Whats up guys? Today we are gonna talk about the biggest mistake in skateboarding. Just keep in mind before i start this video, there are really no mistakes, every choice you make can lead to you learning and its just a part of your path so don't really look at it that way, Im just sharing with you a mistake that i made so you dont make the same one. Ive been skateboarding for almost 20 years and ive seen alot of people succeed at skateboarding and alot of people quit skateboarding and to me this is the one behavior that really separates those two.
So that behavior is being results oriented. Let me explain. When i would go and learn a trick all i would be thinking about was accomplishing the trick, as fast as i could, just getting it done. That mentality has held me back from so much. So instead of mastering the process, and falling in love with the learning process itself i would just no matter what die hard skip steps and just try to accomplish the trick. and what that does is leave the foundation not strong.
So let me give you an example. My younger cousin, he learned every single trick, he would master it on flatground, one step at a time. Nollie kickflip learn it til he got it every single try, perfect technique, then he would learn nollie noseslides every single try, then he would learn nollie flip noseslide on the handrail every single try and the way i would approach it would be " i wanna do nollie flip noseslides on the handrail, just try it 200 times until i eventually land one that doesnt look that great most likely and then be like alright im done, i did it,
Where that leaves you is you dont have those tools to apply, you dont have the nollie noseslide to apply to other tricks and spots. Each individual trick, you dont have that skill mastered to apply in all differant situations. So its really a steady growth technique where you master the procedure, the process, you really focus on that and stop trying to get somewhere fast because that was my biggest mistake. I wouldnt take the time and see the amazingness of the process, i would just try to rush and get it done the best i can, get it done right away.
Now looking back i realize you werent learning the skills properly and not setting yourself up for success just in gerneral. This can apply to all theories in life, all behaviors, i think this runs true.
If you try to skip steps and just get right to the top eventually just kind of crumbles. Theres nothing on the base holding it up. Dont beat yourself up about it, some people learn differently and have different habits and this is just something to help you become conscious of it if its something you do because i know it was something that held me back.
