First time at the skate park

Dazzler · April 18th, 2019, 12:12 AM

I honestly had no ambition to ramp skate but my son wanted to, so I went with him and of course I brought my skates. Insanely pleased with how it went.

Wow, great for a first time! Are you a good "flat" skater ?

I'm about the same age and my first time on a park was last week. The first three tries were the "let's-go-horizontally-high-over-the-floor-and-then-fall-heavily-to-see-what-happens" style...

I think I'm a good forward skater, as in I get fairly comfortable with tricky(ish) forward skating moves quite quickly, though anything backwards/sideways/turns/spins takes serious work and improvements come slowly. I watched a lot of skatepark tutorials before going and seriously recommend the Planet Rollerskate channel on youtube.

I agree, that channel is indeed great to understand technical issues.
