got an entire list of tricks I知 working on and I知 confident on most of them but trying to learn polejam 50s on these is the one where I知 completely mentally blocked. I知 pretty sure all I need to to do is jam it and hope for the best but I知 terrified for some reason even though I知 pretty sure nothing can go wrong if I fuck it up
