For my 33rd birthday, I decided to do what I always tell you guys to do if you want real progression—set a goal that’s a little scary, then battle it out until you earn it. In this video I challenged myself to land 33 tricks, mixing in some of my favorite go-to’s and some of my harder “I know this is gonna take work” tricks. It’s not just a highlight reel either—you’ll see the tries, the resets, and the mindset shifts that happen when you’re chasing a number and the clock is basically your opponent. I hit up a bunch of my local spots—Pennsauken, Cherry Hill, Camden, and Ann Van skateparks—so the session keeps changing with different obstacles, different lines, and different energy at each park. The big takeaway is simple: progression isn’t magic, it’s reps. If you’re trying to level up in skating (or BMX, skimboarding, snowskating—whatever you’re on), this is a solid example of how I structure a challenge, stay moving, and keep the stoke high even when I’m battling.
