As an old person, skate in both your natural and your switch stance from the very beginning. Also get comfortable skating with just your front foot, whether regular or switch..... This will help you push, over sketchy ground, make it way easier to bail from your board. ..... But skate in both stances..... This will save you so much time later.
I can’t. I’m right handed and right footed I guess too. I can’t balance switch or fake at all I can Ollie and shuv it but I can’t fucking roll up and down a ramp without falling off
@@Xippone2093 thinking that you "can't do it" makes things much harder than they need to. With proper progression you can do anything at your own pace. Something that sounds stupid but really works to come down to fakie, is to turn your head 180° when you are at the top. Also you can try pushing mongo to get on the board going backwards and gain a little speed.
I don’t know if you’ll read this but THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!! I went to the skate park for the first time today and I thought skating a ramp would be easy, i feel 3 times in a row and i started raining. It’s very different to flat which is what I’ve been doing for the whole time I’ve skated, THANK YOU!!! You’re actually the RUclips that motivated me to skate!!!
Watching skating ramp tutorials did more justice than I ever imagined-More so than trick videos. Thanks to he and others I've began braving Ramps with success. I wanna particularly point out how much I recall from tutorials that I'm able to apply that truly help. Whoop!
Can I just say how much I appreciate you. I love watching your videos and find them really helpfull and when I'm not feeling motivated to skate I watch one of you vids and I have the need to

2 years ive been skating flat and just 2 days ago was the first time i rolled down a 3m ramp, wich was the smallest where i live and just yesterday i learned it consistently, then i find this video 2021-08-01
Finally going back to skating and I'm trying to get to the real basics, since when I started, I went from learning to how to even stand on one to trying to do an ollie. I never really tried to do anything else because I was too excited about my first board. Really big help and I'm pumped to get back to the skate park.
You’re so endearing. I love your sense of humor, actually falling on video forward and backward for the example. I’m about to go on my first ramp - thank you for the mini prep! Looking forward to busting my ass again and again til I get it down 🙌🏼
Thank you for this video, it’s really hard for me to build up courage to do this, since I hurt my wrist skating up a ramp wrong and it’s hard to try it again.
Okay, pumping is a weird thing to explain. You think of your crouching and uncrouching as a jump instead of as independent movements. At the bottom of the ramp, you want to "jump" to the top of the ramp. This is so you lose less speed going up the ramp, and thus gain more going back down. When you're at the top of the ramp (the peak of your height) you "jump" down the ramp to accelerate rapidly. As you "land", you push off the ramp in order to build even more speed. This is the force VLSkate mentions. It's also a weird thing because sometimes it's beneficial to pump earlier or later depending on your trick. A later pump might make you flyout the ramp higher, which is one of my favorite tricks. An earlier pump might have you land squarely on the coping, good for stalls. Just play with it a bit once you get the basic concept.
I don't mean to say the video is bad, it's just that explaining pumping to someone who is just learning to roll up ramps is difficult, especially because unlike a kickflip where you see what's happening wrong when the board flips a certain way, bad pumping still looks like skating. Good work as always
Hey! I'm a new skateboarder, and I just got some protective gear today and found your channel! It's really helping out, definitely gonna try some new tricks today!
To all beginners if you go to the skate park ask someone who has a bigger board then you if you can try their board. This is my second day of skating I tried a bigger board and it worked much better
Does anyone have any ideas on where to find ramps or surfaces shaped like that outside of skateparks? There's only a few skateparks in my area, most don't have ramps that size and they are extremely crowded. I normally skate in parking decks, which replicates one side of the ramp, but not the other. comment if you have any suggestions
2:20 which genius thought it was a good idea to put a basketball field right next to some ramps for skateboarding?¿ Anyways great tutorial, thanks. Keep it up!
Sounds obvious, it worked for me though. Worry about yourself and don’t overthink everything you do, once you realize no one really judges you, you’ll have more confidence to focus on yourself and try not to compare yourself to others, everyone progresses at a different pace
Watched this video because I immediately flew forwards and ate shit the first time I tried to push towards a quarter pipe lol. Got scraped up pretty good but I just want to get back out there and try again.

I agree, i’m so glad i watched videos that gave that tip just before i started :)
Thanks for the tip. 32 and starting out I hadn't considered this

I cant push and ride switch, but fakie much much much better
This is the holy grail of beginner skaying videos. Thank you so much

No retreat, no surrender
Same I can barely even ride it😂
good luck
full send it 😤👊
Good luck homie ✊🏾

i dont sk8 transition but i still watch my man VLskate cause he a legend. The best out there.
Hey man love your vid's, got me really into skating a couple years ago and now I can skate vert. Keep up the good work!
Good tip I got: look where you're going. So, when you're coming back down, you're looking away from the ramp.
This was what changed my game.
I really wish my skatepark had a mini ramp
2 years ive been skating flat and just 2 days ago was the first time i rolled down a 3m ramp, wich was the smallest where i live and just yesterday i learned it consistently, then i find this video 2021-08-01
i started picking back up learning how to skate to impress this hot dude, thank you
i just got most of this down, but i’m sure this helps all the beginner transition skaters out there :)
Thank you I’m a new skater and I really enjoyed this tutorial your tutorials are always helpful so thank you so much!

He uploaded after a while, lets go, best channel to learn
Just in time!! Started hitting ramps recently
This little backyard skatepark is awesome
I just went to a skate park for a first time, things really changed my perspective since i was used to street skating 🔥 🙏
This video would’ve been nice to watch a couple weeks ago when I ate shit and sprained my wrist and elbow😭
OUCH
Thanks I have been skating for a little bit and wanted to give this is a try … super helpful!
That’s looks like the perfect size ramp to start with. Can you give dimensions if we want to build our own?
Height, width, flat, transition radius?

Im literally trying to learn to pump, thank you
YOU'RE BACK!!

Hey sup, did you eat some concrete?
@@enzotruko why do you say that? I don't recall saying anything stupid in my comment.
@@fearlessfallon15 i didn't mean to be rude, but normally when someone tries to drop in for the first time they fall, that's why i'm asking
Bro, I'm so new like I haven't even been to a skatepark, I've never been on a ramp, I've been doing is practicing olllies
@@fearlessfallon15 lol, good luck then
Great videos; love it!

i love your videos man
I needed this
Very helpful man thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🖤
Just hit my first ramp today thanks
Started monday skating Vert, thanks!
this made me want to start (trying to) skate again
Just do it. I restarted at 44 ;-)
Welcome back!!!!
Love the vids keep up the good work
Babe wake up new VL video
As a beginner this will really help
Hey bro i watch your vids since i beginned skating
I"ve now a broken foot
But i watch your Videos because its fun and cool to see a good skater
See ya
Great video pal!!
@3:49 this is me on even tiny ramps. I can skate slopes ok but I either can't translate it across to a ramp or my brain is getting in the way!
The whole thing on a “don’t find a too big of a ramp” can I use a bowl that’s not that tall because in my city it’s vert ramps
Does anyone have any ideas on where to find ramps or surfaces shaped like that outside of skateparks? There's only a few skateparks in my area, most don't have ramps that size and they are extremely crowded.

He fell so many times for this video 😭🤚🏼
@VLSkate I want to start skating so are there any boards, trucks, grips, wheels, or anything in general that you recommend or use?
Just what I needed
is dropping in necessary for learning to skate or street skate?
bro i dropped in today, consistent too !!!
ayyyyyyyy hes back
When doing an ollie or any kind of trick, is it bad to look down at your board when rolling towards an obstacle? If you get what I mean
what is the best is it kik sooter or skatebord
I can roll fakie OKish but cant pump, i practised 2 sessions of a couple hours. Is it just me or is pumping a bit hard to learn?
How do I Practice? Cuz my skate kinda sucks I mean there's rams high median in small but the ground is basically like a rocky road
Tysm for this video!!
Great video this is helpful!
Cool video; also, can you please make a 5 easy rail tricks?
Transitions riding looks fun, I just wish my town had an outdoor park I could visit whenever
edit: spelling
same
super helpful I am a noob so this helps.
He is the best❤🎉
2:20 which genius thought it was a good idea to put a basketball field right next to some ramps for skateboarding?¿
Anyways great tutorial, thanks. Keep it up!
So you could play a combo of HORSE and SKATE.
@@gavinfoote_Music_Surf oh boy i do not wanna know how many people would get hurt lol
@@juliaslkdd Hahaha
Hey! Thats conners park! what a sm staple
I need this
Hey man, I have an issue. I skate regular but when I try to trick, I do it goofy. Do you have any tips?
HE HAS A WHOLE RAMP ON HIS BACKYARD WTH?
Nice man
Thank you!
What skate shoes do you use? I need some new ones.
How do you follow up with your backfoot after an ollie i cant. ;(
Not a beginner on ramps, but i clicked just in case 🤷♂️
Thanks so much perfect for me
How do you get the confidence to skate in public? I just started and I feel like everyone else is so much better than me and I feel like an idiot :(
Sounds obvious, it worked for me though. Worry about yourself and don’t overthink everything you do, once you realize no one really judges you, you’ll have more confidence to focus on yourself and try not to compare yourself to others, everyone progresses at a different pace
Does it have to be the stake board your using?
What board should I get for bowl?
Can you do a nollie heelflip tutorial?
thanks!
Big fan bro I am nepali 🤠
awesome
How high is that mini ramp?
Dropping in is now a little scarier than before because today I hit my face really hard trying to drop in
Wish I saw this and the other dropping in video before I broke my foot trying to drop in lmao
It’s funny because I’ve been skating for a year and I haven’t even bothered to drop in. I do know how to rock to fakie and just pumping.
Powerslide tutorial please??
Good bro
Sick
i can imagine all of the people that disliked are the ones who fell trying this
wish I read this for my first visit to the skatepark. My legs are still in pain
Where are you from tell me please
Are you at Conners park
Hey im a new skater but im scared because im overweight and dont wanna fall
I slam everytime I try rock to fakie I need help
yowwww dis yo boyy shadie from ohio!!!
Watched this video because I immediately flew forwards and ate shit the first time I tried to push towards a quarter pipe lol. Got scraped up pretty good but I just want to get back out there and try again.
Knee bending is important as long if your knees are bend you cannot be thrown off, just fall to your knees with your arms up, or runouts
