How to Have FUN Skateboarding When you SUCK

[@brandonfeltman7429]

heres the order: *learn to just RIDE. i mean really learn. be able to turn tight corners and handle holes, bumps, and hills. be able to spot possible problems in the4 street like pebbles and cracks. just get really good at just cruising. just cruising around is SOOOO much fun by itself. but i know there are those who are saying "yea its fun, but its not enough because i want to learn tricks". thats good. its good you want to learn. but if you want to learn FASTER, you need to learn how to ride like the wind FIRST. *practice controlling your board and your body while on the board. so practice jumping up while riding and landing back on your board. do small manuals. small easy nose manuals. nothing crazy. just enough to help you feel the board changing orientation under you, and your balance correcting itself. *once you can ride, control your balance and can somewhat manipulate your board under you (i.e. small manuals or kick turns), then move to small ollies. it doesnt matter how they look or how high. just get the feel of the board rising off the ground being pulled by your foot. because the ollie is not just a "jump". the ollie is a vital tool used to get you either over things or off things, or to help you get air so you can perform flip tricks or other air tricks. you dont ollie just to ollie. your ollie should have PURPOSE. the ollie is made so you can jump over stuff or into the air, but take your board with you..not just for jumping. so give your ollie purpose. start by just practicing the movements and motions until you can get some air. then immediately move to ollie over things. i dont mean cars...i mean cracks or pine straw or shadows. small, flat things. this is to get the idea of taking your board with you when you jump over things, because that in itself is a mental hurdle you will have to face. once you can manage small things, just gradually move to larger, wider, taller things. find your own pace....everyone is different. *once you can manage performing ollies on demand and have the feeling on lock, combine the two. ride and ollie over everything. *start with small tricks. anyone can do any trick if they practice. dont give up. keep going for years and years and years. then look back at your old self and see how gnarly youve became. congrats...youre now the real deal. go shred.

Do you loosen your board or tighten it?

@@2_572 its totally preference, though when starting and getting used to popping the board a slightly tighter truck will help with balance. after that, its all up to what feels comfortable to you.

for everyone that’s taken a big fall: congrats dude! you’ve only just started to understand skateboarding please understand that we literally chose a sport that we’ll get hurt in. the only thing is whether or not you choose to get up from that fall and keep skating or not. trust me dude. the most recent big fall i had was trying to drop in, and i didn’t commit all the way and trust me- thank goodness i was wearing a helmet xD so no matter what happens- stick to what you love. never give up dude! that’s how you really get good at skateboarding!

[@EacRicky]

Same i started skating about a month ago and when trying to go up and down a little ramp my cousin has i fell so hard😂my arm was hurting for like an hour but i signed up for this 😂

[@mahirah3]

im a beginner, i fell and scraped my knee bc my wheels stopped at ONE small crack, it wasn't even big but i haven't been able to skate or walk properly for over a week. still waiting on it to heal but it shows that clearly it wasn't a huge thing at all but even the smallest things can be so unmotivating, only if we let it be. the first fall i experienced, i thought i should just give up. instead, i got back up and kept going. aside from the fact that we chose to do this & we're so passionate in making it work, falls (whether they're big or little) are one of the most motivating things about it. getting up shows that we can keep doing it. thank you for this comment, it was inspiring & after watching this i think i needed to hear it haha :))

[@netfricks5041]

[@420dogslife]

I'd just like to say everyone should wear full pads and a helmet, specially when learning. If not at least wrist guards and a helmet. It will make things easier and more fun when you have to worry less about falling. P.S. Rodney Mullen the Godfather wore full pads and helmet!

[@georgeferguson2188]

I just got back into skateboarding agin , became a lazy couch potato for 8 years . I took a massive blow to the head trying to drop in on 6 foot vert ramp , didnt commit to it at all . No helmet . That's why I got full gear now . I have still petrified of dropping in . Wana try agin just nothing on a smaller scale around to try. But just geting out and cruising is fun . Theres a pump track where I live and its hela fun and good practice for geting use to board .

No one cares about this but I feel like saying it: My town is in Phase 1 so we can hang out (distanced and with mask and yeh) and that's like, the best bc we can go skating, although there is quite a lot of ppl going out so we have to skate with our longboards, it's ok tho still we can't practice any tricks. But, when we are home we record ourselves trying tricks and send them to each other, it's actually very cool because we praise each other (true feelings) and it makes us happy (sorry if you don't understand, I'm not good at writing)

I think one thing that helped me is that I practice you're tricks. This way you will start seeing improvements and will make you want more. During lockdown I could some tricks but I had not yet gotten good at them. So I went and practiced them over and over again. I got a lot better at skateboarding. Even learned how to kickflip , noseslide and 50 50. Even started skating some drops and gaps that before I wasn't confident enough too skate. So in short , practice , you will get better and skateboarding will start to get a lot more fun.

I have 78a 54mm wheels and it's the best wheels for street in my opinion. Speed is always a factor and the roads and sidewalks are rarely smooth.

I stopped skateboarding at age sixteen after being only really good at manuals, (switch-) shove-it’s, drop-in’s and doing hill bombs. I skated for only two years but never got over the fear of landing simple kick- or heelflips, never learned any grinds or slides, so I was really blocking myself. Seing my pal break his whole arm in two pieces trying to Ollie over a small curb terrified me so much that I never got over it. Today, 21 years later at almost age 38, I bought my first skateboard since then and stepped on it. My knees are wobbly as hell and it feels strangely unknown yet somehow quite familiar to stand on a board again. My first go for an Ollie got me landing on my wrist but I got the board up in the air. Most excitingly, I can still do the switch BS Shove-it right away. I know I’ll get hurt a lot in the coming days. But I love the feeling to get into skating again ❤

Been skating for a month, and even though all I can do is Ollie up and down curbs while cruising, and the occasional shuv it I’ll never stop again. 25 years old and I wish I had stuck with it when I was 14-15.

Nice video 😄 For me it‘s enough motivation to be able to do a trick sooner or later and stay focussed

If you never skated before, getting a cruiser is the way to go. You will learn board control, proper heel/toe carving, and maybe some sliding, all while getting from point A to B. Im rockin' a Loaded Poke I bought used, it's the best for the city,. If you can ollie and/or powerslide a longboard/cruiser, you got some skills.

I've been skating for 4 days now. I just built a brand new board, my 1st one was 7.75". My new one is 8.5", and man it feels better! I'm learning to Ollie, I got the general riding and pushing down for the most part. I wish I would have started years ago.

So 4 days into skating you already got an entire new complete

I cracked my femur by myself when I was 14 back in 96 I was by myself about a mile from home. The closet house to me was across a four lane. No one could see me until I got to the road I made it scooting on my board halfway when I started blacking out. My friends girl lived at that house and saw me luckily. Skating alone is a risk that you shouldn't take.

Hit the skate park in everett and did my first rock to fakies on Saturday as well as getting the feel for carving alittle, so stoked

I've been skateboarding since 98. Can't ollie ,broke my left wrist, left ankle, jammed my right elbow ( can't extend my arm all the way)and my left knee is now starting to bother me. I still have fun and still practice for an hour or 2 a day. If you love the activity cause you find it fun your legit in my book. The way I see it as long as I skate I'll eventually get it and just have fun along the way
