Pro tip for stopping: Make sure your foot is close to the board. Too far out and now it acts as an anchor cast too far out and you'll turn slightly.

*Update 14/2/24 Last week we took the dogs and a board on a 5km walk, where i was able to cruise (albiet slowly) around the lake. This was the longest periods of staying on the board I've had! Also, my 4yo can stand on the board, propel herself with her hands haha and lean forward and back to turn herself where she needs to go along a straight path. Perhaps I'llshare some videos and shoutout this tutorial! *Update - so far we can mostly cruise up and down the hallway. Next stop, to venture outside!* Thanks heaps for this video! I’m a 35yo mum of three. Always wanted a skateboard growing up, but it never happened. A few years ago I took up roller skating with my middle child. Now my 4yo and eldest want to learn to skateboard. I realised there was nothing stopping me from doing the same! Boards are on their way for Christmas. Can’t wait to learn together with the help of this video :)

I am 39 years old and have been extremely obese my entire life until the last year. I grew up watching Tony and the boys slay at the X Games and always wanted to learn how to do it myself.. My weight and physical condition always prevented it. Now that I’m down to a reasonable weight, I want to scratch Skateboarding off the bucket list. I just want to ride and turn properly. This video has given me the confidence to try it.. I went to Target, bought a board, made a few adjustments, and started pushing. Today was my first day and I was able to ride and push with confidence after an hour of practice.. I managed to check this off my bucket list and you are a big reason why. Thanks.

[@SaltySnallygaster]

turning 35 in a couple weeks - always wanted to learn to skateboard but my family was very against it. Picking up my first board next week and gonna finally do it. I lost 130 lbs over the last year from just getting out and doing stuff, so I'm still a hefty dude, but watching the vids has given me confidence and I think this can help a lot with me getting out and around the town more, too. If you got any tips for a big dude, let me know. I'll try to remember to post an update. Update: Have had a lot going on but still have practiced a few more times! I have a physical trainer who I work out with now and then and we both think I lost a lot of muscle mass in my knees and hips/back while I was really out of shape. Because of that, it's still REALLY hard for me to balance at all on the board. I've taken a few spills, can get both feet on now and then but mostly I kinda just shamble along with one leg on the board trying to push. I've started working out and doing squats with weights along with riding a bike I got (lmao i bought a bike so I could take my skateboard further out from the city to practice without as many people) and the bike has been helping a TON with rebuilding those muscles. So - it's still a work in progress. I haven't given up, I've taken some rough falls, I'm still alive and still not really doing great but not practicing a lot, too. And since I'm also trying to rebuild my health, it's just slow. Hopefully I'll have a better update, soon!

[@victoriaross9941]

While I absolutely love and appreciate that you're doing this series, did you ever explain A) how to tell tail v nose B) what is frontside/backside? (Ps I'm only half way through the vid now, so forgive me if you explain these later)

[@_Jay_Maker_]

So, no, he doesn't, but: A) Honestly, it really depends on your board. The "tail" usually has an obvious kicktail at the end of it, unless your board has two, in which case it doesn't matter which side is nose or tail. B) Frontside is when a rotation or turn is done so that the skater's front is facing the outside of the turn arc. Backside is when your back faces the outside of the turn arc. Regular and Goofy stances have opposite Frontside and Backside facings from eachother. If you're approaching an obstacle for a trick, then "Frontside" and "Backside" refer to which side your body approaches the obstacle from, i.e. the front of your body facing the obstacle approaches it vs. the back of your body approaching it. This is the definition that you'd _expect_ Frontside and Backside to have, but it's actually the opposite. lol

[@Mad7H]

@@dallaswiginton That's awesome! I'm still working on my tic tacs, crabwalk etc every time I'm going to skate. Starting to feel comfortable riding around. Trying to get the hang of shove-it and ollie and having loads of fun!

[@dallaswiginton]

@@Mad7H I hope I’ll get there. I took a few falls so now I’m just trying to overcome the fear of being on the board 😬

I'm a "comeback after 30 years" who is teaching his son how to ride and this is great man. Love the step-by-step really easy explanation.

[@beppolinaa]

Your video is just perfect! I am 37y and just ordered my first skateboard 😁😁 As a kid I didn´t feel comfortable on this thing... but with this video I feel prepared ^^ Thank you so much 💙💙

[@brailleskateboarding]

Awesome you got this! Join Braille Skateboarding Academy and Ill teach you everything

[@zackaryoutlaw1343]

I love your videos because I am learning how to skateboard because of your videos

[@gavingowans5440]

Just started skateboarding two weeks ago am 31 and love it 😊

[@venotriix7851]

Not gonna lie I'm 23 y/o and I was so scared of skating until I saw your videos. Just got my first board a day ago and started practicing right away after watching what to do. Making progress in getting more comfy with the board feels amazing!

[@DM-le8ux]

Only to let you know, I started to follow you and this series a couple weeks ago. After the first video I was able to ride my skateboard and I am getting really comfortable. Soon I’ll jump to the second video! Thank you so much for this wonderful boot camp

[@brailleskateboarding]

Awesome! Im building a school now. Braille Skateboarding Academy. Coming soon

[@termenzor]

Just got a skateboard for my (35th) birthday from my wife after not skateboarding since high school. I really appreciate this video and look forward to the rest of the series. Thank you for this.

[@bitchin.]

Look up Skate State, Prodigal Suns, and Eventhorizon40 for real skateboard videos.

[@ThePrinceOfDeath]

Same pretty much

[@stageiiwappie950]

Thank u so much for this series i just got back after 2 decades im 33yo now. And this helps me so much im so rusty im back to practising tictacs and crab walk. I could only do ollies back in the days. This videos will teach much better than back in the days when we didnt have videos like this.

[@rozbeef]

Just picked up a second hand board, about 20 years since I last got on one. This has been super helpful so far! Thank you.

[@jamesdsouza76]

Thank you so much. There's something special about the way you communicate your passion. It's inspiring. And after dealing with some big stuff in my life, reconnecting with skateboarding has reinvigorated me. Btw...in my mid forties. Getting back on the board after over twenty years...

[@Geooooooo-]

So, my parents bought me a skate for my birthday because i've been wanting one for like a year. I went with them to buy one that i liked, and i was crying because i was the happiest person in the world! I want a skate to learn something more than i know because i want a new hobby (i crochet, and go on bycicle), but i want something new!! So, my birthday is not yet (today: 17 december-> my birthday: 30 December This tutorial helped me so much on how to learn, i will inform you all! Tysm for the tutorial 💓

[@SYM-BIONIC]

I'm 17 and just I bought a skateboard not even a week ago with my own money. It has Ghost from CoD on the paint and it's fire! I've been practicing on my own with out any help and I've got over that initial fear of falling and have done some of those steps on my own already. I'm very proud of myself. However there is still a lot I need to learn as a beginner and this video has been incredibly helpful to me and the way it was explained was perfect too. It was cool to see how even after 13 years you still mess up a little bit but you never lose confidence and always catch yourself. It was very inspiring! Anyway I justed started school but I can't wait to practice these and see how much better I get. Thanks, a lot man!

[@kyo2383]

Man I’m glad I found this comment bc I cannot for the life of me get rid of my fear of falling. I fall and it feels fine, but when I go fast I get super freaked out. (I’m 19 btw) so how did you get over that fear? Just fall a lot?

[@SYM-BIONIC]

@@kyo2383 I've fallen more not being scared to fall then I did when I was (ironically enough). The best advice I can give you is to just go for it but start small. If you try and tackle going super fast without that balance and confidence you'll never get the hang of it. Of course it depends on how fast you want to go and what the texture of your street is like. I live on a concrete road so there's more resistance (looser trucks are better for that imo cuz you have more control). If you live on pavement I'd try tighter ones. Going fast definitely takes practice. I'd work on pushing and going down a small hill. I live on one so I can practice balancing that way. Overall you just have to go for it. Fallings inevitable when skating (even the pros do it) so don't be scared. I've already gotten 2 concussions and a couple scars so far but that's just part of the deal. If you wear some equipment and get back up you'll be fine. Hope that helped. P.S once you have your center of gravity on a board it helps a lot with roller and ice skating if you're into that. I've also learned longboards are better for people who just want to cruise and go on concrete as opposed to a board which is for tricks. It depends on what you want out of it. Maybe try that? Ik I'll definitely be getting one

[@Catz0t4]

Thank you so much for starting from the very beginning instead of going straight to tricks! This video is already helping so much,

[@brailleskateboarding]

Awesome! Glad it’s helping

I JUST GOT MY FIRST ROLLING BACKSIDE KICKTURN THIS IS SO COOL THANK YOU

[@Ht7jy]

That is one of the sickest decks I have ever seen 😮

[@jakesinclair7051]

29 Just started skateboarding today after watching this video religiously for a couple of days. I was able to get on the board and get moving in 20 minutes. Great teacher

[@craigturner3785]

Hey I flipping love you guys at braille man..I'm 54 from the uk..I'm no stranger to skateboarding...but haven't been on a trick deck in 40 years...but It all coming back to me all thanks to your vids 😊

[@piggydippin1428]

whoa so what you said about trucks being too tight can make the wheels come up when you turn just solved the problem I have been having!! I think things being broken down into even smaller steps is for sure going to help people, even if all they do is skate for 20 minutes it gives a clear plan on what to do. The unknown factor (plus pain lol) is certainly intimidating for beginners but I think the steps help address that

[@lemondedetr]

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS. As a solo, adult (skated in my teens, forgot all about it hahaha) who wishes to regain knowledge and learn some more, these videos are precious. Cannot thank you enough.

[@ryanstreuli9554]

This is the most laid back, chilled lesson

[@rosieroblox4311]

I watched so many videos before this not knowing how to do anything and watching a few minutes of this I’ve found my balance and haven’t flew across my garden again! I think this really helps begginers

[@brailleskateboarding]

That’s awesome

Im 27 starting skateboarding, been part of the community for years but this is my first time delving into riding.
