When a Beginner Skater ACTUALLY Listens to Advice... 

www.twitch.tv/rickyglaser I've been having lots of fun livestreaming IRL skateboarding on Twitch follow along to catch me live :)

cant believe how nice everyone from the skating community is :') massive thanks to everyone who's said such nice things

We need a collaboration between the two of you!

That first rolling ollie attempt was hella impressive, it was essentially a success in most beginners eyes. She really is being too hard on herself, be proud of the improvement youre making and the time and effort being put into something you enjoy!

Ricky, I loved this a lot. How your feedback inspires her (and also me) to just keep rolling until it starts popping, is great.

Bending your knees is the absolute BEST advice for Skateboarding and Rollerblading beginners. Everything improves once you become comfortable with your knees and posture, learning to relax into the flow and using the board or skates as an extension of your natural movement and not just a separate platform you're stood on top of. God, I love skating.

I've wanted to skate since I was like 10. I picked up wakeskating a few years ago and this legit makes me want to give skating a shot again. Especially the little things like going off curbs. Really inspirational for me

My son has been skating with me for a year a some months . 2 times a week if lucky . He listens to my advice . If amazing watching him apply the info . Kid is 8 rolling in on 7ft quarter pipes boosting out the 5 lol his technique is sharp when it comes to pumping transition! The way he holds his arms is so damn clean!!! I’m flailing like a fish while my son is looking like a natural! I help him work through his fears and bro! The work he puts in is amazing

thank you for posting these videos and the progression ones. they are so motivating and nice to see the input and advice you give. im about to go to the skatepark for the first time on a skateboard because of you and your videos!

I started skating this year and tore my meniscus somehow at home while not skating... can't wait to start again. Watching these videos is nice while I can't skate.

Ricky really out here changing lives

Now THAT is a healthy community! The pro helping the newbie, no toxic words said, just pure and genuine desire to come up with couple pieces of advice. Wish we had more of that in regular life aswell

So cool that you're inspiring beginners to keep going! That's really the only thing that helps. Just keep at it and you'll build the skill. Love it.

I have a theory about those weird beginner Ollie attempts that don’t get off the ground- Maybe the person trying the Ollie thinks that the motion of the board actually propels them into the air, when in reality, an Ollie is just a technique to have the board travel with you when you jump. Idk. I’m high

Love this! Great interaction she is really progressing fast... i have been skating for years and just now am starting to practice ollies

Love the positivity! I love your input on stuff we've all done or are currently doing, especially if we skate solo.

I learned to skate over quarantine and used to skate daily, bringing my skills to campus, til I was hit with illness and essentially house bound for two years, then this year got covid for the first time, and was very ill to the point of immobility for 6 months. I’m just starting to see some recovery, and while I don’t think I’ll be tearing up the city anytime soon like I used to on my board, I’m feeling stronger and ready enough to cruise around a garage park like old times. Riding is so therapeutic, and learning to is a great and rewarding challenge, I encourage anyone to try, ESPECIALLY while you have the health and mobility, you will not regret it. You’ll only regret not trying when it’s too late. I haven’t really skated in over 2.5 years now, but occasionally I’ll glide back and forth in my very small apartment hallway, and I’m grateful to know I haven’t totally lost my touch in that time. ❤❤🎉

Your takes are always so casual, genuine, informative, and inspiring. I just made My first 2 small clips on my phone of me accidently not landing, but sorta, landing a varial flip; while practicing towards my first kick flip. In the same session I attempted a heel flip but landed on the tail. Also got some rocket switch ollies and 2 nollies. When I skated as a kid I never thought I couldn't do any of these tricks. I was good at stairs gaps and rails.

this is super wholesome, good on both ya

i love the info you are giving and once it gets cooler outside i will definitely start practicing again, its getting over 100 degrees outside for the past week

As a father who learned to skate 35 years ago it cool to see beginning steps my daughter just got her first board and this is helpful. I don't remember when I learned to ollie

Ricky, you’re such a genuine person. Love your vids bud!

I love this collaboration. The points made are well said. I choose long boarding I know… 😅 but I never did it in while younger but wow skateboarding is so much fun. Hard. But definitely fun. I love his advice of just making boarding part of your everyday life. I love how the methods to learning are not limited. It’s just learn.

Dude, this is awesome content! Kuddos brother, and kuddos girl! This is sick, I’ve skated since I could walk and this typpa thing is why the skate community has always been A1 above all else. Love it man.

Love this, bud! Like seeing beginner progress.

One this she's still missing in this video is the front foot (often) pointing forwards towards the nose when she climbs on the board. Nope, the moment one kicks speed and put s back foot on the board, turn front foot sideways just as the back foot is. I always try to teach this basic sequence of movements to beginners. That helps immensely with basic balance and control of the board and helps one not to stand in their own way :) It's a small thing, but important, especially for steering and carving :) When you have more experience, THEN you can start to mess with the footing and where everything is and when and why, but at the start, it's really important :)

This girl is just ALL good energy :D and I love the idea of this working back and forth :D

RICKY tbh your so fun to watch, top 3 fav youtubers

wow all great tips and great advice. your a great coach to only work on the areas needed and to not over inform

helga X Ricky is all we need.

Yooo i remember watching her, she has gotten so much better with skating! and that's awesome to see.

Watching you always makes me wanna skate. Especially when i seen you with the braille squad all together skating and having fun. But when i skate it just make me wanna go back inside. I got no friends that live near me that wanna skate. Its been a month since i skated but ima try agian one day

Love this series man ❤❤

I’m quite enjoying these skate related content

Well done Sensei Ricky, congratulations Heglar.

We need more of this good content on YT

its a great reminder that this is really difficult and you have to be not good at it for ages before you can be good at it and everyone goes through that great content

For sure, would love to see a collab with the two of you! love the good sk8 vibes!

Dang y’all are on the verge of restoring my faith in the Internet !!

Bro i love your videos keep it up 💙

Omg i actually love her! Her rollerskating vids are great

im just starting to skate too- My older brother has been skating since he wasl ike 7 or 8 and he has been more then enough help by giving me tips and answering my questions and stuff, im kinda glad i have the help of videos and stuff and im actually looking for more tips by watching videos exactly like this one. if anyone else has any tips for me i'd be more then happy to hear them. Currently, im focusing on actually pushing on the board.

I was waiting for this! 🤣

Invite her to the Braille house 😂😂😂

Honestly, great job lady. going from manual to learning rolling manuals would had been a great next step, that's the most fluid way to get off of curbs and also if there's a bump at the edge of it you can do a little bumpy bounce, they're so much fun. I miss skating. :(

I met some skaters yesterday, they were genuinely the chillest dudes ive ever seen in my entire life, thanks to them, i decided to start skating. Now im saving up to buy one

Man, I skated a lot in my teen years for about 6 years or so every day, loved it had an absolute blast with the buddies. I'm 30 and I haven't been on a board in like 13 years, i still have them but im scared if i get on it ill just bust my ass immediately. Which is probably true it's been absolute ages ive lost whatever balance and control I had, but i still fundamentally remember how to do everything in my head, but my body probably doesn't. But watching skateboard videos makes me want to do it again.

Love this video for so many reasons

When you realize Ollie’s are one of the most difficult tricks to master and is the BASIS of every other trick.. that’s when you get humble about skating! Been skating for 15 years but ankle injuries kept me off the board for about 10 now. But I’m back sloppier than ever! But with your vids, I’ll do fine again 😅

awesome to get more ppl come to skating what i did to get use to skating was i would spend 3 hours a day going up and down my drive way just practicing pushing off and just over all comfort on the board before i started learning tricks

At least she got the vibe down, Late at night, skating in random spots around town... going home bruised and in pieces, to do it all over again the very next day ^^

This is so nice!

I love teaching new people at my local park how to skate, really makes me happy to spread knowledge I've learned over about 4 years of skating

This is great bro

I hope you can teach her going forward! Zoom coaching would be amazing

i’m still trying to do the ollie and honestly i like listening to other skaters because they’re more experienced than me so i can learn better from them

I started skating 3 days ago, starting to feel decently safe on the board, I heard i should tighten my trucks... i got a 7.6" board instead of the recommended 8,2" so i should def tighten them a little, also gonna plan to get protective gear! Today I went face first onto metal plating but caught myself for only my hands and hip to get hurt, so yea...

@3:14 - story time i remember i was skateboarding at a normal park and i found a steep u shaped road so i rolled in and did some carves on it. (around 30 degree) my father saw that and told me he use to skate. i was so surprised i gave him the board and he rolled in for the first time in like 30 years like he was born to ride it was the coolest thing i ever saw him do and he was like 50 years old at the time.

Just randomly have watched this series, awesome 🤓

I’m collecting videos so that I can just watch them over and over and hopefully learn something while waiting for my board to deliver 😂

This is very wholesome.

Ricky out here doing Aarons vision without even going out and skating lol

Great work Hegla!

I started skating around last week. These last 3 days, I've been skating for about an hour each day after work. It gives a nice upper leg workout 😂 It's a nice way to get a nice exercise. As the days pass, I'll be able to last longer. Currently, I'm just riding a bit in nearby streets (and just earlier got a better hang with riding and turning to the point where it feels nice... though no sharp turns yet) and practicing my ollies a lot (a lot of progress, but more practice is needed). I want to become comfortable with popping my board and riding it, before going to a skate park.... or maybe more riding it and get some tips at a local skate park lol At 31, time is starting to tick and it's a good way to stay in shape! I've kept my shape and my health, so anything to keep that going is cool

His advice to put skateboarding into your daily routine is very good and wonderful advice. Except for me, the town where I live is very hilly and I don't have the skill level to hill bomb just yet. Last time I tried, I injured myself for a good three months. If it wasn't for that, I totally would love to, but I have to settle for flat ground at the moment.

As a dad... where's your helmet lady...?!?

Haha go girl, nice Ricky 🔥👏

oh man this takes me back to when I first learned haha. I'd been wanting a skateboard for a while so I finally went out and bought one. me and my friend decide to go at his house, a couple hours goes by and I realize I don't have anyway of getting home so I say fuck it and decide to skate it (it was pretty damn far). at first I could barely even push myself but I forced through it and by the time I got home I had basically figured out the fundamentals. all this to say that at first it probably won't feel like you're even making much progress but once it clicks, it gets a lot easier. a bit like learning to ride a bike

One important thing about the ollie is that you need to remember to jump. Lot of people when starting out just pop and slide their foot without actually making an effort to jump resulting in the "rocket ollies"

When I was learning to do an Ollie I was jumping without the board trying to get my knees as high up then tried on the board

depending on the location in the uk the roads are so weird 1 minute youre on the most perfect flat road clear of anything then its bricks then cobbles back to a normal road

Would be a lot of fun to see you skating together!

Damn, I just might need to start a vlog to get me back into skateboarding

idk why but this was kinda wholesome

i went on holiday like 5days ago now and decided it was a really good idea to try and learn how to skate, not even 30 minutes after getting my board i fell off and broke my wrist lmao

Glaser gives the best advice, and it's so simple: Skate to go places. And keep skating regularly. Skating a mile a day, every day, for two weeks made my learning tricks much easier. If you're gonna race cars, you gotta learn to drive the streets with a clutch, first.

i skate my university daily and just the mile i push without having fun is so much muscle memory

Really cool video!!!

what's a good beginner board ?? I wanna learn to skate so bad but idk what to use

as an old bastard that get back on a skateboard after the itch sets in and rides till I have a major injury, i feel good knowing that i never feel weird on a skateboard, that must be a pro thing....

Damn, this makes me want to go skate.

im getting a skateboard this summer ‼️

s=sick man!more videos plz!!!

I feel like I need to see other beginners learning to motivate me to practice more.

Love it. I don't skate, I'm a bmx guy, we're kind of natural enemies /jk, but you're providing one of the best advices one can give to other human being: not going too hard on yourself is one of the most important things for everything in life, not just skateboarding. Also, I love how cute women on skateboarding gear look, just look at how her hair flows, gorgeous.

Ricky when I do my Ollie’s most of the time my feet slip of the board when I land any advice

wholesome

meu mano, vc é um anjo, juro

i feel very close to doing an ollie but i’m kicking my front foot too early.

Omg I practice my manuals just like that. Every. Day.

tried my first rolling ollie today... rolled my ankle haha

I'm not crying you're crying I'm chopping onions for a lasagne.

Ok 0:53 Ricky reacts to Hegla reacting to Ricky reacting to Hegla DAMN

when I first started i couldnt ollie for like 6 months. someone gave me some advice, "bring your knees up when you jump" almost immediately I begat to ollie about 6 inches.

Congratulations

His hair is nicely done today

I know i'm late to the party, but Ricky, for the love of God, TELL THIS GIRL TO GET TO A SKATE PARK! Even if you cant work with her get her to a park where she will get all the help she could need!

I Love Ricky glazer

A Hegla and Barbie collaboration! Love the girl power.

Go heeeglaaaaa
