How to do a Running Start Skateboarding - 4 Step Method 

Oh, thank you! I don't know exactly...I did teach myself guitar as a hobby when I was younger. And I've learned and taught a few languages. For example, with a language, I need to be able to completely think from the perspective of that language in it's culture because if I think from my US American-English perspective, I'll rarely be able to translate my thoughts well. I feel like I am doing that in a way. Not translating, but thinking in the skate context of motion if that makes sense? What similar motion could help train this one or make this less scary? When I can't get a trick, I try to break down exactly what the board is doing and I am doing and look for a connection instead of forcing it. What am I doing that's causing this reaction? Let's try moving my feet. Let's try leaning back. Let's try jumping forward. But, I've always just been really analytical in my problem solving (breaking stuff down and building it back up). No matter the subject or problem, I try to break it down into parts and look for creative solutions. I always feel like there are more--often easier--solutions out there. We just need to stumble upon them. It has inspired me to do more research on the body and brain recently though! So, I'll have some related content on that eventually too 😃

@@SarahParkMatott would you be a software programmer by any chance? You have a programmer mindset imo !

@@inouire 😄😄

You got it💪💪

Yup

Thank you so much! That’s awesome 😃😃 I’m so glad to hear that!! And with the stoke and positivity, I’m sure you’ll keep progressing real fast💪💪

Haha 😂 thanks! Glad you liked the tutorial 😃

Hope it helps 😃💪

Thank you! 😃🙏

Thank you! 😃🙏 Seriously!

Thank you so much! 😃 There are a lot of skateboard tricks that are deceptively difficult. So, I always try to break anything down as much as I can, even if it looks really "easy". I'm glad all the examples are helpful too. I'll definitely keep trying to include those!

Woo! I'm glad to hear it! 💪

Thank you so much! I really hope this helps you hone those running start skills 💪

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that 😃

oh...the moment I can build a mini ramp, I will be!! I don't know how far it is in my future, but it is definitely in there 💪 Thank you! :D

ah thank you! Glad they've been helpful for you :D

:D Glad to hear that!

I hope so! You’ll definitely get it faster💪

Thanks! The goal is to always go into as much detail as possible 😃🙏

💪

Thank you 🙏 Really glad to hear that.

Glad I made it right on time 💪

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video so much :D I hope you're well too!

@@SarahParkMatott My pleasure and likewise, I’m well!

Thanks! :D Glad to hear that!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear that. Baby steps really are the way to go 💪 All about building confidence.

you got it 💪

Thank you so much 😃

Happy to hear it was helpful 😃

ahh stoked to hear it!

Thank you! Glad you liked it :D guitar is a great example of something you can break down to build up. I love that kind of approach 💪

Hey! That's awesome. I'm glad you got your gear and are ready to tackle skating! And thank you. I'd really love for that to be the case. I hope my tutorials help 💪

ay, that's awesome! Stoked to hear it 😃

ah, thank you! I'm so stoked to hear it. It's often the "easy" stuff that we struggle with, because what's intuitive to others is not intuitive to us. And there is absolutely nothing about skateboarding that can be truly called easy. It's all hard. Difficult and more difficult 😂 But, happy to hear the video helped!

Hope it helps! :D

Haha yes! Even just filming this, I was getting so much better at it. We're good as long as we don't step off center 😂💪

Thank you! 🙏 and that’s awesome 💪💪

that's awesome! Keep having fun 💪

It's definitely a good way to grab more speed quickly 💪

ahhh stoked to hear that :D I haven't done these in forever either...I probably should work on them again 😂

Thank you! Glad you liked the video! 🙌 앗 감사합니다! 타봤던 보드중에 그 보드가 젤 예뻤던 것 같아요ㅋㅋㅋ

I’m so glad to hear it! Thank you🙏😃

love u sarah .. thank u .. ❤❤

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the content 😃

@@SarahParkMatott it's just been a week since I got my first board and watching your videos on breakdowns of tricks, gives me confidence for future. Also, I'm in your notification squad , keep them contents coming ,best wishes

@@arianrahman4840 aw thank you so much. Welcome to the notification squad 😂 I’m glad you’re enjoying the content that much. I’ll keep doing my best to put out more! Keep shredding and learning in the meantime💪

Thank you! Glad you liked the video :D

Thanks! :D Glad you think so!

yesssss 💪 stoked to hear it!

Woo! That is awesome. It's all thanks to your hard work, but still! Рад помочь 😃 (I hope this is correct. I don't know, but I wanted to try :)

@@SarahParkMatott Its correct)) thank u!! :)

@@andviktor yay! 😃 thank you too!

@@SarahParkMatott still wait guitar/song video ;)

@@andviktor Haha that will be a while! But maybe I can throw it in somewhere 😂

It takes some time to start catching it on the way down for sure! But you'll get there 💪 stoked you found the video helpful 🙏

Thank you! And thanks again! It's an original. Bought in the 90s (I think) from a Yamaha motorsports dealer. 😃

Thanks Alan🙏

Haha caveman definitely could be next! 💪 And yeah, that's a great progression path. I am always recommending them 😂

@@SarahParkMatott BTW. Did you check out the link that I left you. If it doesn’t work the do a search for Bill Danforth Street Survival. It’s an instructional video that’s ancient but worth watching. Especially for a skate scholar such as yourself!

Oh, a caveman does sound difficult! I hope this helps 💪

@@SarahParkMatott it did Indeed. With tail drag I had it immediatly!. It wasn't really a caveman, but a balancing motion of the board, quite stressful. Now i'm zen

@@inouire haha being zen is a core part of skating 😂 I’m glad that you found that missing piece

That’s also a good option 😃💪

@@SarahParkMatott But always make sure, tha tland with both feet on the bolts. Years ago i landet with the front foot to much on the nose and made a moonsault xD

@@HowlingMad86 haha oh yeah. Bolts are home 🏠😂

@@SarahParkMatott Oh yes. Last week, i took my old deck, two wooden blocks, and voila, now my wife has a practice board. She saw also yor videos and it was inspiring for her.

Hi! I have wanted to make a rolling ollie video for a few months, but unfortunately, we've just had really bad weather, and the places I can skate are really limited right now. But, as soon as we have some nice weather, I am definitely going to be going out and filming that one! It's high on my list as soon as there are sunny days when I'm not working. I will say right now that jumping forward didn't help me personally. It made me ollie at an angle and it was much harder. I struggled mostly because it takes more strength to level out the ollie when rolling. I'm on it though! And thank you! I'm glad the videos have been helpful :D

It is scaryyy, but you got it 💪

I think it just depends on on fast you want to go. Some people take as few as a step to just jump on or actually run and hop on to go fast. ☺️

It's actually clear! That beautiful blue is the gorgeous deck top 😃 Used the clear grip so I could look at it haha

Ayyy 💪💪💪 get it!

I do! They are in my "trick tips" playlist

Don't worry too much. I didn't even try to learn how to get a running start until about 8 months into skating. Take your time and have fun 💪

Tons of them 💪 There are a ton of awesome tricks you can learn before the ollie with varying skill levels. If I was on my computer, I would link a few videos, because I have a few videos on this already. I made a video called first 5 beginner tricks and another one called 20 tricks that don’t require an ollie. I also always recommend trying out beginner freestyle footwork/tricks like yo-yo hop and switchblade (I have tutorials for these), walk the dogs, endovers, monsterwalks (in the 5 first tricks video). These tricks help a lot with getting more board control. And they’re more fun (in my opinion) than just rolling around to get comfortable.

Tips for ollie-ing down it? If you're having some trouble committing, I would try to find something lower (even a curb) and work on ollie-ing faster and farther to give yourself more confidence! I'm always about building up from small steps. Then trying to find something higher like a two stair and really working up how fast and how far you can ollie off that! You might have already done this, but I would work on those and then in the same day try the two stair. That's how I worked on committing to dropping in. I don't have much experience with stairs though! If you don't like the first idea, I would recommend starting with something like a boneless or caveman down the three stair if you can jump that far. It might be a little less scary than an ollie, but you can get used to the drop and the distance! Whatever happens, you'll get it with practice💪

Sure! Might be little harder/different depending on how short the board it though 😃

💯 I think most tricks and skills are connected somehow. They definitely feed off each other 💪

Yeh I'm old and doing surf skating now, ollies are painful... So I'm gonna pick up my board walk over the curb and do this or the caveman..steez

Thanks! And well, adjusting audio and being comfortable talking to a camera/mic is always a work in progress.
