I got my first skateboard about 30 days ago, a present to myself for turning 45, and started teaching myself to ride it. I found your channel a few days later via instagram. Your videos have helped me to make it through this first month of getting my balance back and learning to ride at all. It's so easy to get discouraged by expecting too much of yourself, by absorbing the gatekeeping ideas some skaters have, by internalized ableism that makes you want to quit rather than adapt the sport to your needs. Your small-pieces approach to learning and progressing, and the way you bring it to every video you make, has grounded me and given me a list of things to look forward to. When I told my mom I was learning to skateboard, and described how your approach helps me to fight anxiety and frustration, she told me about the two quarters of intro figure skating she took in college, and how even though her progress was slow she loved practicing figures and movements. She'd never told me about that before! I've showed her your channel. I'm so glad you're making these videos, and I'm sure many more people are benefiting than just those of us who comment. Thanks so much.

[@SarahParkMatott]

First of all, welcome to skateboarding! Second of all, I really get where you're coming from. Skateboarding is the strangest of hobbies as it can actually become very unenjoyable very quickly. So, I'm so glad that you've been enjoying it and resonated with the kind of skate philosophy, breakdowns videos that I've made on this channel. (Super yes to adapting the sport to your needs and ability 💯!) Also, your mom is so cool. I bet figure skating is also really difficult! Really cool you could relate with her on this too. Stoked for you! And excited for your skate journey 🙌

[@bubbleflip]

Hey Sarah! I've followed your Instagram for a while but have never seen your KZbin channel before. This video is amazing and really gives me a lot of ideas. I love that you showed all the basic tricks you mentioned but also showed a lot of more advanced variations with them too.

[@SarahParkMatott]

Ay! Bubbleflip. Yeah, really...I think we've followed each other almost from the beginning of my skate journey at least. Glad you liked the video 😃 I figured since most non-ollie trick videos only focused on "easier" tricks, it'd be cool to kind of show the spectrum. That you can do cool, hard tricks without ollies as well. 🙌

[@chris_d]

Wow a few new ones here I definitely didn't exist, this was a great watch. You got some nice style, I like the different flair you put on the tricks 🤘

[@SarahParkMatott]

Thanks! 😃 I’m stoked you enjoyed the videos and tricks!

[@paulsamuels5637]

I’m definitely following your methods. I doubt Kyro could do that many tricks in such a short period of time. My daughter and I are quite impressed. Curious how much time a day you’ve put into this.

[@SarahParkMatott]

haha thank you! 😃 I hope the methods help you with your progress 💪 I actually put a ton of time in in the beginning. During the first 6 months, I was probably skating 6 days a week for almost an hour (which is a lot more doable when focusing on freestyle since there is a lot less impact). But, it was definitely way too much. For the next 6 months, I probably skated 3 to 5 times a week depending on my schedule and how much recovery I needed. I value recovery a lot more now, so I'm taking my sessions one by one 💪

[@arepas]

good times. thanks, Sarah! hadn't skated in over 20 years and got back to it using some of these so i could beat all my friend's kids in s.k.a.t.e #appreciated

Love the tricks. Will try to learn them all. Btw.. can I have tips on how to land a shove it?... I have been practicing it but.... i cant seem to land on both feet.. only my front foot lands on the board... appreciate it. Thanks!

[@SarahParkMatott]

Sure, have you seen my tutorial for shove its? I do have some tips in there about the back foot. Often the problem is in jumping. I just answered this question too, so I'll paste the answer here as well :) ou won't have to jump high forever, but it certainly helps in the beginning!

[@SarahParkMatott]

@@codewolf2834 Well, that's nothing that practice and sometimes just jumping can't fix. I did a ton of knee tuck jumps to get better and bringing my knees up for different tricks. You'll get there. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel :D Good luck with your shove it!

[@zamiapalm1]

Hey Sarah love your break downs. I dont understand how you enter the footplant for a footplant caveman. I cnat work out it you are jumping into a quick tail stall then jumping off or if its a whole different technique. I can roll on my longboard and push off the tail to catch the front end of the board while i run but on a short board it feels really sketch to me. Any tips? Many thanks Bec, Western Australia

[@SarahParkMatott]

Hi Bec! Thank you. I'm really glad to hear that. If it's the trick I am thinking of, I actually have a tutorial for it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJXJoJRqZqaleqc If not, let me know. I'm happy to try and help!

hey so i'm pretty sure number 8 is called a Soccer Flip; love the video! :)

[@EpicBeastism]

hey, any tips on pop shuvs and how to kickturn on a ramp? i can kickturn on flat but i dont think im comfy enough bending my knees to do so on a ramp, my weight is always thrown forward and i stall or end up bailing, it looks so easy but yet i cant get it 😩 love to hear any tips u have

[@SarahParkMatott]

I do. I have a pop shove it tutorial ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6CmlJ2HiN6ImaM ) and a kick turning on a ramp tutorial ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZjafXefedpgeNU ). Check those out and if you have more questions, feel free to comment 😊

[@EpicBeastism]

@@SarahParkMatott wow you have it all!! lol so glad i found your channel. i do have one question after watching your kick turn video. this sounds silly but, when im pushing i usually have my foot a bit behind the bolts (like ollie foot positioning). if im skating and go up a bank and turn, how can i shift my foot a bit more, as i feel like my foot stance might throw me off as im not as squared as you are in the tutorial (yours are on the front bolts). am i overthinking it ? or does this really impact kickturns

[@SarahParkMatott]

@@EpicBeastism Your foot positioning could definitely affect the kick turn based on how comfortable you feel. Typically, the wider (more over the bolts) and squarer your stance is, the more balance you have. So, if you're doing a kick turn with your feet too close together or too angled it might be uncomfortable or hard to turn. It's definitely worth trying to just push up to the ramp with your front foot already over the bolts or closer to the bolts. Or you can wiggle/inch your front foot forward before you get to the bottom of the ramp/bank while riding. But I wouldn't adjust that foot while on the ramp/bank! I hope this helps :D

[@EpicBeastism]

[@SarahParkMatott]

oh, I thought about trying them. But every time I find some in a store, there aren't any small enough for me 😂 These running gloves have been surprisingly durable though. And actually, I added a little square of trick tape to the thumbs for finger flips. And that's been pretty good!

[@FuccTheGovt]

I love how you’re one of the few keeping them old school flat land trucks alive and relatable. I started with some of those tricks back in the mid 90s and used to think I was lame cause I couldn’t kick flip: the 90s was a rough time to skate cause it was so hated at that point. So glad the core stuff is still being used.

[@SarahParkMatott]

Ah, thank you! Sadly, that hate is still alive and well in mainstream skate culture today. But, freestyle is actually bigger than ever too. So, stoked to be a part of the community 🙌 and also share core stuff that I think could help any skater in any niche 😃
