How To Improve Your Skateboarding Faster 

this guy is one of the few that actually helped me skate better lol, all the other skate tutorials are like, jump, kick the board, land

"Skateboarding can be an extremely frustrating thing." -Understatement of the millennium 😂

The number one way to get better at skating is to skate everyday. Every moment. As much as you can. And one day shit just works out

Here is some off the tips I've learned trough the years : 1. Don't force yourself to improve. Work on your tricks but don't worry if it's not clicking. Usually,progress comes in waves. 2. Don't skate when you are tired. Make sure that before you go out skating,you are feeling well and rested. Find a good stretching routine if you feel stiff. 3. Watch skate videos. Find who's your favourite skater/ team and watch their stuff. It will get you motivated to skate more. 4. Support other skaters around you,be hyped on their skating. People will appricate it and will do the same for you. 5. Put the time in. The more honest you are with you skating,the more time you put in the better you will be. Is that simple. 6. Have sessions where you are only having fun and doing the tricks you know how to do. Even if that just means skating around. Not every session should be a battle for a trick. 7. Commit. If you are trying a trick,there is no point in doing it over and over again if you don't eventually commit. Try it out,test it out but eventually commit to it. 8. No matter your level of skating,your skating can be just as important as someone who's been skating for years. As long as you are going for it,skating hard,you are on the same level ! 9. Skate as much as you can 10. I'll write this last but I think is the most important one. Find ways to build your confidence. Not just on your board but in general. Having confidence can make or break your skateboarding.

Landed my first Ollie yesterday

Imagine having access to friend and a skate park lol couldn’t be me

I ain’t even gon cap when I started skating in 2019 I didn’t know anything and he’s one of the few people that actually teaches u thanks to him I can finally fakie big spin🙏

I watched your videos when I started. Now I’m 4 years into this beautiful culture throwing treflips , hardflips. Because you thought me the basics.

I just started skating again after a year of not, amazing timing edit: i just rolled my ankle so imma be out for a bit 💀

We were missing these, thank you so much:)

As someone who's coming back to skating after a 10-year break, I love this video. Because some of the topics were super relatable and still very helpful.

“I don’t have friends” has a dedicated cameraperson

I think I speak for everyone here when I say we need a dog introduction in the next video!

You actually help me learn my tricks thank you

Great video. Im 34 and starting to skate again after 16 years. Ive recognized each of these issues relearning myself. Ive also learned that practicing bailing on a trick and even learning how to fall, roll and all that has made skating less painful and frustrating, while also helping me to commit my feet. Honestly I will take my board out and kick it around, jump on and off, and basically make it my b$%&@, and now my feet are comfortable, my knees work right, and I get a Boss feeling over my board. I cant believe I ever stopped! What a great way to de-stress, get exercise, and even connect with your kid or even the neighborhood hoodlums. The best release. Thanks again for the video!

Bro if I wouldn’t have had some random dude hyping me up I would have never Ollied my first 5 stair. It was so scary and I didn’t think I was ever gonna be able to do it. It’s crazy how much of a mind game skating is & how much the littlest things help. Having a hype man is the best tool for skateboarding.

One idea I would like to recommend, is to follow skateboarders or just skateboard topic profiles on social media. I mainly use Instagram, just don’t get stuck in there, keep in mind you have to skateboard too lol

Love to see you back!

Thanks man! I love watching your videos! I've actually been watching a bunch of them (for like the 100th time) all this morning

The love and contributions just keep coming! Thanks bro!

I just ordered my first real skateboard after years of always wanting to start but never commiting, i just wanna thank you for all the tips and tricks! I really appreciate it and youre making me even more hyped to start my skateboarding journey! :D

You are a great skater and a great teacher, your advice can help more than one person who started recently or not and I love your videos

welcome back VL! we missed you (:

The king is back 👑

The first time I see this video, those advices gave me hope, i used to skate alone and my brother and friends start with me, then i was just me and it doesnt feel nice, now I got more friends to skate, even i teach a friend the basics and he is always with me, i think all this advices more than prepare to move forward, prepare your mentally to try things by your own, skate can teach u how to be independent and thats a important thing, anyways, great video forever

This man is so inspirational

Me who watched the video in x2 so i can skate 2 time faster

Thank you so much. We learn so much from you man!

I just got my board today too lmao thanks for the tips

You taught me how to ollie man now I can heelflip. Thank you for helping me through out my skate journey. Luv your videos bro

Thank you for your motivational and informative videos!

Great video! Some great reminders in there. As someone who just came back from a 15 year hiatus, relearning the foundation and balance is becoming a huge step for me to get more comfortable with tricks. Also, great point on not comparing yourself to other people. When I used to skate with friends 15+ years ago, we each had things we were good at. I was the expert on the rail going down the 4set at the park, while one friend was great at transition, and another was good at flip tricks and manuals. We all sort of helped each other get better in other areas, it was great.

This is all really good advice. Thank you very much. There’s also loads of great tricks here. Great stuff

Thanks for making this up, really need this one.

VLskate we love you man, you are the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was a great help bro thank you and skate on 👊🏾

Love this video. Great content!

My favourite channel to get myself in the right mind set to skate better

The best skate channel ever ! Thanks a lot

I just wanna say that you are seriously helpful and I learned to be more confident watching you. I just got the courage to ollie up a curb consistency because of you thank you so much

ay thanks for this, right on time for summer skating

THE KING HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice love your videos dude pray for your health so you can keep skating

I love your videos I am glad u made this one

Great video, this is something I can keep coming back to when necessary

bit unrelated, but if anyone could chime in: one of my trucks tends to always turn to the right when its in front so when i push, the board tends to drift to the right and i end up losing my balance. ive tried putting consistent pressure to try squishing the bushing, tried repositioning the bushing, and i believe i tried readjusting the truck mount but i cant seem to fix it. the only solutions i have are to either put my front foot on the far left when pushing to counteract the right turning or to use the other truck at the front. love ur videos btw, was glad to see a new upload. ur tutorials are so detailed and intuitive. especially the ollie, almost no other tutorial gets the minute details of what u should be doing

I broke my hand while skating A few weeks ago but I will learn to do the shove it A couple days ago, I’m so happy 💯 The amount of little steps it took, definitely worth it

Thanks I needed this

This was a therapeutic video, thank you☺️

Thank you teacher. You really are the best teacher of mine. You taught me many things. God bless you.

My favorite is don't compare yourself to others. It's cool to see everyone's progression and different strengths. I'm just now getting decent ollies while my homies are almost landing kickflips, but I skate transition much better

This is the best skate channel!

Started off with one of my favorite tricks, nollie inward heel is just so sick

This was a dope video. So well put together

This video got me motivated to actually go out and actually skate instead of trying a trick for 10 minutes and giving up

This channel is the main reason I know as many tricks as I do, thank you dude! I’m still struggling like hell with landing tre’s after two years, but I’m determined I’ll get them if the last thing I ever do. I’ve landed a few but never managed to roll out…has anyone got any tips on how to keep my front foot out on them, that’s all I’m doing wrong to not land them, I’ve slow motion video’d’ my tre attempts like 1000 times and it seems that’s my main issue is just my front foot not fully committing all the way out forward? Not sure if maybe it’s my weight distribution too? I think I’ve taken from this video that I need to warm up a little more before trying them, and maybe focus on getting my varials consistent before I fully can commit to tre’s. Be safe everyone, skate and have fun 🤘🏻

Really helpful video, dude Thanks

im starting skating now at 22 ur channel is very encouraging thank u for the great videos

good tips. Def am gonna try harder from today on and take my time

I recently stopped skating because I've been so busy with school and sports but this video made me wanna pick up the board again.

Preach it! This gets me right where I am.

Love your vids bro

Thanks! SOON Imma get a skateboard and try it out so this will probably help alot.

I've only started skating a few days ago, and this really helps!

This guy is so relaxing to listen to

The way I warmup is by stretching, and then doing every trick I know regular and fakie + switch and nollie. It helps keep me from losing tricks, and it's really satisfying to know you've landed every trick in your bag before your session even starts. (unless you know a lot of tricks, then I'd just pick a good 15 or 20 tricks to do)

love the vid bro, especially the part "dont get mad at yourself" XD been on deck for about 6 months now. getting really frustrated ( reeeallly frustrated) because I can't seem to land my tre double flip, fakie bigger spin, etc. people look at me like im an idiot for not seeing that its already awesome I built up the muscle memory to even perform these flips/spins. but I always seem to dodge a land with my back foot. been doing kick flips since the first month, but I also broke my ankle and fibula couple years ago on my first day of skating. so 5 yrs later I figured I should try again and im in love once more. but I feel that mental block which has an attitude of " I will kick in whenever I feel like it" making it so I can land tight kick flips at one moment. and completely lack the commitment part at another. this mostly goes for backside tricks and flips. I get chickenfeet and dodge the land with my back foot, making it so that I get the ultimate frustration of performing the trick to a T and nicely underneath me and yet, at the moment of a land, my back foot goes auto pilot and swoops to the side/back to avoid a complete land. its really messed up, because at this point I can do a tre double flip with the same effort as a kick flip but I land em both the same, with front foot on the deck and back foot next to it... so im really trying to find that button.. and why I do commit when popping a pretty high pop shuvit, either fs or bs, when chances of it flipping primo is just as plausible as having it land primo with a flip trick. man sorry for the long text, maybe someone can find him/herself in this story as well, that "last moment one foot bail out".... sounds like a trick tho rite? "kickflip 2 Late back foot bail out". XD ait everybody best of luck and lotsa motivation to y'all , all feet on deck!!

This vid is great thanks yo!

I love the chill vibes of the video

Thanks this helped alot! 😁

thanks for this!

Its also applies to any other competitive hobby, helpful tips indeed!

Love these

Thank you very much for your motivation

Your skating is sick, honestly looks effortless

Great video!! As a newbie still, it means a lot!

you are realy helping me!!

SHEESH🥶🥶 YOU'RE GOOD🔥

This video actually was really helpful

Thank you this is great

Repetition is huge. Just got back in and mostly skating bowls. I've been working for a month to dial in a BS pivot to tail. I'ts finally paying off where I'm nailing it about 70% of the time. Glad I've spent most of my sessions just trying to dial that trick. Also the don't be afraid to try random tricks is big as well. I'm really comfy doing blunt transfers on spines (more so than rocks) where this trick terrifies most people.

2:40 amazing and very important tip that exact thing happened to me i had my ollies down decent enough to go up curbs and go down stairs but then i went straight to kickflips after and then i stopped being able to do decent ollies but now ive gained them back decently enough while i still mostly practice kickflips

i love this guy

Dude this helpx alot

that pop at the start is nutty

I just got my board yesterday, I started watching your videos and thanks to you, I know how to push, turn and stop. And for Tomorrow I will start learning ollie, and I know I will fall many times but, I will never give up. thank you so much for the tutorials :>

I swear this guy's style has gotten so much better since the last video

Aweh this video rlly helped

I swear this guy is the best man Imagine his best friend being also a skater damn

this guy helped me land my ollie first try after 1 month of trying to ollie

25 years after I learned to ollie, literally 2 months ago I started almost desperately wanting to skateboard out of nowhere, and I got into it, so hard to balance life now without the support I had when I was young, and I skateboard every day I can usually at least get a little chance to get out there

Ngl I have seen many skateboard tutorial video but your is most understandable

You are a good youtuber thank you... and dont worry about freands you have us :)

Thanks for the vid

Thx for this

I have that exact same deck in the thumbnail (love the vids man)

the random trick tip is so helpful i learned discoflips before kickflips

Tip #1 is so real. I used to skate with my friends in the campus parking lot at night but now living 1.5 hrs away from everyone and working a 9-5, it's up to me to do the solo work to improve. On and off skating for a few years-- watched some tips on different ways to brake and didn't use any of them today when skating cuz i needed to get a feel for my board again. It's fun either way :-) i don't mind taking it slow!

im so glad heis backon yt

I wish I skated like you!!! its really cool
