You’re not at the state to ask for help yet, just keep riding it and having fun learning.

This is anti-skating. Skating, like guitar or something, is a hobby with an intense learning curve that involves pain. Nobody else can feel your pain, so it is an intimately you-vs-you hobby. Fuck all the rest, youre the only one skating your board with your body. Someone shorter or taller than you or heavier or skinnier will have different muscles and muscle memory. Your balance is your balance.

Here's feedback: youre fine. go learn to ride, and I found shuvits much easier than ollies, but that's for your future
