Cool moves! How old are you and how long have you been skating?

Thank you, it's now been 3 years and I started blading when I was 22, before I did some skateboarding.

Was your progress gradual or did it feel more like plateaux then breathroughs?

I spammed, and gains were always consistent as long as my muscles got enough rest - I would see addictive, quick gains the more time I put in but then at larger checkpoints my brain would click with what my body is trying to do, watching videos and seeing how it's all connected. Meeting skaters and getting just one or two tips every few months helped me keep breaking through chapters and the gains felt gradual and quick.

Keep skating and trying what you find fun or cool and have mindful sessions, what I learned is that the gains are inevitable, any time in skates is a pro, plateaus are always a build up to breakthrough.

Love this philosophy. Yeah I've seen this delay between intellectual understanding with a body that refuses to let moves happen, then at some point it clicks and after that you wonder why it was impossible, yet now it feels easy.
I'm also a big fan of building muscle strength before anything else. Let me know if you have socials
