constantly feeling like im not good enough. just learned how to slide front noses really long and now my boy already has front crooks. i'm always one step behind the homies.
also it seems like there are only extremely good people and extremely bad/beginner skaters. i've been stuck in this state of being a solid intermediate skater for a while now even though i have a solid bag of tricks
Ok, i explain to you once and for all how to always come across as skilled and fake to be as unkooky as possible, no matter where you go.
Its your trick selection. I bet you have learned alot of tricks and that you are able to pull of alot of stuff. But your problem is, that the the tricks you do are equally good and were as hard to learn tricks as the ones that actually matter (to impress).
You need:
Good kf
360 flip
Nollie heelflip
High fs shove it.
Hardflip if you can.
That’s basically it.
You don’t need:
Reg heelflip
Fakie tricks besides kf
Avoid doing nollie/fakie bigspins/bsflips turning in direction of your frontside like a plague
You need:
Bs 5050 (never fs 5050 something you could bs 5050)
Bs nosegrind
Krooked
Fs boardslide
& bs tailslide, but thats hard.
avoid
Fs 50 & fs 5050
Bs boardslides unless handrails
Trying to force fs tailslides
In transition:
Do axlestalls or pivot to tail or rock to fakie
Never feeble stall.
If you can do above and stick to it, no matter where you go, people will be impressed and think that you are kind of good and assume that you have some skill and steeze.
But sticking to it means you are having less fun and you skate to impress. And that shouldn’t be your goal.
Now you can all kook me.
