Skateboarding Lessons: HOW TO CARVE & TURN on a Skateboard in Pools, Bowls, Transitions, Skate Parks

[@ramentaco9179]

Carving is the most fun that I’ve ever had on a skateboard. When you get it just right it’s such an amazing feeling

[@SkateparkLessons]

💙🛹🙌🏽🛹💙

[@PauloBerni699]

Like being on an amusement park ride!

[@Boardrider3x1]

That's why I want to learn it. We now have a nice little new bowl in town and I hope this carving will give me that surf feeling while living faaar away from the ocean and surfing...

[@ismaelgarcia7292]

It really is man!!! All I can do is just carve the skatepark rn lol I can barely even Ollie. But when I ride in, I love to hit those ramps so fast and get a nice carve. My inspo is the 70s skate scene. Whenever I get high and just barely make it the expression “ride it like a wave” just pops into my head lol

[@animalfinatic9366]

Right!!!

[@michaeljohn8905]

I’ve street skated all my life. The last 12 off the board due to knee surgery’s. In my days we only had mini ramps and launch ramps steps and maybe if we were lucky and lived near a skatepark we could go to that. I wasn’t so lucky but I’ll say this I picked my board at 50 after 12 years off it and I’m just having more fun watching these videos and then going to the skateparks that are many in the Atlanta area . I could Ollie garbage cans when I was young but Learning to carve and pump throughout the park and learn lines is way more fun at my age . Skateboarding has saved me again. Thanks for making these videos guys/girls.

[@SkateparkLessons]

Cheers Michael! 🛹🙏🏽🛹

All those powerslide variations on the vert wall were awesome! 💕👏👍 Never seen all those. Thanks JB 🤙

[@JonnyDIY]

PS- think I need loosen my trucks more was having the damndest time getting a full carve in without having to kick turn a little at the end, but the bowls at the park are a bit tight to be able to come in at more of an angle

[@SkateparkLessons]

Yes loosen your trucks little by little as you gain confidence and control of them

I skated my first pool today and it was a lot of fun. I didn't even go that high. I like how he shows how the ball uses the line. I am definitely going to use these tips, loosen my trucks and try my cruiser board next time as the wheels are larger and the board is bigger than my skateboard.

Thx, the low center of gravity piece is what I am missing as I always either run out of juice on the FS and run out, or have to lick turn out on BS. I guess I need to bend the knees more. 🤜🛹🔥

Exactly! Keep stretching so you can get a deeper bend in the knees for a lower center of gravity and more acceleration out of your carve and pump. 💙🛹💙

[@viento99]

2:39 - Awesome slide. What kind of wheels were used to allow the slide? What kinds of wheels could prevent slides from happening and grip better for faster/tighter bowl carves? Riding an 18" hybrid with reverse kingpin trucks, so I could try larger, grippy downhill wheels unless there's a threshold we typically shouldn't cross.

[@SkateparkLessons]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I was skating on really hard wheels in this video. You can slide on grippy wheels but it is usually more challenging. Watch my Powerslide video to learn more about slides. The main factor for wheels is doing research to buy quality urethane. For longboards I typically use orangatang and for skateboards I now use Bones SPF or STF.

@@SkateparkLessonsyes! While I was practicing switch carving on flat I noticed something important: how close your foot is to the center of your tail. For some reason, the closer your back foot is to the center of your tail, it becomes easier to balance when it comes to your front foot being close(r) to the front two bolts.

Get a surfskate if you really want to know what intense carving feels like. I can't describe it, but its so much more radical that you can do on a skate board because of its mechanics.. (Caution, very very wobbly since it is super super lose)

[@SkateparkLessons]

Surf skate can set a limit to your skateboarding tricks, use a normal board and just loosen the trucks as much as you need. Not exactly a surf skate but I made this video on a regular board which allows me to still skate anything I want and not only carves. 💙🛹💙

@@SkateparkLessons Thank you. Great video!

[@benoduartebd]

Thanks bro I finally hit a good front side leaning on my heels! The tip helped post more carving videos please thanks! Anyone, it looks like he's more upright at the top is that because he's going fast. Because iam usually tucked more at the top🤔

I've always felt more comfortable going frontside for some reason. As a result my frontside carves are my better, and higher, than my backside ones. My friends, who are much better at bowls, were all saying start frontside, but I immediately felt comfortable going the other way and picked it up quite quickly that way.

Keep all four wheels down in the bowl and Make Carving Cool Again. Pad up and skate tomorrow.

[@SkateparkLessons]

Carving is the best! Thanks for your support and please share this channel with your friends. 💙🛹💙

[@colinfruend5537]

Frontside has always been more comfortable than backside for me. Idk

[@SkateparkLessons]

You’re lucky! Most people it’s the opposite bc they don’t like leaning backwards. 💙🛹💙

[@colinfruend5537]

@@SkateparkLessons I guess its just something about Id rather fall backwards than face first and scorpion.

[@SkateparkLessons]

Learn to use knee pads if you want to punch yourself fast bc you’ll be falling often and sliding helps so much. 💙🛹💙

[@colinfruend5537]

I may have to take you up on that. I'm part of the "no pads all glory" era. And getting older makes me not to fall as much too. Pads and helmet it is then.

Frontside kills me 😭 I feel like I get the timing fucked

[@SkateparkLessons]

Start a little smaller until you find the angle and pump timing and then slowly work your way up the ramp 💙🛹💙

Can only carve on the corners, like he was saying how they kind of hug you. Can't do it on the straight sections. Hmmmmmmm

[@SkateparkLessons]

You can carve where ever you want to get around a bowl but corners work best 💙🛹💙

[@contorta960]

@@SkateparkLessons cheers. I know, I saw in yours and many videos. I can commit on corners. But the half-pipe sections, can carve 45 degrees to the top but then jump off. I can't commit, feel like the back will slide out on my way down. Hmmmmmmm the struggle continues!

[@contorta960]

@@SkateparkLessons I got it haha. Not back side yet tho. So much fun.

[@triplenineteen9960]

As much as I like this video, for me it would have been even more helpful to show footage while you talk about certain things instead of showing us your face. I am an absolute beginner and seeing tips in motion while hearing about them is essential.

[@SkateparkLessons]

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback and support. We are getting better, but I hope this video helped you get a better understanding even if it shows me talking sometimes. Thanks 💙🛹💙

I'm feeling more comfortable doing front side carves. Weird.
