Nice video! I have been skating for over 20 years now. Here's a few tips that might help you. 1. Tighten up your trucks. Yours look a bit loose for a beginner. As you get better, you'll naturally loosen them up. 2. Expect to fall, a lot. Even the best skaters fall all the time. 3. Master the fundamentals. e.g. Have a solid ollie on flat ground before you start learning flip tricks. There's no rush. Skateboarding is a marathon, not a sprint. 4. HAVE FUN! Don't get mad or frustrated when you can't land a trick. You'll get it eventually.

You could be a drive way skater for a bit and when you get good enough you can teach your friends how to skate. I taught my friends how to skate and now all 3 of us skate together, I’m still a bit better than them so they can’t really teach me but it’s still fun!

When you try to ollie the way I learned was to slide your front foot up and roll your ankle just a little bit I think it still works without rolling it and remember to bend your knees before doing a trick or dropping in just to get momentum and not to fall off the sk8 board if you notice when you don't bend your knees it feels and looks stiff hope this helps!😃💜

Hi Indian here watching your video in 2022 before I start to practice skating i watched your video and trust me it really helped me out Thankuuu so much dear ♥️

[@Kamorasaki_32]

I love seeing that you are setting up your own board up! Its good to learn what everything is and what it does from the start! I do have a little advice for you. Always always cut away from your hand and yourself when trimming off access grip tape the best you can!! One slip with that razor blade and it will open you up faster then a 10 yr old opens presents on christmas morning lol Jokes aside, Razors do a lot of damage with a little effort. So, Please be safe!! As far as your skating goes, great flippin job! Try and focus on simply skating around getting GOOD at mobility and getting comfortable on your board, this will build a solid foundation and make learning new tricks 100x easier! Keep working on balance and getting on an off your board. Don't get too caught up in worrying about learning dropping in and ollie right off the bat. First put majority of your effort into learning to push an pump around the park and the streets! Get those basics down and everything else will fall into place the more you skate! This might sound counterproductive but also learning how to properly fall is so important!! There is an art to falling and learning how to do it will save you from getting hurt a huge portion of the time. Great vid Wind! I will sub to watch your progress! Keep it up
