    i thought they were eaisier than hickflips, you dont have to flik as
    fast, just ride at a decent speed and lean a little bit toward your
    leaning foot and jump as high as yhou can

    once i get these on film its backflip time...

    I wasnt saying there hard, I found it pretty easy to land. Like I said
    I landed one first try, rolling in-to-in and it was easy, I think I
    could easily land another in like 5 mins but its wet here and I have to
    do work.
    So you landed them?

    How long have you been riding for spoonthumb? There hasnt been a
    callout for a while, I am making a new vid to celebrate having been
    riding for a year and as it wouldn't be too hard to do I could easily
    make it a callout.

    ten months in a week, i know you dont think their hard marcus,
    everything easy for you😉 i was just saying that i think their easier
    than hicks, i still only land hicks maybe 50 percent of the time but
    these are alot more consistant...

    Ok cool.

    I dont find everything easy, when learning new tricks its rarly
    anything like easy, I normaly end up hurting myself pretty bad but I
    grit my teeth, use the pain to fucus myself and most importinatly learn
    from my mistakes. The more I fail the greater my determination grows. I
    like to push myself and I love riding. When I get hurt I pick myself
    back up again and land the trick/line I failed on when you finaly land
    the trick the pain always seems to go away and its always worth it.

    i agree there is always a mental aspect of commiting yourself to the
    trick and it seems you have got that down, i on the other hand have
    not, i believe thats all thats holding me back from 540s i land them
    sometimes maybe 1 outa 50 tries but i think its just focusing yourself
    and commiting to landing the trick...

    Yea comitment is key to landing anything, when it comes to sets and
    riding 6ft high skinny I find it hard to block out the aspect of fear
    but I picture myself landing it and focus on the trick, ignoring the
    dangers or what can go wrong, once I land it once I am fine. If you
    start thinking of what could go wrong and picture yourself failing you
    stand almost no chance of succeding. There is a fence that is about 6ft
    high and 3 inches wide, I can easily ride a skinny that wide if it was
    at ground level but it took alot for me to ride the fence, I kept
    telling myself that I could do it and that it was realy wide and that
    was what made it for me, that was tough.
