Committing to Your Tricks

Author: FlyingDownTheRail

Like many kids who grew up in the 90s, I went through a stint where my skateboard and I were inseparable. I certainly wasn’t a skateboarding savant by any stretch of the imagination, but I had a considerable arsenal of basic tricks. And while my skateboarding ambitions quickly fizzled, I can still recall long days spent trying to master a new trick.

Every skateboarder has indubitably heard litanies of skateboarding trick tips, and I’m no different. The one hint that helped me in learning every trick I landed—and has even transcended into other areas of my life—is to go all out. In skateboarding, as in many other endeavors, if you aren’t fully committed to what you are attempting, you are almost certainly bound to fail.
