I find it really helpful! I started skateboarding very late in life at 57, so I need all the tips I can get. Progression for me lies in the smallest details, so I am happy when tutorials go into those to make me aware of what I need to do on the tiniest levels. Thank you!

[@w3dnesd4y57]

Haha, I know. I'm 45 and just started out too. I feel balance is hard for me while pushing. Feel like such an idiot when kids ask if they can borrow my board and then head off with it like it's the easiest thing in the world 🙄😀

[@triplenineteen9960]

@@w3dnesd4y57 well on the positive side I think it is nice for my skateboard to experience tricks when a kid borrowed it 🤣. Tricks I can't do. You have an IG I can follow your skateboard journey on? My G handle has the same name as here on YT.

I've been pushing and cruising for years, but only just got into tricks. Suddenly all my friends wanna learn too, so I'm going back to basics to help them too. Thanks for this video so much :)

[@Xaris192]

Thanks for the video man. I'm starting to skate and I've always been feeling my push is just "trying to not kill myself while awkwardly going forward". I'm gonna try to train a bit with my front leg like you recommended, maybe my board felling will improve a bit. I've been told by my friend I skate with that my balance is visibly shifted to the front; I think maybe it's connected to my "push" issue? If not, I'd love to watch your vid for begginer skaters about balancing your weight on board (it's a bit embarrassing to ask for such a trivial thing, but hey, you've got to learn it somewhere).

[@zebraneighbor6383]

This actually helped me a lot. I've been practicing skating and I've gotten fairly comfortable balancing on a moving board and I can turn left and right with my weight, but my push has been janky af. I've been doing that thing where I push too far back, like I reach my foot behind the board and so I'm not really getting much out of it.

[@Rose-kf8ez]

Just bought my first board and now I can push. Thankyou so much. God bless you

[@OfCourseICan]

Thanks I'm 69 and really been having trouble pushing. I am going to work on this. Thanks so much.

[@slowmoios]

How are you doing now sir?

[@JohnSmithson999]

This video works the same for learning to push Switch. I will say also for balancing on one leg is to do it over bumps, manholes and cracks to help for dexterity. Those bumpy dots for blind people at traffic crossings are really good for this also. Just skate back and forth over one of them for an hour and you'll master balancing on one foot. It's how I learned to push Switch!

[@djgeneticdisorder]

Another good tip is use soft wheels first to learn to push and nust cruise around, it helped me a lot, i came from mango pushing to regular pushing all because 78A wheels

have i skated for years? yes. am i gonna watch vlskate's video on how to push? absolutely.

Could you please make one on how to throw down your board properly? :(

[@Antonio_-rg6fb]

I don’t think that’s a good idea since depending how big you are you’ll eat shit and die. Just lay it down and push from there

[@xangel9721]

basically you run while holding your board in one hand while the tail is scraping against the ground and you lean forward. after you have ran like 2-4 steps you let go of the board and kinda jump on top of it. might be hard at first. you should be fine like 95% of the time. the other 5% you will just fall on your face cuz ya board went every direction there is

please disregard as a stupid question if it is, and it probably will be, but~ i’ve noticed in almost every video like this that i see, the left foot is dominant, right is push. i’ve always always always been right dominant, left push. is that weird or incorrect in some way? 😂

I'm watching this just in case. Maybe I'll get myself a 200$ board

[@newend2116]

I got my board last Christmas, its a Deathwish board but I got it prebuilt with little research and am kind of paying the price for it. The board is 8'38 inch, and im 5'2-5'4 with a size 7 shoe so its a little big for me. The trucks are too small, the wheels are in between cruising and tricks which hardness which is not ideal, and the whole thing overall was pretty cheap since it was 110 or 120 with them building it for me for 10 bucks (and a included skate tool). I would say do your research 100%, I recommend the Tactics youtube channel and go for it if you're confident man. Ask more experienced people if you can too. This next birthday I'm gonna splurge for about a 200 dollar setup 🙏

[@newend2116]

@Please don’t rimshot me yea man I was planning on getting a baker deck. And I'm gonna jump down to an 8 inch too, independent trucks, skate junt griptape, red bone bearings, 1/8 independant risers, and spitfire wheels is the dream setup.

This was really helpful!

[@Broccolini_yogini]

what part of my foot should I be pushing with? I've tried two ways: with the front half of the foot and the toes (so the foot bends at the toes, like in running) OR with the whole flat of the foot, more like in walking? The first way seem to get more power but it also gives me a lasting pain in the inner front part of my foot, the second way spreads out the pressure more evenly and hurts less. I'm not sure if the pain is from bad technique or because I'm a beginner and my feet are not used to the motions yet. Thanks for reading :)

I got my first board yesterday, and after only about 20-30 minutes of riding around my neighborhood I developed a nice blister on the bottom of my big toe, so I didn’t go out today. Is this normal for new skaters? Will my skin get tougher over time with consistent riding and not tear so easily? Or is it something wrong w my shoes, pushing method etc. I push with like the balls of my feet (shoes weren’t tied down super tight but they were snug)

[@Loki-pd3zj]

Blisters are pretty normal. I remember a few from when I started. You will develop tougher skin after a while. Try thicker socks and make sure there is little to no rubbing of your foot inside your shoe.
