How To Not Look Like A Complete Beginner Skater

How To Not Look Like A Complete Beginner
I was thinking to myself, if I saw a skater pushing down the street, what are the ways that I would be able to tell them apart from someone who had just picked up a board for the first time? So, I decided to go over a few of the main points that I came up with. Basically, if you don't know anything about skating but you manage to learn all or even some of the things in this video, you're one step closer to giving off that "skater vibe".
Oh yeah, and I realize that this video is very similar to my "10 Things Beginners Should Know How To Do Well" video, and I didn't realize that until I had already filmed but, I'm hoping I made this one different enough to be worth it.
As always, thank you for watching and I'll see you next time!

I just started skating and the first thing i found out is that confidence is really key. Don’t try to pretend you’re all experienced or know anything about it, just own that you’re a beginner and be honest and confident about it. If you do that you’ll not only learn way faster, you’ll also find out that most people don’t even care.

Thank you so much! I just bought a skateboard a couple weeks ago but the community seems so toxic and I’m scared to ask anyone for help 😂😭 the thing about putting your weight into the foot on the board was so helpful!!

[@clark987878]

Honestly you're cute and skater boys dream of having a skater girl even if they don't tell their friends. so the only thing you should worry about is if they guys are being overly picky or mean to you they probably just all like you and are too afraid of each other and you to show it. They think how much it would hurt to be nice to you in front of the boys and get shut down by you or called a simp one of his friends so they just protect themselves by being mean. Also to make you feel inferior so you will think they are worth your time. I garentee though if you walk up to one who's by himself they will totally want to help you.

I was skateboarding down a huge hill and well my skateboard started wobbling and I lunged forward and the first thing that slammed to the ground was my head. I was out cold and went to the hospital. I luckily had a helmet on and the nurse said if I hadn’t had one on, I’d crush my skull. I can’t remember anything about that day, that’s just what my mom told me. I only got a concussion, really bad black eye, and cuts all over my hands; arms; legs and face. Always wear a helmet.

Dang man, yesterday was my first time back on a board in 6 years, I went to the skate park to get my bearings again, hung around for a hour, looked like a complete moron, went skating down town this morning and it was like I never got off the board 6 years ago. It doesn’t matter what people think it’s about what makes ya happy

@@BigV42069 my 10 yo recently has gotten into skating.. I'm almost 40, and haven't been on a skateboard (I snowboard) since my early 20s... And I really couldn't skate that well then...

Emme Jo, put your kicking foot up first on the board, like walking, have your other foot to pump then when you are fast enough put both feet on the board and face them to the side, but when pushing put your kicking foot facing the front. Hope this helped!🙂

[@georgeguiney3454]

Tell me about it. Back when I used to race bmx, looped out learning a manual at a pump track, faceplanted into tarmac and nearly got concussed - if I had hit any harder, A&E would have been involved. And only recently, when I was mountain biking, hit a tree and guess what hit the tree first? My head. broke my helmet but not my head, hiked back to the car park, bought a new helmet and went back out. Would've been a trip to a hospital had I not worn a helmet.
