I'm 24 years old and I bought a skateboard last week for the first time in about a decade. My ollies were rusty as fuck but I've managed to go from landing none at all to landing maybe 1 in 10 attempts at an ollie. My balance also really sucked at first and I fell down hard in the first 2 minutes of getting on the board and really hurt my hip, but after about a week or so it feels better now.
My question is; what is a good route of progression for a new skater? I'm going to continue practising my ollies and spending some time going back and forth in the quarter pipe to help my balance, but where do I go from here? When I skated as a kid I could never do more than an ollie, so I'm not sure where to go next.
Do I try and practice a board slide, or maybe try and practice some of the easier and more simple flip tricks? (And which tricks would that be?)

Are there actually any skaters on /asp/ or am I in the wrong place? I don't watch wrestling so I've never really been here before.

you are in the correct place but all the cool kids are asleep right now.

search "esg" or "eternal skateboarding general" to find the threads in the future
this is a learning gradient for tricks suggested by a youtube tutorial channel braille. i wouldn't follow it religiously, some tricks are just going to be very natural to learn as opposed to other. just gives you a good idea of some easy flatground basics and their relative difficulty.
