Today I landed two new tricks a couple of times:
- Fakie BS Pivot/5-0 Stall To Fakie
- Half Cab

Half Cab is a really beginner trick that I have not dared to commit to but after I practiced Rock To Fakie where I have my body wight full on deck and can stand there for a couple of seconds and then go back in again it opened up for a Half Cab. Fun to finally land this trick.

EDIT: I think I forgot to update last time that I also have landed:
- FS 50-50 Grind To Fakie
- Fakie FS 50-50 Grind To Fakie

I did commit for one BS Pivot To Fakie today and ended up in a shoot out and a hard fall. I don't feel I have control over my weight distribution when going back fakie from 5-0-position and it wasn't just to commit in this case, I need to have the basics in place first. I cannot lean back as I want to feel safe. So my conclusion is now maybe to stop new tricks for the moment and go back and practice what I have learned so far and be more comfortable riding back fakie down the ramp. I think I rush things now and that isn't safe. I don't want to hurt myself due to taking risks, but it went well this time. Better to take it slow :)

Ah well, falling is part of learning in skateboarding for sure! But if you don’t try to go for too much too soon as you are talking about doing, then you’ll be fine and hopefully only have minor falls.

That’s the one thing that keeps me away from trying to skateboard now as an older adult. I fear it would sideline me from tennis because I’d inevitably have some injury. Had to stop competitive league soccer for that reason too (I had my ankle broken because of someone’s slide tackle into me).

Stay safe but keep challenging yourself, you’re making great progress and love reading these reports!

Today I landed my first BS Pivot To Fakie. I couldn't stop trying the trick so now I will continue due to I now know I can land it. I also managed to do a good BS Feeble Grind and that was a trick with a great feeling.

I am still skating :)

I have not been able to do the new tricks into the steeper indoor ramp but I have at least been more familiar with it and it feels less scarier to skate. So I have mostly just been skating and try to be a little better on familiar tricks. I have also tried to practice the FS Ollie a little bit more and can sometimes do it over the cooping. One day it works and the next day it doesn't so I have a little bit more practice do be done. Yesterday I practiced to do the FS Ollie straight up and down again and I think that will be the key to be able to land it every time.

One new trick that I can land 50% of the tries is Boardslide To Fakie. Really fun trick and feels great when it works.

Stepping up to a bigger ramp is a huge undertaking! It’ll take time but you are making progress every time you step in! I never was brave enough to do any that were taller than 1.5m and was never any good at that one. Really only managed the 1m bowl… that extra 50cm was a huge step up, and I never even tried the 2m and up ramps at all! And that was when I was a teenager, in my 40s now I’m not sure I’d try any of it :lol:

So yeah, to me it sounds like you are doing great!

Yesterday I landed two new tricks in the wooden bowl (over the hip):
  • Backside Ollie
  • Backside Air
Really fun tricks and I managed to be over the cooping a couple of times. :)
