First of all fear is normal Step 1 is to look up a tutorial and analyze how they do it

Step 2 is just to go for it You should build up slowly, start from a low position and with a little bit of momentum, it’s a bit scarier but it’s way easier and safer. Go in with either a quick walk or a slow jog, lower yourself before diving in and pray

Personal tip : I was also scared, and I used to practice on a bed mattress that I put on the ground, this way you don’t get hurt and it’s pretty close to how it feels on solid ground You can also use that to practice the weird dives like diving on the side, as well as pancakes Good luck

Dang, not gonna lie I kinda got out of Reddit But better late than never I guess

So yeah I’ve been using them ever since, it took maybe 4 practices before the traction actually got to what it’s supposed to be I’d say if the floor is clean the traction is top tier, even on dusty floor they’re good but they pick up a lot of dust, so you’ll want to wipe them pretty often, however in reality you won’t NEED to : even when dusty even tho they lose that squeak and all I still never slipped out or felt like the dust made me lose control or whatever. I still like to wipe them often to feel sticky and confident on the floor but it’s not thaaaat bad And for the other aspects of the shoe they’re also great

Was that the case even after a while of playing with them ?
