26 year old 10 months in flatground skateboarding progress report

I skated for a year or two when I was 11-13, learnt how to ollie, but don't remember ever doing it off of, onto or over anything mostly just used the board to get around. I moved to the countryside and stopped skating till July last year when I bought a cruiserboard to motivate me to leave the house and get around faster, immediatley relearnt to ollie within a few days and got a regular board and learnt to shuv it consistently within a couple of months.
Also I don't know why I only recorded 1 pop shuv it when it's probably my best trick and the one I've been practicing the most!
the thumbnail not being flatground is peak ironic humour fight me

Keep up the good work man! Just started and still working on a moving ollie. Love to see the progress you made in just 10 months, it’s motivating!

Great vid! I wanted to ask, are you right footed or left? Cant seem to choose wether im a goofy skater or regular

[@Anstarzius]

Thank you! I'm right footed and I'm a goofy skater (I don't think there's a guaranteed correlation though, my friend is also right footed but skates regular), my left foot is my back foot and my right foot is my front foot. If you try pushing around one of them should just feel a little easier at the start, it won't hurt to learn switch from the start though if you find yourself wanting to switch stance a lot. I can't push switch at all and to get into fakie or switch I push off mongo (meaning I step on with my backfoot first then push with my front foot, then step into switch/fakie foot positioning).

It honestly does not matter which foot is the dominant when it comes to choosing your stance, just pick the stance you feel most confortable riding. However, do make sure to stick to it once you choose it, as it will help you progress faster and more consistently, then a bit later on you can start doing switch stuff as you get confortable on that board. I'm personally right footed and skate regs, which I feel made it easier for me to have more pop, but on the other hand, learning heelflips took me a bunch of time since the flick is with my non dominant leg.
