Just got back into skating a couple months ago at 31 years old. I skated for about 10 years, but hadn’t been on a board since my mid teens. I got back into it fairly quickly. Got my Ollie’s back, fs180, fakie ollie, fakie 180 fs & bs. Fakie shuvs, pop shuvs. All came back to me within the first 5-6 sessions. Fs shove almost back and for some reason bs180 is nowhere close.
Then I got to working on getting my heelflip back. Landed my first one in a game of skate which was so satisfying. I landed a bunch more that session and the following, but still missed countless attempts, maybe landing 1/10 or so. Landed primo a few times and it’s totally messing with my head and I haven’t landed one in 2 or 3 sessions.
I had pop shove it’s on lock. I would practice them but just continuously popping them one after another. Caught one in a weird way and bit ass. Now I am missing them like crazy, and they look super sketch.
And now my fakie Ollie is higher crisper and straighter than my reg Ollie. I spent some time today working on keeping my Ollie straight. If I pop lightly and really focus on keeping my shoulders square I’m fine. But if I’m trying to get some height I always turn fs which sucks cuz I spent a lot of time working thru that when I was younger and first started.
