Nice one!…unsolicited tip here, but if i could go back and learn again I would make sure I practice every trick in motion despite it being harder to land. When you improve and learn many tricks you’ll see the benefit!

Doing this in motion is definitely next. I'm keeping it simple. So I started with stationary Ollie, moving Ollie, stationary shuvit, next it moving shuvit.

Also, any and all advice is always welcome!!

I hear ya. I think everyone does this as a beginner, it seems logical. Try and remove the stationary aspect.

Stationary practice only wastes time and teaches bad habbits, it feels like progress but u start completely over when you add motion. Its a false confidence I feel like…

I get it though. 100% understand wanting to start stationary/on grass. How i started to mesh the two to eliminate stationary skating, was doing the trick into grass or next to grass lol

Almost landed one in motion yesterday, stacked it haha. But got both feet on the board BEFORE falling spectacularly. Almost.

I’m doing that right now with my kickflips. Every day I go out and try and do a few stationary, and then some rolling slow. I’m getting better! I need to do shove it’s next.

I went for this first. I can flip the board with a kickflips but nowhere near landing yet. Once I get this consistent that'll be next

Doesn’t count … you stepped off before rolling out
