The grind of working for a trick:
- you work on a trick for months just to get a sloppy version of it, you aren't 100% satisfied with it but fuck it you're too old to get it any better
- or sometimes a trick just clicks for you, maybe it's something you tried randomly and it turned out easier than you thought, or someone suggests a small adjustment and makes the trick so much easier
You can't force either one, all the tutorial videos and hours of iPhone footage doesn't help, then 1 day the stars align and you're 10/10 on that trick.
Or you got the trick on lock for 1 day, and the very next session you've lost it again. The skate gods are fickle like that.
