Number one trick to learn. “Ride”. Ride your board everywhere. Get comfortable on it. Then this video. Don’t underestimate how important just moving on the board is, it’s fundamental. Everyone wants to do tricks right away, but riding should be priority. All that being said, plenty of simple tricks to do in this video. All needed to get better. Hope everyone learns something or at least gets reminded of something and tries it out. More skaters the better!
This is so true. I rode a longboard for like 2yrs and then stopped for 4yrs and decided to get an actual skateboard and I’m so damn uncomfortable on the board. I can’t do big pushes at all
Sure but nowadays any skater with basic moves should be able to ollie. The standards are different. Learning ollies after learning how to roll and tic-tacs is perfectly fine.
I’ve watched probably a dozen Ollie tutorials now and just still can’t get it and this is absolutely the best video I’ve seen for beginner beginner basics
glad you saw this video then. there are 100s of other things you can do besides the ollie. ive even seen videos of female skaters skating transition at skateparks fluidly before they even attempt an ollie. dont be hyperfocused on that one trick. just enjoy the ride. you got this !
@@scizophrenic2602 Exactly. Acid drops, curb slides, boneless, poor man's nose stall, nose stall sex change. Poor man's nose stalls will help one get off the ground especailly if they gradually work their way up to higher surfaces, not just curbs. Skating transitions is super fun too. No need to ollie. All those tricks will make a skater better, while enjoying the ride.
01:20 | 1. tictac 02:14 | 2. tail stop shuffle 03:15 | 3. tail stop to rail stand 05:06 | 4. monster walks & 05:48 penguin walks 06:55 | 5. do all tricks in one sequence Great vid Mike! Really makin me wanna get a freestyle board now.
Are freestyle boards different? And are they more "welcoming" if you want to learn this type of skateboarding? Edit: Ahh never mind, I'm having a field day at their website rn :D
Very nice, as someone who is probably much older, heavier, and unathletic compared to the average total beginner, its really encouraging to see good tutorials for simple, foundation building tricks that I can learn with low risk of injury.
So you know, youre gonna get hurt skating no matter what. The importance is to wear protection so its not that bed and so you can get right back up again.
If you are older and don’t want to get hurt, what is wrong with just riding the board? Why do you need to learn tricks. If you want to learn tricks you can’t be afraid to fall. I’m not trying to fall on my older bones and I’m wanting to get back on a board after having a heart transplant. I just miss having a reason to go outside.
ey man i got my first drop through yesterday at 28 (had a skateboard in my teens but i only used it to go from a to b) just enjoy i mostly wanna use it to go places but i think the ollie would be super useful for me. curbs and that
All this fancy footwork reminds me so much of figure skating, and it seems to use a lot of the same skills. As an ex figure skater that just recently started skateboarding, I’m excited to try some of these
Freestyle is awesome. I don't know if you're familiar with Rodney Mullen but he made a whole career as a freestyle skater in the 1980s and then he adapted those tricks to street style. He invented the kickflip, flat ground ollie, impossible, heel flip among other difficult tricks. If you're familiar with him, well then you know.
Thanks for this video! I didn’t realize how much nicer basketball courts and tennis courts are than parking lot asphalt. I tried skating on a basketball court today, and tricks were so much easier! I was able to check these tricks off, and they definitely helped my little ollies
great tips. this whole rush to do the ollie first can be rough. back int he 80s i did just that because thats all i saw Natas doing over high stuff. 100s of other things you can do on a skateboard before you even consider the ollie. great video. very helpful to anyone who picks up a skateboard.
Fantastic tricks for basic board comfort 👍 I think hippy jump's a huge help with timing and giving learners a sense of the bolts and balancing across the deck's long axis.
I bought a board as a gift for myself with all the good stuff and can’t wait to get on it and have fun and maybe after I get used to riding around I can try these neat moves :-) ♡
i definitely appreciated seeing some tricks that are considered “easier” than ollie’s. i went into skating with the impression that the ollie was the foundation of most tricks and that id be limited to just cruising around until i could master it. i’m excited to try these out and hopefully get closer to getting my board off of the ground! thanks for the video! 🌸🛹
Yk what as a 13 year old skater who is a girl this has really given me the confidence to try out more tricks for example I’ve been doing it for abt 4 months and I can ride the board nicely do manuals tictaks duck walk or (penguin walk) soccer flip, and others and this video has rlly helped me, also I love how you didn’t cut out the parts where you messed up on your board that I found was a great way to show even pros like you make mistakes!
Yes indeed. Because it will make landing that much easier when you are comfortable on the board. I think back in the day a lot of people got discouraged because you had to learn to Ollie then kick flip. Most people couldn’t get it down and gave up I think. I just want to ride now, but I will go over these tricks again. I’ll leave out the ones that will scratch the bottom of my board though. Until I get a junk board.
It’s odd to me cuz I started skateboarding in 1999 I was 6 i naturally went through these steps I never thought about kids missing the essentials. Good work everyone who’s interested in skateboarding listen to this
Got the Tic-Tacs down, the rail stand land one was amazing advice it’s a feeling I’m getting used to still, then I nailed the penguin so I took it to the next step and the monster walk really isn’t that hard. Thank you for the helpful tips and inspiration!
That was cool! Thanks a lot, cause i’ve been struggling to complete ollie, lacking that ability to land on the board. Will practice those for more balance!
Where were you 20 years ago dude. 😢 You're so kind and informative. I'd probably be an amazing skater right now if had these lessons instead of haters everywhere
my skating days are long behind me but this was such a good video and I would encourage any new skater, regardless of style - to really pay this close attention. Between Braille and Waltz we're in a golden age of skateboard knowledge that I wish I had as a kid.
Getting a solid, comfortable, accurate 180 turn on flat ground is so important. Frontside and backside. Perfect trick for beginners that improves all forms of skateboarding.
its kinda frustrating not being able to ollie at a skatepark cuz it severely limits what you can do so its nice having some other things to try also 2:16 gotta love scarlet fire
*6:21** Something I've noticed about a lot of very skilled skaters is that they seem to be stuck in their forte. Or entitled to it? Ha. Gotta love.* Correction: You're a totally awesome and amazingly helpful guy, a freestyler and a skater. Like the rest of anyone that rides on things that you don't.
Damm, this bro is amazing. This is the most detailed technical video I've seen recently. Big thanks to this man. Can you guys who read my cmt recommend more channels similar to the above video (for beginners like me need some help lol)? I feel very appreciated.
You skateboard like there is no skateboard. Nice man Good advice btw. I can snowboard and longboard. This is a good way to learn to leave the board 'behind' Thaaaaanks
I would assume so, but it would be much harder, especially for a beginner. Cruisers tend to be bigger and heavier (thought not always) and often have smaller tails. But give it a go anyway
Oliie is over hyped and have almost not style. Now, a Sal flip, no comply, or boneless are sic ways to get the board off the ground. I can't do any of them but I'm trying to get there before ollie. Oh! Yeah. Awesome video man. These will definitely help. Thanks
Freestyle is the basis for all street tricks. My 2 cents if it’s worth anything is Newtons theory of motion. Something that is in motion tends to stay in motion until it looses momentum. How you say does this help you in your OLLIES you ask? Well my pet peeve is people who learn Ollie’s not moving. It’s literally not helping you. Have you ever tried to stand on a bike withought moving ? You fall over correct ? Well it’s the same with the skateboard. If you are rolling forward you gain stability. After you master going straight fast you will have stability and you can start to learn to tap your tail . You don’t have to nail it the first time and go huge. I prefer learning slowly step bye step. Always moving forward and faster as you feel comfortable.. If you try to learn these things in the grass as this guy says it’s my opinion that you get into bad habits. Big Ollie’s need a lot of speed and learning to float your Ollie’s is very important. You cannot learn these things standing still, and even worse I see guys standing, still practicing these things, not facing forwards because they’re not going forward, so they get into this really bad habit of looking sideways and cranking their Ollies to their back and the whole idea of an alley is to go forward and over the obstacle The best way to do that is to be almost looking completely forward and learning how to go fast wow using leverage and cracking your board up into your legs.. Don’t get into bad habits. Remember, you should be squared up. Almost forward. Or at,least semi squared up… I hope some of this help somebody ..keep trying and have fun. That’s the most important part.

Riding is a trick, damn wobbly boards.

This is so true. I rode a longboard for like 2yrs and then stopped for 4yrs and decided to get an actual skateboard and I’m so damn uncomfortable on the board. I can’t do big pushes at all
True i am very comfortable doing Ollies while its static but soo uncomfortable to even push 😂oops

There were decades of skating, entire careers, before anyone ever jumped off the ground!

No there wasn’t, years maybe, not decades.
You could say that about any sport ever, things are different now

what r dank pods?
can someone tell me what trick he did at 0:55
Yeah i also require answers
That's pogo
@@BibekShah-v9r No it's not
casper flip i think
I learned how to burt slide and different ways to fall going fast, and tail stop, then Ollie air walk and a few others before Ollie

This is a great alternative to the standard “steps to ollie” videos
dude is literally playing hacky sack with his skateboard
wat
Really vital video, thank you!!
I like this video. Saved for watching multiple times
rly helpedd man thanks
Its all about leverage to make tricks easier. Shorter wheelbase, narrower width will be much lighter than a wide and long wheelbase.
That was so good at the end
LOVE THIS!! thanks for breaking this down.....everyone wants to move to Ollie and it's one thing to do it on grass vs. Moving....=)
Heck yeah!

Nice tricks are the wheel regular ones? ,the seems kind of slower which is great for training
honestly I learned how to Ollie first but these are a super fun challenge because you don't always develop all these skills just learning to Ollie
i can can already ollie (goofy) was just tryna look for tricks to trick switch but i’ll try these goofy
I'm having some balance issues??? Should I soften up the bushing instead??? I'm putting these rock hard white bushings and kind not helping?? 😵💫😭

When I tried to learn the primo I used a tables to support me and almost killed myself
Great tutorial
Bros nice with it
I want to get into skateboarding so bad. I looked up a video on skateboarding once on RUclips and now it’s all I see 😭
Just into skating a year ago, normal popsical board (double kick) will this help for board control? Need to get comfortable with balance etc

Can these tricks be done on a cruiser board? I am a beginner and I'm not quite sure if I should even be watching this cause of my cruiser 😅
I would assume so, but it would be much harder, especially for a beginner. Cruisers tend to be bigger and heavier (thought not always) and often have smaller tails. But give it a go anyway
Awesome video, I like these! Does it worth to try on a street deck too?
I’ve been doing these on my street deck so its safe to say you can!
definitely possible on a street deck.
Rail stands on a street deck can feel slightly wobbly but it's still possible. You just have to try harder on balancing it but not impossible.

Skid plates! Check them out on our website
Freestyle is the basis for all street tricks. My 2 cents if it’s worth anything is Newtons theory of motion. Something that is in motion tends to stay in motion until it looses momentum.

Thank you!
I’m old school 80s skateboarder , have not tried any tricks in years . Would a old heavy board work for this path to master the Ollie ?
Awesome to have some tricks to do between ollie practice, as it can be frustrating and monotonous. Plus those combos look sick! 🤘🏻
i have a larger board so the monster walk is weird for me, but still trying
thanks
Can these tricks be done on a street skate?
what kind of board and shoes are that?
The best thing you can learn is how to fall over. It's never as bad as you think and you learn to roll. Gives confidence.
