The Rules Of Skateboarding (And Why You Need To Follow Them)

[@jimizxztheorginal]

Beginners are always welcome! At my local the core skaters all go nuts when someone lands their first ollie or drops in for the first time. We all know that feeling of "I FINALLY DID IT!" that send you chasing new tricks and making new skate goals.

[@cesarfitforever3278]

Too many rules man! I'm building my own stakepark... exclusively for begginers and mongo pushers. Once you know how to ollie you're out. Great video Justin! 👍👍

[@noctain6683]

When using earphones, when the park is busy just put one earphone in so u can still hear with ur other ear

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

I like it! 🎧

[@ElanaTee]

Loved the one about being welcoming to newcomers! That one’s so important and can really make a sesh more fun for everyone. 💛

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Agreed! Some skaters can be a little elitist sometimes, thought it would be nice to have a little reminder =)

[@ProgressSkateboarding]

Always got to be welcoming to others. It makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable for everyone.

[@shami4236]

Im new to skateboarding and just instinctively assumed all these rules without prior knowledge when i went to a skatepark.

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

You would be surprised how rare that is! haha

[@lZlSHINTANi]

I usually have ear buds in when the park isn't so crowded, but when there are more people showing up I tend to either lower the volume enough to hear what's going on around me or just stop listening to music.

[@oldladyfalling7844]

Beginners should go when it's less busy if just learning,morning is best... until they get comfortable riding around the park and understanding the flow etc...

[@melvinblackburn7444]

I agree 100% and will add that if a person can't even roll on flat without falling, a crowded skatepark is not a good place to learn. An empty basketball court, a neighborhood sidewalk that isn't busy, a driveway, a low traffic parking lot... these are all great places to learn how to kick and just roll on a board. People that don't have basic board control and try to learn it at a crowded skatepark endanger themselves and others.

[@oldladyfalling7844]

@@melvinblackburn7444 truth!

[@jeffberridge176]

Straight up! The only exception I’ll make is if you’re looking for some pointers, and know how to stay out of peoples’ way. Can’t really help yourself when you’ve plateaued and KZbin cant always help. Though if you can’t really ride ramps or grind etc, nothing wrong with a big empty school parking lot, or behind Walmart

[@lilia3944]

@@jeffberridge176 also early morning/late at night. My local skatepark is in the middle of the industrial part of town, which means you won't be the loudest person there at 5am. Probably a smaller issue in a more rural area with space between the houses, but it's nice to not wake the whole neighborhood sometimes.

[@t-rextheskateboarder]

To the beginners, always look where you are going and be respectful when going to the skate park. Also, I have to learn this the hard way but try to avoid the sun if possible

[@JimVincent]

I love your whole channel. I've been answering so many questions over on r/newskaters just by providing links to your channel and/or videos. Lots of people benefitting from the hard work you put into this. Thanks for all you do for the community!

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

This was a really nice comment to wake up to 🙏

[@JimVincent]

@@NeverStopImprovingSB I was born in Galveston, lived in Houston until I was fourteen, started skating there in 1989. It's the Texas skater connection. I've been in Oklahoma since 1991, just now getting back into skating at age 44 after almost 30 years. Your channel has been a great refresher. Also, I wasn't the best skater back then, but had no one to teach me. We didn't exactly have KZbin in the late 80's and guides were usually just instructions and a set of photos. The way you break it all down is awesome. Thanks again.

[@machico8506]

I appreciate the upfront approach, honesty, simple instruction, and positivity. Every video makes me want to grab my board and hit a session - love it. Please keep it up

[@Stohsh]

Beginners are awesome, they show that the skateboarding sport will forever continue, from generation to come

[@DeclanZapala]

Been following your channel for a couple of years now and I just want to congratulate you in advance on how much your channel is about to blow up in advance of the olympics skateboarding event. The grind is real and you deserve the visibility!

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Hey, thanks so much man! I already feel so fortunate to have received the amount of support that I have, it has been such an incredible ride so far! 🛹

[@DeclanZapala]

@@NeverStopImprovingSB oh yeah! I really should have started that congratulating you on how big your channel already is! 😅 My ollies and shuvits thankyou for your wisdom! Looking forward to your future videos man!

[@ChaosHarbinger]

I'm honestly terrified to go to the skate park cause I'm a girl with terrible social anxiety...

[@morphosis7655]

I hope you are doing ok, social anxiety is really hard to live with. Just go early when it’s quiet. Take care.

[@amenaab]

Same

[@geromemercado9265]

Me: I feel like every rule of skateboading is unwritten

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Sometimes at the entrance to the park they have this big list of rules on a sign, I guess that's what I was referencing

[@saif__-hz4dl]

im a new skater and i people say just learn how to ride so i want to just learn how to ride at a skate park but ill just feel embarrassed because all im going to do is ride not go down ramps or do tricks just ride…

[@EPBREAKS]

Same i was just practicing going half up a ramp then down. Then I see these people that are going down the bowl and I am like 😐.

How do I gain confidence

[@oldladyfalling7844]

Time! You just have to keep at it.... confidence will come as you get more comfortable with board control...ride everywhere and as much as you can...but if you have been skating for a bit and already have good board control and feel comfortable, but are still having trouble commiting - try doing tricks right next to a fence - maybe hold onto it for the first few tries, then try without holding on, but still close enough where you can grab it if you feel like you are going to fall.....this helped me get over the mental block of kickflips after a very long battle...

[@MichaelMcCallister097]

Definitely be careful of experienced skaters. Their lines are naturally longer because they do bigger tricks so you need to make sure you have an idea of where people are and where they’re headed so you don’t get in their way when their gaining speed. Especially at smaller parks.

[@Jerham]

Don't call anyone "POSER" it's pretty stupid to tell someone like that that they bought their new board obviously because they want to learn and they had to buy their first complete skateboard.
