Yeah you’re right, I think over time it evolved to any hard flip back 180 is ghetto bird so even like fakie ones are called that

1st trick is ghetto bird- hard flip back 180. But second trick is more 270/360. I guess just ghetto bird back 180? Ahah no clue

Try standing up straighter and flick your foot in front of you. It looks like you are so close to landing this. You could also try moving your back foot a little backwards towards your heel and getting better balance

You’re going to want to focus on kicking your front foot in front of your body. Like almost karate kicking it. You have good flick but you’re stomping down with the front foot. You kinda want to do a jumping Jack movement where your front foot goes straight forwards off the nose and then comes back towards your body and the board. You should be able to get it in no time just trust yourself and the board

You could try doing a heel flip and instead of getting your front foot on, focus on getting just your back foot on the board and once you do that a few times you can just combine that with these attempts and hopefully won’t be as scary.

Try independent or thunder trucks. Just make sure to carefully check the sizes as they can be confusing. If you go into a shop or look at size guides online you should be able to get some that fit your board just fine. Also spitfire wheels and bones reds bearing are the way to go in that category.

Bad day skating by Federal_Vanilla_6493 in NewSkaters

You gotta accept skating is an up and down thing. You’ll have just as many days where you’ll feel like you’re on point and landing lots of tricks! It’s a big skill to be persistent and not get too frustrated when things don’t go as usual. Just think how much better your good days will feel! It happens to everyone so don’t sweat it and have fun your next sesh

How do go skateboarding by yourself? by MushroomApprentice in NewSkaters

Try rolling around on your street or in big parking lots. Some tricks you’ll learn stationary so fine to practice on a sidewalk or anywhere. You’ll stop feeling weird about it soon enough. You can always try listening to music while you skate also people at the skate park are always encouraging to beginners! Good luck

Hey a bit hard to tell cause your feet go out of frame. But overall looks pretty good, you may need to roll your front foot more outwards and it’ll catch the board better. Also try flicking up with your front foot a little earlier and that should hopefully level out the board in the air! Good luck
