At the end of his video, he decided to Longboard. He enjoyed riding more. Maybe one day he will try tricks again, but still rad he stuck with pushing around Spain.
I always feel like I’m the only adult beginner, and seeing these people struggle like me motivates me to keep trying, and maybe appreciate the little victories a bit more 😊
Yo don’t give up. Skating culture can be “elite” at times. They’ll throw around words like you are a poser etc. Don’t pay them any mind. You do you. If you can only ride without falling and that’s good for you, then that’s victory. Set your own goals.
Nope, you're not. Just got back into skateboarding after not skating since 2006(I sucked back then since I only skated for a few months). I'm 42 now. No reason to feel weird or awkward. Just do what makes you happy and let the gatekeepers be mad.
I was 42 when I for the first time ever stood on a skateboard. First thing I did was just learned to get on it and push. Everything after that was learning through braile and some tutelage from kids at the park. I'm now 2½ years into skate and ride ramps and bowls. Also being in my 40's, old bones knee braces, elbow, knee pads and helmet are a must
I've learned how to pop shove it in my home and I feel like I'm not going to progress anymore, unless somebody teaches me. The problem is: I'm scared of public places, I feel like everybody is judging me 24/7
Nice video! I remember how tough was at the beginning. I can't stand over my skate. I was 33 years old and falling hurts like hell. I'm proud of me now. I'm not Tony Hawk but I enjoy every day.
I'm really loving these videos man. Thanks for taking the time to put them together as I know editing can be kind of arduous. Hope your knee is healing well so you can shred again in the near future!
I watched the second guys video you watched & it made me feel better about my level of skating 😅 Making me remember how hard it really is to skate 🛹 Love the content Ricky 🔥
Please make a video like that Ricky! Get some one who’s never skated and coach them! This would be a banger video and help you do things since you are injured
Ricky eluded to the shop vibe which has to be a barrier for some. I worked at a skate shop a thousand years ago (ancient times, like literally Bones Brigade era), and remember the nervous looks of people walking in to face ‘the shop guys’. But also could see the excitement as they stared at the wall of boards, knowing endless hours were spent in the back pages of Thrasher or Trans World deciding what to buy. Cool channel. Glad I stumbled across. Totally worth a sub.
I'm a beginner and this video really put into perspective how some people can learn fast and how others need time to work on skateboarding. This will hopefully help me understand that I can't be as good as experienced skaters right away.
There's a reason these people feel obligated to document their learning process instead of becoming fully invested tho. Ricky you are a phenomenal coach it would be cool to see a tutor video.
plz plz plz coach someone from no experience to an ollie or kickflip that would be amazing! could be a series too if you wanted to make it a weekly thing
I stopped skating when i was like 13 (moved over to aggressive inlines) but bought a skateboard again at 35 and I love it. Also sooo happy i did skate a bit as a kid. Helps me a lot in general life and to have some of that skater balance.
Def get a non skater video going! I haven’t been on a board more that rolling in 5 years and went to the park for my brother’s birthday and was like… I know how to do this stuff… but my body didn’t.
As a new skater at 28 I relate a lot to this, though I lean more towards just cruising and hill bombing as a way of being active. I do have a setup for tricks, which I try in the backyard and can kind of tic tac, but a big worry is hurting my wrists because I work with my hands and kind of need them, so that is a big hindrance unfortunately. But I am determined, I'll just very slowly build up to doing more tricks 😅
@@JustinThomasSkateboarding Yeah, I do skate any day that it isn't raining, but I think the problem is I go cruising and my cruising board is different to the trick board. So I've been thinking of just slapping some cruising wheels on my skateboard to get better used to riding that particular board 🤔 But yeah, I do have and wear all the protective gear, but thanks for the suggestions! Definitely will be keeping at it 😃
I agree with others...get wrist guards. Cheap and they work. I'm over 50. If I break something NOW it might be really bad...I've always worn a helmet and wrist guards and....no one cares. People won't stare...or make fun. It isn't 6th grade. Protect yourself and your confidence will improve too
Loving these videos, Ricky. If you're serious about that comment at the end where you say you'd like to train a beginner from the start, I'd love to offer myself up for that! Over the past few months I've gotten really into skateboarding, but due to the lack of fascilities and appropriate spaces in my town I've not felt able to progress. I'd love to have you as a coach!
I’ve had a blast skateboarding. I ride longboards and am already comfortable on a board. I got my first “Ollie” today. It was like 1 inch off the ground but I was so proud and I’m enjoying this. Been skating for like a week now.
I remember when I started skating I read somewhere that it should take 2 days to get comfortable with cruising on your skateboard. It's been two weeks and I'm still a little wobbly when riding. Watching these people also struggle has helped me stay motivated!
starting a 45yrs old i can confidently say, tictacs and pushing/riding i could easily do the first time I stepped on, but learning to ollie has beat me up twice to the point were i was hurting for over a month, (landed with toes on and heel off straining my accillies) now its like im flinching everytime i go to pop.
Awesome when people learn something new! My first skateboard was a Veriflex Voodoo ll I was like 7 in the mid 80s. I still love skating❤ Proud of people who learn a little or a lot later in life and put I'm the work and practice. Skateboarding like all other sports is constant practice practice practice and coaching is so worth it!
I was having a sesh on a hill and i let out at 2 meter stand up slide, a kid with a sector 9 twin tip with no grip tape was just chilling in the shade, he was so amazed that you could do that on a board he asked me if i was scared and i patted my head with a helmet on and i told him with this helmet you'll never be scared. He asked me why dont you have elbow pads and i told him your knees and elbows can heal but your head is more important. i feel like i imparted some valuable advice to that kid.
Good video. wanting to skate again after 45 years not skating. I recently watched the one from Call Me Kevin and he had a fun attitude about it. The last one though- wow, good attitude and perseverance.
I just got a skateboard a couple days ago and I’m doing better staring off than I thought I would be doing and I’ve already done a ollie I need to go to a skatepark to have somebody who knows what their doing help me. your vids are awesome
Hey Rikki I hope your recovery is going well - after my surgery and recovery I'm doing a road trip through Cali and I hope we can meet up and skate if it can work out.
lol this videos really made me happy I can just skate the park without doing any tricks and without even dropping in I still feel as I have progressed a lot in the past 10 years since I got my sk8 and decided I will totally learn all the tricks :)
I feel like skating around my friend’s neighborhood actually made me feel more confident with riding my board. I just landed my first kickflip a couple days ago I’ve been skating for a couple months now almost a year since I started on November. It wasn’t really my first kickflip since I’ve landed a couple before one I almost fell the other one I landed but got off the board too fast and the last one I landed and almost got off but I stayed on it
yeah man do a video on how good you can get a newbie in 30 days would set the scene for new skaters for sure.... may help people realize that after 30 days you really cant do that much... but you can still get tones of enjoyment out of it !!!! great video... oh and the last girl will end up a skater i think....
I stopped skating for about 10 years and am now getting back into it. The thing with the falling, is that you have to (re)develop a correct reaction speed. You don't typically gonaround tipping over, so you're not really used to responding as fast, even if you know how you should respond. ...yeah, I've been trying to drop in before I should...
The best way to describe it to people who have never been on a skateboard... just say it's like standing on a floor that moves, but you're in control of the floor... and I tell people to find their central balance and work off that
Starting to skate again after 30 years! My fiancé's youngest want to learn to skate so these videos are helping us both. But man I wish I knew a more seasoned skater to help us out.
it was probably 1990 when i was 9 years old when i saw gleaming the cube on VHS that i begged my mum to buy me one , and i picked it up in a day, just by falling a lot, i could cruise , go down small slopes , tic- tacs kick turn 180s OH and a backside bert slide ! but i gave up at the Ollie , couldnt figure it out ...til i was 33, im still skating at 42.
Dude I’m 44 and wish u would teach me. I’m in good shape and healthy. I’ve always wanted to skateboard but just been scared. My boys want to learn and damn it I do too. This is my year
Longboarders: You need to learn how to ride it first. Skater n00b: Thanks, longboarders! What should I do after that? Longboarders: What do you mean? Skater: What should I do after learning to ride? Longboarders: ...Does not compute.
@Ricky Glaser can I be your protege? I’m in my early thirties and one day I decided I’m going to ride a skateboard. Just had my first skate sesh and it was a blast. I practiced balancing, riding, zig zags, turning and trying to get comfortable in goofy (I’m regular), and popped a few ollies. I’ve been watching your vids as well as brailles to try and soak up as much info as I can, as I feel like I am decades behind. I am in so cal if you’re looking to spread your knowledge, guidance, and positivity my way. Love your videos, you’re so kind and inspirational! Thank you for being you!
39 year old beginner, the last way I crashed was snagging my foot while pushing and getting dragged into a splits. My hips still hate me. I’m fine hitting the ground normally, but that one caught me off guard.
I'm 40.... Just bought myself a skateboard last night from Braille Skateboarding as my 8 year old got a skateboard for christmas so we'll learn together! Well last time I was on one was 30 years ago.... I can snowboard, so I hope some of the skills are transferable.
I just made a video where I go skateboarding for the first time as well. Curious to see your thoughts. Hope you make another one of these. Keep up the great content!
Woah thank you all my friends were being mean because I learnt how to drop in in 1 week but this just told me I was improving faster than most other people thank you I will update progress every week on reply’s
When I first started skating as a kid I was also learning to breakdancing. I felt like breakdancing was helpful in learning how to fall without injuring yourself just like parkour.
I am a 40 year old woman who is wanting to learn and vids like Kevin’s and the last one I find inspiring. I just wanna learn to ride my board and not fall and die. Hashtaggoals
It's crazy how hard it is to actively ride around on a plank of wood with wheels 😅 you never really remember not being able to just stand and move around on a board you forget how difficult it's truly is untill you try to teach someone who's never even stood on a skateboard before, they tend to stand on it still and it shoots out from under them which I guess just shows how much fine motor skill is used just to stand on it haha
I think with many skills, people see others do it effortlessly then they think it's easy. Not just with skateboarding. As a sidenote, I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna start with skateboarding at all, as it looks scary and the skate park is like at the other end of town. And the best I can do is ask my friends if they know anyone who knows how to skate and can help me learn it. And I feel like I won't be able to learn it all alone from the internet. I'm 25 and never did skateboarding, but the thought of me rolling around town lives rent free in my head so much that it would be a massive improvement from just walking to everywhere.
callmekevin is one of my favorite creators he is mainly gaming and comedy but he gives 100% and i agree wee gotta get kevin to see this so he will do a part 2
Kevin lives in Spain and I'm not sure he is confident enough in his Spanish to ask for help from locals. It would be hilarious to watch him try though.
I really love the last video because I started skateboarding around 2 years ago so in like 2021 and I didn't have anyone to teach me how to ride the board or balance I didn't even look up tutorials so yeah I just really love the last video
I started skating yesterday and was a little overconfident because I skated a little when I was younger and yeah I absolutely slammed like 20 times and on the last one I rolled the s#$7 out of my ankle so I gotta wait a day or two but I'm loving it
it's so scary watching new skaters riding around on such loose trucks lol. first thing they should learn is what tightening and loosening your trucks actually does so they feel more confident on the board.
Im 13. Im thinking of asking for a skateboard for christmas cause i wanna try to learn, though i have no experience other than trying to skate 3years ago but i barely did anything and my skateboard was way too small, I didnt know at that time. I have been recently practicing falling on my bed just to prepare myself for the falls ill definitely get. I think id mostly use my skateboard for cruising not much on tricks since id most likely just use the board to get to places, not too far though cause i know one small pebble and id be flying off. Ill still try to learn tricks though cause i think they’d be cool and fun to learn. :)
www.twitch.tv/rickyglaser
I've been having lots of fun livestreaming IRL skateboarding on Twitch follow along to catch me live :)
I hope Kevin sees this and tries again. a small amount of coaching could improve him 200%
At the end he said he wasn't that into learning tricks but bought a longboard and was cruising
At the end of his video, he decided to Longboard. He enjoyed riding more. Maybe one day he will try tricks again, but still rad he stuck with pushing around Spain.
@@rickyglaser oh yeah I watched that when it came out so I forgot. I love Kevin's vids he has such a good attitude even when things don't go his way.
Call me Kevin needs an electric skateboard
I love Kevin romantically

Pads and helmet help your confidence too, helps you be able to fully send it 😎
im 42 also my secret are tortoise pad hip pads , i crashed so much learning drop ins and rock fakies , and yes all the protective gear you mentioned
I've learned how to pop shove it in my home and I feel like I'm not going to progress anymore, unless somebody teaches me.
The problem is: I'm scared of public places, I feel like everybody is judging me 24/7
@@rtsvd so far I've met nothing but encouraging people at the skatepark.
@v find times during the day when nobody's at the park. I find anytime before 10 a.m. on the weekend is usually empty
I hope non skaters will see this and understand how much work and time we put into our craft
as a skater i try to tell beginners that we are not gonna judge you we have all been there
I hope that Irish dude keeps going, he really did well within a week. I always forget how hard just riding a skateboard is in the beginning.

Video series idea. each member of the braille team mentors some one for 30 days and we get a skate video montage.
Kevin lives in Spain and I'm not sure he is confident enough in his Spanish to ask for help from locals. It would be hilarious to watch him try though.
haha i didnt know that, thanks makes sense
"It's not that hard to get an empty parking lot" Then we defend that lot at all cost!
I really love the last video because I started skateboarding around 2 years ago so in like 2021 and I didn't have anyone to teach me how to ride the board or balance I didn't even look up tutorials so yeah I just really love the last video
I started skating yesterday and was a little overconfident because I skated a little when I was younger and yeah I absolutely slammed like 20 times and on the last one I rolled the s#$7 out of my ankle so I gotta wait a day or two but I'm loving it
It would be cool to see the braille house invite some of these people out for some lessons
I will fly from Michigan to Cali to learn how to skate from you
it's so scary watching new skaters riding around on such loose trucks lol. first thing they should learn is what tightening and loosening your trucks actually does so they feel more confident on the board.
for real!
Im 13. Im thinking of asking for a skateboard for christmas cause i wanna try to learn, though i have no experience other than trying to skate 3years ago but i barely did anything and my skateboard was way too small, I didnt know at that time. I have been recently practicing falling on my bed just to prepare myself for the falls ill definitely get. I think id mostly use my skateboard for cruising not much on tricks since id most likely just use the board to get to places, not too far though cause i know one small pebble and id be flying off. Ill still try to learn tricks though cause i think they’d be cool and fun to learn. :)
