I love the footage of his girlfriend knocking him down. If you want to start off more gently, go to a trampoline park. You can fall down a ton without any scrapes or bruises until you are consistently rolling out of a fall.
I fell today once, shook it off and laughed. Then went to the grass to practice balancing a little better!
The first decent fall I took while learning I was stationary and the board slipped out from under me and I basically went horizontally landing hard on the side of my knee and elbow. Luckily I was able to ice my knee immediately which minimised the swelling and bruising. Next week I bought pads which would have saved both injuries if I had had them.
lol literally the same thing happened to me and I also bought pads after that.
that is indeed a very good idea, invest in some pads and enjoy more time on your board, less time recovering from pointless injuries.
My greatest fall was when I bombed a really long walkway bridge between a mall and a metro station. It was at least or nearly a kilometer, I would say; it had moving sidewalks on either side and the middle part was empty and a marble floor that had declines, so I couldn't resist. Also, I was really late for work (rode the wrong bus and fell asleep). Of course, I didn't yet know how to properly break or slide or anything that could reduce speed, and foot breaking was out of the question since it was marble. But my god, the speed felt amazing, it felt like an eternity. I thought I was gonna get away with it as I could already see the end of it, but then I suddenly realized that at that speed I didn't have any other way of getting out of it but jumping out. Of course, this was also the time that I started getting speed wobble, so I just succumbed to it and let momentum and gravity take me. I crashed into some tourists. I bet it was the highlight of their day.
So freakin epic 😅
God* 😊
I swear, this guy learned me so much. I have been watching him since i just was a little innocent skater not knowing any trick. I just wanna say thank you for learning me so much and keep up with these vids!
A teacher didn't learn you anything, they taught you something. They keep teaching you, YOU keep learning.
@@viviondioline i think its a language thing, in norwegian the word for teach and learn is the same (lære) so many people say "ill learn u" instead of "ill teach u" there. probs the same in swedish and danish and maybe some other languages

Theres an Australian bird nicknamed “the laughing jacka$$” but its real name is the Skrattfagle 😂
Thankyou! I'm so glad you talked about this bc I feel like skaters just don't talk enough about it
Exactly! It's also mind opening to see that Justin falls sometimes while performing beginner tricks. Falling is a huge part of skateboarding indeed!
@@andrewregrets yeah that always encourages me. This channel gives me confidence
This deserves more views! This video is essential to any beginner! Thank you for teaching this
I'm very glad to get such great feedback, thank you!
Great stuff. Everyone needs to know this stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Local skater from queens. I swear at the park. When’s the vibes are high, the best skaters aren’t even the ones doing the coolest tricks. They’re the ones who take the hardest slams and keep skating afterwards and finishing what they started. #queens ❤
Never stop producing those helpful videos!!
Finally an indepth video into how to fall/roll. Thanks Justin 😊
the topic i should have come across when i was starting out! thanks, good work!
I was literally hoping to watch something like this today. Thank you!
That's awesome!
Yeah i learned to ride 2 days ago and i havent fallin yet but the more confident i get the more anxious i get i know its coming
Fantastic advice thanks - practice falling first and skate within ones ability (or at least, a tiny bit beyond it obv to learn something new).
Thanks!!
Thank you for the video! My daughter and I are going to practice together as we both learn how to skateboard
great tutoriall . thank youuu so much
Nice video dude, just saying, the way how you fall can be a life saver sometimes
Soooo true!!
I realy needed this
I read this as how to fail over and over, and I’m like, damnnnnn roasted me.😅
LFG he’s back
Let'sgooo!!
Great video! This stuff crosses over to every day life so much too. I think researchers need to do a long-term study on the rate of falling injuries in older adults, grouped into people who skate or used to skate vs people who never skated. I'd bet the falling skills will help even into old age. Furthermore this kind of data could be used to support teaching this as part of physical education in schools. It would save so much healthcare cost over a longer time period if everyone had the right instincts when losing their balance
You could make the same argument about any physical sport really, not just skating. Sports in general give people a much greater sense of how to use their body in a variety of situations. It's a shame that so much of sports turns into a competitive thing that ultimately turns people away from it. Even just participating in sport as a hobby has so many great long-term benefits.
Taking a 15 year break because of a traumatic brain injury; has me embracing the fact that I may not ever ride with the same confidence I once had. I now respect how frail the flesh I live in can be
Great video and sage trips to live and skate by.
Dude, I broke my ankle trying to drop in bowl (went outside my ability) in that skatepark!! Pflugerville, right?
Yessir, Northeast Metro in Pflugerville. A few years ago, I tried to drop in on that vert ramp and took a slam straight to the hip (not one of my brightest moments). You have to be careful there!
Another tip imo is to play pickup balled sports like soccer and basketball. Learning basics moves, drills, driblling and shooting in those sports really improve your on-ground balance that will make most of this stuff second nature subconsciously in those split seconds before hitting the ground
What skateboard do you use? And what are some good upgrades for a skateboard for a beginner?
Nice, thanks. Any advice to protect the hips? That's where I mainly bruise and it doesn't seem like hip pads are an option.
I think Roman from Prodigal Suns uses hip pads when he skates transition and he really seems to like them, maybe see what he has to say about it...
I have that issue with stretched arm just behind me. Luckily elbow was not broken.
The one time I did not have knee pads because it was to tight (got the wrong size) ate it 2 weeks ago brushes and scraps just now going away lol thankfully had hand pads on
I have a question! what if your in a small space like a garage and can't roll?
A pebble made me eat the ground and break my hand within the first week of skating so im still kinda scared to start skating again
Writing this with a broken arm..
the reason i quit skateboarding after a little while is because i managed to get 4 mild to serious injuries within a few months, and that is WITH a few weeks recovery to heal. I don't know why but i am a magnet when it comes to hurting myself. A tiny pebble on the road will cause me to have to go to the hospital, i wish that was a joke but it actually happened multiple times. I just don't think it's for me.
Lets help some grannies on the street to learn falling by casually pushing them on the sidewalk. They usually lack the mobility. Make sure to push them really hard, so they roll properlly each time.
Reminds me of aikido ukemi...
😃😃😃😃
Took my 4th fall today. Day 8 of skating.
I see a lot of comments about being scared & i genuinely think if fear is at the forefront of your mind, this may not be for you. Theres been plenty of times when I’ve gone down from a rock on the sidewalk just riding my board so if that’s something that’s gonna be hard to overcome I think it’d be better for one’s safety to appreciate skating but not engage with it. These tips are immensely helpful but there is no 100% guarantee with sports like this, ride safe yall!
If you never do anything that scares you then life is not for you in general 😅
One time I fell and I rolled like 4 times to prevent myself from getting hurt. (not on purpose I guess it's like a reflex) ngl it worked I only had a few scratches on my arms and legs.
Not literally 4 times I'm just overreacting
Me talking out loud during the video:
"god man."
"How did you do that?"
"I cant even get on the board without being scared bro."
I can ride but its like learning all over again every time i get back on
i want to try skating but im a teenage girl whos always been protected from stuff like this.. even trying to fall on a carpet hurts a lot but i cant go back now, can i? I'm reallyyy scared but im sure it'll be fine!
It's gonna hurt. Nobody is saying it won't. But if you're willing to participate in an activity that has a risk of injury, you should learn how to be the safest you can possibly be, regardless of gender.
hi
i bought safety gear but i cant bring myself to use it, i feel so lame putting it on
Just do it man
Andy Anderson wears a helmet all the time and he's a pro. Don't be ashamed to look after yourself because of what someone else thinks.
it's way easier to try stuff when you feel safer, pads = faster improvement
Casts look stupider.
I insist my son wears his helmet and pads. He challenged me to get back on a skateboard, for the first time in nearly 20years. Lo and behold, I overstretched myself, forgetting to factor in how rusty I've gotten. I showed him how vital a helmet is and the advantage pads give. Without the helmet, I would have ended up with a fractured skull. The elbow pads saved me some very painful knocks. Honestly, just wear the pads. It's not lame.
How do I avoid falling on my hands I know I should make a fist but I can’t for the life of me, how do I re wire my muscle memory any tips? I hate myself for not being able to fall right after skating for 6 years
Why would you want to make a fist? It might hurt, but landing on an open palm is ultimately way better than landing on bare knuckles. There's more surface space and less change of sliding.
As was stated in this video itself, you shouldn't really be trying to land on your hands at all though. You've got to try to curl into a fetal position and aim for ending up on your back. I don't know if you're familiar with something like Rocket League at all, but imagine what you'd have to do to get a car in Rocket League to end up on its back when you're flying through the air. It doesn't come naturally to everyone, which is why you need to practice it repeatedly for ultimate safety.
This shouldve been the first thing i watched when first learning how to skateboard. Instead of watching how to do tricks first.
If you cut the first 11 seconds off from intro the watch time on this video will sky rocket like crazy 🚀🚀🚀
broke my wrist while skating and in want to come back but im so scared, idk how to overcome that fear ):
Going through the same thing but I broke my foot… been back on the board for a while now but still too scared to try ollieing even though I really want to.
@@jonahnolastnameneeded3130 hey man im so sorry about your broken foot i know is super hard and it really sucks going over a broken bone hope one day we can build better confidence to come back. last sunday a week ago, i stepped on a nail and my foot bleed a lot, now i cant walk... i really thought i could go back skateboarding, maybe is not for me no more ):
What about slipping out? That's definitely what's caused my worst falls.
just don’t learn tricks stationary
@@01suku77 what's that got to do with anything?
@@AnniBaby94 basically when you are rolling your board will be less likely to go in both ways since there is already a force
I'm only worried about banana peels, cant catch yourself when you fall on your back.
Understood ditching your beard XD
Ditch board - ✅
Ditch BEARD - ❌
😂
Dislocated my elbow 2nd day at the park... don't fall on an outstretched arm 🤦♂️
Don't let your Board Tap your Sack. Ouch.
I fell today… it hurt lol
3:38 is quite a bad advice, try to prefer to roll until there's really low speed. The thing is that when you learn to "walk" away a fall on medium speed, your brain will use the same approach for high speed. This approach is not scalable to good speeds and heights. And your brain will not try to figure out if it'll use roll or try to make quick steps in a millisecond - it'll use the method it uses most often. That's how people get rolled anckles and destroyed knees - just add a little bit more energy than your lower joimts can handle. Roll is alway safe, especially in protective gear.
UPD: yeah, briefly found at least one example to demonstrate (video not mine): ruclips.net/user/shorts0b58MtG0Vl0?si=HfC52DRntC6bK36o
So be water, my friend (c)
Im so afraid
"actual footage" lol
Oh God. We're not in a place in our society where you can make jokes about the way your girlfriend treats you anymore. lol
Hahaha really?!?! What a bummer! I didn't even consider that as a possibility...
dark souls players be like
🤣🤣🤣
Being very skinny and bony, rolling still hurts lol
All the more reason why you need to learn how to properly though. If you've got no meat protecting your bones, that's an easy way to end up in the ER from a bad fall.
man i wish i had a gf to teach me how to fall
I'm so fortunate to have her 🥲
U guys think 25 is a dangerous age 2 start skating
nah im turning 26 tomorrow and just picked up a skateboard for the first time in 10 years. it's really fun
Says helmet is important then don't using it. 😂
I like to just rag doll when I fall and its worked out for me pretty well, anything is better than falling stiff hallofmeat has shown me that
If you really want to practice how to fall in unpredictable scenarios, put on your helmet and pads, go to a grassy area and put on your blind fold then spin around 5 times and have a friend push you from a random direction 😂😂😂
If you pass that training you will be a champion "faller" when it comes to skateboarding 😆🛹🤙🏼
I just did 4 days of learning to skate and I fell a lot of times..🫡
Glad I was wearing the guards..
