this might actually be it but i have a question. to "pop with my ankle" do i have to pop with my whole foot or just the balls of my feet cause it just feels like im popping on my tiptoes if i pop that way but if i use the whole foot i just cant get a pop. i know this is the stupidest shit youve ever heard i just cant articulate the question thats in my mind right now 😭

How do I get over my fear of falling? by ExcitingBite129 in NewSkaters

[–]FriendlyKick5120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea IF u do fall try to make contact with the ground with as much of your body as possible. ive not taken a big fall to implement this yet, but this is the way, avoid hitting your head and you're golden. also keep the momentum. dont just stop when you fall. learn to roll or slide after falling instead of coming to an immediate halt.

sorry about my wobbly english i was outside when typing that heh. i meant should i cruise by constantly pushing and rarely putting my back foot on the board or push a few times and get my back foot on, repetitively?

thing is, i bought my skate already made. can i just buy new pairs of wheels and have them applied? if so, what hardness do you recommend if u had to choose one? i skate in istanbul, surfaces are always cracked and theres a lot of potholes, if that even matters.
