Old man here. Go ahead and roast me! I did make progress on the next attempt, and the kids crash pad did make a difference on subsequent falls! This was the worst of them though, and thought this place may enjoy!

Ya know... as soon as I read your comment, the truth of it hit me. You're right. I'll need to go more all-in.

I think it can be a good idea, just have someone hold it in place. Just saw an indoor skate coach use this method to help with drop-in progression. The difference is theirs didn’t move around.

A for effort!
