Also if the Sketch Hitchcock guy on here is Skitch - you are a legend!
I used to crow hop right before I popped any trick, kind of a bounce before the bounce, stopped doing it when I noticed it from filming
i gotta get off this fuckin website
I'm just a general commitaphobe. It takes me so long to full commit to something that isn't a go-to trick. It can be a foot tall ledge and I'll hyperfixate on the absolute worst case scenario.

Regular stance is a mental disorder defined by the DSM-5
i have to warm up with a slowass front 5-0 on a ledge because if I try to 5050 first I willy every time. I forget where my weight should go on it every single time and have to remind myself. I don't warm up with back 5050s because I forget to lead with my shoulder, land in feeble and die. I remember enough not to try the tricks first but not enough to just do them right the first time
As I get better at a trick I start doing it worse. Like I naturally figure out the minimal effort needed to land it and it ends up looking like dogshit.
And I grabbed stinkbug on frontside airs.
I still push switch mongo. I dont care. Sometimes the holding my breath thing. Warm up / stretching takes up 60% of the session. I tend to pop tricks on flat pretty good. But on occasion I do this lazy pop where my legs don’t bend and I have no idea where the board is. Super sketch. And embarrassing. Awfulizing every trick attempt.
Holding my breath. Sounds like I'm having an especially difficult time dropping the kids off at the pool. i know I should exhale as I pop, but I dont.
I would say not working every session on keeping tricks. I went about two months without flipping my board and now I am relearning shit. I need to go through my whole bag each session to stay current on shit. I also need to stop telling myself it’s okay to not flip my board bc of my age. Apparently I still want to do it, so I need to make myself do it. One day I physically will not be able to any longer, and I will be pissed.
