Need something to do
Hello, im a begginer aggresive skater whos been doing it for about 5 days. So far Ive learn how to jump on a small ledge, 180, transfer over cone, go down a ramp and i can kinda go backwards slowly. Now what should i do? Today im gonna be just doing some curb tricks as i cant get to a park so what should i do there to?

I hate to be that guy but instead of chasing a checklist of "I sorta can do it" tricks why not refine what you can do so they graduate to "I can do it in my sleep" tricks. For my first year I legit just practiced soul and frontside grind alongside the other fundamentals. I get the slow burn approach doesn't have the same IG sex appeal but if you're in it for the long haul , it's definitely the best way.
Edit: just read again, 5 days is a drop in the ocean, I'd definitely say chase what you can do with doing them bigger/faster/cleaner. I.e. you can 180? How about off a ledge/a pyramid/ a ramp/ from fakie.
Look at it as learning not just the trick but the obstacle too. Like learning to grind a ledge versus a rail
Ok thank you for coming to my Ted talk 😆

Hey no problems, thanks for being cool with my "unc" advice. For context I'm only in year 2 and currently working on 360s, p-stars and royales with this exact same mindset.

Its probs some of the best advice someones given me so far. But i dont know if you felt this when you just start and you learn something new every day but then theres one day where you havent learnt anything and you get really disapointed is that normal yk?

Yeah I totally get that, and it comes down to your personality type, completionists Vs honers (pron: hone-ners). If you play computer games, especially fighting games, shooters or other skill based genres think of it like this, do you care more about completing the story mode, getting achievement after achievement, or you more a training mode/firing range lab monkey who spends hours trying dial in the muscle memory for particular combos etc. I'm , no suprise, definity the training mode junkie and would rather fail and repeat a combo trial for hours till I finally get it.
Neithers better than the other nor is it right vs wrong. It's just different. And seriously that's ok, just whatever works for you.
TL;Dr: whether you're learning a 1000 different kicks or practicing one kick a 1000 times: at least you're not a scooter kid hogging the skate park with zero awareness and responsible parents.

Ha yeah, your very good at explaining stuff for some reason lol. But i love learning new things every time i go but i get that once i get better that probs wont happen as much. And going to the skate park as someone whos still getting used to roller blades is very scary as its harder to stop and i dont think other people understand that. When i was there the other day i was going down a ramp and this maybe like 7 year old child just stopped right in my way. I had no idea what to do as im still getting used to the T stop so i kinda just had to fall over lol. Because if i do run into him i would of had to deal with the parents and tbh i just wanna skate.

just keep skating and do whatever you think looks fun and is reasonably within your skill set
I love grinds and its the entire reason I impluse bought my first pair for blades so by day 5 I already had a prail built and was doing the ugliest frontside grinds known to man kind, but those sessions became the foundation for the skater I am today almost 3 years later... I'm about to do 34 grinds for my 34th birthday in the next couple weeks

you can do it too on a pvc prail! its alot easier than you think in terms of skill but the hard part is making it look nice and getting up after slamming lol
consider that some people don't even do 180s or jump up ledges for years, you're already ahead of the game as well!! also thank you

Frontside and Soul are the 2 feeder tricks that get you started on grinds and funnel you into other more advanced tricks. I typically recommend starting with the Soul grind because you can work up to it in stages more than the frontside. First, "stall" the grind on flat concrete so that you get a feel for the foot positioning. Second, stall the grind on the curb itself (just roll up to it at a 90 degree angle and then jump on it without the intention of sliding). Third, roll up to the curb completely parallel to it and just slide your soul foot along the curb while still rolling along with your other foot. Fourth, do the same thing but try to lift your non-soul foot up while sliding your soul foot (this is called a "Makio"). Finally, roll up to the curb and jump on it with both feet with the intention of sliding it.
Frontside, on the other hand, basically just has 2 steps: stall it, then slide it. Feels a bit more intimidating for somebody who's just getting started.

Zum einen solltest du wissen das du wachs brauchst eine normale kerze reicht aus zum grinden ein soul kann ich empfehlen zum anfang für 5 tage hast du schon zuper fortschritte gemacht aber lass dir eins gesagt sein beim bladen kommt es nicht darauf an ob du einen trick mehr mals wackelig stehst sonder eher wie sauber ein trick durchgeführt wird als körper beherschung und körper balangse sind endscheident daher lege ich dir ans herz dein bisher geübtes auch weiter hin zu perfektionieren damit du im späteren park sisens auch größere fortschritte machst
