I dunno if it's just me, but most lone skaters will come up to me and talk to me, or ask for help etc :) I think most skaters will be happy to talk and skate with anyone else, so if there's others there, just say hi the first time, or have a quick chat and then leave it there until next time, remember they are (usually) there to skate not chat lol, but it's a starting point :) If you're more asking about how to motivate yourself, or feel confident, or just skate on your own... I find sticking to your usual tricks for a warm up, as landing these will show you where your body and mind are at. If one of them is not right, you'll struggle with the tricks, if you land them all first try, that's your day to be trying new stuff! :) Aim to learn, or start learning 1 new trick per skate session. Doesn't matter if it's rolling off a curb, pushing switch, or tre flip down 15 sets lol, whatever you want to learn :)

@David Young I'm with you on the small talk! Don't understand it, don't want it 😂 but if it's skating related I'll be joining in haha!

Where's this park? :)

Myself and a skater we sponsor did this on Thursday, we went to adrenaline Alley :) Can't wait for the summer so we can do trips to outdoor parks a few days a week again! :)

@Ian Harvey the first skatepark I ever skated was Devonshire Green in Sheffield... The ramps there are about the same size, maybe a little bigger! It was scary as hell! But there are ways to use those ramps without being scared and build yourself up to riding them with ease :) Happy to give you pointers if you'd like :)

@Ian Harvey haha fair! Hitting the ground is good for you too! Teaches you how to take the impact and be less scared of doing it again 😂

The coolest sounding word would be revanant! Has ghostly connotations lol, but it's not a requirement 😂
