I'd have to say, hitting the new trick for the very first time after 100 tries is VERY satisfying. Frustrating: When you realize the trick you want to learn requires another trick you don't know which in turn requires yet another trick you don't know.

Satisfying; Getting the trick that opens up new combo ideas and hybrids. Frustrating; When I practice a trick for a week, then realize that trick is too advanced for a beginner like me.

Quick background: I'm in 8th grade and take geometry so for 1 period I go to the high school. There are only 9 of us, and everyone else in the team grade has the same algebra 1 teacher. I have geometry the same time as class of algebra. Satisfying: The algebra 1 teacher is hosting a pen spinning competition during her class periods and I want to enter and everyone else except me and my friend can only do charges and thumbarounds and suck. Frustrating: Remembering that I'm one of the kids in 8th grade geometry class instead of algebra 1 so I don't have her as a teacher. Satisfying: Finding out that conveniently, since geometry is at the high school and the schedule was reversed there just for today, I go to geometry at the end of the end instead of the beginning and have a free period in the middle school. During that free period, I can hopefully enter the competition with my friends even though I'm not part of the class, hoping that she'll understand I'll be there for about 5 minutes for it. Then I practice a combo for hours. Frustrating: She tells me that I can't because I'm not part of her class AFTER i practiced for so long...
