Something i was told that helped me hit the 50/50... dont think about get into the 50/50 itself, just focus on nailing the ollie onto the curb itself and the more you land onbthe curb the more you'll naturally adjust your posture and stance to ride that slide... might not work for you, but for me it helped and i realized i was overthinking it causing me to make mistakes. also, you can always slappy it if it's low enough.
Hey man, I 100% agree with each part of SKATE pressure, stiffness, possibly injury * Building confidence in tricks, making tricks effortless * Value of perfecting a trick (like 1 day mostly practicing kickturns, shuvits only etc.) * Learning to deal with setbacks and frustration * Discipline in times of blocked progress or unexpected difficulty * Importance of good nutrition, sleep, wellbeing-first lifestlye I teach kids at my local parks so I've kinda seen every type of learner ^^
Good luck bro. Consider getting a balance board and learning to juggle on bean bags on it. This MASSIVELY boosts your coordination and periprostatic movements. It makes you lighter on your feet. Also try and look a bit further fwd and go faster going up curb to get quicker Ollies. GL man
we're all rootin for you. good luck with your goal. that 50 50 grind thing takes timing and not to sharp of an angle. just gotta keep both feet on the board no matter what when you try it whether you miss or not. i think sometimes as humans we overthink things when its not necessary. just gotta go for it. note: put your board on the grind position. run and jump onto the board both feet and grind. ive seen that help people actually help land the trick.
you are making great progress bro, I have one question! Is there a particular reason you don't typically wear a helmet? I know that most people don't from what I've seen at parks in the US at least, but no one cares if you do and I found that it makes me more confident learning new tricks and committing, plus it could save your head and keep you skating forever. Not telling you what to do or trying to shame you, just curious/ maybe something consider!
For me helmets are pretty uncomfortable, I don't even like having to lace up shoes before skating so the fewer steps between me and skating the more likely I am to go and do it. I've lightly bumped my head once in a year of skating, if I was skating big bowls or ramps or bombing hills I would probably wear a helmet and kneepads. I think a lot of people don't even consider it though because the people they look up to generally don't wear them so why would they? There's a lot of thoughtless trend following in the skateboarding world and not many teachers going against it. Helmets and other protective gear will stop you getting hurt but they'll also remove some fear of injury which is what will teach you how to avoid getting hurt in the first place by falling correctly to avoid hitting your head/knees/elbows/wrists etc, no matter how much padding you wear you will get hurt eventually so it's good to learn to avoid those situations rather than just mitigate them. When you're doing higher risk activities this doesn't really apply though.
thanks for the heads. I started wearing a helmet more often now. I think the original reason why I didn't wear a helmet was because I thought it would be uncomfortable. But now that I have started wearing a helmet, I now know that's definitely not true.
I just started skating a couple weeks ago and also have bad right ankle from an injury years ago. I’ve been skating a couple miles everyday and trying shuv its and Ollies. I can Ollie fairly well now. If you want to do jumping tricks, you might need to take it easy since your ankles will get pretty sore initially. I haven’t had any ankle pain; my feet tend to get the most sore.

thank you, will try this out.

Amazing tips! Thanks for that
No problem!
How is it on ankles? I have a weak right ankle and I’m scared to skateboard after like 20 years of not doing it
I just started skating a couple weeks ago and also have bad right ankle from an injury years ago. I’ve been skating a couple miles everyday and trying shuv its and Ollies. I can Ollie fairly well now. If you want to do jumping tricks, you might need to take it easy since your ankles will get pretty sore initially.

I got those shoes, my feet are too wide for it, it’s also kinda bottom heavy. Check out the New Balance Jamie Foy 306, super durable.
thanks man. will check them out
Definetley chek them out, best shoe I've had for awhile !! sup From Australia
