[@owenh161]

i live by one term and one term only: “fuck it” i say it before i attempt skate tricks or anything else that scares me and it seems to help.

[@rukas2961]

Yeah dude "fuck it" thing helps me out soo much. You dont have time to think about the outcome. I have a story from like 5 years ago. I remember being like 11 years old scared to ride a medium ramp for like 1month. Maybe because it had a rail and the small ramp didnt and i couldnt do the drop in or other reasons, i was just scared. Then one day me and my friend came to the ramp and i went on it like always to look at it like its my worst enemy. I concentrated and after 10 minutes i just said fuck it to myself and dropped in. It was the best feeling and the adrenaline rush and hype was soo high i just said fuck it and went for the 3rd ramp - the highest there. It was like meter higher. Without thinking i placed my skateboard and dropped in not waiting till my brain creates fear in my head. I just went for it and did it. Its always 100 times easier when you just do it not thinking about the outcome and possible ways to fall. If you fully comit and its not fucking retarded idea you will most likely do it. Once you stay here looking at it you start to change your mind you become scared and start not believing in yourself. Believe me ive been there its best for everyone to just do it and dont stop mid air to think just commit all the way.

[@woobuh2762]

my skateboard got stolen, and i was scared of falling. i only used them with skater trainers. so far, doing general things that i’m scared of has been working using the method of “don’t be a bitch/pussy” and trust me, it fucking works

[@parzivin]

Tips For Beginners: (1) Learn some basic parkour safety rolls and impact compression. (2) Before you ollie down stairs jump down them first and intentionally fall. (3) If you can't do it flat ground 3 times in a row, don't send it. (4) Majority of people have an inability to note their skill level, and do stupid shit and get hurt. (5) Don't get hyped by friends to do stuff you can't do, watch a 'tutorial first' and 'build up'. Example: (Dropping in) Start on a small bank without coping to get the motion, then attempt the drop in. P.S. don't lean back (6) Slowly loosen your board quarter turns everyday, not too much where you can get wheel bite or bad wheel bite on drops (7) I have only fractured my hip by blacking out. The benefits of learning to fall greatly out-way any hospital visits. 17 years of skateboarding, started when I was 4. (8) Wear good protection (including a helmet), not flimsy Walmart BS, get triple 8 it will last years. (9) if you break away from knee pads; you have to program your brain to not skim your knees, likely the hard way. (10) Don't make excuses of something you could land or do, people don't want to hear it. Just keep trying (11) Play Skate 3 (12) etc, I'am too lazy to continue typing tips so good luck

I saw a teacher skater at my local skate park today, he was trying to Land this trick so I didn’t really wanna bother him, but he must have noticed that I was struggling a bit (I started skating about a month ago) and he gave me a few pointers and taught me how to drop in from a small half pipe and he also helped me with some kick turns. I really appreciate people like that who just take the time out of their day to help some beginners. Thanks, teacher dude.

[@angelb7482]

I remember my starting days when I would be having that constant fear of cracks in the sidewalk or road, now it’s one of those old memories

[@token_5654]

Well actually I don’t. Usually I get hurt trying a trick. Like I remember when I first started skating, and their was this 3 stair in front of my old elementary school, and so I wanted to Ollie it. I tried it a couple times and rolled my ankle. Then, my confidence boosted, I was like, “Now that I’ve gotten hurt, theirs no way it could hurt more or again”. I know it doesn’t really make sense, but to me it does, and that’s what helps me, so I highly agree with taking a fall.

[@no-wt7me]

Did you do it?

[@user-rj6cu1yr5v]

i did same thing today but it was 2 stairs. . . i just said "i want it so i will land it" and after a little slam i noticed that you can't get more hurt than that so after slamming i landed it

[@mattweitman1199]

But that’s the problem, you got hurt because you skipped progress

[@sp0il3r64]

I'm a newbie and I started skating like 8 months ago, and I was so afraid of doing an ollie while moving, whenever I tried my mind just blocked and I couldn't ollie, then one night (It was like 3 a.m. xd) I started thinking about it, and thinking how cool it would look (idk I think ollie is a basic trick but it can sometimes look cool), and then I just thought about just sending it, I said to myself "Tomorrow i'll just send it and I will not give a single fuck If I fall.", the next day I got it at first try and I freaked out and I told all my friends of how excited I was and that I just got my first ollie.

[@2_572]

I’m pretty new at skating. I’m 29 and not a rubber band anymore like when I was 12. I got lots of fear but I think the most important point in this vid is just to be comfortable riding. You do that and everything else falls into place. Good vid bud thanks!! 🇨🇦

[@SteveFleming-uv5xx]

not really. you will reach a peak very quickly and it takes a consistent amount of increasing effort and muscle training at a rate that doesn't get you brutally mangled or killed,but just relatively scraped and bruised up (sore and dehydrated too). then rinse and repeat without failing to RETURN TO. THE SKATEBOARD. I Dont ride bikes, I don't walk when the weather is fair, I skate on any chance God gives me, cause there are literally endless variations of how to skate, and what to skate. when you tear muscles, break bones or even if you're raw from skating yesterday, try skating nollie or switch, if that's too painful, try pushing with your opposite foot. try holding manuals for longer, try pole-jams, wallies, Chinese Ollie's, reverts, firecrackers, cannon balls. try to drop in on a 3 foot quarter pipe. skateboarding is the only sport for me. I hate being told what to do or how something "should" be done. everyone who has ever told me what I should do has been wrong and can't find their own way out of a paper bag. look out for yourself. teach yourself. embrace failure. learn every day and celebrate the smallest victories. battles are won inch by inch just don't let yourself slip back. hang tight bro. shred them gnarz

I'm in a small group of skateboarders who go to a skatepark every Sunday. There are so many different age groups, we have some kids as young as 7 who know how to skate and some as old as 70. Within 10 minutes of skating this kid fell out of the bowl and got a skateboard to the face, he luckily didn't loose any teeth but his gums were bleeding within a minute he was back on his board and back in the bowl. Not even 5 minute slater his older brother did the exact same thing. But both just walked it off and we continued having fun for another 4 hours. The lesson is that it doesn't matter if you get hurt its just learning how to take it and get back up again

i was pennyboarding, and fell and broke my ankle. it was terrifying but its been two months and im ready to get back to it. i finally got my new skateboard in and i wanna try it out finally. if you arent sure if you wanna start, just try and keep trying. it becomes addictive and its all youll wanna do.

[@denkikaminari2744]

haha funny story, on my first day skating i was like “oh heck yeah i can do this” so i went for a big circle type of turn and then fell and rolled my ankle. i was scared like hell to ride again for a while but now... i’m still traumatized. kidding, i’m actually pretty good at skating now. i needed to find a video like this a year ago =‘)

Denki Kaminari same with me man but I was skating with steel toe.

[@carolinatimemachine6338]

The way I understand it is that skateboarding is a “default mode” that is learned from your “task mode” brain. Once you get the key elements down, you then learn to switch off (default mode) which allows you to commit and send it. You’re spot on with that and I am still learning myself 👍🏻

[@karanked6764]

i usually count my self down from 3 quickly because you dont give yourself time to overthink, for example when i was learning how to drop in on a half pipe i just did a quick 321 and i was already down the ramp

Tennis courts are a good place to learn to learn to balance, push, and ollie like me I'm still new at this

[@OZdoesArt]

I have a tendancy to get nervous when I start to go fast and that turns into speed wobbles and speed wobbles turn into Not A Very Good Time, BUT I read a comment somewhere that basically said not to focus on your legs, focus on your stomach and chest. You feel more "solid", more stable, and your legs will feel a lot less gelatinous. I think that was super good advice, and has helped me out. And the definitely the less you think, the better. Just make it into a nice zen moment instead of a "wow I sure hope I don't fall and die" moment.
