I try to learn stuff rolling usually - I find it a bit sketchy practicing stuff static. I had a little skate this morning, nailed a couple of nose slides, which I’d previously been bailing on all the time. Also managed to get my ollies and fs ollies popping much higher when I realised I had my foot too far back on the tail. Put it more in the scoopy bit and instantly doubled my pop!

It’s not a bad thing to feel fear. Three old mates of mine (in our 40s) with fractures during the last year, skating with their kids. Wrist, ankle and kneecap. Wear protection (they didn’t)…
Edit: are there skateparks with soft stuff to land on while getting the hang of a trick? Like there is with trampolines, ski/snowboard jumps etc.
