Glad you're finally making new videos again! I needed this video like 3 months ago when I was stuck learning ollies because my shoulders weren't square haha. I don't have any in-person skater friends so it took a lot of back-and-forth chat with another skater on Discord to figure out what the problem was. Not enough tutorials talk about keeping the shoulders parallel to the board!

This really hit…

[@STERN257]

Thank you! This video is just what I needed. Been stuck at very low ollies for a couple of months, and this simple trick to bend down more seems to help!

[@Schwaaaang]

Not enough speed!! This is so important. Something that helped me immeasurably is filming myself- for myself, not like cinematically- and watching it back to see if I'm making basic mistakes. Instantly can see things to improve.

Its nice to see videos like this as a beginner, they really help. Thanks for making these videos man :)

[@partial7707]

I just landed my first kick flip after watching this video! You are a life saver and a trick saver!!

[@steezydeeznuts]

Great video for beginners, I’m pretty experienced but I’ve got a few friends who are interested in skating after watching me do boardslides and kickflips and stuff, I’m nowhere near as good a teacher as you so I’ll definitely recommend this video to them and as a long time viewer your channel as well!

[@amandavorpahl8197]

So much good advice!!

[@ericduminil]

Excellent video. Thanks!

[@MikeSenese]

Great video. Love seeing that helmet in action. It actually looks pretty rad. You wear it well!

[@sarahray79]

Best information in an adequate amount of time. 🔥

[@middle-agedclimber]

What an excellent video, great tips.

[@marissao4254]

Thank you for the videos!! I've gotten back into skateboarding after some years and have been trying to grow confidence. I recognize all the parks you skate at!! I live in the Leander area. We should catch up at a park some time!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@d34thxvii48]

Damn that park with the snake run looked sick. I wish we had more flow and transition like parks where I'm at

[@juanvanniekerk3991]

Thank you so much for the videos man. I'm 31 years old and going to pick up a board for the first time in 16 years. I wasn't really good because I didn't believe in myself and the "crew" I hung out with, were quick to laugh at me and judge me instead of helping me. Your videos are definitely giving me the self-confidence I need to improve myself. Thank you 🙌🙌🛹🛹

[@hannahmayo6582]

Congrats on putting yourself out there and I hope you’ve found a better crew!!

not really a beginner anymore just scrolling through your videos. Had no idea that you’re from austin! Love seeing all the parks that I skate all the time. First time skating was at Wells Branch Skate Park!

[@sinadisparte3577]

Great channel

[@AP-wu1rv]

I’m still trying to do an Ollie I have only had practiced for 2 days and I’m getting a bit better tighten the trucks a bit definitely gave me more confidence on the board

[@armygarcia4life]

I really struggle with switching from peddling to riding, it feels like my shoe has too much grip, is that such a thing?

[@Elder74]

No bud i've been skating on and off for years just with large breaks in between.. i have the exact same thing.. it'll improve in time. Small steps and time and commmitment will make you improv alot. ❤

[@user-hh1ys9hb9o]

To fix it you just gotta ride your skateboard more spent time just cruising around it’ll get easier

[@armygarcia4life]

@@Elder74 thanks man! I appreciate the encouragement

[@armygarcia4life]

@@user-hh1ys9hb9o thanks man! I appreciate the reply

[@pabopablo]

What helped me not do that is to not put alot of weight on your foot that is pushing. Think about it as skimming your foot along the ground, but make sure that's on the ground

[@amrani_art]

You had me at "Be at the skatepark, when the sun comes up" 😭😂. We don't have sun in Holland, only rain and wind 😭😭

[@jon5122]

I was watching a vid on how to pump and I saw u were at the exact spot I was skating today. And I think I saw you skating at the park today

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

It wasn't me today, I didn't skate today, but if you ever DO see me out there I'd love it if you said hello

[@tyman7156]

good video

[@onissarodriguez7229]

I Definitely make that mistake I am so terrified to fall I get paralyzed with fear to even ride but these videos help

[@chewychicken5164]

[@pabopablo]

Pretend like your trying to do a double kickflip and it will flick all the way

[@shaifulrizal8691]

I've picked up back after 20 yrs back ...I am in my 40s,and even struggling balancing,also the goofy and regular stances....not to mention ollie....😢😭

[@viviondioline]

I learned how to ollie on an 8 dollar walmart board 20 years ago

[@biggiethecat4896]

I'm 36 but I can't stop thinking about starting to skate. Not sure if I'm too old though

[@pabopablo]

Your definitely not too old. Just get a helmet and maybe some pads, and ur set🔥

[@MoonnyGirl]

I started at 31 and I know some guys who started at their 40s and 50s so just go be happy skating
