| So, I called my local park for poops and giggles to see if i could get a job as a skate instructor there. The guy tells me to go there tomorrow so he can see what I can do. I'm like super nervous b/c I really want this job! I've always been a good skate teacher, and a good amount of those i tech usually end up getting better than myself. I know im right for the job. Problem is, I have a bit of trouble with some of the very basics. I always have. For Example, I cant pop shuvit or backside 180. However, I can switch pop perfectly, and switch back 180 really nice. I cant tre, but i can nollie tre... But, I've even taught people how to tre flip, and they do em perfectly. so i dont know what imma do if he tells me to do a simple pop shvit :p Ive been to the park twice only, so I dont have all that much flow there.
tips? |

| The skateboarder who is supposedly going to give advice to other skateboarders is asking for advice himself. |

| Is it bad to ask for advice if you are not completely confident on something? I'm pretty sure someone whose been skating for 8 years can teach a whole bunch to a kid whose been skating for a month. I'm not nervous about actually teaching kids, because like I've said, I've taught kids how to tre, and I can't do them. I'm jist nervous about the "interview" that I have to skate in. It's hard for me to do tricks under that sort of pressure. Thanks Noel and Ironfingers! I'll see how it plays out today. EDIT i got the job! |

| It's probably best to be confident and have a buttload of tricks in your swag bag.
Who want's to learn a trick from someone that can't do it? |
