One piece of advice when struggling to land a trick

When I was learning the tiger claw I kept messing up. Smacking myself in the ankles. ouch! So what I do is go do a trick or slide that uses the same muscles.

And not think about the trick that’s bad luck. Then casually come back to it. But don’t think just do it.
