I recently noticed that I've been becoming more inconsistent at fingerboarding and worse than I was say 6 months ago. Does anyone else get times like this?

I suck at fingerboarding compared to 6-7 years ago.

im currently in a slump myself~

I just sit down and can't even do kickflips for 4 tries, whereas, I used to be able to get them more or less every time :/

yea i just went through that, got bored with fb and didnt sesh much for awhile, try new things and get inspired.

Yeah I feel it too. Not as much as having a hard time setting treflips and stuff but I can totally feel how I was much better like a year ago. I lost some skills because for the last half year I haven't been fingerboarding just as much as I used to so the skils kinda disappear slowly. I'm getting my sick trick skills back tho  

hmm, kinda i guess. Some days are good some days are bad for me

gotta get inspired. ive notices watching old really sick fb vids inspires me to do new stuff. also i noticed if i dont fb for a while (ex. vacay w out setup) i start to loose skill

Yeah i feel the same way =/, i need some new gear to get me goin again. i can still do most tricks, but not verations anymore.

Agreed, when i watch my friends killing it or like someone like Jay L do shit nobody has every even though about trying is definitely a huge inspiration for me to keep having fun and being as creative as i can.

i wasn't never able to do so hard technical stuff i don't know why, sometimes i had luck and landed a combo with more than one flip
and now i just copy tricks i see in videos for example the parts of louie barletta are so much inspiration for me

I'm at least twice as bad as I was at fingerboarding 3 years ago. I'm just too lazy to learn new stuff.

this is a lie. james always rips, as you'll all see very soon...

Yeah, watched a shit loads of videos this weekend and reset up probably my most favourite ever deck and I'm motivated now

im the same always

Same thing with me. Except for the past 2 years lol..

i am like not so active since about half a year

Yeah I used to be 10× more consistent than now, but now I have more tricks down and a better style so I think it pays off

Lately I've been in a very busy slump where I can't get online to talk to the homies and can't fb as much.. The meetup I just went to got me stoked for it again though, and getting new stuff is always a fun thing. The thing that has kinda bummed me out lately is getting one of my setups stolen at the meetup, though, so, it kinda evens out to me just enjoying it but not being stoked about it I guess, idk. I find that I never start to suck at fbing though, like, I'm always consistent, but sometimes I have brain farts in creativity where all I can think of is tre flip in to crook or something generic like that.
