i usually practice everything on the bank and flat and i have 180s fa and bs on lock but the arent very high, nowhere near as high as my normal ollies. but im wondering if im doing them wrong, when i 180 i start spinning as soon as i pop but at the park is see people seemingly ollie then turn midair but i just dont understand how to so that, any tips?
ive been skating about 7 months now and ive had all the basics down. (ollies,180 fs and bs,half cabs fs and bs ,reverts, shuvs fs and bs, 360 shuv bs, kickflips, fingerflips, no comly shuvs, decent manuals, manuals on the manny pad.)all my tricks are consistant on flat and on the bank but i dont feel comforable enough to try anything more than a 3 stair on them. but i cant seem to learn anything new and im not sure how to progress now.
im nowhere near varials or tres. my heelflips just fall behind me. i keep eating shit on boardslides and noseslides. i cant drop in and i dont think im going to try that for a while. i cant lock into 5050s and keep eating shit too. i cant nollie or switch either.
im so tired of turning up and doing the same tricks whilst just not making any progress on anything new.
has anybody else just hit a block in their progress for months and if so how did you overcome it?
for context im 19 and autistic and really struggle socially to the point where i feel like an alien fitting in with humans which leads me to having such bad anxiety. people at the skatepark ask me questions and speak to me everyday and i never know how to respond which makes me feel just awkward everyday. as a kid i was bullied for being weird which stemed from me not knowing how to socialise. so over the past six months or so anytime i go out i drink and it makes me feel normal, makes me feel human and i can somewhat socialise, i dont feel like a vermin just being in the way of people and my anxiety somewhat goes away when im drunk. in this time ive finally made friends and even spoke to girls and ive been somewhat contempt with my happiness.
but people have started to notice how much i drink and im starting to feel the effects of drinking heavily and im scared if i stop ill lose all my social ability again and im just stuck. i want to not be able to drink but it makes me human and it makes me not invisible anymore.
