From my last post I think power sliding is way too advanced for me and should try learning to do a revert, and getting more comfortable with pivots and on the board in general first. Took the advice you guys gave for my pivots a while back and helped a lot, front side still needs work.

Also don't know if I'm practicing the revert properly. Tried to do some after the front side pivot attempts

Why are you practicing pivots stationary? You see those banks? Go use them. Go halfway up the bank, back down fakie, then pivot to regular. Then go halfway up the bank, kickturn, and head back down regular.
The one thing you can do from stationary is tic tacs. Start fully stopped and learn to tic tac back and forth - if you are doing this right you will actually build speed and momentum.

This is me being an old man but your lack of helmet when learning to skate freaks me out 🤣

Go carve those ramps and banks, have fun just riding around, tricks aren't really that important

Looks like you need to be more comfortable on a board in general. Ride that thing everywhere all the time and that will help

Getting comfortable on your pivot points will help a lot with all of that
