Hi Roger, what stands out to me is that there's a lot of movement going on in your upper body but the board is not really reacting that much. Maybe try slowing it all down and leaning a bit more too instead of twisting so much. It also seems to me that your legs are quite locked. A bit of skating would probably really help. Have you ever tried it?

Giles Oatley do you really think so or are you just giving yourself a reason not to go? (Sorry, bit of tough love).
Just go for it. Nobody is going to mind you being there as long as you're actually trying. The skateboarding community are some of the nicest and constructive people you'll ever meet. They'll genuinely be happy to see you progress.
If you go first thing in the morning you should also be able to beat the crowd.
