Well, I have had some success. My balance is noticeably better, and progress seems to be going faster. I am able to try a variety of different tricks. Currently in the works:
Toe and heelside railstands - I am still working on these. I can get it onto its side easily enough. I can catch it heel side almost 100% of the time. Toe side my balance is still a little off. Now... how long can I stay up there once I'm on. That varies.
Kickflip - I'm trying it. I have yet to land one. My rotation is good, but I either kick the board away from me (too much kick... not enough flick), or I kick it straight down.
Kickback - Easily the coolest looking of the tricks I am trying out. It is wearing out the toe of my shoe at an alarming rate though. I land it maybe 25% of the time. I sometimes kick it behind me, but my rotation is pretty solid and consistent. Just a matter of time before I am comfortable with it.
Boneless - Holy fuck is this terrifying. You step off and the board jumps up at you as if it wants to hit you in the face. I have almost landed it, but I am always going so slow that the board stops and my body doesn't.
I am also working on shuvits and ollies and tictacs and other basics. I am fairly consistent with them, but I want them like second nature.
