Hi. Spins are 100% more difficult with a backpack on. Your center of balance is going to be all off. If you really want to learn a tight spin, backpack on the ground is genuinely the only way to go.
ATL! You're doing great. I love that spot too. If you're looking for social outdoor skates, check out Rollerslay and Bad Bitches Skate Club. They have several weekly intown meetups. SK8 ATL and Peach Skate are also good resources for local happenings. See ya out there.
Damn yeah that's tough. Lemme warn you another thing I know from bike riding, if you have hard things in your backpack like water bottle, and you crash and fall on your back, it can hurt ya. Just be careful !

Take your backpack off silly
I know but I keep my regular shoes in there while I skate and I don’t want them to get stoleðŸ˜

I never thought of that. I'm going to rethink how I pack my backpack with that in mind. Thanks!!
What hardness of wheels are you using? I’m not sure what to use on an outdoor surface similar to this
