Every day im at school with my friends or at a skate park vert riders always think that i have the same learning time period as them, My friends learn tricks rapidly while im still doing steam rollers. A lot of the vert riders there dont understand that flat takes years to get good at. My friends always ask why arnt u good. I always say " its my first year im really not supposed to be doing advanced tricks." my friend says " well im already learning tire grabs and i have 360's down." They just dont get it. It takes time to develope the skill. Im not worried about this but its something that bugs me a little. But this does help me to urge my self to practice. With my steam rollers im doing fine on, but im puting my feet down a lot. i can do fw straight steams and right now im trying to nail going in a half circle. its been a good week. sort of.
I don't think I've encountered a vert rider in over ten years. This is like saying "boy I don't like Azerbaijanis" or something.
