I had that issue, could ollie and pop shuvit on flat ground, drop in on ramps, but anything approaching a curb spooked me. I switched to mountain biking and found a deal on a full suspension diamondback 27’’ bike that gave me a lot more confidence over my 26’’ hardtail and now I’m sending it off jumps flanked by teenagers on REI bikes and boomers with electric assist bikes that cost more than my car.

It has the added benefit that dirt usually hurts less to fall on. I still miss practicing skating though, the feeling of landing something you’ve been working on and the supportive range of people at the park is unmatched. I still wanna get back into it when I hear this song
