㉛episode    Switch ollie(3)           SK8-60

 I've always had the impression that my switch stance isn't as smooth as I expected, but I'd like to finally start playing the switch ollie. I know the basics of the ollie, but since I have to do it in a reverse stance, I have no confidence in my timing or aerial posture. Because, as I mentioned before, I'm not ambidextrous, just a clumsy right-handed person. I also find it difficult and unstable to lift myself off the skateboard in the switch stance. I'm more scared than I imagined of the nose of the skateboard coming up if I step on the tail too far and lose my balance. I was practicing stepping on the tail of the skateboard with my back foot and pushing it with my front foot to bring it down to the ground, but it was difficult to respond well to the nose of the skateboard coming up. I can't move my front legs instantly. Hell, I find it unimaginably difficult to lift my body into the air in the switch stance. From now on, I think the switch stance on the skateboard will only become more dangerous. Since the switch stance is a reverse stance, I am concerned about how well the motor nerves and reflexes function.

I tried my best to practice the switch ollie, but as expected, I failed. Only my enthusiasm was just jumping. I wanted to get some kind of response, but I couldn't. I once again realized how difficult it is to maintain a sense of balance in the switch stance. I started practicing the switch ollie and wanting to used to the switch stance. And I'm also practicing to be able to play the switch ollie little by little. I took a small step toward the most difficult switch ollie.・・・・・・・Will I be able to do it someday?
