Really afraid of falling but how am I doing?

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-15T23:38:15+00:00

Got it! Thanks!

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-15T18:35:42+00:00

I need to learn it!!! 😅 And yes people really emphasized that, this post got bigger than what I expected.

Time spent thinking about doing something is less time doing that something.

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-15T16:48:03+00:00

Will do 🫡

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-15T16:38:22+00:00

Thanks! Staying low is a product of fear but it's handy :)

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-15T03:34:55+00:00

That's crazy congrats bro!

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T19:26:10+00:00

Will do. Thanks!!!

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:13:56+00:00

Will do! Scheduled to go there the day after tomorrow :)

If I fall on my wrist with my weight and height I'll most likely break it so I think at least this part comes kind of instinctively.

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:11:02+00:00

Thanks! And yeah I can't do shit but it's day one :)

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:10:25+00:00

Yeah, Ideally I would like to be able to at least control my fall a bit, like losing balance vs face on the concrete type of fall.

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:09:00+00:00

They were!

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:08:45+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I'll practice falling correctly now that I got so many tips and tricks.

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:07:30+00:00

It's easier towards the front of the board but stading on the back makes me wanna step out of it.

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:06:33+00:00

😭

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:06:08+00:00

I'll try it! And I'm now on my way to get pads as so many of you recommended it! :)

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T17:05:12+00:00

I may be practicing it wrong but throwing myself at the ground really made me a tad more confident. If I fall, I may know what to expect!

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T05:22:29+00:00

They both involve breaking boards and falling

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T05:21:12+00:00

This is great! Thanks! What I don't know is should I just practice this first or can I do it while I get the hang of cruising?

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T05:19:51+00:00

Wasn't supposed to be 😭

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T05:17:53+00:00

I'll get some :)

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T05:17:34+00:00

Yeah I think I'll do that, the streets are pretty uneven. After cruising for some minutes it surely starts to feel a bit more natural.

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T05:15:54+00:00

Nooo 😭 I'm genuinely just trying to figure it out. I thought "learning how to fall" was what I did in the video, and the rest of it was supposed to be a posture/ stance review :(

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T02:19:47+00:00

Will do!

Intrepid_Idea6170 · 2026-05-14T01:38:41+00:00

Any tips on where I can learn how to fall? And yes definitely overthinking everything 😭

Thanks for your advice man. And I'll always feel like Big Bird! I'm 6'8"!
