Can you lose the "skill"?
« on: Mar 24, 2008, 03:52: PM »
Ok.. i have like you know my "spot" to practice (some place in the park next to my house :biggrin:), and i have been practicing there for about 1 year or something... but i have realised lately that i can´t do the same tricks or combos there and i feel so tired.. and when i meet some friends in some other places or parks to practice i can do almost everything that i want to.. or even when i go to another place in the park i can do some great combos and i feel great :rolleyes:

so.. have you felt the same thing? any opinions or something?  :biggrin:

its all in the mind, mate
if you have skills you will never "lose" them, you may become rusty for lack of practice, but if someone has skills they will always have them

I usually practice at the same place aswell and sometimes at other places I can do better but I don't think the places themselves have anything to do with it
Maybe it's just because you don't remember all the good stuff you've done at the regular place since you're there so often
Fx blesses himself before a patw combo, Tiernan blesses himself before a neck to sole transition.... but hey thats next generation :rolleyes:
I was going to be there...but now I'm not going to be there

when i have time, and the weather is good i go to diffirent places, i think that one place become boring and it mess up with your concretation, but if u choose some new place, u are like 'newcomer' and want to show your best skills in that place...........well my opinion

you can also just be 'out of shape' or have too high expectations. when you do an awesome combo you cant expect that you will be able to do it everytime you try

Wow, I was thinking about this recently, because I just started freestyling again, and I tried to do certain moves and now I can barely do them..

if you have skills you will never "lose" them, you may become rusty for lack of practice, but if someone has skills they will always have them

thats not true, one of the principles of training, is known as reversability. This is when, if you take a break or stop doing a certain thing, you reverability effect will take place where you lose skill youve been practising. This can occur in little then 3 or so days.
