As a guy getting back into skating 12 years out of it, I highly recommend tictacs and flat kickturns first. They helped me a lot when doing kickturns on the ramps. I'd start backside 180 flat, then frontside 180 flat, and then move onto a ramp backside and then frontside

Watching this after taking a really hard fall and busting my arm while trying to learn some really basic stuff. I can be impatient and uncoordinated sometimes, especially as someone who has known how to ride a board for a decade but is ~still~ coming around to skatepark fundamentals like these. All this to say this is a super helpful and encouraging (and in my case needfully humbling) video, thank you for making it! To anyone feeling discouraged, take it from a long-time newbie - it’s okay to learn at your own pace! Just have fun and keep trying, and reward yourself along the way :)

There are a couple variations of the board flip that are super fun for progression too. One of my favorites is starting with the wheels on the ground, and doing a toe flip and 180 to fully flip the board around and land back on it facing the other way.

Cave man day one?!? I still don't cave man... it's a terrifying trick to me. Maybe this order is for super heroes or otherwise daring and gifted folks ;) here was my beginner-beginner progression: pushing correctly, revert, 90 degree kick turn on bank, small drop in, 180 degree kick turn on bank, front side revert and kick turn, carving a pool, higher drop in, ollie (using all the help one can get by human hands, holding bars, skate trainer, grass, carpet etc). Progression was painful and got better using a really small or free style deck for a while.

i would learn fakie revert before the ramp kickturn, you only need the absolute tiniest bit of speed going backwards to get it, and then when you do it on a ramp its the same motion. tictacs deserve a mention towards the start because its a great build up to either of those tricks and it gives you great control over your board

I am 37 years old and started skating in April this year, together with my 7 years old son. Unfortunately i can only skate on sundays, because of Work and all this adult stuff. But i already learned, that i love and hate skateparks at the same time. Great for learning, but while learning i stand in everybodies way. All people want to do nice Tricks and skate all over the Park, while i am just looking for nice comfort spots to practice certsin techniques. After every like three tries, somebody asks, if i could just get out of the way for a moment. I feel like jumping from left to right like all the time....

Absolutely! I just can't get over that Spot and cruise around, for i am still learning the basics. That's why i make use of my holidays right now and go skating in the morning. So i have at least 2 hours in which i can be hogging the whole skatepark and train basics like kickturns on a quarterpipe. U fortunately our skatepark is very small. There can only skate like 2 to 3 people at the same time.

@hugejackedman1951 4 ай бұрын

You will slip off your board. That's how you progress in skating. If you're scared you should wear pads: wrist guards shin guards and hip pads are great for building confidence. Learn to bail! It's an essential skill that you will use every step of the way in your journey with skateboarding. No one lands every trick every time. Everyone bails. Don't give up! If you get too scared take a break and ride around for a bit. Cruising around is great for board control. You don't need to be learning tricks all the time. Overcoming your fear is a big part of skating. Take sane risks and have fun out there 🤘

@@sethamphetaminess oh, that's good then. I just know my overconfidence on that hill where I broke my arm came exactly from them, so I wanted to share the observation of that correlation 😉 Go for pivots (what is called "revert" in this video), and try some little freestyle bits like endovers, turn-ins, walk the dog and "tailstop - heelside rail - flop down" kinda things. You know, where you move your board without losing contact with it, those should help build up your confidence. After those you'd knock out that board flip (aka Baby Leaf, as someone in the comments here said) in like a minute😉
