This whole season I’ve spent getting better on rails, just today I did my first surfaced 360 the front 2. And last season I was lacing 540s with ease. But now I can’t even 360 without landing super backseat and can’t seem to land any jump trick. What should I do to get back in the swing of things

I warm up in the morning by repeatedly doing large 180s, 360s, and zero spins, on the small jumps. I do them in a series of switch and regular as part of the routine. It’s probably all psychological but If I don’t warm up like that, then I can’t really do jump tricks that day or switch 2 on to rails (idk why but I have to do a bunch switch 3s and 180s before I feel comfortable doing switch 2s on)

Welcome to the club lmao, this my thread about using my arms too much. Spent the entire season so far just doing rails and stuff and now I look like absolute shit in the air and can barely get my rotations around despite putting in twice the effort. Used to be able to do 3s and 5s all day long with various grabs and even a couple cork 3s but as I found out this week I guess I just suck now haha.
