Thanks banman for commenting and giving some insight for all the beginner level skateboarders. I agree totally with you it is all about mind power and everything will be possible..
Great tricks! I agree with Banman... although I think the percentage is more like 70 mental / 30 physical. Training the mind to be fit is super important when pulling off anything intricate.

Skateboarding is 90% mental and 10% physical. Be postive, tell yourself you can, and beieve it!
Remain calm if you're starting to get fustrated trying to land a certain trick. It will only get worse if you let yourself get angry. Take a break from trying that trick and come back to it later.
