10 things to know when progressing in skateboarding 

quit skating at 14 started again at 30 and it's been the best decision for my health/mental health that I've made in my adult life. I'm better now than i was at 14. I can't wait to skate everyday when i get home.

Skate with people better than you! - direct reason why I had such a good session this day

As an old skater, all of these are gold! Great list.

Yeah worked on my mental health a few years back and basically got myself to a state where I am more positive than ever in my whole life. I been able to learn that as well as how to basically really improve my skills in my creative career. Skateboarding is like my next big thing to learn. Might take years but I noticed when filming myself learning to ollie while rolling, while I barely have it pop up or I have a few where I fuck up and almost fall I still have a smile on my face that is genuine which is rare. I still look back to when I was 13 and learned my first shuv it. Just doing it over and over until I landed it... Then I did a second try and the trucks broke since it was a Walmart board I got as a gift lmao. I do wish I kept at it younger but I feel if I did then I wouldn't be skating now since I was not in the right mindset at the time or had the right personality traits.

all of these i agree with. i feel like im always saying these things in one way or another to the younger homies. they think im crazy because i’ll do one trick over and over in circles for whole sessions and then are like “wow dude your getting good” after i land that one trick clean first shot in a warm up.

Your one of my favorite skaters. Great vid👍

Very nice ideas! The one you haven’t mentioned is physical courage. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on it, because for me at least it’s a BIG element of skating.

Your channel is perfect I been skating for a few years wondering why I'm not getting better you really helped explain it thanks man

Your style is so elegant in my opinion and the tips are gold🔥

i skate for over 20 years and everything he said i could relate/agree to! good job! keep skating ur style looks dope!

love the locations in this video

Yes Sir 💯% The right people make for great sessions and progression. Really well put together video too. Stay Rad Sir.

Love this as a new skater at 29 - appreciate you man

Thank you for the advice/guidance!!

Thanks for a great video man. My town has shit terrain for skateboarding but your videos inspire me to keep going

Thx for this vid! Gj m8

I love that you comment each of your tricks with a laugh or a comment or just an „uh“. Makes me feel less alone with this 😅 just can’t help it. Every trick gets an automatic comment

bless with ledge and rail tricks

broke my arm bad riding bmx when I was a kid, already skate by that time but after the injury I just became very scared of trying new things in skateboard. nowadays I pretty much just skate flatground... it's hard to unlock your mind from that "trauma" and make actual progress, shows how your mind is an important piece for making progress in skateboarding

I am old enough to remember an i pod nano...59. lol. ps,thanks for your advice,you wiser than your years.

dope vid

Subbed!!

Nice one!

sick windbreaker bro

#3 👌so true

Skaters should read the book ' The Inner game of tennis'. It helps to trust yourself more and to not get frustrated so easily when it comes to landing tricks.

I skate so much n get very little.. but then I’m a loner, harder to learn from others that way Definitely needed to hear #7

Here's a question to ponder: what's 10 things your future self would like you to know about skateboarding?

Hey man great videos and advice for overall skateboard progression. I just wanted to ask you how often do you skateboard? Ideally I would love to skateboard everyday and I often push to but injuries always seem to get in the way…

I would say the only thing I’d disagree with is that flatground is the foundation of skating as I personally thing transition is the foundation. While it isn’t where everyone should start, I think two most important/useful skills to have right at the start is knowing how to carry momentum/pumping/carving and knowing how to deal with getting airtime (whether that is by popping flatground ollies or learning to launch off a ramp). Flat ground is one of the best ways to understand the limitations of your boards dimensions and nuances; you really fall in love w your board doing flatground

Great list and advice, but please next time level out the audio I was wearing headphones and every time you switched from talking to skating I had to change the volume alot

i started skating like last year february and i’m 17 rn, my progression is feel like is so slow and i it takes me forever to commit (i fact sometimes i literally canttt) i wanna get to a good level, i enjoy skateboarding but sometimes it’s frustrating “-“

If you want to get precise go roll on flat. If you want to get accurate skate on the carpet literally. And if you want to get good combine the two. If you want to get gnarly go fast and get air.

Why there is always so much "meah" in your tricks when you finish land them...they look so flawless some times but seems you don't enjoy them. You're your team and should cheer for the success of most of them :)

Still skating them superstars😊😂❤

Do you think I can get as good as John hill at slides on ledges. What is time frame just cause if I can do that it’s like sick.

You look like Hamilton from vice

This was great info and commentary but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD please normalize the audio level between your commentary clips and your skate parts.

repetition* however, great looking spot

bruh, where is this nice ass park with no people?

lol every trick you land you say "uhh" thats hilarious. rodney mullens dad didnt support him. he stuck to it and became a legend.

"huu huu huu huuu"
