Thank you so much! Just bought my first cruiser, never stepped on a skateboard before. Had to sit on a sidewalk and watch this video because I just could not get home on my own😂

[@tarunaravind1400]

Bruh! Literally doing this 😂

[@rektspresso7288]

Dude same. I moved to a city with a great amount of areas to bike, skate, etc. and I thought a cruiser would be fun. I'm glad I looked up a video because I was standing on the board completely wrong lmao

Good job dude u got this

[@madeofcastiron]

i’m 25 and i decided i’ve had enough of my cruiser board just being decoration, so after i got a full set of protection gear, i went to my nearest park and got to riding. and i just wanna say that your 3rd tip about needing confidence is so true. somehow the slower i went, i kept tripping and stopping, but the moment i just went for it, i finally managed to turn my front foot sideways and even managed to turn it back to pointing forward to gain speed. thanks for this video man

I'm over 30 and I just started today, bought Landyachtz cruiser. I was so afraid I won't be able to do it, but it's actually much better than I expected! Can't turn the front foot sideways yet, but overall, the first experience was okay. I didn't injure myself, so that's nice. 😁 I will probably struggle with confidence tho.

[@manscapedgrinch1427]

You got this!

[@dannyamado92]

Me too! Got a cruiser board for my Birthday!

[@MrDudman_]

Man I'm 30 too and I'm about to get one.... Used to skate loads when I was younger so hopefully it all comes back 😂

[@dustingreentree5592]

Almost 40 started last year to help my daughter learn been a blast

[@dejahvuh5201]

One thing that helped me push better and feel more comfortable was to put my weight towards the ball of my front foot. I found that whenever I would put weight on the heel of my foot when pushing, the board would launch forward causing me to lose balance.

[@jessicagarland4167]

I was already riding a cruiser before watching this video however since watching this I have definitely improved, confidence was my weakness and now my confidence has got better and it more easier and enjoyable to skate

[@porciattichiara167]

Maybe the best explanation for beginners ever! Very clear and practical! Thanks a lot!

[@thesoupiestsoupster9019]

i love how direct this tutorial is, you’re a lifesaver

[@zoeyrichards7720]

When you hit those big cracks on the cruiser you literally go flyinggg😭 it happened to me three times in a row and Ik how to skate pretty well

[@OgdenSikel]

Yeah I’ve had my fair share of being yeeted into the air 😔

[@kolleghessig]

what I've learned is that should you have to get over a crack, always do it diagonally. It might sound counterintuitive, but it works. never go straight, make sure that your rolls hit the crack one after another, that way the board can absorb the bump :)

[@ilikechippies2551]

lmao you literally have soft as wheels on my trick board with hard wheels you literally die

[@mada881010789]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I have watched several videos about cruiser and longboard tonight and yours helped me made the decision because of your clear demo on the road condition.

[@maccasmar]

this was hella helpful mate, I bought a cruiser just last week, and panicked when I rode over the gaps in the pavement (it sped up like mad). I'll keep the bent knees tip in mind for when I next go through a similar hell of a trek

Wow, I just watched two of your videos and I'm already a fan. I really like your way of explaining and your energy. I'm kinda a beginner and don't know with which board to start, cruiser board or longboard. You just said cruiser boards are more difficult... Were you talking about those mini cruisers or what is razoable size?

[@krispyk.1786]

Mini cruisers can be tricky- if you get a normal (skateboard size) cruiser board it’s a really smooth experience from my time with mine

[@Chase1297]

I skated as a kid. Now my kids are learning!

[@natew9617]

[@krishnan-resurrection714]

Hope youre still upright ....have been riding my cruiser for about 3 month now on gnarly streets ...and surprisingly have not fell down yet ....

[@Mo-gt8fh]

Great video dude! Just got a dinghy turbo and really need to work on riding on one foot. Like rn I have to rush my pushes before I begin to lose my balance - maybe tightening the trucks will help? Could you do a vid on how to ollie a cruiser board because I'm finding it difficult to get a good pop?

[@OgdenSikel]

Yeah definitely work on that balance for sure! Tightening the trucks…can help…to an extent? But over tightening them generally isn’t the best idea and it’s always better to learn on a looser board if possible cuz it makes you a better skater usually in the end…up to you though, really whatever is most comfortable for you is the best option. Good luck!

[@brutisdorff1944]

I got my cruiser board one week ago I got it instead of a long board bc of the nose and tail I have gotten to ride for hours but I’ve road for like 45mins to about 1hour and 15mins. I had to get a big cruiser bc I’m really tall and I have big feet so I got a 10 by I think 38 or a 39

[@BlaccMonke]

Thx you I’m thinking of getting a cruiser board for Christmas off Amazon I thought I wanted a longboard but the loook easy to break

[@tsijr915]

Don't buy from Amazon. Find a reputable Skate site to buy from.

Thanks so much!!!

[@ecole_de_surf_pondy1990]

[@carmelogarcia3175]

I haven’t rode a skateboard in 5 years , bought a cruiser cause my dog love to run and can’t keep up no more , but going to learn on my own for about two months then go for it with him what you think 🤔? Great vid by the way

[@rase4686]

THANK YOU

[@benjdewantara]

Nice video and helpful tips! Although, I would argue that front foot parallel to the board and perpendicular to back foot is for balance and stability when trying to move straight ahead. In fact, one should try to make both their feet as parallel to the board as they can if they want balance and stability. This is why downhill longboarders position their feet like that. Both feet being perpendicular to the board is for maneuverability, i.e. turning left and right. This is nice for low to medium speed cruising around. But if I suddenly get to a downhill path, no matter how small it is, I will definitely position my front foot parallel to the board for balance

[@OgdenSikel]

For beginners who don’t have a masterful control of a board, that is not a good idea. Beginners need to feel confident and somewhat safe when learning to ride, and a perpendicular stance is the easiest way to control that maneuverability. If feet are parallel and a beginner gets a wobble or unexpected turn, it’s over. Also keep in mind that beginners are likely not going from zero experience to instant downhill bombs

[@dick-diddling-bandit]

2:13 dat notification doh.

The best thing about growing up prior to KZbin and social media… when we went through embarrassing phases and bad hair styles… it wasn’t online to forever be seen by the world. Our bad hair decisions stayed in the past 😂😂

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

I used to make that front foot mistake as a kid but luckily i had a scooter and naturally did it with that so eventually I was able to do that

I used a skateboard before I git my cruiser it is actually really easy to change

I just started skating about 3weeks ago and I have really gotten the hang of it and I want to know if I can do kickflips and Ollie’s on my cruiser board, I have been trying but it feels like my board has too much grip on it. Can I get some advice?

[@Thebirdemoji]

Is it a good Idea to turn my trucks around to make it more stable just like on a longboard like those reverse kingpin trucks but with my own trucks

[@lendrachopis5328]

Nice tutorial

Got a board from Walmart might get on it later

[@lettucemuncher582]

That discord notification sound got me checking

[@rotenbart940]

Hey hello! What wheels did you install on your board?

[@summerJ1114]

What is a good skateboard for beginners bc I had a skateboard kinda like the cruiser but I have never ride it before and I want to start skateboarding again

[@Moneysignteve]

What if you start with your right foot then switch to left foot in front when you get both feet on the board?

[@chip9832]

💯

[@greyv3349]

If you hurdle with your left leg in front but kick a ball with your right, then put your right leg forward

[@aussenbords4984]

My cruiser arrived today. I am 43. Wish me luck 🙏

[@monotone6168]

for me i when im skating i dont move my front foot to the side and just keep it straight and its still perfectly fine for me turning
