10 Things Every Beginner Should Know How To Do Well

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.

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. ;)

[@smellymeadowhel8763]

whmozart whether or not u can u more complicated tricks defines that dude

[@a_youtuberk.4227]

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. buzzfeedblue made a video titled "Non-Skaters Vs. Pro Skaters" where one person claimed he was better at 1-footed manuals than normal manuals.

[@rmendoza265]

Daniel Lee kickflips and powerslides is beginner shit bro Intermediate is more complicated than that

[@tommygolbranson6623]

whmozart beginners can do the basics like Ollie, shuv, front shuv, Kickflip, heelflip, fs/bs 180s and other simple tricks like those. Intermediate skaters can do these moving, in variations, and use them with a purpose(for example down a stair set or into a grind). And you know an advanced skater when you see one 😂. That’s my interpretation at least.

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.

I have learnt to skate using VL Skate. From never skating before to now I can Ollie and casually skate down the street. Thank you VL Skate! Keep the vids coming!!

[@nedlindsay1530]

Hey man I only just picked up skateboarding as a new hobby, some people are goofy and others are regular. I have a bit of a problem where I can only push with my right leg (making me regular) but when I stop pushing and just cruise I feel so uneasy with my back facing the left side and usually always lose balance, any advice ?

[@venus16]

x Kehu you could either push mongo (which I don't recommend) or you can learn how to push with your other foot

[@sillykops6697]

x Kehu I have a problem like that but I ride freestyle goofy, but when I do my tricks, I like it regular. should I switch my freestyle ride leg or my trick leg

[@chris-vf4kj]

Skating is easier said than done..lol😂

[@miky4831]

i love all the camera work and explanations it's so easy to understand thanks to it! thank you so much!

[@michellecassidy6727]

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!

[@zoned]

what about falling?

[@PikaChan77v2]

Kido i think what he meant was that its kinda essential too to learn how to properly fall so you dont hurt yourself

[@VLSkate]

i actually originally had falling in this video but i decided to leave it out for it's own video

[@jonathanhawley6919]

VLSkate you should do a board setup

[@baswijkstra13]

I was expecting it lol

[@kasia4311]

Ordered myself a skateboard yesterday bc I always wanted to skate but never had enough time to learn but since the whole country's on lockdown (and we can go out to excercise) I figured this is the best time to learn. Wish me luck..

[@ajkulac9895]

We need an update

[@atikah5555]

Im just wondering how I can do all this when I dont have a big empty space to ride

[@thedumbartist]

Try your local churches! I have one right next to my house, and after a bit of convincing they let me use their parking lot, I just couldn’t use the handrails. :)

[@quontonnoodles]

Bring your board whenever you go out of your house. I ride parking lots, near malls, anywhere smooth enough.

[@alanaflynn8878]

For personal reference: Kickturn 5:05 (Details at 5:32) Might add times for the other 9 concepts.

[@ryderlead]

Alana you’ve led us on to a cliff hanger, man! when are you gonna add the other times? /s

[@Elvira_Berzina]

I'm an old man and probably die "😂❤️ this video made me walk in to a bush ! Great info 👏👏👏

[@twiggimmapiggus6695]

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!

[@echsen-tvhift6314]

i ordered a skateboard on amazon cause i was boarding on my longboard since 2018 and i love your vids they are so helpful and i definetly still gonna watch them for practicing with my new board

[@twistedclips]

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.

[@incognito602]

TwisteDreamer Would have been nice to know yesterday when I unfortunately figured that out the hard way haha

[@alexwang8261]

this video is so useful , it is just the thing I am doing recently .

[@indaeyo1773]

My hobby is ice skating, but I’m looking for a more summer friendly hobby so I was like “let’s look into skateboarding” and here I am... convinced I cannot ever do these things.. if my feet aren’t tied in I’d feel so insecure, but I’ll watch a bunch of tutorials before I’ll try. This video was really nice and smooth and the first one recommended so I’ll listen to everything here!

[@agwwbbl]

when you said "fall a few times" i felt better. because last time i fell from my board, i was embarassed bc i was with my younger cousins. so thank you for that. this video and your words helps me so much!!

[@lilbopeep7722]

Thanks VLskate you are the best. I’ve gotten so much better from your vids.

[@chenoadrawz7457]

Its 2019 and I just got a skateboard for Christmas! This video is helping me understand!

Super useful to a guy that just hopped on a board yesterday and got hooked without knowing anything

[@thejudochop]

great video man. I'm just getting back into skateboarding after about 20 years because now I have kids that wanna go to skate parks all of the time. I wish they had youtube in the 90s when I was first learning. thanks dude.

[@lana6430]

I just ordered my board and I can't wait! This video really helped me and I feel like I'm ready to skate, thank you!

[@user-iz7rf3if8g]

How u doing?

[@dalime605]

I'm here because I just lost my car and sick of not being able to go anywhere. Plus there's a really awesome skate park near my house that I havent skated in 6 years. Next paycheck, going to see if I still have what it takes.

[@madmix64]

getting my first board tomorrow, I can't wait to start learning. this video gives me a good place to start. thanks man

That fake fall tho. 🤣😂

[@DieRod]

Thanks bro! You made a way better understanding for me! I’ve been skating Mongo for the longest and I’m going to make the switch!

[@TipsyFGC]

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.

[@Ollowayn]

Im 25 but I feel so old for starting. Still looking forward to it. Thanks for the great advice!
