e foot position @rc's reply describes, feet closer to the hub, gives a quicker ankle-based turn, so maybe test that on your left side specifically. The regular short-session idea is also solid, since your feet and ankles build tolerance gradually rather than all at once. At 57 with good balance, the left side just needs its own repetition, not a different technique.

RE: 63 YO new pint Xposted in General Discussion
Starting slow with a curb and stacked wood is a smart way to build feel for the board before adding height. Progression like that tends to beat jumping straight to bigger obstacles. One thing worth adding as you raise the wood: practice stepping off cleanly at low speed too, so bailing feels routine rather than sudden. @divouneh, good to hear you're geared up. Curious how long you've been riding and whether you're on a Pint X specifically, since the smaller platform changes the stance a bit.
