Beginner Skateboarding Tutorial for Adults

[@DanielKwan]

Hey! I made this video with Keith to help make skateboarding and longboarding more accessible, especially for adults. People often dismiss skateboarding as this dangerous activity for delinquent kids when in fact it's one of the most lightweight and portable forms of transportation. If you ever wanted to get into skateboarding or longboarding, I hope these videos help you out! The new channel: www.youtube.com/@sk8daddies/

I noticed you have a scar on your right(?) ankle. I have a similar one from a tib-fib fracture. Still have the hardware. Not to be nosey but is it the same medical situation with you? Also, just started skating again and man, my ankle strength is NOT what it used to be. At.All...

[@DanielKwan]

@@tencentpistol1 Yup same! Bimalleolar fracture. I can still skate, run, and do like 95% of everything I used to do, but moves that require deeper ankle range of motion or strength aren’t happening for me.

[@sawyerdave1]

I’m just waiting to get told “ya can’t skate here punk “ 😂 by some kid

[@BlownMacTruck]

Love this because it's a reminder that no matter what age you are you should be open to trying new things and learning.

[@jonaichs1976]

I'm 48 and purchased Christian hosoi hammerhead. Favorite of all time. I was a " closet skater wanna be" when I was a teen. I was a long haired metal head and it wasn't cool to like skating in our group. But honestly I always admired it actually quite envious because my family was so poor that if I wanted a quality board we couldn't afford it,not even a replica cutout. So I'm starting late like way late i get it. But um im gonna do it. Good luck to all who are doing the same.

Use to ride in the 70s and 80s getting back into the longboard at 61

[@CrimsonRegalia]

I love that being cool is an important part of the lecture 😂

[@jacqueline.keeley]

Awesome! This is perfect for me - I use an electric skateboard to commute but am very mediocre on a regular board and would like to be better. Looking forward to the next video on the new channel!

[@VirIIx]

I loved this! There's hope for us oldies out there 😅

[@everythingreviewsandnews1229]

58 and just started skating again. Grew up in So California in the 70s and 80s and was really into it when I was a kid. Jumped on a friends long board the other day and was like, damn. This is so cool, but I don't remember the board being so, "oops, i'm out of here" and fly out from underneath me. But keeping it up. Great video

[@zhukie]

Same! Restarting at 57 after about 20-whatever years...but normal board not longboard. Maybe I'll finally get ollies this time lol

[@wjwu6269]

Really enjoyed the skateboarding tutorial! Coach's clear step-by-step instructions and Daniel's live demonstration inspired even older adults like me to want to learn.👏👏👏

[@the1band1wagon]

Super helpful. I just picked up a second hand longboard today. I'm going to do these tips tomorrow.

[@kateelisabeth]

that’s my dad!

[@nicolettanicol9558]

Lucky you!!!👌😉😊😎

[@YeeLeeHaw]

For the helmet I want to add that it's important that you have a helmet that protects the backside of your head as these type of injuries often are the worst.

[@vjr5261]

That’s exactly the type of skateboard I had when I was a kid in California. Probably 1970. I found it in my backyard. It got thrown over the concrete wall. It was just a board with metal skate wheels. I broke my arm on it. Good times. I’m 64 and riding a longboard still.

[@Stanislasz]

Great tips! I remember that day when you were brainstorming this idea with Keith, it was a fun experience to learn all of these tricks with him!

[@TheVeganarchism]

5:30 This seems like a great way to have the board shoot out sideways from under you, which has happened to every person who ever tried to stand on my stationary board. Why not just teach people to push and hop on? Way easier, more stable and actually useful!

[@pandrews01]

Great Video!! It's never to late to try or do something you've never done before.

[@LarsLarsen77]

You should go ahead and learn both goofy and regular. It's not like a snowboard where you need to mount your bindings one way or the other. You can just switch. Also, you wanna learn goofy so when you're riding in traffic you don't have your back to the cars (you can't see them.)

[@tencentpistol1]

Switch stance is a fundamental that should be taught from the start. Totally necessary for both street and vert riding.

[@RageStudios]

haven't Keith in a while, welcome back to China master!

[@spectre_esk8]

Love this! I keep one handy. This makes me wanna actually ride it again

[@eBoard3R]

*Great collab!* 🤙🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼 More collabs with Keith!! I was reminded of "wax on, wax off daniel san" where Keith kept sayin "Bolts on, bolts off". Jumpin backwards is scary 😭 I can be a little clumsy sometimes 😂 Really enjoyed this one 👏🏼👏🏼

[@46on56MILLIES]

47 and a Super beginner i am. Going on One year of complete skate practice/time, been in the scene and product knowledge for 2 years and a half . All custom.

[@tommottp]

Great video, really helpful for the older generation. Must Keith reminds me of that Calvin klein model back in 2013?

[@michaelwagner6410]

I just started riding E Skate zero experience at all. 28. I ride regular, and have 300 miles doing so and it feels natural and right. I did the test you guys demonstrated for the goofy/regular test and my right foot went out to stop me. So according to the test I'm goofy, But when I'm on my board, goofy just feels,... Goofy. But not in a good way.

[@lurklingX]

this is amazing, thank you. it's really fun to learn along with keith!

[@nicolettanicol9558]

That was the most entertaining and helpful video i ve ever seen about skateboarding for adults. I guess i got a new favourite chanel😉👌😊😎

[@eurisken]

After watching you for 4 years, i would have never guessed that you were 41, always thought you were.kid twenties or something. Keep up the great videos!

[@lurklingX]

2:00 ahhaha the falling montage and the "uwaahhh"s 😂 wasn't expecting that.

[@jamesnguyen767]

Thoughts on the new backfire boards?

[@mattlau]

9:19 that sounds so satisfying!

[@JeremyToh]

Didn’t know Dan has become a daddy. Congratulations!

58 and ride a rip stik/caster board plus balls-out snowboard and skier in winter....run, yoga, climb.....use it or lose it, life's for living

[@Ktronic5]

Haha as soon as I saw the two of you I knew this was going to be gold

[@darwinace6745]

holy crap the jingle at the beggining killed me XD

[@rameshputhalamanoharareddy6942]

[@esk8jaimes]

Griptape against your shirt is a bad idea, lotta shirts got torn this way... Wheels away from body.

[@fonzieskatesurf]

11:45 i put my right foot at the back and kick with my left, i ride regular but on a bodyboard i ride goofy dropknee

[@Busywave]

Very good stuff. Thanks so much

I think skateboarding is actually a great hip mobility and hip muscle excersise and more if you do it properly and don't fall like an idiot. Now we know how to begin. I like this vid.

Generally, the most important thing you need to do before you start learning to skateboard is to buy insurance.

[@buzimamusic5545]

О да , то что нужно! Oh eah , i need this!😂

[@danielsal5442]

Not sure the song in the beginning is true. Have a hard time believing anyone will think they are cool. But learning to skate is more to have fun than being cool 😄. Maybe it was cool when you were 13 years old.

[@gotchava]

Whuere did you buy those Supra?

[@DanielKwan]

Taobao

[@aaronvu6292]

Look into a Surfskate if you are an older person: They're easier to ride, improve your agility, endurance, and fun.

[@stageiiwappie950]

Do u mean a penny board style or popsicle or cruiser board with the special trucks? Looks cool but kinda expensive setups. And i have no real good skateparks nearby to make use of them

[@aaronvu6292]

@@stageiiwappie950 Yes, you need Surf Adapters so the trucks can move 'side to side'. They're versatility. You will work your whole body cruising down the street. It's easier to learn on the street. Great for older person.

One of the worst into to boarding vids I've seen. There's zero point in starting a newbie balancing primo-- it requires very different balance than riding/standing on the board & it's fairly risky for anyone who might not have the best balance to begin with (eg; new riders). And nearly 3 minutes spent on 'looking cool' while learning to ride? lol you'd think at his age he'd be beyond that shit. Do what you like, have fun, don't worry if you're holding your board the 'cool' way.

[@MuttonChops24]

Teaching a primo as the very first thing is diabolical. couldnt watch any more of the video past that. this is reckless and completely stupid and unecessary.

[@gam67]

Your video content has experienced a decline in both quality and purpose. Is this indicative of a potential conclusion?

[@Devildog2049]

I'm 43 I just got back from the skatepark for the first time since skating in the 90s and let me say hitting my face against the concrete was not fun. 😂 So I Google: How old is too old to go skateboarding this is the first video that popped up. 🛹🛹🛹
