SKATEBOARDING FOR THE FIRST TIME *help*! Learning to skateboard tips (beginner skating vlog)

Wait you actually learn so quickly no joke, attempting an Ollie on the same day u learn how to push is insane

you think??? damn well I better keep practicing

It took Aaron Kyro like 6 months to get his first Ollie and he’s a sponsored pro skater now.

[@bosswoman5128]

I got my skateboard about 2 years ago but didn’t really get into it until recently, and I can do a halfway decent Ollie in the grass where the board doesn’t move at all. I’m working on doing it on pavement while standing still at the moment.

[@AudreyMayy]

Okay this was actually really impressive ! I've ordered a longboard and I'm so nervous to start cause everyone I watch is so amazing so it's cool to watch a new person at it

[@sophiel2036]

hey!! i have a longboard, and they're super fun and a lot easier to get the hang of so i definitely think it's a good place to start, but most longboards aren't skateable in the same way trick boards are because they're mainly made for cruising. my longboard is slightly longer than the average trick board and it's a completely different shape. it doesn't have a nose that sticks up, and the tail doesn't stick up as high, which means it's much harder to pop and get air, and difficult to flip once you move on to tougher tricks. longboards are also heavier than trick boards, and the wheels are larger and made of a slightly more malleable material (which is why they're more comfortable in my opinion). have fun longboarding, just remember they aren't made for the same thing! :)

[@HB-kx7gy]

@@sophiel2036 hi just a question, do you think cruisers or longboards are better for beginners?

[@supernovanebula]

@@HB-kx7gy hi I know it’s not the same person but I wanna try to help with your question. If your trying to start and get good balance I’d recommend longboards. They are wider and easier to balance on with bigger wheels. If you are trying to start doing tricks then buy a trick board from early on to get used to it. If you’re trying to cruise around a city area no tricks just fun then get a cruiser

[@ammarfawad]

Did you learn ollie now??

[@diviniyt]

@@ammarfawad I did however I took a long break so I completely forgot how to 😭

[@anzaeria]

You do have good balance. I think you did great with your first time on a skateboard. Though I don't recommend the ollie as a first trick. There are many easier tricks you can try beforehand. And don't forget to practise the carving turns where you put more weight on your toe side edge or heel side edge (alternating between the two.)

[@Awildmay202]

I was thinking the same thing

[@Kawaiicup118]

What are the easier tricks ?

[@anzaeria]

@@Kawaiicup118 One easy trick I highly recommend before trying ollies is rolling off a gutter with your front wheels raised. If you're on a sidewalk / footpath, approach the gutter at moderate speed. Just before you reach the edge, raise your front wheels so that only the back wheels roll off and land with all four wheels together. You could also try a Frontside Boneless. And there's kind of a similar trick where you stand holding the board with one hand. You could hold the toeside edge of your board or the nose (your choice.) Then jump into the air and position the board under your feet with your hand. Then let go and land. I recommend trying this on grass first. Later on, you could try on concrete. When you get more confident, you could try the jump off a gutter or bench, ledge etc. Have fun!

[@KaydenHaley-ep6rw]

I love carving turns and heelflips I recommend putting your feet higher than the screws

[@SofiesSpectrum]

"I didn't fall over I don't think" top quote from hegla today

[@HeglaYoutube]

Watch my skating update here :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIGqmHaMYrSbebM ALSO leave me suggestions of tricks I should learn :) INSTAGRAM FOR SKATING UPDATES: instagram.com/heglaaa/

[@bosswoman5128]

Yea to turn you lean in the direction you wanna turn, and you have to loosen the trucks (you’ll notice between the wheels on the axle thing there is a cylindrical thing that has a thing on it to loosen), and that way they move so you can turn (I had to watch a KZbin video to learn how to ride a skateboard). Also they recommend learning an Ollie first because it’s the basis for many other tricks (like a kick flip, pop shuv-it, nollie, etc.). Also, the jumping in the air thing might actually be a good technique to work on how your legs move (like I can do an Ollie with the pop and everything but my back leg never leaves the ground hardly so the board doesn’t go very high). So I might actually borrow that, thank you.

[@monksgamingchannel9332]

This is absolutely glorious! I just picked up a Skateboard for the first time, age 31. I feel the pain, no balance whatsoever and I'm also NOT a gymnast :P

[@siplt2946]

A tip is bend your knees

[@urhallucination1593]

i just got my board today, and one the things i envy sm abt u is that u have free space to actually learn skateboarding-

[@JonesYHF]

Wasn’t bad you know, problem is a lot of people don’t realise at this stage an ollie is the last thing you should be worrying about, you need to “become one” with just rolling around, pushing and feeling comfortable with being on the board, people often worry about what people think and honestly no one cares, skaters know how hard it is, they have all been through the same falls and scrapes, 99% of people give up quickly because it’s not easy and takes time, you can kick a ball, shoot a hoop as soon as you pick it up and see progression, all extreme sportsmen/women have the same traits, addictive personalities, a never give up attitude, and sometimes quite reclusive, we’re all the same and it creates a lot of very strong friendships, if you need help skating, go to your local skatepark and talk to people, might be the best thing you’ll ever do!

u did really good on skateboarding for only a few days, but some tips for doing an ollie, (lol i can’t fully do a big jump yet but these are the steps that helped me) so step down on the end of the skateboard, ( the one that has ur back foot on it ) slide ur foot up the board, ahah it might ruin the edges of ur shoes but still, and then jump. u have to do it basically all in one motion. idk if u will keep skateboarding or if it’s only for this video but good luck!

[@shockwaveyt4838]

i ride goofy but for edvice when u start have ur left foot in the middel of the bord and after u push have ur waight on your left foot and your right foot on the very back of the bord

[@tadantandadan9107]

Nah, every skater know this feeling...this is just kinda nostalgic for long time skaters. Plus yeah probably the most thing you'll learn while skateboarding is learning how to just ignore and sometimes embrace the Embarrassment, laugh with it, and just have fun while doing it then once in a while do some cool shit when you land a couple of tricks in a row or something you haven't done before.

Just practice your balance on the board. Without trying to move. Learn what your dominant leg is. When you run towards the skateboard which is the leg that is your instinct? Then learn to slowly push with your less dominant leg and learn how to shift your weight evenly to stay on the board. You'll get it!!! You're doing great!
