For me it was 1.11. There want even concrete blocks or glazed terracotta yet. You still had to bob around like a fishing lure when you tried to swim lol anyone remember that?

I had to retake gr10 bc of personal issues, depression, and just general laziness. I felt like shit because of it. I just want to know if anyone can relate and if it isn't the end of the world if you know what I mean?

I feel like if I do more explosive/plyometric workouts and some balance exercises I'll have better pop, board control and just not be sore afterwards because im lowkey out of shape a little bit. Used to workout on and off like 3 years ago but life got in the way so I dont really anymore.

So, should you workout if you skate?

I've been skating for a year 3 months. Can ollie, nollie, sw ollie, fakie ollie, shuvit, fs 180, ride up and down ramps, roll of curbs, and barely kf. I would say my progress is pretty decent, especially for only skating maybe 5 hours a week and taking a 6 month hiatus during wintertime. But OH MAN do I ever wish I got into it earlier. My sister showed it to me when I was 8. I tried to stand on the board but I was too scared to even do that. I would just roll around on my butt around our basement because it was winter at the time (live in the Midwest winter is the default setting lol) but I never actually tried to learn until I stumbled across Braden Hobans "catalyst" part and from then on, i was immediately hooked.

If I found that lust for skating when I first stood on the board at 8, I would be SOO GOOD BY NOW. I woul have been skating for 8 years by now and im only 16. God do I ever regret not commiting to it. But hey, dont we all?

For me, it is having wasted my teenage years. I have no friends, no social life, and no experiences just because I decided staying at home and playing video games from 13 to now is better than living out your best years

I know the answer will vary depending on playstyles. But personally it took me the first 3 weeks of playing to fill it completely. I wasn't trying for golds or anything, even though I have a few. I just wanted to fill it.
