[@AnonYmous-be9vw]

From an almost 50 year old skater: the term poser is reserved for those that imitate the fashion of skateboarding while not skateboarding. If you skate, you're not a poser. If you suck or are a beginner, you're just that, no big deal. It's all about the fun. If you see someone judging someone else's abilities, they are insecure, a bully, or both, period.

[@kadu1029]

Agreed. I hate the term Mongo pusher is a poser. Weird how people judge. I simply just skate.

[@mrmultifoshoable]

When I was coming up I remember it being if you could do one trick at all even an ollie. But if they were truly faking it you could definitely tell by how well they could even ride a board. But yeah bullying someone off of skating in general is fucking lame.

Fuckin sick, I love seeing older skaters. There’s this one guy at my older park that’s in his 60’s and totally shreds the absolute shit out of every piece of the park. Dude is better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He’s clearly been skating since it was a thing and never stopped since. Dude it in great shape though too.

[@arcadesunday4592]

Almost anyone with a reasonable amount of body control / physical ability can get "better" at skateboarding, but it takes more than just a passing interest in the science of skateboarding... if you truly want to get "better", you need to simply put in the hours. Watch vidoes. Get ampped. Try what you see in the videos. Try meeting regularly with other skaters or frequent the same skateparks as much as possible. Learn flat land tricks. Spend any free time you have rolling around, riding backwards and flipping the board around... try riding switch (even a little)... it's a lifestyle... oh, and DEFINITELY watch Braille skateboarding on KZbin! Lots of trick tips there !! Happy skating !

[@Texas240]

I couldn't ever get into skateboarding (or roller skating). Whatever balance or coordination is required, I didn't have it. I did however have fun racing BMX from my teens onto 20s and then drifting in my 30s as time and funds allowed. It's entirely possible you just don't have the aptitude for skating despite having a desire to skate. Unfortunately, practice doesn't work if you're practicing the wrong thing, developing bad habits, getting injured (and griefed by people who care about you or are paying your medical bills) with no improvement to show for it. If there are skaters you are trying to hang out with, go ask them if you can watch them when they skate or ask if any can show you. Realize that most people who are good at a thing aren't good at teaching or coaching it. I've known guys very adept at different sports, from physical to esports to motorsports who could just DO it but couldn't tell someone else HOW to do it. If you can watch, try to imitate someone who can do things successfully. Granted, that's the real life version learning by watching a video and it's much more helpful if they actually can tell you what to do with your body. Again, there are levels of aptitude. But trying to break things down into the simplest possible steps and build up. I saw a video of a guy teaching his cat to get up on the board and push. He lured the cat to the board and gave a click and treat. A click and treat at every individual step in chain of steps getting the cat on the board and pushing it. Do that with yourself to whatever extent the tricks allow. Do the first step until you get it. Add the 2nd step. 3rd, etc until you get the whole thing together. Sure, you might look or feel like an idiot because you're basically purposefully not doing all of the trick, but baby steps until you get there. In my case it was balance on wheels. Skateboard or skates I didn't have it. Bike, I was fine. You may just have such a low aptitude that trying to get better isn't going to be any fun and you'd be better finding something else you have more aptitude for that you can enjoy progressing at. If you still like skating, go to the park or hangout and watch and be magnanimous with compliments when people do cool things instead of feel angry or sad that you can't do them. I remember in my 20s, I'd get beat by some faster kids that hadn't ever really been injured or didn't have other non BMX goals in life yet and didn't have that holding them back any. I'd congratulate them and if they got to taking too much crap and couldn't take a compliment, I'd lay them out in a turn at the next track practice because I was obviously stronger. Usually, they preferred just accepting compliments after that. Obviously, you don't want to pick fights with people you want to learn from, but if you compliment someone and they do talk trash because they're better than you, you might not actually want to hang out with that crowd. On the other hand, you can admit that yeah he's better than you and ask him why he can't accept you complimenting his skill and trick. Maybe he'll realize that he's better and you already know that so he doesn't need to talk trash to make himself feel better. Anyways, some musings from an older guy who's tried various things over the years and had fun with some more than others and met very diverse groups of people.

[@Joke1Time]

The last push is how you end up flying when you hit a pebble lol

[@ramon_Huft]

When you're at that point in skating, you likely already took some tough falls, and would be fine with taking a fall once in a while. Coming from a seasoned longboarder🙏🏻

[@jakemccoy]

What is your stance to avoid being sent by a pebble?

[@ramon_Huft]

@@jakemccoy I usually squad down a bit deeper to allow a bit more room for my board, a bit like the springs under a car

[@jakemccoy]

@@ramon_Huft That may work if you see the pebble. If you run up on a rock that is going nowhere, the board is stopping.

[@ewatfred]

@@jakemccoy i usually stand on my other foot to keep minimal contact with my board directly in the middle of it because I'm a super-mega-pro-advanced skater

[@Yoshifurmi]

Your feet don’t just keep getting closer and closer, there’s no wrong way to have your feet on the board except for how close he had them on the last one

@@johnnyringer but why? everyone that spent some time on their board can already tell the difference, but if ur doing it for fun then i understand i guess but still u could do some trick tips instead of these useless shorts/tiktoks that call beginers posers, i could see myself as some beginer and get demotivated from u calling the first push poser, u know just saying…

Thx for the ending bc im just started out i was getting decent got my board stolen and just got a new one so i dont really remember much and i feel self conscious i hope i can relearn and get good

[@StunningSummarysTop10s]

One thing that I think turns away new skaters is the fear of being called a poser as it’s mostly known as a bad thing but most people in skating use it to refer to a beginner so I hope if anybody reads this and wants to start skating you go do it!!!

@@littlezfor99-07 but you are still clumping them together and discouraging beginners from getting into it which anyone who actually wants to be helpful wouldnt do

[@jefsacat]

if you really care about what they think, then don’t skate at all, beginners are posers if you make yourself one, if you try and genuinely put time and effort into skating then you aren’t a loser, you’re a beginner, who cares if they call you a poser, prove to other people that you aren’t by actually showing up to the skatepark to skate or put in effort outside the park as well, eventually you’ll have style and confidence and you won’t be a poser anymore, too bad people skate to look cool nowadays

[@wamsly2334]

He said / which means "or", he didn't call beginners posers dummy butt

[@yox2822]

@@wamsly2334 my main comment was just for fake internet points bro. But he still puts beginners and posers in the same group, which kind of implies that they’re comparable which is stupid.

[@jonts7]

This applies to pretty much everything. As a chess player, we can tell wether someone's a beginner just by how they touch/move the pieces on the board.

[@thelettera6610]

Oh man when i would skate around i would always have music goin and i would be dancing while riding and keeping my balanced. I even kinda learned to ride with only being on one foot. People think skating is scary but once you get used to it its so relaxing

[@joeycox3243]

This is so true. Thanks for putting this into a short 👍

[@johnnyringer]

Gotchu!

[@user-tk2jm3qi3y]

@@johnnyringerman, advanced level is when you’re not pushing from the ground at all, but just zigzagging. I can do it from zero speed and even uphill. When ppl see me doing it on the street they can’t even understand what is going on😊

[@mikeillaoi9198]

​@@user-tk2jm3qi3ythat's called tik tacking you use the turning momentum to get speed haha

[@FPVslayer]

@@johnnyringerhave you tried to SKOG (skate jog)? It’s when you switch between both feet for pushing casually (yes, sometimes mongo) and also switch between riding goofy and regular constantly. I learned it when riding downhill everyday with the local pros from landyachtz, rayne, and o-tang. Best cruising tips I’ve gotten. Your legs never cramp.
