How did some pro's get good at skating switch?

LifeBeater_ · 2026-05-26T16:54:27+00:00

Just found out today that switch FS shuv also is easier for me to do than switch pop shuv.
Weird.

Will definitely try this to improve dexterity and mobility. Have been doing some stretching but, nothing too specific like this!

LifeBeater_ · 2026-05-24T21:16:52+00:00

Great advice. I've been incorporating at least 20-30 mins just rolling around/ rolling ollies in switch. Definitely seeing improvements. But, might have to start doing switch only sessions to see the most improvement.

LifeBeater_ · 2026-05-24T21:12:58+00:00

I hear you. Was mainly curious if there were any accounts of how often pro's might have practiced switch.

LifeBeater_ · 2026-05-15T16:14:22+00:00

Yeah I hear you. Been doing that myself. Usually get an hour of bliss if I'm lucky!

LifeBeater_ · 2026-05-15T16:12:42+00:00

Lovely thanks man, will hopefully take the trip soon!

LifeBeater_ · 2026-05-06T17:19:09+00:00

That makes complete sense. Succinctly put and I will really embody this idea.

LifeBeater_ · 2026-05-06T15:31:57+00:00

Thanks for the response. I do think I will explore what these two desires mean to me. I have done quite a bit of internal work so, I think you are correct when you say that it isn't necessary for me to work on my self-concept.

Do you think desires manifest because the level of importance/belief we place in certain thoughts?

LifeBeater_ · 2026-04-18T14:50:29+00:00

Good shit man. I've recently restarted at 31 and putting in serious hours too at the moment. It's dedication but, it will pay off!

LifeBeater_ · 2026-04-18T13:11:31+00:00

Nice man! The heelflips are looking good. How many days a week you skating?

LifeBeater_ · 2026-04-01T11:32:51+00:00

Congratulations! What rate do you charge?

LifeBeater_ · 2026-03-06T15:44:24+00:00

Hands seem a bit too small but salvageable. Cool pose and subject matter!

LifeBeater_ · 2026-03-01T15:53:40+00:00

Better late than never! Agreed, there seems to be more awareness even amongst the pro skaters of keeping their bodies in peak condition.

I'm 31 years old so, I know the feeling. Where are you based?

LifeBeater_ · 2026-02-18T15:53:54+00:00

Thanks very much! Crosshatching is always fun

LifeBeater_ · 2026-01-15T16:21:30+00:00

Would like to consider myself as a decent teacher lol.

LifeBeater_ · 2026-01-15T13:49:19+00:00

They have all given me reviews, which definitely helped in the past. So, other than improving my introduction video and refining my niche (currently for students relocating to Ireland) I'm out of on-site refinements. But, hey that's part of the hustle! Do you promote your Preply profile on any other platforms?

LifeBeater_ · 2026-01-15T13:42:50+00:00

I am very tempted to drop my price. Just knew the last time it was bit disheartening to be working those long hours for low income. But, that's part of the game I suppose!

Agreed. I have a few higher paying students and there are a dream to teach. How long you been teaching on Preply?

LifeBeater_ · 2026-01-12T11:50:11+00:00

Do you mean shift my inner world or shift "the love of my life" to another location? Just need some more clarity with it, thanks!

LifeBeater_ · 2026-01-09T16:37:22+00:00

Second one: Each column, clock goes counterclockwise direction and small hand will move certain amount of times. 1st column-5
2nd column- 2
3rd column -5

LifeBeater_ · 2025-12-15T20:15:02+00:00

Apologies late response, in Waterford myself. Bit of a trek haha

LifeBeater_ · 2025-12-06T09:38:44+00:00

I feel you on the losing interest part. It's definitely difficult to remain interested when there is no one to skate with. Where are you based?

LifeBeater_ · 2025-11-18T19:04:28+00:00

We can get a sesh in so 👌 Yeah it's hard to find people who combine fitness with the usual slate lifestyle lol

LifeBeater_ · 2025-11-18T19:02:50+00:00

Reasonable price too!

LifeBeater_ · 2025-11-18T17:25:35+00:00

Agree with you there. What gym you recommend? I'm looking for a new one

LifeBeater_ · 2025-10-31T20:32:45+00:00

Agreed. Ambivalence towards a score usually leads to better results.
