I would guesstimate thats about 3 hours of trying. Next goal is to land properly and to do it fakie without holding the rail

Full honesty: the person in the background asked me why i wasnt training with the railing xD I also didnt think of that myself. but it helped me getting over the fear of jumping back onto the board.

This is awesome. Gotta be honest. My first instinct was that you have to take the fall because that's how I learned to overcome the fear.

But I think that instinct was wrong, and I'm gonna set up something like this for my son. There is plenty of time to deal with the fall after you get the swing of things.

i think i am not the norm tho, since i am a bit older than most beginner skaters. 20 years ago i might had less fear of falling ^^

But i think everyone has their own learning style. Best wishes for your son!
