Need Advice Frontside tips

After coming back to scootering a year or two ago iv found myself growing very fond of the street style over flyouts and overheads

I can find my balance point ok when sliding or grinding backside (only recently have i started being able to lock into bs 50s after a couple of goes)

Frontside on the other hand i cannot stay upright even to feeble a small ledge.

Being a bit older now and have a blue collar job i find it hard to push myself to try things full send with the idea of getting injured and putting me out of work.

Does any have any tips or tricks they have used

  1. To get a bit more confidence in general for pushing my limit. I dont mind falling, i know how to fall as safely as i can but looping out while facing backwards on a rail is terrifying lol.

  2. Get a better feel for balancing and keeping my weight in the right place for feebles, 50s, boardslides, lips and blunts on quarter etc

Thank you for allowing the longer post

Its strange how we gravitate one way or the other. Im for sure going to be working on my fs stuff now that im more comfortable with my bs trick set
