  • 10 Things Every Beginner Skateboarder Should Know How To Do Well (longest title yet, ha)
    This one is aimed towards helping out beginners learn to be more comfortable on the board while trying to teach some practical things at the same time. These are all simple concepts, but they are important to being comfortable on your board. Hopefully, if you can get all of these down really well, it will help you in the future when you're trying to learn new things.
    Having a strong foundation of board control and confidence is what leads to progression and continuing having fun.
    Thank you for watching! :)

    Falling properly is something that a skater should definitely know how to do. I would have included it in this video but I already had 10 things so I'll make a separate video about that. ;)

    “Gotta crawl before you walk, walk before you run, and fall before you crawl.” These are the tings that if not learned well will cause newbies to quit. Reading, puzzles, playing an instrument, and SKATeBORDING everyday keeps you young in mind and body. I've been skating since the summer of 1974. I was 10. This is a great tutorial and well filmed etc. Thanks for making a difference for both skaters and non-skaters alike.

      It really depends. Intermediate longboarders might do long powerslides or pump on flatground. Some intermediate skaters can heelflip and pressure flip, but can't kickflip. I'm sure some beginners have high ollies but not many other skills.

That’s my interpretation at least.

What uncomfortable shirt is saying is that if you are an "advanced skater", you don't need a list telling you what you should know and that you would have already learned all that stuff on your own from experience. There comes a point when videos can't teach you any more so you have to learn and progress on your own by actually getting out and putting in the time and skating. If you are watching a video about what you should know if you are advanced, then you are not an advanced skater, it's that simple.

    Nice video. thank you. Well, I am a 47 year old ex-skateboarder who has recently retired from sportbike riding and settled into skating again for another type of adrenaline rush. The following comments are coming from a more mature viewpoint obviously and take them for what it's worth. I wish I had followed these a bit more as youngster. 1) Learn to fall. You will fall. Learning to fall correctly will not only save you from injury but it will also give you the confidence to improve as you aren't so scared of things. 2) Learn to ride your board before you try tricking. I know it seems SO boring to just work on the basics, but if you can master them before starting to trick you will progress in your tricking exponentially and probably avoid injuries as well. 3) Learn to ride switch as competently as your normal stance (probably not possible as your strong side will ALWAYS feel a bit more natural.) The beginners will have an easier time with this. The more engrained riding your normal stance, the harder this is. Yeah, you won't look as cool riding switch at least for a while, but the benefits are huge. One reason I really like it because it extends my riding sessions. Whenever I get tired riding one way, I just flip around. Trust me, you should get comfortable going both ways in any sport you choose where one side of your body can become dominant (skating, golf, etc.). When you ignore one side of your body it cause all sorts of imbalances, possible injury & other bad things. 4) Wear protective gear. If you get the right gear (I like triple 8), it doesn't look too bad and when you fall it will save your bacon. Have fun and be courteous. Another thing I have found picking up skating some 30 years since I last participated in the sport, is people still hate skaters. Be courteous out these please.

    OK Guys something was missed in *Pushing*( just a tip ) , for those that push really quickly and want to get a lot of speed straight away, BE CAREFUL cause if you push to much and your weight isn't on the board properly, the board will shoot left or right depending on the way you skate and trip you up before you even started and NOBODY likes eating concrete, i sure as hell don't. ( i found this out but braking a board cause it shot under a car.) so i hope this helped. #VLSkate.

If I can learn those before the end of 2020, I’ll feel pretty good 😇

      If someone does this to me I would think that he has some sort of mental illness or something.

    probably the most helpful video i've seen so far; literally every problem i've had while just getting comfortable riding was answered. those cracks have gotten the best of me many-a-time, thanks for the tips!

    Watched this before skateboard came in the mail. I got on my board and didn’t realize I had no comfort just pushing and riding. Always was worried about tricks as a kid. Feel like I’ll improve so much more because of this videos.

    I can't begin to thank you for the content you make for beginner skateboarders like myself. The knowledge and empathy you provide to beginners helps me feel not so lame starting this venture at 30. Thank you!

    yeah. I'm getting good at kickturns. if I perfect those I could do front side and backside pivots which can be my first trick.
