How To NOT Look Like A Complete Beginner Skateboarder

Hey guys!
In today's video I'll be showing you how to NOT look like a complete beginner at skateboarding.
I know it can be tough to find something that you can actually practice, especially when there's all these super good skateboarders out there. So here's just a few things that I would always go out and practice and non of these things will ever get old. You will keep doing them for pretty much the rest of your skate journey, so might as well get good at them.
Don't forget to let me know if this video helped you by dropping a like&comment! I don't always reply but I read them!

[@YUNGWAVY]

Hope you guys enjoy today's video! I'm working on building a playlist of video for beginners and people who are just getting started. I know it can be hard to know or find do-able things to practice. So my goal is to put out a bunch of videos out there for you guys to try and practice. Let me know what you guys are struggling with or working on and I'll try my best to help you out. Don't forget to drop me a like or comment if you really love the vids! I don't always reply but I always read them. Love you guys, keep shredding!

Hi Wavy I love your videos I just got some All black Vans high tops and I’ve been using them in my cruiser and my tricking skateboard 🛹 Can you make a video about going uphill and downhill? As always keep up the good work ❤❤❤

[@Dompdomp20]

Thanks 💜💜

[@demyfaki6307]

If you can make a video with more tips one them it would be very nice 👍. Thanks Yung Wavy 🌊.... I will keep practicing on ollies till then 😁...

[@DulVids]

May i know what type of risers are u using?

[@astro55]

Hey dude thanks for all your chill videos I started recently and snapped my ankle didn't hurt and kinda scared because maybe I broke some bones but it turned out fine my doctor said I'm good to go and I think I want to continue skating😂 but I'll be more careful now.

[@adamsdiscussion7358]

Hey i just recover from broken shoulder lmao.. falling from boardslide a rail

[@qwuantum]

I have a knee injiry and I can't skate

[@robb7197]

Wrist sprained but it's almost healed 🙏

[@Paint121]

I did the same thing but with ma leg lol

[@senpai_jackie]

My main tip: Try to be as comfortable as possible. Try not to be stiff. Love your vids wavyyy!

[@thugdc8574]

bought my first board a week ago. this is my main channel for advice!

[@Lirskii]

Hi!! I literally have been skating for three months, I've been having a low-key hard time feeling comfy on my board; so I just wanted to say that your videos are sick!! I watch them all the time and they are SOSOSO helpful! Thanks for taking the time to help us!

[@Atlasrylee]

Bro thank you so much every time I see one of your videos I get motivated to go skate anywhere I can, me and a couple of my friends are going to the local (very small skate park like 2 boxes and a rail) tonight

[@brucebaldwin309]

Hey Wavy, I love your chill videos and the way you share your skate knowledge and expertise in a way that doesn’t force anything on people. I wanted to ask whats your playlist for skating?

[@mateocastro400]

Bro when I wanted to start skateboarding I searched up skateboarding in KZbin and I found your channel the videos weren’t only helpful they were entertaining so I just wanted to say thank you for showing me how to skate.

[@oli-the-turd-8349]

One tip: dont worry about wearing a helmet or a hella lot of pads cuz it will help when learning to drop in or something. My first try i fell back flat on my back and my hand/ elbow pads were grazed a lot. Saved some pain

[@ASHESPREVAIL]

Good stuff enjoying the longer format stuff

[@jeffyo_]

I don't call people out when I see them push Mongo or anything like that but I think it's discouraged for a reason. I don't think it looks dumb, but it is more difficult and and unoptimal l, especially when it comes to running starts. It's super easy to fall of when ur throwing down Mongo

[@NHSSHINOBI]

Hello Yung, I've been watching your shorts and didn't even know you posted full length yt videos 😱 I'm 24 and starting to get back into skateboarding. My local sk8 park is right next to an apartment building. People hang out on their balconies and laugh when I fall. It's so embarrassing and discouraging.

[@kairos-dh1bc]

Don’t pay attention to those dickheads, they probably can’t even maintain their balance on a skateboard let alone actually ride one so just ignore them. They’ll see your progression and at some point your progression will shut them up. It’s a motivator. I’m 31, haven’t skated in about 15-16y and just now getting back into it because of my 5yo son, we’ve all been through those things. Flip the switch in your head and use all that as a motivator to keep improving and keep pushing.

"I don't want you to scroll around and watch another video after this one, pick your skateboard up and go touch some grass / concrete!" Me with my strained knee after going to a pump track, falling and watching videos to get better theoretically overall while my leg heals : 👁👄👁 (Very good video, keep it up!)

[@HT10_]

Why did you get rid of the colored bolts?

[@drawwithtara5712]

Which wheels are u using?

[@Radical0409]

Hey can i ask if a $23 skateboard any good for a beginner? because i bought one and its good for me but i dont know if it will break when I start learning tricks

[@vince8684]

A 23$ board is fine for starting out, but when you start getting better you definitely wanna get a better board

[@XxAzraelTheAngelxX]

"go outside get your board touch some cement touch some grass get some sun" me: has covid, cold asf outside, raining.

can i ask you something ? does someone call you emo because i love your style

Sheesh I see you wearing the Yung Corduroys

[@dimavlasiuk4220]

You wavy how do I get myself to not be scared to do drops? Like there’s this curb I want to Ollie from but every time I try I get scared and what was once an Ollie turns into a 360 impossible and I fall.

[@logicproblems3654]

just do it. you're making seem like if you fall you'll die- the fall isnt that bad.

[@janesco923]

Im feeling alone to learn skate in 2023?

[@dy2c]

Well then work harder to fit in with the actual skaters, then you'll not be alone

[@redacted_e]

Im feeling alone in 2024

[@Nezz565]

The people who hate are just kids with no experience and are usually 12 year old kids on scooters who laugh at you when you fail a kick flip when if they actually got on a skateboard they would literally die from how difficult it actually is

Bro my wheels stuck when I turn my board plzz give a tutorial to fix it

[@Tsukid]

You know my introvert ass that want to go in a skatepark, just, scared to be judged yk. I don’t even have a garage.. so because of my social anxiety, I stopped skating. Yeah it’s been a year now? I wish one day someone will help me through it. And, I wish I had skateboarders friends that could help me and we can go together at the skatepark.

[@kairos-dh1bc]

Just go. Fellow skaters will help each other out at some point. They see you showing up regularly putting in the effort, they’ll acknowledge that and help you however they can. Shy/nervous? Let that be the first thing they’ll help you get rid of by simply being honest about it. The more honest you are about anything the more chance you’ll get to receive help. Sooner or later you’ll have people walking up to you going hey brother how you doin. Skaters, we’re about the most easygoing types of people around as we all know we’ve all been there in that spot. The dickheads in the community are the ones eventually getting left behind.

[@marakchigit9342]

Make a tutorial on tre flip😢I can't land my tre flip how can I commit

Hi

[@Heather-tn2to]

Pov: watching this after your skateboard broke

[@loganedward5516]

I feel really stiff on my board I’ve been skateing for a year in a half I can kickflip but I always feel so stiff

[@kairos-dh1bc]

It’s because you’re too focused on not falling. Falling is a part of it, embrace it and keep pushing. Loosen up those hips, do some wavy groovy riding on streets/parks and you’ll become a smooth bastard. Most people who stay stiff haven’t focused enough on the riding part and manoeuvring around the park/street.

[@michallll22]

wear helmets there is nothing to be ashamed of and it gives you safety

Until they start talking to you and they’ll most likely end up being good people. Unless they’re the VAST minority of dickheads within the community.

i do goofy skate someone say me you do wrong

[@kairos-dh1bc]

That’s because they don’t know what they’re talking about. Some of the best skaters in the world skate goofy. I think it’s about 46% skates goofy vs 54% skating regular, based on a recent poll/study/whatever
