[@marco77ar]

As an old person, skate in both your natural and your switch stance from the very beginning. Also get comfortable skating with just your front foot, whether regular or switch..... This will help you push, over sketchy ground, make it way easier to bail from your board. ..... But skate in both stances..... This will save you so much time later.

[@ev-sb]

I agree, i’m so glad i watched videos that gave that tip just before i started :)

[@FirinMahLazer1]

Thanks for the tip. 32 and starting out I hadn't considered this

[@Xippone2093]

I can’t. I’m right handed and right footed I guess too. I can’t balance switch or fake at all I can Ollie and shuv it but I can’t fucking roll up and down a ramp without falling off

[@Pritah]

​​@@Xippone2093 thinking that you "can't do it" makes things much harder than they need to. With proper progression you can do anything at your own pace. Something that sounds stupid but really works to come down to fakie, is to turn your head 180° when you are at the top. Also you can try pushing mongo to get on the board going backwards and gain a little speed.

[@stageiiwappie950]

I cant push and ride switch, but fakie much much much better

[@Bored_Zomb]

This is the holy grail of beginner skaying videos. Thank you so much

[@alvarquiet1784]

Just got my first skateboard a couple days ago so this is useful, wish me luck wit the progress

[@dormi9745]

I don’t know if you’ll read this but THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!! I went to the skate park for the first time today and I thought skating a ramp would be easy, i feel 3 times in a row and i started raining. It’s very different to flat which is what I’ve been doing for the whole time I’ve skated, THANK YOU!!! You’re actually the KZbin that motivated me to skate!!!

[@eliseolara5055]

This is the first time I’ve been too “advanced” for one of these videos

Watching skating ramp tutorials did more justice than I ever imagined-More so than trick videos. Thanks to he and others I've began braving Ramps with success. I wanna particularly point out how much I recall from tutorials that I'm able to apply that truly help. Whoop!

[@yuxiwang2005]

i dont sk8 transition but i still watch my man VLskate cause he a legend. The best out there.

[@huntrr8321]

Because of this dude, I now have a ramp in my backyard

[@arjb5060]

Can I just say how much I appreciate you. I love watching your videos and find them really helpfull and when I'm not feeling motivated to skate I watch one of you vids and I have the need to

i started picking back up learning how to skate to impress this hot dude, thank you

[@noobality777]

Finally going back to skating and I'm trying to get to the real basics, since when I started, I went from learning to how to even stand on one to trying to do an ollie. I never really tried to do anything else because I was too excited about my first board. Really big help and I'm pumped to get back to the skate park.

[@RodneySloan]

Good tip I got: look where you're going. So, when you're coming back down, you're looking away from the ramp.

[@randomcollegeboy9525]

This was what changed my game.

[@harleymenzies6464]

Hey man love your vid's, got me really into skating a couple years ago and now I can skate vert. Keep up the good work!

[@upsidedowncrabbucket]

You’re so endearing. I love your sense of humor, actually falling on video forward and backward for the example. I’m about to go on my first ramp - thank you for the mini prep! Looking forward to busting my ass again and again til I get it down 🙌🏼

[@hooman4835]

i just got most of this down, but i’m sure this helps all the beginner transition skaters out there :)

[@cowlemin8613]

I really wish my skatepark had a mini ramp

[@sarunasjadzgevicius3633]

2 years ive been skating flat and just 2 days ago was the first time i rolled down a 3m ramp, wich was the smallest where i live and just yesterday i learned it consistently, then i find this video 2021-08-01

[@banana.peel_thegamer7966]

Thank you I’m a new skater and I really enjoyed this tutorial your tutorials are always helpful so thank you so much!

[@That_Wise_Sage_]

Thank you for this video, it’s really hard for me to build up courage to do this, since I hurt my wrist skating up a ramp wrong and it’s hard to try it again.

[@ThatOneLegoshiCoser3209]

I just went to a skate park for a first time, things really changed my perspective since i was used to street skating 🔥 🙏

[@greendarcnite]

Just in time!! Started hitting ramps recently

This little backyard skatepark is awesome

[@mkodark771]

He's back lets go

[@hotpinkfryingpan]

Okay, pumping is a weird thing to explain. You think of your crouching and uncrouching as a jump instead of as independent movements. At the bottom of the ramp, you want to "jump" to the top of the ramp. This is so you lose less speed going up the ramp, and thus gain more going back down. When you're at the top of the ramp (the peak of your height) you "jump" down the ramp to accelerate rapidly. As you "land", you push off the ramp in order to build even more speed. This is the force VLSkate mentions. It's also a weird thing because sometimes it's beneficial to pump earlier or later depending on your trick. A later pump might make you flyout the ramp higher, which is one of my favorite tricks. An earlier pump might have you land squarely on the coping, good for stalls. Just play with it a bit once you get the basic concept.

[@hotpinkfryingpan]

I don't mean to say the video is bad, it's just that explaining pumping to someone who is just learning to roll up ramps is difficult, especially because unlike a kickflip where you see what's happening wrong when the board flips a certain way, bad pumping still looks like skating. Good work as always

Welcome back!!!!

Babe wake up new VL video

[@chriskunce3331]

That’s looks like the perfect size ramp to start with. Can you give dimensions if we want to build our own? Height, width, flat, transition radius?

[@fearlessfallon15]

Hey! I'm a new skateboarder, and I just got some protective gear today and found your channel! It's really helping out, definitely gonna try some new tricks today!

Hey sup, did you eat some concrete?

@@enzotruko why do you say that? I don't recall saying anything stupid in my comment.

[@Exertvr]

To all beginners if you go to the skate park ask someone who has a bigger board then you if you can try their board. This is my second day of skating I tried a bigger board and it worked much better

[@user-jk3jz4yv9i]

this made me want to start (trying to) skate again

[@DunkelBrauer]

Just do it. I restarted at 44 ;-)

The whole thing on a “don’t find a too big of a ramp” can I use a bowl that’s not that tall because in my city it’s vert ramps

what is the best is it kik sooter or skatebord

I want to do skateboarding badly but my parents aren't buying me one skateboard because they think it is a toy which children play and it is also quiet expensive

[@D3AD_FOX]

When doing an ollie or any kind of trick, is it bad to look down at your board when rolling towards an obstacle? If you get what I mean

[@nottimo7114]

@VLSkate I want to start skating so are there any boards, trucks, grips, wheels, or anything in general that you recommend or use?

[@abbievideos]

Does anyone have any ideas on where to find ramps or surfaces shaped like that outside of skateparks? There's only a few skateparks in my area, most don't have ramps that size and they are extremely crowded. I normally skate in parking decks, which replicates one side of the ramp, but not the other. comment if you have any suggestions

[@iaganfoss]

Not a beginner on ramps, but i clicked just in case 🤷‍♂️

[@thebusterandwingieshow1660]

Can you do a nollie heelflip tutorial?

I can roll fakie OKish but cant pump, i practised 2 sessions of a couple hours. Is it just me or is pumping a bit hard to learn?

How do you get the confidence to skate in public? I just started and I feel like everyone else is so much better than me and I feel like an idiot :(

[@lukas_mm_9994]

Sounds obvious, it worked for me though. Worry about yourself and don’t overthink everything you do, once you realize no one really judges you, you’ll have more confidence to focus on yourself and try not to compare yourself to others, everyone progresses at a different pace

[@JonathanGonzalez-oj1re]

How do you follow up with your backfoot after an ollie i cant. ;(

[@jamesjacox1761]

Dropping in is now a little scarier than before because today I hit my face really hard trying to drop in

It’s funny because I’ve been skating for a year and I haven’t even bothered to drop in. I do know how to rock to fakie and just pumping.
