As a skateboarder of 10 years, I find this incredible. She learned all of that in just 30 days. When I first started skating, I would just ride my skateboard outside my house, every now and then without learning any tricks, for a whole year. I only got inspired to learn tricks when I moved to a different neighbourhood where there were two kids who skated as well, and they showed me how to do an ollie, Front 180 and then a heel flip. The Front 180 was actually easy to learn because whenever I'd try to Ollie, my board would turn at a 90 degree, so I decided to just make it turn 180 degrees. Once I had those 3 tricks I became addicted to skateboarding.

[@hyeronymus]

I thought you were 10

[@real_omega9511]

Nah, she didnt learn much in my opinion, 2 friends of mine and I just learned how to ride really fast and how to do a kickturn on a ramp in just one day...

[@randifinch9259]

I have the front 180 down pretty well and I’m still working in my Ollie height but I’ve been wanted to get into it and a friend of mine skates and he helps a lot with my confidence skating I just got an element board and I’m doing pretty well for a beginner.

The ollie was a huge surprise, at the start I judged her on her "overly girly" comments, thinking that's not the right attitude, but any sort of ollie in a month must've taken plenty of moments that weren't pretty enough for the video.

Heyy could you help me out in choosing a skateboard 🛹 i have no idea what to choose , I’m a beginner what length and width should I go with ?

[@Ireikes]

@@tomholland949 I'm also pretty new. 8 is a really good medium size, I have an 8.25 because i have size 13 men's shoes. Your trucks should be pretty easy just choose them to fit with your deck size, wheels should be 52 to 54 mm, bones and spitfire wheels are good. Bones reds bearings are kind of the standard, it's what I use too. Honestly, you could go with a 'prebuilt' board for your first, just make sure it's not a walmart board. It's not like pc building where the prebuilts are a ripoff. If you need more help, just go to a skate shop and they can help you select stuff as well as put it together. As for price, I spent about 140 for my first board, but you can go way cheaper. I just went a little high because I didnt need to buy trucks (I spent 100 actually) and because I was already good at Ollie's and shuvits.

[@KingSoap-fy1oq]

Anabelle Supreme my advice for men and women who are beginners who are having a hard time with the simplest of tricks is to buy a balance board (surfers use them alot to practice balance) u can literally practice ur balance while watching tv in ur room or in ur living room. its basically a board with a barrell attached to the bottom of the board at the center . the most important thing in skateboarding is balance. Another important thing is confidence and commitment, u will never land anything unless u let go of the fear and fully commit to what it is ur attempting if u fall u fall

[@mariogutierrez2965]

yooooo, not in a discouraging way, but really, I think its not best to hit up a skate park with the small amount of skill you have. It can sometimes make you feel like everybodys watching you and seeing people do crazy tricks can be a little discouraging (as seen in this video). Terrible for a beginner. Maybe just in your driveway, or your room, backyard or something. Also, it's better to get the basics down. Before doing an Ollie, it looks like shes still a little wonky on the board. She should get used to riding the board fast and loosen her trucks to get better with balance. Then tighten her trucks little by little to find her exact spot on the loose and tight spectrum. Basics cant be stressed enough. Regardless, its amazing to see a new skater. You learn a lot about yourself and life honestly. Just wanted to give some advice, since I had a lot of trouble when I first started. Keep on shredding 🌊🌊

[@Yurppppppppp]

Long Ballz Mariòiöìœ I see your point but it’s good to get in the park early. That being said, everyone should familiarize themselves with park etiquette beforehand.

[@Ghosted676]

Joanna Armas because it takes effort and patience and its not for everyone

[@mariogutierrez2965]

GamesAndSuch Well I aint no poser. And its suggestion yo, yeah some people skate loose others skate tight. But Im just saying it cuz I know a lot of people skated loose and slowly tightened them to find their right spot. I think starting a little more loose is just better sometimes cuz you learn with less control, once you tighten, you have more control on top of what youve already learned. And who cares about posers man, just skate and have fun. Loose trucks doesnt mean somebodys a poser, like you said, its all preference.

Mood, but I'm also very bad at it because I'm scared to fall But hey you have to fall if you want to get better

[@kqyla8145]

Watched it in slow motion, she deadass did an ollie first try

[@levi6241]

Kayla Tran eh it was a beginner oillie

[@bookmilla8616]

Great job! I'm 37 and just started learning how skateboard so I can spend more time with my 7 year old daughter outdoors. It's not easy and I've had a gnarly fall trying to go fast....but this has motivated me lots! Love your personality, will power and props to Rachelle for being a good teacher.

[@papsonabouem6700]

Beautiful personality!!!! I am 38 yo and started skateboarding 🛹 because my son(9yo) started and forced me to 😅. This video is really inspiring! Thanks a lot 🙏🏾.

[@cuteussoverlah6506]

who else cried tears if happiness when she did ger first ollie

[@076657]

Not men, I'll tell you that.

[@alltas8993]

passerell oh yea it’s so S E X I S T that men don’t cry it’s totally like men are not more emotional or just don’t care

[@Jonathan-ih9sm]

@@alltas8993 you have the wrong idea of sexism is lol

[@x3no841]

i hate snakeu I didn’t cry. I was happy for her though. Tbh you’d be kinda soft if you cried by that. 😂 no offense though

[@x3no841]

Allta s That’s not sexism or sexist at all.

[@taesmith5217]

i’m the only girl scateboarder my my school that i know of and i’m trying to get some girls to start skating. i would love to have some of my friends that are girls start skating :)💛

[@sophia0444]

Same no other girls at my school skate and most of the guys ride scooters :/

[@mikepiazza4872]

sophia 044 rip scooter boys 😂

[@HiHello-mq9dl]

Same, but most of them are posers

[@ukiy.0116]

Nah props to her determination but the way she fell at 9:30 made me choke on my juice 💀💀💀

[@xpscrackbabiezxxboi6696]

When you spam 9:30 she did a little manual

[@fayet8296]

I love that in skateboarding they are proud of falling. It makes you fell more motivated to try😊

[@agirardii]

10:01 omg i know this should be what everyone should do but I thought it was so nice of him to check if she was okay 👉👈

[@JojoMahomie]

Oh I'd never have attempted the Ollie in your flat bc the floor looks so slippery 😅

[@kjsmith8442]

I love her personally she is a hardworker but also know how to enjoy it.

[@Dexter2kx]

U actually did so good, most beginners are scared to go to the skate park cuz they think people gonn judge them but we don't care, most of the time the other skaters are pretty supportive

[@mar-rv2qb]

im 19 and just got my first board and this video is more helpful than literally every other one ive seen just because it makes me feel more supported as a woman and as a genuine beginner with no previous experience

[@OMGIGILY]

Oh hey its Rachelle. I used to follow her in instagram, i think that must be how she got famous and was able to start/be on skate kitchen whatever that is. Im so impressed by people who skate and post it and move up in skateboarding, they deserve all the best.

[@pepray]

Ok 1.) both of their outfits are amazing 2.) I love how your showing the process and how your saying what’s on your mind truthfully 3.) I honestly love how your comfortable or brace enough to even go to the skate park unlike me 🙁

[@dornachee]

Congratulations! My daughter and I learned to skateboard together three years ago! We just cruise around the streets, no tricks. So much fun! After watching your successful ollies, I am going to practice them now. Good on you, girl!

[@mxie383]

I love the simple explanation of how to ollie (especially starting in grass)

[@ahriannamacias7921]

ight hear me out on this. Them...as a couple. a concept (Edit) also, she needs different shoes for skating

[@fixtureofthesun]

cara i hear that using vans can hurt a lot. I dont skate so i dont know at all haha

[@FrozakRL]

okay yes but you have to get the right size and use thick socks suited for skating. You also have to let the shoe grow in on you but it does hurt your ankle if it is loose.

[@isa-st5jn]

Vans had a hard sole in the shoe so over time they hurt but you get used to it, vans are the best shoes to wear for skateboarding

[@mooominpapa]

Tbhhh I was shipping them 😂

[@addy7143]

I love your pfp

[@strawberrysockzzz]

I remember watching this video when I first started skating I love coming back to watch it every once in a while to remind me of happy memories and to realize how much I’ve grown 🌸

[@strawberrysockzzz]

Keep skating everyone :D 🎉🎉

[@aidenplaysgames432]

I ride goofy and it’s kinda cool to see someone ride regular

[@portablelizard6147]

Aiden Plays Games same

[@noahgraham-rosser6067]

Goofy all the way

[@2k10-c1e]

Same

[@driplord3844]

Aiden Plays Games i ride regular and i can ride goofy too, but i just find it so hard and unnatural to ride that way, kinda like using my right hand to write (i’m left handed)

[@privcraft_]

I ride goofy but I always thought I was riding regular so I was always like: " why is everybody riding regular"

[@the-megazine]

I have a total history of being a scaredy cat but now I'd love to try skateboarding! Go Alexandria!!

[@pizzaface4628]

You should do it! We need more girl skateboarders out there

[@wwkcd7657]

Go for it!!! Join the worldwide girl gang of girl skateboarders! 😊

[@amby-mo3vk]

Yes dude it's so fun

[@Daniel-lv4jw]

How it is going?

[@driplord3844]

GamesAndSuch i think it’s just because skateboarding is a sport that appeals to more guys then girls. Kinda like how makeup generally appeals to girls then guys- although there are guys who do it very good and enjoy it. I know more girl skaters then guys right now

[@bubbles-er5pr]

can’t believe rachelle’s straight 😭

[@maryjanehansen7947]

WHAT?

[@bubbles-er5pr]

Mary Jane Hansen she has boyfriend :( still happy for her their cute together

[@maryjanehansen7947]

Yeah I searched her up after I saw this comment and was so sad ;(

[@samuraichamploo585]

omg no.. my heart hurts

[@grashiela.v]

WAIT WHAT I REALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS ONE OF US :((

[@keribright7428]

This is SO good. It takes a lot of guts to learn to skateboard, let alone go out on your own to do it as a girl. So proud of Alex for sticking to it and giving it her best. The improvement is obvious!

[@rantallaboutit]

Not me dying inside when I realized Rachelle has a boyfran

[@gris2499]

Boyfran

[@meta__1564]

[@rocolas]

yo her voice is so nice to listen to, idk is that just me? she should be a voice actor 😊

[@sallyg8491]

she is so expressive!

[@DarbyAlleighaSite]

Almost cracked my skull, thank you for the helmet! 😂😂😂

[@kerakun]

i love to see more people skateboard!

[@shwing9760]

this video really motivated me to just go for it. ive been skating for almost 6 yeats now nd i still get intimidated nd anxious at skate parks, ecspecially being one of the only girls there half the time. thts why its always good to have a skate buddy, someone you can learn off of and pass energy to.

[@zakyiaclanton6877]

I’m a 13 year old girl and I’m a beginner at skating I just learned how to ollie and I’m excited it’s so weird to go to a skatepark and be a beginner and can’t do anything when there are a whole bunch of really good skaters but it’s something I really enjoy so I will keep practicing to get better

[@Noobmaster-tc7qb]

This is hands down one of the most positive and motivating thing I've seen as a beginner. YOU GO GIRLL! 🤙

[@mulani5992]

this girl is adorable! this definitely helped me gain motivation to go out and skate no matter who may see me fall God knows how many times. 😌

[@hafproctor3486]

I’m twelve and I’m getting a new skateboard soon, and this video inspired me so much!

[@theneighborskid5433]

Any updates??

[@lu8201]

I love Rachelle she's a expert skater. I love seeing Alexandria's progress. You go girl! Women skateboarders are the best.

[@mediabunny2845]

You went to the skate park by yourself the first time?! Girl you are a role model, I was literally so scared my first time. My first skateboard was under my bed for at least 2 weeks after I got it

[@skatergirl4360]

(does ollie) "oh" im laughing soo hard right now

[@jonkillings2747]

She forgot to tell her to use her arms when kick turning, it makes it a lot easier when you use your arms to balance and turn.

[@mhousiaux3723]

Yeah

[@jiji008]

And you shoulders

[@thecaandkz1210]

Am 10 and am learning how to skate and It’s harder then it looks but am still won’t give up

[@saraha451]

Just keep skating and you’ll be amazing

[@noahverhoeven2047]

Nah it isn't

[@librapotato1414]

Adelaide S.Villela same I already longboard but I wanna skate too so

[@driplord3844]

Libra Potato i just started skating after longboarding for about two years on a pintail. It’s pretty similar, but turns are a lot smaller and the board is a bit less stable. I found that I enjoy cruising on my skateboard more than my longboard now. The trick is to just cruise a lot and then the tricks will come easier :)

[@x3no841]

Adelaide S.Villela I’m 11 and have been skating for 3 days and can’t do an Ollie. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@HisBeverness]

This was the pure spirit of skateboarding right here. I hope you're still at it. It will only become more and more fun.

[@thatweirdo5048]

I found it so adorable when she did a kick turn and everyone cheered her on. I wish my skatepark was like that

[@kelseyyeoman2062]

i’m a beginner and it’s so scary. i love skating and the skating community but the people who judge and laugh make me feel horrible :(

[@chokeonwasabi]

You shouldn't care what others have to say about you, with that mentality you will never be happy.

[@Eren-tg5yw]

Iam trying to learn how to skateboard in Quarantine an I learned a lot of this video 😊

[@T1mmysD4D]

“Trust your body” Me: *trusts my body that I’m not breaking a bone and end up breaking all of them*

[@jaconholtz1882]

She makes me so happy omg

[@alidohorizonte]

What an inspiring video, loved it! I came here because I'm 36 y.o. and learning to skate right now (just waiting my longboard to arrive). All I can say is that Alexandria's story inspired me. Thanks for that!
