I have been skating for about a yyear.the only tricks I have down are ollies and shuvits. I can fakie ollie and fakie shuv also. I always get scared to ollie off of stuff. The biggest thing I ollied off of was a curb. I have tried to heelflip for about 7 months, and I have landed 2. I try my hardest, why am I so bad? My friend has been skating for 2 months and hes better than me..

You have to concentrate more and i would recommend to have a friend that could teach you if not look it up on the internet. Just have a good time that's what skating is all about try new things and just have a good time if you see you cant land the trick try something new and get back to that trick when your better. P.S Some people are faster learners

You should feel good about yourself. I have been skating for 4 1/2 years and I cannot even ollie :( Then a few days ago a new kid whose at this time is on his third day, he lands an ollie, manual, and has learned to drop in on vert and I am pouting in the corner like, ''Are you f****** kidding me?'' So I have not skated in a week because I do not believe in myself anymore.

I've been skating off and on for a couple years maybe 3 or so and I'm not even completely comfortable with my Ollie's lol I can only pop shuvit, shuvit, and have yet to even get a decent kickflip funny tho I am getting close to a varial kickflip even closer than just a kickflip XD maybe some advice tho, if u do get frustrated with skating take a break and cruise around on ur board for awhile always seems to calm me Down

Some people have talents in areas, others do not. Maybe your talent isn't in skating, doesn't mean you can't do it or become good at it, it will just take you more time than others. In skating, I have found that it is very important to have someone show you how to perform a trick rather than trying to figure it out yourself because there is a method to how each trick is performed and there are ways that work and ones that don't. I find it a lot better to have that information before trying to execute a trick rather than trying to figure it out by yourself. Get some reference on here: http://www.brailleskateboarding.com/

Bless your heart, poor thing. You have to be in a practice state of mind, and actually be skating at your hardest then do the tricks and moves you want to attempt to succeed at.

Some people are just better at certain things. I have a fine motor problem but it's very slight. So certain things are harder to do.

Really, you just gotta practice and don't be afraid to ask for help. No one is born great. They probably have had more experience though.

well you dont have to just skateboard, you can always longboard and freeboard... lol i suck at skateboarding so i longboard and its awesome
