They're quite durable, slide (which reduces direct impact when I fall and helps for longboard slides if you ever play with those), and you can remove the slide puck (which is nice for two reasons: it can be replaced, or removed for when it interferes with your grip).

[@mashedt8rs290]

I find it difficult to find good videos explaining the stand up slides. Also the corner slide is rarely ever discussed either. I find that you just kind of have to know somebody to help you out. For instance, I've been downhill freeriding for a couple years now. This is the first time I seen someone explain how to tuck your back knee in for fast corners. I feel like these videos are essential for people just getting into the sport.

Great video for beginners. I started skateboarding when I was 8, but no one taught this detailed, it was learn n go. I remember a friend of mine and I were going down a steep hill and hadn't learn to stop yet (your tip don't ride faster than you can stop -- wish I had that one). Well, she lost control of her board first, then I did. And we both flew into some parked cars (think dukes of hazard's but with a fail, body crash over top of car hood landing splat instead)... Anyways, still have a scar on my elbow like skrrrrreetch. Needless to say wish I had this video when I first learned. *also if you crash into someone's car while skateboarding no matter how you feel, get your board and run like hell before they come out and check their car alarm... luckily I *don't* think there was any damage to the car. Me, on the other hand, yessss.

"Feeling the grip of the wheels pushing back against you of the pavement" This is some great adivce which was missing in most of the other helpful beginner videos out there. In the last few days I practised carving intensively and when I started to focus on the wheels pushing back through my feet, I got the hang of it. To me it almost feels as if the wheels are communicating with me through the pressure and let me know how I should handle the various types of pavement.

[@kaylanowak5801]

I've been having a hard time learning foot breaking. As soon as I put my foot down I come to a complete halt, I can't figure out how to put less weight on that foot and slowly stop.

[@Biogenesys]

Practice balancing on your front foot while rolling at slow but comfortable speed on flat. As you get comfortable with that, just start letting your foot hang off beside you and instead of stepping onto that foot, just let it scrape the ground. Slowly begin shifting towards that foot little by little, you'll slow down to an eventual stop unless you pick that foot back up.

[@Flowmada]

Start learning to control your balance on your front foot by pushing off and cruising for a bit without putting your foot on the board, then slowly lower back down to foot brake. Then push again and stop again. This will build up your front leg balance and foot braking ability. Practice it for 10 minutes each day then have fun as usual. Before you know it.. You'll be foot braking like a boss

[@62498eli]

Lightly tap your "brake foot" don't set it down with any weight

[@borkborkinork]

start from a stand-still if that makes sense. use your foot to hold yourself at a stand-still and then slowly relieve the pressure off of your foot until gravity starts to pull you downhill.

[@borkborkinork]

and always keep your front foot at a slight diagonal when you are foot braking. you still might need to control your direction slightly even if you are foot braking

[@andrewithadub3647]

One thing that was missed was how to fall so you can get least hurt

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

Hit the ground. Accept it. Get back up and if it's physically possible right then and there, do it again. You will naturally figure out the best way to fall as you fall more and more.

[@andrewithadub3647]

Chilli-Ice Olive-Abode I was saying to always try to land on your but instead of your back so you don’t hit your head and also to roll if you are sideways to your momentum so you don’t scrape knees if you’re going at a slower speed

@@andrewithadub3647 oh yeah I spose that couldn't hurt. I find it crazy thinking how much easier it must be to learn things nowadays, cuz there's video tutorials of everything. Only 16 years ago we just got a board, blades, bike, maybe watched some pro VODs and then just tried to figure it out between you and your mates.

[@andrewithadub3647]

Chilli-Ice Olive-Abode yeah it’s a good tool definitely and it should be a reason why schooling would be easier and faster instead of not being used

I’ve pushed mongo since I was a sperm it’s fr that bad. And I’ve had no issues personally. But I’m ambidextrous so my brain weird.

[@chrisl9469]

That's so weird. Do u ever wipe out while you're pushing? Like I cant imagine pushing mongo is stable

[@stormypinkness4030]

Do whatever works, it's such a silly thing some skaters worry about. Same thing with mall grabs, worry about having fun and not looking cool.

@@chrisl9469 for me it feels like I ride over cracks easier cause I have less pressure on my front wheels.

@@stormypinkness4030 Mall grabs isn't even a real thing. It was made up by some journalist complaining about kids at the mall that had no idea what he was even talking about.

I bought my first landyachtz skateboard and I am learning the basics. This video is made for me. Thank so much.

This video was edited extremely well. Also very comedic. I love it. Subbed.
