Yeah, pop shuv-its (either way) are a great to learn how to catch your board. So learning them first could help. Skating these days is so funny. Was out at my local park the other day, and this dude was doing kick flips, but he couldn't frontside 180 ollie. My warm ups go thru a recapitulation of all the first tricks( 180s, half-cabs, shuv its, etc) I learned to flip tricks (which were later). Anyway, it's weird being the old dude that can do basic tricks( like a frontside 180) that newbies can't do (even though they often flip their board before learning any basic trick. (shrug emoji). I suppose the point here would be to work on basic tricks first, but I'm not one to tell people how to skate. Still can't believe it takes people years to land a kick flips.

I have a long history with skateboarding. Before, I chose to focus more on fun than learning tricks because I couldn’t keep my anger in check and it was fun just doing silly little maneuvers. I’ve seen what you mean about different tricks making others easier to land. I stayed away from tricks like kickflips for those reasons. I’m in a different perspective and place now so I’m okay with just first landing new tricks if I can and continuing to practice & learn from other tricks so I land them all better over time

Here is how to kickflip... Step 1. lean over your nose a little bit. Step 2. crouch down & prepare to throw your weight over your nose as you pop. Step 3. POP but not too hard & actually ollie a tiny bit. Step 3. FLICK.... FLICK through the nose... NOT off to the side... through the nose. (I noticed you're NOT flicking your foot) The flick is the most important part! Step 4. keep your weight forward over the board and let it flip. SERIOUSLY... keep your weight over the nose because if you keep your weight centered or leaning back you will watch the board go in front of you, not stay under you and flip where you can catch it. Step 5. Catch the board and land! Step 6. Ride away! You're welcome!

Hey, at least you're out there, fighting. I think if you work on your ollies, these other tricks will definitely come. A few of the pop shuvs were close!

[@MoonbearDiedHere]

Yes that is the way ! I’ve talked about that before years ago. That’s why when I started the videos up again I started with Ollie camp. Im trying to find the line of being better but not being too hard on myself when it comes to how good I have my tricks
