Back on the skateboard after a couple of months off with a foot injury.
Current issue is the movement of front foot from being sideways on the board to forward on the board for the start of the push.
I’m finding if my foot isn’t pretty much straight I push and go off to my right. I’ve got no confidence in my push currently, trying to move from pushing with my foot and calf to swinging from my hip to push but my balance goes out of whack when I try that.
Any suggestions or should I just keep attempting to push on the board? I’m thinking I need to strengthen my front knee, just get steadier with it, when it’s bent and I’m leaning over it.
On the optimism front, feel much better standing on the board even after the time away, much more comfortable on it as it rolls.
Going to spend next week just getting back into doing 30m to an hour on the board to see how I improve..
