What Do You Just Fucking Suck At? (hexbear.net)

Keep it light plz. For example, I am terrible terrible bowler. Just absolutely piss poor even compared to equally casual people, any time there's been some kinda get together involving bowling I have come in last by a huge huge margin. I need the bumpers. I can bowl a perfect game in wii sports tho.

FPS games as well, not really a fan and have never ever been able to hack it at them. After graphics got good enough I didn't find the perspective disorienting team sticks became the norm and I'm left handed so that was a weird thing to adjust to for me and by then it was 360 era CoD time and I wanted nothing to do with it and would just die 4 seconds into each spawn anyway.

Ollies are hard as hell. I was pretty good at skating when I was younger and did it more and I couldn't really Ollie 2 months in either, I learned some freestyle tricks on the side as well as bonelesses and some other non Ollie based things and just did some cruising around, I ollied later but has better board control and more tricks than my friends at the same time cause I wasn't just grinding out ollied until I got mad. I wouldn't get too down about it in general, skateboarding is really really really difficult, easily the hardest thing I've ever been decent at.

I think I was just so focused on trying to do one of the most basic tricks that I lost sight of the fun lol. I could ride around okay, but I really wish I didn't have to get off my board to get up curbs! And I wasn't very good at turning sharp either. I can't believe I was trying to use it as a regular mode of transport at one point lol.

That's the thing with ollies, they aren't basic at all as far as difficulty but it's so fundamental to modern skating.its a huge hurdle right at the start
