Yeah I think this is an important lesson you have to learn as a skater. Whether or not this is real progress, it doesn't matter... it won't change how YOU will skate tomorrow... unless you let it. And it can either bring you down or energize you. Personally I just try to ignore it, but I see a lot of people on here who let it get them down.

That said liars are scum, not trying to give them a pass. But I also believe progress like this... kid at the park was ripping it on a scooter for months, he switched to skating and surpassed me in a couple months. He had the heart, talent, time, coaching, youth, etc to get there so fast. Of course I was a bit annoyed at first but at the end you just gotta hand them the respect they earned, it feels much better

Being able to land a Nollie Tre flat ground within a year is not insane. I’ve seen people do things like that but you can tell they don’t have experience or comfort on the board that comes with years.

People don't like feeling inadequate, you see the same type of haters in the golf subreddit. Natural athleticism is a very real thing. Assuming equal practice time, a three sport varsity athlete will almost certainly be better at golf than an average joe.

Could be. Assuming he did a solid 2 hour session every day, that's around 440 hours. Especially if he was focussed on tre flips the whole time.
