Noob 55 year old | Learned shutdown Coleman slide | 2 hours

Whoa and Hi! So stoked to get my first of many slide skills for downhill skateboarding.

No more fear now of how to stop. Will need to practice on all my various boards, but looking forward to the training.

Mentally, I wanted to stop after semi-bad stand up fall that caused a small laceration to my left forearm-even with elbow pads. I didn’t give myself much time to linger on it and just followed “the process of keep trying/going”.

In the end, instead of focusing on my pain, I focused on making making tighter turns while grabbing the rail. Totally surprised when I got a realization that I could stop.

Thanks for watching.

Shout out to ‪@downhill254skate‬ for the awesome tutorials and volume of guides with in-depth skill knowledge. Thank you.

See you in the next video.
