Hey All
This worked really well in the snowboard section so here it is
THE BOARDWORLD SKATER PROGRESS THREAD!

Record all your hard earned tricks here when u first stomp them
Post the next trick that you want to try
And push each other to keep the progress rolling.

BOLTS!

Stickied. Nice one, Andy!

I got my first proper Axle Stall today

I went skating today and found an old park that has some new features that are really good to learn on.
Rock to Fakie is next on my list

Skating everyday is definitely the way to go. I need repetition get my confidence up, just like snowboarding.

general rolling, ollies, then kick flips

nice one Andy! I will get out on the weekend back on that mini ramp I rode last weekend.
To Do/Try List
Axel Stalls - and try a couple of small 50-50s
5-0 Stall

If Im feeling good with those I will try my rock to fakies again, and maybe a tail stall.
Will let ya know how I go. May try to film a run or two

Congrats bro!
Might give an axel stall a go.

Good plan Caboose. My ollies still suck lol, I need to stop being lazy and practice them more.

Cool man, I've never been able to do rock to fakies but I'm working on them.
I found a mini... mini ramp at an outdoor park which is sweet. I pulled off a rock to fakie on it today but it doesn't really count cause it has a metal edge instead of a coping so it was more of a roll to fakie lol.

Next on my list is Rock to Fakie and tail stall so I can link it together.
And I'm starting to learn how to turn the other way on a quarter cause right now I'm not an ambi turner

I'm no an ambi turner ??

It's from Zoolander, bad joke, someone will get it.

I mean I can only turn backside on quarter pipes... which is kinda lame

oooohhh, Yeh I get the reference now haha.

Yeh Im a lot more confident on backside turns. Will work on frontsides too on the w.e

I'm finding heelflips more easier than kickflips. That normal? :o

Not sure I can't do heel flips and land 1 out of 100 kick flips.
But I do know people that find heel flips easier.

that was the same for me when i was younger (20years ago :( )

felt more natural to flick the board with my heel than toes

been doing some ollies in the back of the shop on carpet

getting the rhythm back is hard

my problem is going to be the lack of time i can spend on a board

been watching the BW clips on ollies and kickflips etc - very helpful guys!!
