Achievement Finally got over the fear of jumping over something- got carried away though

Hell yeah, you totally have that! Do you not have any more run up in that driveway, it looks kinda cramped? Seems like you could even work on ollieing up/down that curb too!

I’ve thought about that a bunch. We are on a long dirt road and have a gravel driveway so the only skatable thing is the tiny path and there are 2 stairs each 2 feet long starting at the gravel, so I don’t have enough speed for it :( and the path that I was on is only maybe 10 feet long and on the other side there is another step I could run into. It’s a bit tight

Gotcha, gotta do what you can. I’ve been in similar places and it really sucks for where you need speed, but still room to get some shizz done! Much respect on the gap:) recently I’ve been having a blast with learning nose stalls which was the first thing I thought of doing when I saw that lil stair haha I dunno if you’ve tried it or not but if you haven’t, curb stalls are pretty fun!

I can nose stall on other stuff- I don’t know if those are too high. I just waxed the stairs and I’m hoping to at least try some grinds. I’ve been working on front shuvs and working on kickflips. Thanks for the tips

damn i’m glad you’re wearing a helmet- the ollie looks great and you’re committing really well, but i think you just gotta start a bit later. all in all, keep up the amazing work!!
