im going to tell you right now i havent advanced far enough to do sets
or gaps on my uni... but i can tell you that i skateboarded for over a
decade. if that matters.
what i would recommend doing before going big is ask yourself why youre
doing it? are you filming it? what is the point of taking the risk to
your body other than to feel good afterwords if you are sucessful.
now once youve decided to actually follow through... take a few minutes
to visualize yourself completing the task at hand.. from the approach
to after the impact.. take the time to think this all through... then
do it without the cycle.. literally run and jump it. that way you know
the impact youre expecting.
the reason i want you to question yourself is because ive seen alot of
friends get hurt really really badly doing things without taking
precautions. one of my friends was one of the best skateboarders in my
metro area and one night he fell over on his head. he seemed fine when
i drove him home and apparently he collapsed at the bottom of his
stairs shortly after he got home.. to this day 10 years later he still
doesnt skate anymore. hes had to take up a new hobby.
just be smart.. wear a helmet..
