    Ha nice.. yeah man.. I get the feeling everytime I land a new trick. Very satisfied.
    What are your trial and errors with the tricks? I'm sure I could give advice.

    landing sideways mostly, the bs shuv was kind of a fluke when i tried an ollie but i got the shuv, and now ive been trying those even more but whenever i try to ollie that's my main inconsistency. i think my problem is that im not actually popping straight and for some reason my leg snaps behind me so i end up going in a shuv

    Sounds like you're not parallel with the board man..
    your whole body should be straight and by that I don't mean turning out
    your shoulders should align with the board unless you're going to do a shuv or an ollie 180.

    notice his shoulders are straight, centered with the board..
    it's your natural tendency to turn out so it will come in practice but just keep it in mind.

    Oh and dude I would actually recommend hitting up the park if you're into progression
    seeing others do it might actually help you learn faster.. they might even give you pointers.

    alright, thanks a lot man, i'll see if i can try to straighten it out. and i'll see if i can take some time sometime soon to head out to the park, got a really nice indoor one not too far from here, it's like a 5-10 minute drive.

    in all it's glory. i need to try to remake this place.

    switch boneless
    switch no comply
    slappy switch bs boardslides on a parking block

    attempting switch bert slides, but they just so weird, you almost have to forget everything, throw all the muscle memory out the window and just throw yourself at it and learn. Fun though.

    still trying to get switch and nollie manual spins past 540

    Yeah good luck snail.. just talk to people they are usually pretty nice.. I met this 13 year old skating down the hill the other day haha I taught him kickflips.. he was pretty cool.
    Yeah Marc nice.. I think I want to try a few fastplants.. a boneless with the back foot planting so it's like a vertical motion
    back foots coming off of the tail and you're jumping up.. it looks sick and complicated.

    not as hard as you would think, especially if you are having trouble bending down for a boneless.
    Just pop an ollie like normal, grab the toe side of your board with your front hand and step down with your back foot.
    I think you may find them easier than a boneless at first because you dont have to lift it up, you can pop it right up to you.
