Stationary and in the dark.
You’re not making it easy for yourself.

standing still is a totally different trick, you’ll still have to change your technique and relearn moving so just skip the still and do it rolling. You got it man!

Thanks guys, I’ll try it rolling along.
See, this is what happens when stationary ‘skateboarding’ is encouraged on the internet.

Haha, learned shuvits stationary and then rolling, think kickflips might be easier rolling though and the point of learning them of course is to do them rolling…
I landed my first ever kickflip today. Stationery on the grass in the garden, contrary to all the (no doubt good) advice on here. Got my first rolling heel flip just over a week ago after learning them stationery during lockdown though, so it is possible to make the change to rolling. Biggest thing for me has been overcoming the self-imposed mental block - I’ve held any form of flip trick in such high regard for such a long time I’d totally psyched myself out.

Get a decent ollie when rolling.
Then kickflips is just that same ollie from the same stance with a flick out the top corner of the nose.
It doesn’t have to be a rushed kick out either.
Where your ankle is kind of bent inwards as you slide your foot up the grip tape during an ollie, when you get to the nose, the flick mainly comes from springing your ankle back to a staright position.
Rolling is easier.
Get that down and you start being able to control not only the height but the speed of the flip.
Used to love a nice popped slowly rotating flip.

We bit the bullet and paid silly money for that nespresso milk frother. Total game changer, have never looked back. Worth every penny.

Give it a rinse.
Too late, I’ve used it to snort a dodgy bag of ket.

Ah man coffee machines.
Bought one that you load the beans in the top, assign number of cups to fill the pot with and let it rip.
Fresh ground and brewed coffee is the best.
Anyone tried cat shit coffee?

Civet cat beans . Yeah once on a show I was working on. Very acidic . If that’s your thing. Not for me.
Was just like a nutty coffee.
Rather nice.
Baracao beans in Philippines are nice and these foraged droppings that contain the beans after being consumed by the civet that ate the cherry seems like a weird idea but the cats pretty much done the hard work.
Very natural and I suppose instant coffee.
Not like the instant we get in a jar.
They drink fek loads of coffee in Sweden.
One of the highest coffee drinking populations.
Anywhere you go has brygg cafe that is free refill.
Skated tonight and landed first nosegrind on a block for ages. Been having a complete mental block about even ollieing into one for ages, but tonight felt different for some reason and landed one. It’s kinda a bit deal, because I think I’m still recovering from sarcoidosis for a couple of years back, and my body is still getting back to normal, and it’s kinda not a big deal, because I used to do them all the time!
Stoked non the less.
