| 289761 | 16537 | Learning to accept that you don't rip | 41 | Chilly Willy | Aug 15, 2023 | 2023-08-15T08:49:45-0400 | mightyrime said: i probably could have skipped the essay and just said " no i have not fully accepted it yet" Click to expand... Totally glad you wrote the essay because it was a good read and I was right there with you. Excellent point about control -- if you think about it, all board sports are really about exactly that, demonstrating their board control. The guys that totally rip can make their board do anything they want. There are even some guys who rip but look like they're on the edge of out of control (Al Knost), but their actual board control is still completely on point. Also a great point about the kick out. It's easily overlooked but I think having a solid kick out is one of the easiest ways to look like you know what you're doing. |
