Fear will always be a part of skating and instead of expecting it to disappear, it makes a lot more sense to learn how to manage it and how to make shit happen even when you're feeling scared. The cliché is that skating is 90% mental, and that's probably about 75% true. Meaning there isn't a percentage, but, working on your mental game is a HUGE part of skating. The techniques I share in this video are just a few of maaany different options.

This video is a combination of footage that never came out, filmed between around 2018-2022 (excluding one or two more recent clips). Most was filmed for a project that ended up not happening, and as my friend Dmitry, who I'm filming a proper part with at the moment is real picky, he told me we can't use any of this footage haha. To be honest, I'm pleased he said that because his quality of filming is just so much better, and by him raising the bar, the real part that will drop in the not too distant future is going to be so much better. The OG deadline for that part was start of 2026, but due to a recent ankle sprain it's getting pushed back a bit. That's also why I'm dropping this now - to make me feel like I'm doing something skate related whilst I can't skate haha. Hope I didn't cross the line with the song choice and you can hold on to the end 😂 Thanks to everyone that's filmed and for the good times on these sessions 🙏🙏 Main filmer: Cesar Venturi Additional clips from: Martin Patea Andres Demalgusto

Any skater’s biggest fear is often not being able to skate, and as a result injuries can easily throw us into a real negative state. In this video I drop 4 different methods to handle the mental side of injuries. Yes, injuries and time off from skating is challenging, but there are certain techniques and methods that can make it more manageable. Even flipping it into something positive. These are some techniques that have helped me and some I use with the skaters I coach.

Yes, skating is about producing a huge amount of tension and power to do tricks, but that HAS to be balanced with relaxation and a drop in tension. Any movement you do is a balance between these two - flex your elbow and your bicep contracts, but your tricep relaxes. Flex your knee and your quads contract, whilst the hamstrings relax. Holding too much tension or tension where you don’t want it will almost certainly negatively affect your skating. The best skaters in the world know when and how to be powerful AND relax. If you saw my post last week on Aimu, he’s the perfect example - beast level power, but so loose at the same time. Tension can build up when we skate for many different reasons, but the old “shake ‘n’ wobble” is a surprisingly effective way to release it during a session. Other ways to work on that tension are: Just skating a LOT - which helps you figure out more efficient ways to move. Just think how tense your Ollie felt in month one of skating in comparison to now. Resistance training can also be a huge player, as it has similar effects to skating, regarding improving the efficiency of your movement patterns. Fear and anxiety also create tension. This is a big one that can be influenced from everything from your skill level to the environment you skate in. Check my post from a couple of weeks ago for some steps to work on fear using the “progression method”. Share this with someone who might find it valuable, and go give the shake ‘n’ wobble a try and let me know how you get on! #skateforever #skateboardtraining #skateboardingafter30 #skateboardingworkout

@aimu_yamazuki came onto the scene and just blew everyone’s mind. The way he skates is so unique, he pretty much got legend status overnight. You just need to watch one clip of him kickflipping on flat to realise he has something special. Like I said in the video, a few areas that give him his unique style are: - His insane range of motion - He’s explosive: gets his pop from both jumping high and speed he flexes his hips - He has fun, which often means less tension in the body and better movement - He’s skated since a very young age, developed efficient movement patterns and as a result moves very little when he skates Even though you can’t get back the years you didn’t skate and your range of motion has physical limitations, you can almost certainly improve in all of these areas with the right approach, a good training program, along with skating frequently.

If your training is getting in the way of your skating, you’ve got the wrong approach. Building the habit of training is legit one of the most powerful tools you have to feel better, both on and off your board, and especially as you age. It should support your skating, and with the right approach it absolutely can. Yes, on the occasion you’ll push it too hard, you’ll get too sore you’ll have to miss a skate. But you’ll likely do the same with skating more frequently - skating so hard you have to skip a session. By learning how to regulate your training so it supports your skating and doesn’t get in the way of it, you should actually be able to skate more and handle more. It’s all about building resilience progressively and consistently, so you’re better prepared for what skating throws at you. If you go so hard in the gym you’re always feeling sore and under-recovered, you won’t be progressively building that resilience. With this approach, it’s understandable your skating will suffer, as will your progress in the gym. So rewire that limiting belief from “training leaves me too sore to skate”, to “with the right approach, training helps me skate and feel better!” And if you want help with this, click here and let's chat! forms.gle/LddWMibWRUqc3RCY6

Shout out to @altered_state505 for winning the battle challenge and to everyone else in The Daily Push coaching crew that participated!! Do you still battle tricks like you used to when you were younger? I mean, like, really battle them - putting in thousands of attempts a month to figure a trick out? Like you did when you learned to kickflip. Or do you try a few times one session, leave a couple of weeks break before trying it again, and repeat that cycle for months? So many skaters I chat to do this, myself included. But the problem with this approach isn’t just that you haven’t actually battled the trick enough to learn it, it’s that it’s deluded you into thinking you’ve worked on it, and even worse left you thinking that it’s something you “just can’t learn” or “are not very good at”. It’s left you with a fixed mindset that you can’t get better at the trick. When in reality, you just never really tried. You know what else is true? You can learn the trick. And you can get better at it. You’ve just got to do what you did when you were younger - battle! Battle and start believing in the value of effort again. Because with every bail, you’re on the way to figuring it out. The bails are an essential, unavoidable part of the journey. As you do this, I’d recommend starting to film yourself and reviewing your clips to figure out what you can work on. The skaters in The Daily Push coaching community share clips each week that I review on the weekly group calls. These review sessions are often a huge help and they make a lot of progress from just one review. So whack the phone down and give it a go!

Yeah Right! Taken from my latest “How to build strong & resilient knees for skating” YouTube vid, inspired by one of the most legendary videos of all time @girlskateboards Yeah Right. I must have watched this video 6324 times as a kid and it HEAVILY inspired my skating and life in general. From watching it to get hyped for a session, to pausing clips to learn tricks. Walking to school listening to the soundtrack I’d downloaded from Limewire and ripped onto my mini-disc player, to wanting to skate and dress like the legends in the video, such as @prod I know every generation thinks their generation is the best, but this is different, because Yeah Right era was objectively the best!! Nah, but there was something special about the pre-Instagram era of skateboarding. At least for me, I valued the details more. Don’t get me wrong, I still love to actually skate as much as I did on day 1 (24 years ago!). But in recent years, I haven’t valued any video in the same way as I did back then and to be honest, haven’t built a deep connection to many new brands like I used to. Nowadays, there’s prob more new clips that get uploaded to IG in one day than all the footage that came out from 2000-2010. And full-lengths just aren’t prioritised by brands or individual skaters any more. I literally watch the most insane part I’ve ever seen, think “damn that was sick!”, and move onto the next. Back in the days, I would stop to invest energy into deeply appreciating a video, going back to watch it over and over - often discovering more details every time. Appreciation is a powerful energy that has a powerful influence on your body and mind. The more you appreciate, the more you program yourself to recognise more stuff to appreciate. Luckily, what I appreciate and value is my choice. It will likely take more energy to start appreciating the details again, but I imagine doing so would be more beneficial for most of us and the industry as a whole. Even if having less clips mean people learn tricks a bit slower. So that’s it, rant over. Thanks to Girl Yeah Right and all the other videos from that era. I’m gunna start trying to appreciate and value the details again.
