I still haven't mustered up the will to start skating again and I live 20 seconds from a skate park that no one ever uses. it was fun when I was 12 or 13 and way better than everyone but I'm going to be a 21 year old that can barely kickflip any more I will look like a handicap.

this inspires me to try making a pk/freerunning megathread but idk how many could relate to it lol

Didn't see this post earlier, I'm starting out at parkour and I would contribute :)

I was so close to landing a kickflip today. I kept over flipping and one of the times the board hit me square in the ankle and I yelled "DAMMIT!" in pain as a 1st grader walked by so I walked inside so I wouldn't be questioned.
I also gapped an entire sidewalk.

Pretty good for a -6223 year old.

Once you hit the tail down you should jump and roll your front foot upward with the angle of the board to pull the board up, don't roll it straight forward and make sure you jump. You are either not pulling the board with your front foot right or you are doing it too early without enough jump. In my prime I was able to ollie up a stadium at my school that was higher than my waist, you can get as high as you can jump with a lot of practice.

Not commiting? not bringing your back foot up? most problems i've seen is they're not lifting their back foot off and it just stays on the ground.
