Yeah, stop skateboarding.

All it takes is practise.

Skating oldfag checking in. I could give you very specific advice if you listed your stats--height, weight, shoe size, board set up and time spent on the board so far.

As far as generic advice goes, look for a pro skater your height without about your build and look at what he's good at. Taller, stronger, relatively athletic guys should model themselves after someone like Reese Forbes who can ollie really high and skate really fast.

If you're medium size and kinda muscular, look at someone like Sean Sheffey. Shef is kind of a thicker guy (at least, for a skater) known for having really strong legs, which aid one in grinding gnarly shit. At the same time, he still has small feet and is good at flip tricks.

Shorter, skinnier guys have more options for tech stuff. Skateboarding is like figure skating in a lot of ways--the smaller you are, the better you will be at the more technical aspects of it. Try to model yourself after someone like Guy Mariano or Daewon if you're smaller with small feet (those help a lot on flip in, flip out stuff).

Keep shredding

if you started after youre 18 years old its too late and your a man child. if youve skated through high school and after 18 then youre still a manchild but at least you dont suck
