/ simplelongboards
This video tries to show you some of the basics steps used in longboard dancing. It starts at the absolute basic level and works a little bit up to some more advanced steps. But still, almost everything is based on the simple cross-step. No fancy board manipulation or technical wizardry. Just walking on the board.
I hope you will use this as a guide and as an inspiration to go dancing. It's really not that hard!
Board: Simple Platypus, Randal 180's, Orangatang 86a Stimulus
Music: The Album Leaf -- Red-Eye

@Hightreewalker 8 лет назад

+El Manana There is no fail in learning, just place your feet on every part of your board, so you learn to feel what it's doing and turn a little bit at first, to learn switch ride and so on. Just to be confident on every spot of your board first, that takes some time. Falling off is ok, should learn that too, you'll get more confident after that. Bend your knees and relax, the rest will follow 4 sure

@Shaynkss 9 лет назад

I'm torn between longboards. I'm not sure if I should get a 38-42 inch or something bigger, and either top mount or drop through. I want to dance, and the roads are not always that smooth in my area. Also I'm a commuter, so I would be taking it to college. But I don't care about downhill speed at all.

@n30nplay56 6 лет назад

Shaynks I got a 42 inch drop through when I first started, let me tell you the pros and cons. For dancing this is not the best board, first of all the drop through decks, the things that hold the trucks get in the way sometimes in some dance moves. You can get around this yet it takes much more getting used to it. Also now and then I wish I had a longer bored because it gives more space for error like a cross step or a Peter pan. Now for the pros, a 42 inch deck is a nice middle ground, it's good for commuting, downhill if you need to, and deccent at dancing. Shorter boards can help you make sharper curves to and the drop through decks are closer to the ground so they have much more stability for any type of riding. That's just a bit of info, i hope I helped you somehow X) byee

@mwright83 12 лет назад

I too wanted this out on the streets as a reference. I looked into it and for me, it was really easy. I went to Keep vid dot com and dragged the little button that it tells you to drag to your tool bar/bookmark bar... Then went back to this video page, and pressed the "keep it" in the bar. It then took me to a page on Keep Vid that listed a bunch. I clicked the 720P one and it downloaded an mp4. I put that into itunes and I put it on my iPhone NO problem. Good luck. :)

@diegocastilhos 12 лет назад

i started longboarding after watching a dancing movie and it was love at first sight! i couldnt make many moves at the start but now i can make cross steps, switch cross stes, peterpans and others! im trying to learn how to 180 step to backwards 180 step. this move will increase my combos! i will try it soon! thx

@luutse 12 лет назад

I'm quite happy with the style I have. It's just the way I skate and have no intention to 'throw out combinations'. I'm working on a video with a lot of harder tricks, but it takes time to film. That's why I make these 1-session movies. Cheers!

Dang this guy makes it look so easy...but for some reason I eat the most shit when I'm dancing :S

@nstafford23 11 лет назад

This guy definitely if pretty solid but he is no Jesus. Jesus would intertwine these moves with these moves switch. He would then add in some caveman/manual tricks such as flat tops, pelicans, guillotines ect.... Finally he would put the finishing touch on his style by adding in some stand up/hand down slides. For anyone learning to dance on a longboard: I would really try and get down the "180 step to backwards180 step". Being able to do this move on either foot (pivoting on left/right foot).

@tommorgan6665 11 лет назад

So I ripped this video onto my phone - found a fresh built carpark in Wells, Somerset, England and bought a longboard. Your flow has pushed me in the space of 3, 6 hour days of riding back and forward to push myself to learn smooth cross steps, 180 steps (both step forward step back and step around..like a 360) and I'm on the Peter Pan tomorrow. Thanks man, keep up the good work! Ps. Alt-J, Phantogram - legends!

@spacepak1 11 лет назад

the flex you were refering to isn't even that usefull when you're dancing, it feels more natural to walk on a solid hard surface. So the best thing you could if you wanna get into this style is to buy a dancing board like 110cm, a little flex can never hurt:d, paris trucks would be great and and for the wheels i'd recommend medium hard like not over 80a. anyways srry for bothering you but I just felt like telling you this :d

@PPGamingAu 11 лет назад

You're so lucky to live in a place where its cold so you can wear jumpers and jeans when you skate. In Australia, its way too hot so i gotta wear shorts and a t-shirt, im new to longboarding, about 2 weeks, getting pretty good and these steps are awesome, i tried to chop the pan and full on stacked it, shit. Might invest in some pads

@xaverpfk 12 лет назад

good point. I just wrote the tricks in it in my Longboard tricktionary notebook. This may help you: - Cross-step - 180 step to switch 180 step - 180 step to Backwards 180 step - Backwards Cross-step - Cross-step Sex change to Cross-step - Chop the Wood - Peter Pans - Chop the pan - Ghostrides - Ghostride Cross-step - Cross-step over - Sidewinders

@AlainahB 12 лет назад

a longbord is generally longer, more flexy, and turns and rolls more easily. If you are going to be riding downhill (fast), cruising, carving, sliding, and doing some tech tricks, get a longboard. they are very fun. if you want to do vert. and a lot of different tricks like ollies and 360's skateboards are better.

@SamDuke474 12 лет назад

@Malfunction 11 лет назад

I'm insanely new to longboarding, but what attracted me to it was dancing and step tricks on them, rather than bombing or sliding. For most "dancers" do you usually only have trip on the nose and tail? I'm about to get a longboard and I dont wanna grip it up if it's gonna make it harder to learn tricks.

@nstafford23 11 лет назад

These moves are pretty sweet and not terribly hard to learn. If your able to do these moves switch however (especially cross steps) thats when when you start looking really steezy. I cant EMPHASIZE this enough - WORK ON BOTH YOUR SWITCH AND REGULAR RIDING and all these tricks will become much easier.

@RD_space 11 лет назад

"Don’t lean forwards, don’t lean backwards. Keep your back straingt and your bodyweight above your feet. No matter what… You will fall, it’s going to hurt and you will hate yourself." This was taken directly from a website called "Simple Longboards" I can only hope you were kidding.

@BenonBoard 11 лет назад

It is also good to learn foot placement, this affects the weaving of the board as well. For instance with peter pans your feet are parallel to the board and riding either edge, this causes the board to weave and all that is necessary then is keeping your weight above the board.

@ther3dify 12 лет назад

probably cuz you have stock bushings are really hard bushings. if you dont know what bushings are, they're basically the plastic pieces around the kingpin in your truck. for huge carves you want soft bushings, it'll cost you like 10 bucks for 4 bushings (2 for each truck)

@1992omglol 12 лет назад

would you say these are played in order of least to greatest difficulty? if not which would you recommend learning first? ive been long boarding for about 3 months now and im just now starting to get into dancing. ive got cross steps down pretty well so far.
