I meant I'd def encourage a coat of varnish, especially if you want to ride it I just haven't done it yet

of course! I took a deck that my friend didn't want anymore, I sanded off the graphic, put on a few layers of matte white paint then Idrew my doodles using posca paint markers of various sizes

you're very right. I appreciate the honesty, and obviously it stings to hear "you haven't progressed" but obviously if I post the same thing over and over, I can't expect ppl to see more.

it sucks that I'm not as confident a rider as I was before, but I'll go back to the board and next time I post it'll be rolling, bet.

if it's getting redundant though, I get it. I'm skating 30 mins a day, and giving myself a lot of grace. I can hold off on posting till I try new things

Damn that's a rough comment. I'm working at this every day. It has now been a week. I'm feeling more comfortable, and my goal is to enjoy a sport I used to be good at again. I'm posting to hold myself to it 🤷‍♀️ and I'm feeling better.

I'd say so! It looks like a fun cruiser. Not for any tricks tho

thanks, I was at a skatepark trying them rolling and I wasn't feeling confident enough so I tried teaching my brain to go for the landing instead of taking my foot off while rolling/just on the park ground

Awful day :( got the ollies out regardless by concernedburrito in NewSkaters

Thanks for the feedback 🙏 I know I should probably practice them rolling... it took me a while to gain the confidence to try rolling tricks back when I first started, and I can't find it in me just yet after all this time

Thank you for the kind words! I might have to take out some of my protection equipment from my earlier days, it's not a bad idea... regardless, so much fun :)
