So I bought my first skateboard... at 46 years old. Certified physics teacher here: really nice explanation of the whole process including weight transfer, loading, center of mass, and form. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
I am so stoked for you!!! Honored that a certified nerd has given this nerd a stamp of approval. Take your time and choose your learning environment carefully. Also check out the how to push videos here: part 1 ruclips.net/video/cCUDU2pJwZY/видео.html part 2 ruclips.net/video/YEFP8WGYM_Q/видео.html These will help you get past the wobbles! Have fun and let me know if we can help answer questions.
@@unitedstatesskateboardeduc5205 haha! Yep, your vectors really helped me understand the weight distribution and movement process so much better than the other videos I watched and got me a lot further than my lifelong skater friend's explanation of "just keep doing it, you'll figure out out" Thanks for the recommendations! I'm going to be checking out all your videos too. Coming into it gradually, luckily my prior surfing really helped with the balance aspect. I'm just trying to stay ahead of my 8 and 10 year old sons who got their first boards. Nothing could possibly go wrong here... 🤣 Thanks again for taking the time to produce this!
Thank you for making this video, it was EXACTLY what I needed. In particular, leaning you weight then not lifting your wheels until you have to and secondly, loading and lifting the front foot to get the wheels up.
Love the deep dive video breakdowns. Thanks! 9:05 So I imagine this idea of how the spine bends to the nose of the board affects other things like dropping-in as well? I'd like to see a transition basics video.
Thanks for the support and feedback! I am literally working on a drop in video this week! You're right about the effect of the spine. The spine has a powerful impact on leverage along the longitudinal axis:) or length of the board. The core is controlled by the legs so that becomes a huge factor as well. When you get the spine and the legs working together drop-in's are not so scary and really fun. I'll be breaking down, pumping both linear and while carving bowl pockets/corners in the near future as well.
dearest coach I'm 53 old and I've trained skateboarding with your videos .I managed carving too and that in 21 days .Thank you your son and your co coach .Love from sweden.
Wow, really awesome content! You mentioned that we will miss some things. Your videos are easily the most in-depth skateboarding videos I have ever seen. Now I see why I have a problem with carving because I was focusing on just pressing down on my toes or heels but not the rest of the stuff you mention here. I know you're not talking about carving, but I would think the idea would be similar. I would be thinking why am I not turning when I am putting all my weight on my toes or whatever. I was the one commenting on the captions. Maybe I should send my observations in private so I don't clutter up the comments on the video.
Thank you for the support! Feel free to share your comments. That stuff only makes me better:)! I'm going to do a full breakdown on carving and you're spot on. A lot of the mechanics of tic tac's are relevant in carving. I think it's really easy to make the assumption that the seemingly easy stuff is easy when in reality it takes a lot of practice and trial and error to learn it. Creating the most effective angles throughout the joints of your body on your skateboard to help carve is critical. As you challenge yourself with speed or hills or bowls etc I think its so important to understand how to use your body before you try it and get taught the hard way... Let me know if there is anything you're really interested in and I will gladly break it down in one of our episodes:)!
Also, another shout-out for your Nerdy breakdown videos. I love the methodical detail, and it's really helped me visualize these maneuvers as I'm just starting out. Cheers!
Really great scientific breakdown of the movement involved. I get really stiff trying this, so I think leaning the core will help me a lot. I’ll get over the wobbles soon enough.
You're not alone and it's easy for fear to creep in and block your movement. You're not alone! Start with putting more attention to the range of motion you have in your ankles when you try to make these moves. Ankles so key...
Looser trucks allow the board to tip much easier which will be helpful in developing more momentum as you lean into each kickturn. However, this will also make the board a little less stable. If you're a newer to skating just try loosening the trucks a little at a time to make sure it doesn't impede your overall balance. As you develop feel you will likely want to loosen trucks more. There are some great surf skate style videos out there that really show what loose trucks can allow you to do with your board in terms of building momentum.

So glad this helped you. The fundamentals are so important and arent always easy to learn on your own!
Love the deep dive video breakdowns. Thanks!

I made another comment here but I don't see it. So I don't know if it didn't get sent or if it went to the spam folder

So glad that the content connects! Let me know if there is anything I can help you with as you learn.

Very engineered explanation! Thanks from S.Korea!
Stoked you liked it! Love that skateboarding is a universal language for all of us nerds!
Amazing explanation . Thank you
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great vid thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.
Good, more explanation details, Thanks you.
You are welcome!
thanks a lot for teaching
You are most welcome!!!
Thank! very useful！
Glad it was helpful! Let us know if there's any other subjects you'd like to cover. We're love to help you learn!
Should I tighten or loosen up my trucks to tic tac? Will it be more difficult to tic tac on loose trucks in terms of physics?
Looser trucks allow the board to tip much easier which will be helpful in developing more momentum as you lean into each kickturn. However, this will also make the board a little less stable. If you're a newer to skating just try loosening the trucks a little at a time to make sure it doesn't impede your overall balance. As you develop feel you will likely want to loosen trucks more.

Need the same tuto for manual please
Manuals are now on the list:). If you have video of yourself learning please share and I will use you in the edit.
