If you're new to skating, I have a bunch of other tutorials on my channel, like this ollie tutorial: ru-vid.com6k3TqEizoac?feature=share. Subscribe for more skating!
@@karlpickleton8708 oh yea i can now kickflip, olli, and im trying to learn how to grind a rale rn but im more of a cruiser tbh but thanks for askin homie 🤙
I think it's worth mentioning when you push you should squat a little with your front foot and try to keep most of your weight on that foot. I had a bad habit of basically putting all my weight on the pushing foot and was leaning over that left instead of squatting on the front foot.
Good point about keeping most of your weight on the front foot as you push; as you mentioned, you'll need to squat a little with your front foot, so your back foot can reach the ground. Thanks!
@@RegularJason yea i used to just drop into the pushing leg (like going down stairs) instead of squatting and keeping my weight in the right place. I was more of hopping instead of pushing. I guess the proper technique may come more naturally to younger skaters, but I started at 27 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For sure, I got you! The "Skate Basics Tutorials" playlist on my channel has my past tutorials, and I'll add future ones to that playlist too. Glad it helped, have fun!
I think that everyone who posts a skateboard tutorial for beginners always forgets to say, balance is an important key, just like riding a bike balance is everything, once you got that under control then its pretty much not trying to let fear get the best of you.
I've been trying to do an Ollie multiple times but I literally went insane when I realized I had to turn my foot once im moving on the board. Update: I can do a Nollie properly now
Hi fellow beginners! As a beginner myself learning how to ride the skateboard like this took me days or a little over a week to know. So just remember to be patient with learning, wear protective gear, practice often, and have fun! Edit: I just fell down when trying to ride the skateboard outside for the first time lmao. It happened today so if this happened to you, don’t be too embarrassed, it happens sometimes.
Started skating a long time ago but this is a nice honest way to teach how to push and ride. Reminds me of when my neighborhood friends taught me how to ride a bike, or scooter, or skateboard. Keep it up
I went to a skatepark for the first time a couple days ago!! I'm still learning to push and cruise comfortably but it was so much fun! I worked on carving turns a bit and even went down a little slope! There was almost nobody there to see me fall on my face except a scooter kid, who ALMOST snaked me like 3 times (he was super nice tho plus he was like 8 and nowhere near as bad as a lot of scooter kids ive seen in the wild)
im new to skateboarding and i have good balance on the bored i just need to get better at the balance when moving and learn how to go down drive ways more better and get confortable with pushing and leaning when turning
you wouldn't believe that people actually need these basics ,people that actually already ride and want to do Tre flips ,laser flips and heelflips can't even kick turn on transition.....And so many skaters want to do all these heal and flip tricks at slower than walking speed.... Skateboarding has really lost a lot of its ass and speed in the past 20 years.... Great tutorial.
I'm trying to practice the pivot of the front foot but I think the sandpaper it's too new and my shoe gets so stuck that is hard for me to change positions, is that something that happens? Do y'all rough up the sand paper a little or leave it like that and wait?
Hi there, I have a hole forming at the bottom of my shoe but at the bottom of my front foot, not the pushing foot. So it looks like it's from pivoting the front foot. Is there any way to stop this from happening? Thanks. ☺️
