I need a series complete dedicated to how to learn Falling confidently and without injury, i flinch when i pop and my instinct to always stay upright and in control has haulted my progress.
Don't forget to just practice rolling on the floor or bed, so that it becomes muscle memory. Then in theory any time you fall in any situation you should roll/fall better. Although a good video about how to 'fall' definitely helps. Also I don't think it necessarily has to be a skateboard video although those do exist. I remember watching Nigel (from NkaVids) have a tutorial how to fall correctly on the braille channel.
Go to jiu jitsu for a couple lessons😂. Anyways you have to roll on your shoulders and the ground should NOT touch your spine, learn a jiu jitsu roll from yt, practice on grass then on concrete👍
I nearly gave up skating today because I couldn’t bring myself to drop in. I don’t know why, but just seeing other begginers like max and sofia fail but keep on going helped me reconsider. This is one of the many reasons i watch these videos. I get to see other people’s progress how they go through the same struggles
honestly man dropping in is all in your head like max says. if you get your board on the ramp and dont instantly hit it down you wont do it. just get up there and place both feet on the board. even if you dont drop in when you get on the coping and have both feet on the board it makes you feel more confident with dropping in. Im also a bit new still but dropping in was one of the first things i learned because its one of the only skating moves that dont require any skill other than being abe to ride the board. when you are up on the ramp clear your mind and lean forwards. i promise you falling forward off the ramp doesnt hurt, falling backwards however is so so so much worse. for me dropping in is like swallowing a pill beacuse i hate swallowing pills, just throw it in the back of your mouth and gulp. same concept here, just put your board up and push down whilst leaning in. get someone to hold your hands when you first do it as it will give you the confidence to do it. also try and work your way up from smaller ramps to bigger and bigger. sorry if this was very scrambled i cant type too coherently when im tired bc of my rampant adhd lmao
Dropping in is the make or break of skaters. I am working on it too. But it's definitely a lot more encouraging if you got a friend to cheer you on and makes it feel less awkward.
I don't know why people always jump to technical. Skipping things like balance, pushing, and safe bailing is like learning to play basketball by starting with layups and dunks and skipping the fundamentals like running while dribbling the ball. And yes, I have spent whole park sessions just pushing and bailing. If you're just starting, do yourself a favor and spend at least week on basics. Do not start with ollies or grinds until you can start, stop, and coast comfortably over a variety of surfaces for a minute or two at a time.
A big mistake that I see with skateboard is that people want to jump to tricks immediately. I met a kid that had 4 months of skate but could barely ride. In one push I could cover the distance that he did in 3. He basically just watched pros like Nijay Huston and tried to do cool shit fast. I get it, but learning how to ollie stationary is useless. When I started I was only interested in cruising and tried to learn the ollie to not interrupt my riding. That was a blessing in disguise because that was more important. Braille helped because I took the learn how to ride to heart. Honestly the first month should be about that and learning how to park, kick turn in ramps, drop in, nose stall, rock to fakie, going down slopes, bumptrakcs. Those are actually achievable in a month. The girl actually learned how to ride but she's still missing things, like you know, learning how to even put the board down. It's really the little things.
@@B3llyk0 Not saying the contrary but this is a video about learning how to skate. Unfortunately a lot of people stifle their growth by going straight to tricks to hard and not taking safety precautions. Ironically, if he learned the basics he could get to tricks faster.
ricky ! keep holding it down the people love your content and skating. years ago watched u , mog thrasher and a few more but i’m glad i found helpful skaters like u that create the community , notis on for sure
5:30 In my experience while learning the drop in, it was way harder on a bank because the moment you loos the weight on the tail, when you lean forward, the board starts to move. That does not happen if it is lockd in the coping. On a pank I needed to realy smash down the nose and slowly get rid of that smack down move to get a feeling for the pressure I needed on the nose. On the quater it is more natural IMO
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Please brother give it a try Seek God Jesus it’s not about religion but about a relationship with the Creator God is real and He wants a friendship with you ❤️❤️❤️
yo your video was definetely very real and inspiring. when I began about 3 years ago, my progress looked alot like this too, but it took me another 6 months to actually learn the drop in. you have balls of steel to consistently commit like this, very impressive! hope you still having fun and shredding.
LMAO im 2 months in and can only ollie because i realy want it to be super consistent and easy. i cant like half land a backside shuv but doesnt really count. i cant rock and roll, rock to fakie, and staple gun on a 2 foot ramp at the park.
This video is great just because it shows how much you can progress with consistency. So I’m about to turn 40 and I was a decent rollerblader back in the day. I miss that fun progression at the start of it all at the skate park and I never learned any technical stuff on a board so I’ve just picked one up. Just getting used to skating again and learning to Ollie now. Always wanted to skate bowls too. Also in Melbourne.
My 8 yr old son was dropping in after about an hour at the skate park. Young kids learn stuff so quick, it ain’t fair :) He’s now obsessed with skating…
There is no way that is his day 1, he's skated before. You don't learn that kind of natural foot placement or get close to completing an ollie on your first day.
4:30 no hate i swear im just wondering what the hell this set up is , im assuming they moved the living room around so he could practice in there or else that makes no sense
i think if someone trying to get real good at sk8boarding he should take his first three days about only getting a good board feel and roling down alot and after that trying basic trick like shuvs and olie
I’ll never forget my first day learning to skate they told me to lean forward oh I leaned forward all right and fell on my face and then I landed it like 5th try
not fair he's got a coach! when i started in the early 2000s, the ollie came quick, then the heelflip in like 2 weeks, and then like a whole year for a kickflip 😬
I’m only like two months in so you def don’t have to listen to me, but I had the same problem for about two weeks when I was learning to Ollie, and the answer is just do it. You have to have experience making mistakes and in this case falling to learn how to fix it. Also you’ll learn if your just riding, everything but a face plant really doesn’t hurt too bad.
Hitting my spine on the corner of a sofa may actually improve it. Edit: please don't point both of your feet towards the front of the board / direction of motion, point your feet away from each other lads.
When I was a kid we had about a dozen of us skating daily together in the neighborhood This one kid had joined us later on, but he was a prodigy & became better than all of us in like a month flat, he learned all the hard tricks & could do everything higher & cleaner than everyone kinda outta nowhere But on the flip side, one kid never could do anything but Ollie like 1 inch, even after years he made literally no progress somehow, in retrospect it was kinda sad, I think he just wanted friends but didn’t actually like Skateboarding As for me I was middle of the pack, but broke my foot in 3 places at once trying to ollie a 6 set again AFTER my board broke. I ended up bailing & my foot just folded like a lawn chair running down the stairs
@@solartea_ I opted out of surgery on my foot because I was scared so to this day my foot melded itself back together in a strange way and looks crooked and I was never able to skate the same again either because every time I slide my foot up the board my foot would feel tender Not only that but my family fell on hard times shortly after and I had to move away from all my skater buddies so needless to say I eventually ended up just quitting It was a very difficult year or two for me but skip ahead like 20 years and life is fine 🤷🏽
but in fact, i also unlocked a kickflip in the second month since i started to skate, even tho its sketchy as hell but it really made me happy hahaha, watching this kinda type video make me nostalgia 😂
i have another idea, if you have extremely super long hair you have it made as it will have a cushion to fall on. as for looks nah but looking metal like headbanging yup and of course the basics of skateboarding,
Yeah Rick, but in MY experience you don't learn how to Ollie in your first 30 days with out ANY experience. That first guy skated before, for sure, imo.
bro but im ong learn an ollie in my first 30 days, and i was never touch a single skateboard before, 7 days learn to tic tac and a lil kickturn , and then bout 4 days to learn stationary ollie then to the moving ollie for the rest, i also unlocked a stationary kickflip in the second month, even tho it sketchy but i got it few times, but yea sure everyone has a different experience and its totally fine, who even need to rush cuz the most important thing at skating is having fun right? ✌🏼
He would have gotten cleaner kick flips by putting his foot higher up towards the front truck. That's why he's landing more towards the tail. Get the flick right and the kick flip falls into place.
Completing a kick flip in 10 days is lie. There no way this guy has never skated. You can tell when someone is comfortable on a board, he obviously is.
Complete bullshit progressions. Getting comfortable pushing regular and switch takes atleast 1 month, and thats if youre riding everyday multiple hours. After that, its crabwalks, kicktail turns etc. I have yet to see a realistic progression video.

always save vital parts. follow your instincts. thats all you have to know. the rest is learning by doing.
Braille skateboarding. They have a series called skateboard made simple or something
Go to jiu jitsu for a couple lessons😂. Anyways you have to roll on your shoulders and the ground should NOT touch your spine, learn a jiu jitsu roll from yt, practice on grass then on concrete👍
Roll your skateboard into grass. Then fall intentionally. That’s a good way to practice

Yeah it's wild how many people think learning to ollie comes before just properly riding/turning/pushing lol

the thing is, if he liked to land tricks, let him do it

i love watching these videos ricky cuz im not really good at it and i love watching peoples process
My ollie's getting a bit better, but then i see litterly every youtuber do it in 0.3294 seconds and my confidences just collapses
same but i just remember how fun skating is and how everyone’s skating is different
@@mrlost470 exactly that!
Keep going dude
@@RussellStephens-ng4uc thanks
Be one with the board, feel it as an extension of self & be confident
Gonna be picking up my first board this weekend, glad I came across this video, definitely going to follow Sofia now ☺️
Nothing can ever beat the sense of accomplishment. Way to go
just riding around is definitely one of the best things to do as a beginner, dont rush
Hey! Thanks for including my video 🤣
Alsoo the country is Canada! A random city/town in Ontario
You killed it! I hope you keep shredding and enjoy skateboarding! All the best :)
Are you gonna upload new videos?
oh shit I thought that spot looked familiar. I won't dox you or anything but I was literally at that first park today haha

Hay Ricky is that a surfboard in the background in a silver bag.. With the guy in his garage... ???
Tell me why I learned hot to drop in firs try bc i was drunk and sum guy told me just stomp on the bolts and the homies said dont b a bitch so had 2
I just started skating today and busted my ass a whole bunch of times . Honestly can’t wait for tomorrow to come so I can keep getting better.
My 8 yr old son was dropping in after about an hour at the skate park. Young kids learn stuff so quick, it ain’t fair :)

He had a teacher dumbass
4:30 no hate i swear im just wondering what the hell this set up is , im assuming they moved the living room around so he could practice in there or else that makes no sense
Looks like a basement where they put spare furniture/hang out
Hey Ricky these videos are the best please don’t stop
Thanks!
Fair play to these guys, PROGRESS!! 🤙🏻
MELBOURNE REPRESENT 😍
I saw this video and tried to ollie but just fell over and hurt my elbow
Keep trying!! Step by step :) (i hope your elbow is Ok!!🤣)
Hey i watched this video too! Great review. Love from Melbourne ❤

The skatepark is Waterloo skatepark in Ontario Canada haha, Was so random to see one of my locals in a video lol
Why not use pads when starting out? I don’t care if pros don’t use them, but for beginners it’s just stupid.
It’s probs cuz it limits mobility sometimes especially the knees
I love your vids Ricky
thanks!
I have a question i'm a new skater and why do peoples shoes look broken?
the nativities of a new skater are crazy but it sort of makes them more ballsy
First dude kinda looks like the guy who played Luther in Umbrella Academy
I'm trying to skate again but super scared of falling. Idk what to do. I'm not conformable riding on a skateboard

Use protection. Not worth it getting hurt early and be forced to rest for weeks.
Hitting my spine on the corner of a sofa may actually improve it.
Edit: please don't point both of your feet towards the front of the board / direction of motion, point your feet away from each other lads.
I learned rolling ollies by being pissed off at another trick, i think it was pop shuv or shuv Still scared shitless to try grinds though.
this guy is almost better then me and i have been skating for 3 years
how. the. fuck. did the first guy ollie so well on his first day
When I was a kid we had about a dozen of us skating daily together in the neighborhood

Ollie looks good!
6:07 board went to rock to fakie😂
been skating two years and still cant ollie, i think theres something wrong with me
u dont commit enough time and dedication to it.
@@Nick199607 i recently got a new board with better grip tape and improved my feet work over the last month and now i can ollie
I have trouble committing I can shove it and Ollie good in grass but I can't do it on concrete
good video :D I'm also taking up skateboarding again hehe I only get the ollie :/
Nice skateboarding video

2 years into skating and i still cant kickflip
are you saying popcorn or pop con i cant tell
Popcorn
Wow. I've been skateboarding for a couple months and can only do an ollie. I can barley do it while rolling. Lol
Yeah Rick, but in MY experience you don't learn how to Ollie in your first 30 days with out ANY experience. That first guy skated before, for sure, imo.

Dude i learned my Ollie on like my 23rd day
The secret to drop in is to lean forward completly with your body. Sry bad english Im french
YO RICKY IM THE 1ST AND REMEMBER WHEN I DID THE DAY 1-26 OF TRYING TO GET PINNED BY RICKY GLASER!
ALSO LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Not first
these videos are the best

Skating's hard, Dammit.
I like how bros outro is i like sk8
Can I get a old deck of urs ❤❤ from south Africa
Pretty well doing the same thing at 29 haven't skated in 8 years 😅
I could drop in on a 7ft quarter before I could ollie
Determination is the only key ingredient in learning anything. How bad do you want it?-!
not me taking off my trucks to try carpet boarding
Ricky sounds like Aaron Kyro but australian
OMG Melbourne.
The first thing you should learn to do on a skateboard is to push and tick tack.
And first
No
that poor broom handle
Put on some jeans girl! Dope though.
I like my women with a little more padding. For safety's sake of course.
skateboud
Lol she’s tough
gotta be fake how does this guy kickflip on day 10 but can't ollie over a broom on day 13 naaaaaah something is fishy
Completing a kick flip in 10 days is lie. There no way this guy has never skated. You can tell when someone is comfortable on a board, he obviously is.
30 days of realistic skateboarding progression is not progressing whatsoever
