I hear a lot about board madness, truck madness, or ritual madness before attempting a trick. I participate in all three, but by far my most extreme madness is trick madness. I'm obsessed with making my tricks look how I want and I obsessively break every part down to truly understand the mechanics and what I need to do to be successful. Most people don't seem to do this that I skate with, but I find that a side benefit is I'm good at teaching people how to do tricks, and doing that sometimes offers me new insights I hadn't thought about. I'm not sure why but skating isn't fun to me if I can't eventually express myself exactly how I'd like to and look proper doing it. I also hate the have fun versus doing tricks proper debate. It's not a flex to be able to do a trick properly, what it does is give you access to so many other tricks, lines, combos etc. Sometimes I wish I didn't care because it can be frustrating but it's never going to go away so I've accepted it. I'm wondering who else is afflicted by trick madness.
