if you could ...
« on: November 25, 2006, 02:05:14 AM »
... improve an aspekt of your skateboarding ability, what would you chose? for me, it would be a little more pop. that would make things like skating a big block easier. i hate when my friends can switch backtail a ledge - while i'm just able to 50-50 it, because it is too high for me.

 Whats wrong with people having another hobby? Some people seem to think that relaxing and chilling out on the messege board is going to ruin their skating.

i'd like to have:
better ollies (both pop and control wise)
transistion skills
better style
manual skills
but if i could only choose one it'd probably be the ollies.

dude, i have the worst kickflip. mostly because every once in a while i can do things with it.

for example ill do a kickflip front 5-0 on a box or something and then like the next day i wont be able to do one that doesnt roll on the ground.

it really sucks to have one thats so inconsistant because you know you can do i right sometimes.

Shit, try having a switch flip that's totally consistent and then having the most mobbed out person regular kickflips.  Annoying as hell.  Really, if I could change any one thing, I'd skate vert like Hosoi.

God, I HATE forgetting tricks. Alot of times I'll get blazed or somethign and go skate and figure out something I've never been able to do before. And then the next day I can't do it to save my life. Even in general though, if i don't practice a trick for a while, like varial/switch varial heelflips i can't land them.

flip in, flip out tricks. I cannot do a noseslide nollie flip or tailslide flip out at all. I can flip into tricks pretty decent but i cannot get out with a flip trick. Like a kickflip manny kickflip is manageable but it i had to do kickflip back 50-50 kickflip out i wouldn't be able to.
