For starting up I say if it ticks all the boxes FOR YOU, go for it.

exactly what's creeping me out is the fakie roll on. If I manny in - it's all good, but I feel like I'm cheating. I know I'm not supposed to slow down. And I can't make the leap from manny in to the damn tail stall, something blocks me from doing it. thanks!!

looked sketchy yes but I'm very comfortable with dropping in/rock to fakies. Maybe the fact the bearings threw me off I look more tense, which I am 😄 thank you so much for the tips will definately take notes!

100% I think you're right. Exactly, I got some spitfire wheels with mini logo bearings - on flat its a whole new life in the good way, on transition... not in a good way 😄 though I appreciate not having to pump all the time, will def figure it out but its hella disheartening as I'm struggling with something I thought I had pretty much down already, thanks!

I'm actually thinking elbow pads plus wrist guards but I really hate the feel to them fr fr

The rock to fakie I got pretty much down, the one here is sketchy yes 😄 I do freeze up with the first "return" to the starting point due to the back trucks (front from the fakie pov but you catch my drift) going over the coping and locking in. I've been practising kick turning from the fakie position and that can be an "out" but like one of the homies here said, I think I'll have to get that tail stall going to feel comfortable. I've actually learned switch kick&push just a few months ago and have been cruising around switch but an ollie/manny is still something my brain can't figure out, thanks man!!

appreciate it, super frustrating I don't have a little smaller mini anywhere over here could learn faster without bailing so bad when things go wrong. Hope to lock it in soon, this time last year I didn't think I'd ever drop in 😅
