5 Stretches EVERY Skateboarder Needs To Know!

[@Bsfeeblegrind]

Chad your channel is seriously the best resource for skaters on youtube, especially us mini ramp guys. You have a super power of reading my mind and then uploading a video about the shit I was thinking lmao

[@lindaforgione9331]

MuffGOD superchad

[@ChadCaruso]

Hahha that’s amazing! Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it!

[@oskargarden4559]

Check the daily push. Website and youtube.

[@mitch3384]

Yeah +1 for that. I'm looking at getting back into it at 37, 20 years after I dropped off. Also have ankylosing spondylitis, so that hip stretch is gonna be really important. Thanks Mike!

[@WhatisAPaladin]

4 years later and his still meh imo

[@jeffreylau2010]

1) Ankle rolls 2) Lunge - Elbows to ground and raise opposite arm 3) Shoulder taps 4) Knee hug with a forward lunge 5) Leg cradle with side lunge Everyone really should know these if they've played any other sport in school (football/basketball etc.)

[@771shadowolf]

Wish I played sports in school. I've always exercising work out but never played sport so I feel strong but uncoordinated.

[@Spaxcore]

3:20 for when the stretches start

I broke my knee, tore my acl and meniscus 7 years ago and I'm buying a new board today

[@johnanonymous3457]

Lmaoo i hit my head and had a few bad slams and recently got back into skating too 🤣🤣🤣

[@creamcheese7845]

I broke my leg and after 15 years just got back into skating. Nothing serious

[@jgrilla6084]

Same bro fractured my wrist wen i was 16 now im 19 n trying to get back onnit

[@brandonstevens1000]

@@jgrilla6084 excatly what I'm doing man I'm glad you are back at it

[@Hotwired_hearts]

I hit a stone when I was 11teen Now I’m 34 and fat .....still getting back into it

[@richards4086]

This makes such a difference in my overall performance i just got back into skating about two months ago and its been hard on my body but doing these warm ups makes the difference between feeling like im 80 on my board vs feeling the 23 i actually am

[@Keyboardwarrior226]

GREAT WARM UP!!! did these in my room and i feel warmed up .

[@josephwillis9874]

Great video, this trainer knows what he is talking about hundred percent and has a balanced way of informing. Well done

[@bobs1474]

They should teach this in high schools

[@ryanplaistek9501]

😂😂😂😂

[@SteezinIt]

🥇

[@blvzeboyMusic]

They taught me this in middle school

[@jamsterwrx4976]

Play sports and they do

[@Michael-gp1mu]

They do

[@mikerowell992]

It's pretty rare I comment on a youtube video. Thank you for showing me how to keep my old ass skating for a few more years.

[@robinsonesson7571]

Love this video! I'm relatively young, realising how important the health is and doing something to sustain and improve it the health. All this so I can continue skating and having a chance to live a better life at a senior age. Your videos and content are not 1, but 2 thumbs up 👍👍🍓

[@bricemenaugh4828]

Movement prep is crucial in skateboarding. I use it at 43 and it keeps me going. Increasing our balance, mobility, and nervous system recruitment. This helps so much especially when you fall. Priceless

[@danieladams5262]

I'm only 25 and relatively new skateboarding. The long sessions and jumps in skill level I keep trying to achieve definitely have taken their toll. Especially aches in my achilles tendons & soft tissue bruising, which have kept me off skating for weeks at a time. These stretches are exactly what I need! Great content! If anyone is reading this please wear a helmet I fell funny on flatground and am still feeling the effects 4 weeks later. I'm not even going to go to the shops without one now haha

[@DanielCADtutor]

Exactly what I needed! Thank you very much, I’ve been feeling so sore after skateboarding lately and figured I better start stretching on a regular basis so my body can keep up 👍

[@lt_alenko]

As a 28 year old skater who is only now learning, these stretches are really good. They've made a tangible difference in my sessions, and how I feel after a session (especially my pushing/popping leg).

[@jeffreysnewton]

This is great man. Thanks for thinking of us old geezers.

[@MEMPHIS9ETHER]

Omg thank you bro this changed the game for me🤙🤙

[@pdot9068]

thank you so much, i was doing stretches but i never felt the cramp sensation until doing these stretches!

[@trevwells948]

Nice one...as an older skater (53) I can vouch for this type of thing really helping...be it traditional yoga which I do weekly or this more skater specific work....great video Chad keep it up.

[@ChadCaruso]

Thanks, really appreciate that!

[@Popsamillion]

I’m 52 and I’m skating 3 or 4 times a week. Yoga has been a God-send, and a mellow round of sun salutations really helps. Thanks, Chad - you’re hitting a good balance of addressing the reality of skating when you’re older but not becoming too much of a jock.

[@Intrgalacticbean]

I’m just starting skating and this is helpful! I know I’m not doing anything crazy right away but better safe than sorry!

[@soap5547]

extremely useful information, especially with the explanation in the beginning. Gonna start implementing this into my daily routine.

[@ProgressSkateboarding]

Another solid video, Chad. I use dynamic stretching for jogging and now do it all the time when skating. Great advice.

[@Bahomar]

amazing, thanks for sharing

[@nosses10]

Thank you so much, i just went from going to the gym to buy a used board, i love it, and it's grat that you can practice it also as a sport, thanks!

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

It is great to find solid, mature, content with immediate and functional value.

[@ChristopherTheBanana]

Last fall I bruised my ankle real bad while skateboarding. Since then the movement in that ankle has been noticeably limited and stiff. The first warmup made the movement in that ankle immediately better, although still slightly limited. Gonna keep up with those, as well as some other stretches. Thanks so much!

[@idlie8446]

im 32.. and aready 10year hanging my board.. now im start again.. the muscle pain is killing me man but is worth it.. 🤙🤙🍻

[@basvanvelthoven625]

I am 32 too. I have been skateboarding a lot between my 15 and 22rd and but after this period I thought my body was to stiff to skate.. Now I discovered several KZbin videos with good exercises and it's causes a huge difference! I even feel I can learn new tricks. I wished this kind of youtube videos existed when I was younger. Stay motivated!

[@proofy8375]

definitely look into strengthening y'all's ankle and do exercises for them daily, it'll help a lot

[@jestertryna8956]

I needed this info, thanks yo

[@camelo1495]

thanks guys just did my back and needed serious help trying to keep the muscle injuries down. This really helps

[@sharki11]

Just recently found your channel and I have to say it's awesome! So down to earth and helpful! I feel like there is a bit of a culture in skateboarding of not needing to stretch and just going hard as possible so it's great to see this type of content!

[@commanderpipi1youknowfromp730]

Awesome clip, thumbs up keep going.

[@pizzah0t]

Thanks man!!! Very useful

[@PalenSkate]

this is actually a sick video! good content bro!

[@ChadCaruso]

Yo! Appreciate that!

[@TheSonicDeviant]

Cheers buddy!

[@UnchartedGamerandReviewer]

thank you guys so much for this video!

[@remeo55]

I'm 38 years old & torn my ACL twice, will try this routine over the next few session! Thanks

[@GiulianoEnrique]

Love the channel man!!

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

That's a good hip one,I need a new hip,so ill definitely give that ones sometime,THANKS

[@gaellemasson3176]

Great topic, thx for sharing this precious knowledge

[@bikenraider99]

Hitting that like button as I sit here rehabbing an ankle sprain. Appreciate it guys!

[@frankiesunswept]

Amazing channel homie thanks so much :)

[@Chris_Traynor]

More skaters need to know this even if they don't feel like they need it yet. I skated for 15 years and was pretty good but I just threw myself at stuff and got a lot of injuries. It's the reason I can't skate anymore without the injuries outweighing my enjoyment. Anyway I'm 34 and went to the skatepark for old times sake after having spent time doing training PROGRESSIONS for various sports like gymnastics and rock-climbing for a number of years. I treated skating the same way. I limbered up, worked on strength and mobility and drilled parts of tricks as progressions till I could do the trick. I learnt so much more in such little time! I seriously wish I had treated skating more like a sport growing up and learning logical progressions towards learning tricks rather than just trying to be a hero and throwing myself unprepared at something new. I would have been 10 times as good. Younger skaters take this advice and be patient.

[@jackstraw5527]

Dude I thought the same thing after getting back into it after 6 years off. I don’t know how younger me learned anything, I don’t remember trying to learn stuff I would just luck into tricks and they would become part of my bag of tricks. With the countless hours I used to skate when I was 17 or so, if I knew what I know now I feel like I would have been so much better. It’s fun trying to really dissect tricks and figure out how to get them now.

[@Chris_Traynor]

Joe Melody I feel ya man. Though at least there are so many other great things about skating too and what it gives back to you. Stay mobile.😁👍🏻

[@isrv]

Gonna try these forsure! Thanks 😎😎😎

[@lophloph07]

That last one was the one i was missing... Thanks

[@morphosis7655]

Good to see those ankle rotations. It’s incredible how quick you can lose ankle mobility as you get older. I know it happened to me!

[@BrettOPediaTV]

As a former varsity track and cross country runner, there’s a lot I can add here and suggest peeps should and should not do depending on the style of skating they do or tricks you’re trying. This is a great place to start! thanks for sharing this. Our bodies are machines and we’re all athletes in varying degrees; take care of yourself! If you can’t move, your skateboard can’t move either 👍🏻

[@veselik8sk82]

interesting,smart,fun and sharp.. Chad thx for sharing this great video,I’m definitely going to start doing that.. big hello from CROATIA. btw ,come to Croatia pls..

[@matthewburnham-jones2829]

Great chat - great vid

[@ChadCaruso]

Thank you Matt

[@tomaspessoa2354]

Interesting video and great vibe spreaded through the channel! Just a tip: tilting up and down your foot its also benefic to your ankle, because it is the opposite orientation of a rolled ankle injury and so it will strenght your foot and prevent it to happen.

[@omegaboss9154]

That shit good, thank you

[@AntonioKantek]

Great video !

[@SkateCrisis]

Thanks for that teaching! Very interesting! 👍🏼

[@trevman8549]

thanks

[@BlackMarketHoney]

Awesome!

[@performa1]

this was good

[@RocketPunchArmy]

Last time I was at the park I stretched my calfs and stood up and immediately skated towards mini ramp. I ollied up onto the ramp (about 2 inches) and my calf exploded. Then again, I am 47.

[@johanfreesk564]

Really good stretches man! Thanks for one of the best channels on youtube about skating. Yours i can totally relate to opposite of most other skate channels. You have a great vibe so I am spreading your videos like herpes man! Keep it up! Greetings from Sweden

[@Ninjxxitty]

oh ya shoulder taps were really effective

[@ryanplaistek9501]

Dude on the bike was shredding

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Believe it or not Chad,one of the best and most simple excercise,stretches u can do,is what the aborigines in Australia do when they get done with a long walk about,they just relax in a square position almost like a catcher in baseball its deep squat easy and I found it at blockbuster video stores,gone now,in a video called how to prevent back injury and how to not injure your back by doing certain thing,the squat was the best thing I took from it and it really get the whole body really mid to lower heavy thou....I've actually remember seeing pro baseball players doing the deep squat and though what da heck and now I know he was doing his lower body stretch last minute probably just to calm his start of the game jitters,and really focus one the breathing,nice guys THANKS,pro athlete in the house had to put my to sense in even if I can't spell it.I used stretch all the time,thanks for the reminder.

[@trollybaxter2338]

Dose the skateboard workout with them lol feel the burn .

[@oskargarden4559]

I recommend everybody in here to check out the daily push. Really good website on all kinds of aspects supporting skateboarding from injury recovery.Stretches, warm up. This one here was really basic

[@opaidoharry]

Do you know a good and free video editing program Chad? not for Apple though

[@ChadCaruso]

I edit everything on my IPhone but I have heard a bunch of people say they use this free editing program cal DaVinci. Another one is Filmora and they also have a mobile app called FilmoraGo. Hope this helpful!

[@opaidoharry]

This Filmora is really good but leaves a "water mark"(idk how to translate it to English); But I'm gonna give a try to this DaVinci, thank you so much man! And do your stretches! By the way: To stretch-EN Alongar-PT Estirar-ES Now you can say that in three languages!

[@mellowwaves7622]

+Lucas James what ever editing app you use that leaves a watermark use it if its good. Then get another app that doesnt leave watermark and crop video so that the watermark disapears. or just pay up that couple of coins to get ridof the watermark, its not that expensive.

[@runswimplayball]

Skateboarding gives me lower back pain

[@beemelonhead1]

Same here man.

[@shanemurphy415]

Same here man

[@ranmarey7068]

Yes

[@mysteryskate8996]

Same here. I got hit by a car years ago and my back got messed up and since then I've gotten lower back pain while skating and riding my board. Sucks can't skate like how i used to.

[@gamingforhumanity6659]

Funny skating relief my back pain

[@fooblefud7840]

Nice video

[@pequei]

currently watching all stretching videos on youtube as my entire body is stiff and in ache after skating two days ago

[@sairaibarra8800]

I cant walk properly my knee hurts from falling also my arm since i put a lot of my weigh in it when i fell im like 2 weeks into skating

[@zoratheexplorer2134]

I totally understand. I have a very sore heel the one I used to kick off. At this point I get around quicker skating than walking. I am hoping the stretches will be helpful.But even though I am walking around like an old person I am gliding like a angel which helps me skate though the pain.

[@francisfs8721]

Oooo that first ankle rotation tho My ankle cracked the first time i did that now and it feels great especially after my ankle injury! Thank you 👊

[@thedailyp00per]

Mclovin knows his stuff

[@justinh7271]

The strength loss due to static stretching is only temporary and normal strength returns within ten minutes, a good mix of static and dynamic stretches should be fine for warming up and static stretches 15 minutes before you skate shouldn't negatively impact your performance (source:learnmuscles.com/blog/2018/10/26/why-does-static-stretching-cause-muscle-weakness/)

[@deniellelusung7925]

i started learning skateboard yesterday & my body aches bc i didnt stretch so im here lol

[@seekingfreedom9020]

Look at the guy in the tie dyed shirts right leg muscle versus his left leg muscle. He must ride regular and push with his right foot because the muscle is bulging out versus the left

[@TaylorPhase]

i cant touch my toes, guess that means MAX POWER

[@bmsmith5UB]

"Turn 90 degrees" Flips upside down 🤣 I love it Chad 👍

[@jestertryna8956]

homie is pretty smart

[@wsg1330]

I was skating the entire day yesterday, practicing chips. bro my legs are aching

[@Mafon2]

I'm at this part of my life.

[@Cilliannn]

I would trust that guy to do my exam

[@barfod78]

Oh yeah the personal trainer reminds me of Mark Wahlberg in pain and gain lol 💪🏼🤗

[@elvisromero3995]

Ive been getting those kickflips alot better instead of going into a varial kickflips

[@ChadCaruso]

Niiiice can’t wait to see the make 👊

[@MrBadger]

Like the video but some wider camera angles would have been nice.

[@Sk8rboy420]

how old are you?

[@krushplanet30]

Legs knees and toes ☺

[@stevecnote7359]

Exspecially 🤷‍♂️

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Also if you have an injured knee be gentle on that he cool guy..

[@drewskidoo]

Cool video but I woulda loved to have seen at least a little skating at the end to show off the limbered up skillz

[@cesdevilallonga]

If you believe you will get it but when you start you feel like a fool.... do the work and the resoults are very nice.

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Everybody needs to stretch their lower back,we sit in chair in cars and its against the natural curve of our back...thanks guys one of my friends at the vert ramp was encouraging me to stretch,hip area is a total mess thank a lot I actually used to do a lot of those,when I raced Motocross and played tennis,they really helped I need to get back to doing them again,a few more years and I'll be older than dirt,cough cough...just kidding.piece.

[@ABetterName22]

Did this mofo just say you shouldn’t stretch. Wtf. No. Don’t stretch right before skating but you should stretch on your off days or a while before or after your session. Also computers absolutely don’t lose information they haven’t used in a while.

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Chad ur a cool guy,and I like u so I'm gonna tell use da truth,not in Italian in English.... Hah ha,u should stretch out before u go to bed as we get older it more important stretch out before u sleep....never stretch out a cold muscle always warm up a little and don't stretch real hard when the weather is colder,get in a good warm up,but stretch before u go to bed just a little it really work,the street stuff u guys do is pretty tough on y'all..try u sleep like a baby,if not I gots my nine and u sleep great all the time,just kidding.piece out.

[@jgrilla6084]

Im legs are fucking sore regretting not stretching

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

A squatting position,chad damn Veroizen can't spell shit and was proud of my spelling ability,I used to be good,deep squatt position,it an easy one that gets u started if your cold,and isn't too far out your normal movement from walking ,be easy stretching that knee pro,I mean BRO....thanks for the help,and reminder...from dirt bikes my ankles are so stiff I might loose a foot if I try to touch them JK.got any glue...I hear that skin glue for big cuts actual is or was being used in hospitals...not kidding.

[@somedayapopularmusician9758]

bro where are your eyebrows??

[@ChadCaruso]

I shaved them to be more aerodynamic while skating

[@brianleon6605]

Tbh i just dont want to pull a muscle

[@mellowwaves7622]

filming on this one sucked. You cant really see the movements. Other than that really good subject!

[@ChadCaruso]

Thanks, I’ll try to shoot some more b-roll next time

[@stokedathletics9589]

Hey dude! Check out the link in the description to our site - we go through each movement in a little more detail. Happy skating!

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Hey Chad coordination not your strong suit,moms mia

[@paulrevere2928]

Should know. Projecting needs accomplishes nothing productive and lacks emotional intelligence. Please utilize empowering language wisely. Thanks

[@ChadCaruso]

I’m sorry Paul, I will try to work on that. Thank you for your comment, hope you enjoy your day
