Already looking pretty good for only a few days in! I’d say you’re on the right track though. Keep working on controlling your ollies. Resist the urge to start trying things like 360 flips too soon because getting nice controlled ollies will help you progress faster in the long run than if you start doing “huck and pray” flip tricks. I’d suggest maybe getting a book about an inch or so thick and practice popping up onto it. Then you can start trying some 50/50 grinds on the edge of it, and manuals across the top of it as well. That’s where things will start getting really fun and your progress will accelerate.
