YOO THATS ME!! thanks for being super chill I appreciate all the tips

[@rickyglaser]

Glad you like the video! Reach out if you ever need something skateboarding related, all the best :)

Why is there only one reply to this comment?

[@SNIPEZONE23]

Following her channel now, thanks Rikki

It's as hard to learn as a musical instrument, only every time you mess up you get a little hurt.

[@eytanjinich3740]

That’s what I tell my students.when you try this scale, if you fail at least you won’t fall down a 5 stair

[@SabiaCDO]

She's a natural. Fingers crossed that she keeps on skateboarding.

[@TimZoet]

I'm documenting my start as a skateboarder on YT as well, and the hardest thing about skateboarding is mostly seeing how smooth experienced skaters and their tricks are, and just accepting you're still at the foot of the mountain. Gotta learn how to walk before you run

[@rickyglaser]

Sounds good!

[@martinzemek5798]

Don't worry, you'll get there eventually if you stick with it. But I know what you mean. I had the same feeling when I was getting into it for the first time. It's even worse now though because I stopped skating for several years so I can do only basic tricks and not even every try. It's frustrating when I know how much better I was at one point and I can't just get it all back instantly. Just yesterday I was at skatepark, most people there were killing it and I almost couldn't even kickflip on flat ground 🙄

[@Kingsenq]

Im gonna Watch it and sub i love those types of videoes

[@Dawwwg]

I love she's seriously trying to skate proper and not just look cool; learning to skate is great character building too ..

[@BONELESS_SHAY]

Been skating for 2 years now and I'm constantly seeing new skaters skate around our town, me and the boys love helping them out, it's amazing to see alot more people skating and sharing our love for this beautiful sport 😎

[@CallMeCheesy3]

Ay bro , everyone starting to skate, I saw like a lil group of teens with boards today I got so excited hahah I think I scared them off tho looking like a gorilla across the road pumping my skateboard in the air 😂😂

[@BONELESS_SHAY]

@@CallMeCheesy3 hahaha, it generally makes me smile... Imma start pumping my board in the air at them 😎🕺

[@ryanrowe1975]

Skating at the highest level of switching to a Ollie and making the adjustment of a similar style to a Andrew Reynolds style

[@ncrrangerrolandtembo4615]

Ricky u got me back into skateboarding love from North Carolina ❤

[@owenclark9343]

This was actually a really great video! Love the reactions to these sorts of videos

[@BriansRepublic]

Great Video. I just picked up Skate boarding again... looking forward to learning again. Skateboarding was my mode of transportation when I was younger aside from the Bus!

[@johndoeyedoe]

No comply impossible. 😍😍😍😍 Such a fan trick.

[@colewrege9169]

I’m just learning to skate thank you so much

[@JakeyBaby0]

As long as you keep getting on the board, despite your fear of how you get on the board and the anxiety of the culture around that, is a big win. She ended up actually having fun even though it was a "content" challenge. You land your first ollie and the hype becomes very very real.

[@neonblack211]

Way better than the other tiktokers she actually took it seriously and approached it from the right place (the fundamentals)

[@EffectiveImmediately]

The laugh! You crack me up Rick! 😂

[@roberthartmann782]

I wish I could get a park near me in dover-foxcroft Maine so my 48 oldfart @$$ could get back into it... I have to travel to few hours away to get to a park.. but I wanted to teach my younger kids or at least try to teach them how to . I have 2 adults kids from my first ex wife and 3 little kids with my 3rd ex wife that I got custody of our kids.. I have like over 100 skateboards from original 80s and 90s wide boards and few popsicle boards and some reissue and bootleg boards. But I collect

[@Brandon-bl8ko]

can still do a lot on flat ground? maybe build a small quarter, get a few rails, maybe a box, we set this stuff up on our street/sidewalk all the time when we were younger and didnt have cars to get to parks

[@Magic_sk8board_media]

Shes real... It's interesting...Much like your non-sk8ting content. Keep it up and heal faster!

[@demobros6275]

Nice video

[@rickyglaser]

thanks!

[@granth4561]

a few hours? I love the commitment

[@JamesOrthodoxOfficial]

Yo do you think will she still keep on skating in the future or its just a one time thing for her

[@mclovinit8639]

I hate that is skaters have such a bad stigma. 99.9% of us really enjoy helping new skaters. I realize they look at us doing it our entire lives and think it is easy. Then they try it. I will stop my session to coach a noob anytime. I end up doing what I want in between and make someone feel confident and comfortable. I really hope they progress and have as much fun as we have trained our bodies to do also.

[@rickyglaser]

How did your first time skateboarding go?

[@tankanstein5125]

only slammed once my first day so not too bad, coming up on a month now

[@andrewpegg]

Every day feels like the first time. It's always worth it.

[@EchoTheAiAndMe]

My blue swollen ankle says not so good😂

[@RaxGab]

First days are going okay for now 🎉

[@EmzMakeupSkateDrum]

Uhh I’d rather not say but I’m CRAP at it my best thing I can do is a kick turn

[@himebaughchris4026]

Those ABEC 3's have brakes.

[@xjaredx11]

My advice as a beginner is to just keep skating and go at your own pace.

[@sematmkmrong2912]

Big fan Ricky

[@rickyglaser]

Thanks!

[@edvolley825]

How appropriate to have UK representative in honour of King Charles lll's Coronation.

[@gnarlywagner8171]

Choke brit.

[@JilliansNL]

as someone who's starting tomorrow, what the fuck is the right side? haha

[@rickyglaser]

Haha sick! You need to find if youre regular or goofy (aka which foot forward) but what im referring to is how she jumps on the board. You want to be on the side with your heels closest to the board

[@Brandon-bl8ko]

3:15 one footed one wheel manual? hahaha

[@EchoTheAiAndMe]

I uploaded a similar video, although it ended pretty badly with a lot of frustration, would be cool to hear your thoughts on it.

[@Anime-life.]

Broooo I been skating like half year an before like month I land my first kikflip and... this is harder then I expected but really fun. (Pls react)

[@rickyglaser]

Keep it up

[@qotsa1234]

You should take a look at mike boyds video learn how to kickflip if you havent already.

[@rickyglaser]

Yeah hes great! I reacted to it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5e4Z5aClLl2bq8

[@qotsa1234]

Had doubts you already made a video about him, will check it out!

[@howardb.6205]

the kids next door and I will skate the ramp and they get upset that they have to learn how to skate while this old man makes it look fun and easy

[@experienceanimation217]

Im 32 and just starting 😂

[@imezstreety33t28]

I'll be 32 in September and I'm getting my 1st board in like 13 years cause I learned I pushed mongo and that's not right lmao😂 I'm also 340 pounds and I lost 45 pounds already. 120 more and I'm gonna learn to Ollie and kick flip lol until then I'm gonna get comfortable on my board

[@imezstreety33t28]

Have fun and stay safe on your skateboard journey my friend

[@himebaughchris4026]

Y'all catch the Back To The Future Easter Egg?

[@razz2135]

she needs to get skate shoes

shes so hard on herself😢

[@Just_SK8]

I have a challenge for her. Skateboard for 10 months without 10kg of make-up and cameras filming every emotion. And do it because you want to Skateboard. Not for social media attention

[@mannyserrano5552]

Naw rikki. Dont ruin your content with this junk..... she isnt actually setious about it.

[@rickyglaser]

Thx for the feedback, what type of vids are you interested in?

[@mannyserrano5552]

@@rickyglaser stuff like you did at the berrics. And also adventure vids like that one lawless land vid. Was epic man. Anything where you're having fun. And also shredding! Take care man. Many blessings to you and yours. Happy late birthday to your g'ma!

Okay last year I got into skateboarding it was frightening and scary cuz only thing ever rode is Scooter 🛴 and bike 🚲 when I was in California like maybe 2012 or 2013-14-15 but it was totally something I was trying to tic-tac-and sprain my ankle and mom had to take care of me for weeks but I got back into it like weeks ago I think was on a Sunday but I should get back into everyday I love enjoying it riding just for what it truly means and when I get great in a year definitely getting my own board. Btw using my lil brother board he was great at it back in California never rode it again since.
