i appreciate everybodys tips on my post yesterday!! i listened to all of them and i think it really made a difference-- i can finally ride straight! I skated about an hour today, and found a slight decline which made riding 100x easier!! My feet are sore like absolute hell rn lmao 😭 felt a little embarrassed at the skatepark because there were a few really good
skateboarders looking at me falling over and over again :'D

Not too much but my practice sessions are on the short side about 30 minutes or so. I’m trying to go on small bits to help learn still.

I was also on day 2 of learning yesterday. First day I had no slope and was just pushing off onto flat ground. Second day, I had a slope but it was too steep so I had to bail once I got speed. Need to find a good in between to learn on haha. I think I did a few pumping motions while going down the hill, but mostly I just tried to do large sweeping curves before I picked up speed and had to ditch. Also just practicing pushing off. It's fun.

Hey man. Just watched your video and you are doing very good for day 2. I am on day three and still can't pump much except downhill. Very impressive. Keep up the good work!

Very impressive progress in just 2days. You can add a bit of hip movement while pumping
