Have you realized how mental skateboarding really is? Think about it, if you were to take Rodney Mullen’s brain and put it into your body would you be any better? Heck yeah you would. Now, the muscle memory wouldn’t be there because Rodney’s brain is use to his body but chances are there would be a huge improvement.

I was thinking about this one day when I was having trouble learning a new trick. I don’t even remember what the trick was but I remember not understanding how it could be so easy to some and impossible to others. It is kind of like music, some people have the ability to play and others do not.

The cool thing about this is that if you do have even a little talent there is nothing to keep you from learning the hardest of tricks. Its not like you need to run faster or jump higher, you just have to think about what needs to be done and why you aren’t doing it.

Remember a trick isn’t a trick just because it has a name, some of the coolest maneuvers come straight from the mind of creative riders.

Skateboarding is art in motion.
