In this conversation, Nil and I explore the intricate relationship between movement, creativity, and risk management in sports, particularly skateboarding and acrobatics.

We discuss Nil's journey from skateboarding to strength training, the importance of repetition in mastering skills, and how micro variations in movement can enhance learning and reduce fear.

The dialogue also touches on the significance of naming moves and finding inspiration in unique styles, emphasizing the personal connection to movement and the environment.
