nice! if you waited half a second before kickturning it will look a lot cleaner and feel less sketchy. you're basically turning instantly before your momentum shifts which is why you were a little unbalanced on the way down. look at this for reference: [VIDEO]
Ah that's too bad, that's often the case outside of big cities. She's clearly not scared of going down big ramps so I'm sure she can still do just fine at this park! To give more specific advice, I would begin working on backside kick turns because those are essential to comfortably riding around the park. Here's a tutorial, this guy's channel is great: [VIDEO]
Kickturn on a ramp. I think this is an essential and takes a few months to get a confident clean kickturn which can be used anywhere. Doesn't need to be a quarter pipe or anything fancy, a bank will do. Also rolling up and down a ramp fakie. [VIDEO]
Hmm that idk, they probably would be more likely to stick than skid but I don't really think you'd want them to skid if you're kickturning on a ramp anyway. This might be a good tutorial for starting to try kickturning on ramps [VIDEO]
