Level of how good I should be ? Like what tricks I
Should have down . Is there things you think
That I should have dialed

As long as you're still having fun, you're doing it right.

Tricks don't matter. Just ride.

Everyone learns at their own pace. I know people who've been riding over 5 years & still haven't mastered 180s, also know kids who've been riding weeks & are already almost getting flyout 360s. Ride at your own pace, for fun, not to be the best & have the largest trick list

No as long as you have fun it doesn't matter what tricks you can do. Plus in my book its not what trick but how you ride, style is way better than 180 barspins and tailwhips that you see a lot of the pros doing.

This.

14 years for me and some locals have a lot of tricks I either can't, won't or cannot do anymore pretty dialed. But on that same token, I can do some things they cannot.

Funny part is, when kids talk about tricks, chances are good I did them like 10 years ago, and just quit doing them for one reason or another.
