5 Mistakes Beginner Skaters Make

[@merf9730]

My coach always said, "Amateurs practice till they get it right and professionals practice till they can't get it wrong."

[@kaifiak]

merf 97 Lol mine said exactly that and gave us 10 more laps before shooting and if the shooting wasnt good 10 more faster laps

[@krankykola6822]

merf 97 man you just made my life 10 times more positive

[@dxmanforlife]

merf 97 thanks dude. Been burnt out for 3 months. I want to get back on learning tricks. This has made me learn to take it slow and remember why I started.

[@grizzlygorilla5864]

That’s what my percussion teacher in band says

[@ronjones9061]

merf 97 this is bullshit I haven't skated in 9 years and can get on a board and still hit every trick

[@flowmotion_2]

Yea, a lot of people don’t skateboard cause they’re scared to fail and risk getting hurt/embarrassment. That’s definitely life

[@DistinctiveDjungelskog]

Dude all I want is to skate down my driveway without breaking every single bone in my body.

[@1uvveve]

[@sorodeo4586]

Get bigger wheels and hop off your board if u lose balance

[@liamnora4709]

Petes Hole not a Good Idea, you’ll fall forward and faceplant

[@sorodeo4586]

If this kid cant skate down his driveway how tf is he gunna power slide or even use his heel or tail like fr think about the situation. Just thinking about how i learned

[@sorodeo4586]

And if he has a normal driveway he aint getting enough speed to make hopping off dangerous

No. 1 sounds like what Bruce Lee once said: "I fear not the man who practices 10,000 kicks at once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times".

[@philfaceplant4141]

[@Synathidy]

36 is not old. Embrace your youth.

[@roughrdr]

Age is a state of mind. Old man here as well. Been skating since the mid/late 80s. My problem is I skated half pipes and pools for the longest time, so when I eventually went to earn street tricks, I was like damn this is hard. Still can't do more than a few basic flips but still work on them when when I get the urge.

Hey, keep going! I'm a beginner too and just getting consistent with my ollies. I keep rotating backwards and i've fallen off the board so many times at this point. But the automn has come and there's less and less time to skate for me because of constant raining and temperature going down every week. But I go out and skate whenever I get a chance. Just keep going, baby stepping even! And have fun while doing it! Because that's what matters!

[@streetflowskateboarding8367]

just keep going im a beginner too and its taken me 5 months soo far to land a kick flip and i havn't given up.

[@whmozart]

Hey I've been at it for a year and I'm 40. up until now I pretty much only practiced my basic tricks stand still. Started hitting the pavement recently (pretty much in the literal sense) and falling all the time. I do it for the fun though, and the key to that is to be alright if it doesn't work out. It's alright not to skate when you don't feel like it. As long as you want it you'll get it. Don't make it a competition. In skateboarding you don't have to.

[@JedKurtzer]

Yellow Gamer Hey man I was the same. I've been skating for around 4 years but I was really casual about it and progressed really slow. The last couple months I got completely bummed out by skating and thought of quiting. But you can't. You can't give up. Like VL said, take a break when you need it, but don't give up. Even if you only skate once or twice a month, as long as you enjoy that time, then you're enjoying skateboarding.

[@whmozart]

Yeah Jed I agree. There are few things I enjoy doing in life (besides skating) I like playing music and painting, but as soon as the things you love become a responsibility or you're being pressured into doing it, no matter how much you love it you will hate it in the end after a surprisingly short amount of time. It's the same for skating. If you force yourself and make it feel like a job you will hate it. This is all my own personal experience/opinion though, but I found if I skate only when I feel like it then I do much better than when I said I HAVE TO PRACTICE. And those callings come much more often if you let them happen organically too. Bottom line is: Skate for yourself and no one else. Also, the skateboarding community is the most understanding and respectful community of that philosophy than any other field. props to you guys that shred it, never made me feel bad about being old and a beginner, never.

[@scottryan5781]

Thanks for this video man! I started last year at 49 years old. I'm 50 and still at it. This was great because it's not that I am getting discouraged but I need to push myself a little harder and commit to learning to ollie. I can ollie a little holding onto a railing(gotta start somewhere)but need to start going for it! Your vids on that subject are great too. Thanks again and keep 'em coming!

[@badgrafikk]

Just read this in 2022 and it would be really interesting if youre still skating, i started out like 2 days ago and i fell and it felt like i broke my ass and my whole soul but i kept going a little and then i was a little discouraged to go out earlier this evening but i took my board and did it anyways, found a little spot too which was really nice!

I couldn't agree more. Best advice ever! I've been doing all these mistakes for a year: landing a few ollies, then tried thousands of kickflips never landing a single one. I've done this for hours and hours, going crazy, losing my motivation. In the end it was more like "work" rather than "pleasure". I would just add one thing: don't stay in the same skating spot, especially when you can't land something, otherwise you'll start hating this spot.

I've just started skating last week and it's really interesting to see how similar the learnimg mindsets for skating and fighting games are.

The whole try learning new tricks tip helps a lot for me. I end up screwing around a lot with switch and nollie tricks. I still cant kickflip regular, but I just learned nollie hardflip, so hey there's that

This inspired me a lot because am a begginer I sometimes feel like giving up then I see videos and they are way better than me but you said what you should be doing is getting inspired

Thanks VLSkate,I'm a beginnerI it's already three months since I started skating.I already know how to ollie,nollie shove it,and to hand flip,But I always get frustrated when it comes on learning some tricks for example how to 180 and to kickflip,which really tires me up and almost gave up on skateboarding. And there is this attitude of mine like for example I try a new trick but with less effort and less sweat but make sure I should learn this only for a day,and then a day passes and I still couldn't land it correctly after that I GIVE UP.But there is always this saying on my head that says "GREAT SACRIFICE COMES GREAT VICTORY". Your advice on your video just motivated me and it just made me more confident.Tommorow I promise to myself that I will be more confident and with less hurryon some tricks,I'll start again with the basics which is how to ollie.
