You're saying basiclly, "I can't write I only can write 12 letters of the alphabet." WHAT ARE THOSE 12 LETTERS.

My point is, you're not being specific enough with, I can only land with one foot.

Usually whenever you can only land something with one foot, it's a commitment problem. Just force yourself to land both feet on it. Or if you feel more confrotable, you can try landing it with the foot that usually ends up on the ground. That helped me a lot with pop shovits. I know it's a different trick, but commitment is commitment.

I think that is TOTALLY untrue..

Actually, the exact opposite..

When I can't land a trick I just do another one.. When I come back to it, I don't think about what to do, maybe the foot positioning, but definitly NOT a commitment.. Especially on stairs.. They just come.
