Learn how to skate.board (not trick prejudice.) :: Unless you’re a monkey flip, I have no clue where to put that in the progressions.
I’m watching some braille skateboarding playlist to get me into the mood… :: Sorry Ana. <<She’ll probably be on my next date night (with me)… :: Oh, those eyes, though!… :: I should have invited you to dinner tonight, #Coming.soon…
Also this sweet little post, is actually an entry on my ebook dedicated to suicide prevention. :: “The overengineered ebook” :: Feel free to start the hyperlinked ebook from the beginning. (click this link.)
Alright, write this list… (to start, you’ll modify the list to fit your strengths later.)
Regular.
Switch.
Fakie.
Nollie.
Then, under each “stance” write “01 ollie, 01 shove.it, 01 kickflip, 01 frontside 180, 01 backside 180”
Your list should look something like this…
Regular.
01 ollie.
01 shove.it.
01 kickflip.
01 frontside 180.
01 backside 180.
Switch.
01 switch ollie.
01 switch shove.
01 switch kick.
01 switch frontside 180.
01 switch backside 180.
Fakie.
01 Fakie ollie.
01 Fakie shove.
01 Fakie kick.
01 Fakie frontside 180.
01 Fakie backside 180.
Nollie.
01 Nollie.
01 Nollie shove.
01 Nollie kick.
01 Nollie frontside 180.
01 Nollie backside 180.
Aaron Kyro (I love the guy) and his system, helps you become fluent in one stance… My system help you become fluent in all stances faster… :: Aaron Kyro’s system gives you quick wins + confidence within the stance you’re working on…
My system, helps you not get hurt (the short game), and you’ll be playing the long game from day one.
Revolving door theory.
With ollies (and ollie variations) I give myself three chances (three lives) to land it.
If I land the ollie (variation), I go into this flowchart.
Did I land the ollie? :: If yes, move on to shove its. :: Did I land the shove it? :: If yes, move on to a kickflip. :: If no, move back to ollies. :: Did I land the kickflip? :: If yes, move on to the frontside 180. :: If no, move back to the shove.its. :: Did I land the frontside 180? :: If yes, move on to the backside 180. :: If no, move back to the kickflip. :: Did I land the backside 180? :: If yes, start moving onto improving the # or type of rotations (360.shoves? :: frontside.shoves?), or make a combination of rotation types (varial kicks are a shove + kick :: Backside kick(flip)s are varial kicks + backside 180… continue to chosen progression.). :: If I don’t land the backside 180, move back to the frontside 180.
If you miss too many ollies in a row (3 in a row), move down to the next stance (switch, fakie, nollie)…
Once you pattern match to your first progression the day is done.
For example…
If your list looks like…
Regular.
14 ollies.
10 shove.its.
9 kickflips.
7 frontside 180s.
1 backside 180.
and you land, 10 shove its, turn the 10 shove its, into 11 shove its, and move the stance (regular stance) to the bottom of the list (of stances), and take a nap.
Once you get 2 backside 180s, the idea is to raise the type of rotation, and you’ll be quite consistent on a skate.board overall. (because your nollies, switch, and fakie, grow with your strongest stance.)
Why I chose this trick/workout sequence.
The problem with 180s, is… no matter what, you’re rolling on your weak side, unless you’re on an incline… if your switch stance grows with your regular stance, your weak side, will be pretty closely matched to your standard stance.
