The four-dimensional thing is better than any explanation I can offer... as a skater, with skating things at least. It doesn't translate to other things at all

The four-dimensional thing is better than any explanation I can offer... as a skater, with skating things at least.
It doesn't translate to other things at all for me, but this was the most active thing I ever did...
I can watch Rodney Mullen do things I could never physically do, but 'feel' things you wouldn't expect. Examples would be where I'd put my weight, where the board would be pushing back, and how much I should lean forward/back to not slip
It's kind of like when zoning out while driving, in some ways. You go through the motions because you've done all the various pieces before. A kickflip is an ollie with a slide to the side, for example
But, because this process is new, it does take a lot of trial/focus. You get a good idea, but... theory/practice

I am still trying to recover from it. Once, I ll be there, I want to never forget them again, or at least having a solid proof I perfected it once in my life.
