Learning to Ride SWITCH on My Penny Board

[@CR24-proud]

When I started skating, I thought I was regular but found out I’m actually goofy. It turned out to be a plus because starting on my less dominant stance helped me get the hang of both stances and made switching between them easier

[@pennyboardtyler]

Nice! That’s honestly such a great skill to have 🤙🏼

Thank you for showing the raw side of learning new things on your board! Too often beginners like myself come across experienced riders on their board and get overwhelmed when we don't pick up the skill fast enough to look as cool or effortless as the experienced riders do, but we forget that even the most experienced riders started off just like us, the struggling beginners. Your transparency of your learning journey is a massive encouragement and assurance that I'm on the right track, and a reminder that it takes time to learn a new skill, here I was scratching my head off thinking why can't I do a kick turn yet when I'm barely 1 week into penny boarding!! 🫣 Tyler you're awesome, never stop making content please, I'm always so happy to watch your videos! ❤

[@pennyboardtyler]

Absolutely!! I’m glad you feel that way, and I appreciate you letting me know! I know it can be challenging at the beginning, and I’ve found it’s also so easy to compare to other people. The coolest thing is to focus in on your own progress and the little things you find yourself improving upon. Keep the fire going, and keep at it, Candy! 🤙🏼

It's crazy how making such a small change can make even the most experience skater feel like a beginner. I also ride goofy and I can barely stand on the board when trying to ride standard.

[@pennyboardtyler]

Yooooo yes!!

My dad and brothers always puts a penny board on their car for emergencies, and growing up with 4 brothers i grew up liking skateboards and is always my ride to school❤

Let’s go!! Super fun to hear 🤘🏼

Switch is always good for you. Rocco used to tell Mike Vallely to push switch for ten pushes just to get comfortable riding that way. Plus it helps when you have achilles tendinitis😢

[@pennyboardtyler]

oh no, I hope you didn't have achilles tendinitis!

[@bricemenaugh4828]

@@pennyboardtyler yeah... it's getting better

[@vicyuenp5534]

thx for sharing your journey. That helps a lot, please share more tips.

[@pennyboardtyler]

For sure! Thank you, and is there anything in particular you'd like help with?

[@vicyuenp5534]

@@pennyboardtyler first i'd like to thx you for replying my comment. Well, recently I had an accident, which caused my 2 ligaments torn (knee & ankle). Getting back to my penny getting even harder, I barely applied tricks learned from your vids, such as bail & run on the flat ground... In stead I equipped with knee & elbow pads, hope my leg heal sooner. :D But I always support your vids and channel. Have a nice day!

If you feel uncomfortable than maybe try to push mongo

[@pennyboardtyler]

This would be a good idea!

[@AndyAranda369]

I just need to learn how to go downhill and turn fluidly on slopes... With that, I'm 100% into pennyboarding...🤙🏻 🛹
