HOW TO RIDE A PENNY SKATEBOARD FOR BEGINNERS

[@Back2Life]

Just ordered my 32 black penny board and I've never been able to skate in my life. Fingers crossed I can get myself balanced on the actual board and not get it to fly out from under me and fall on my ass. This video could not have been better timed though. I'll probably post an update once It arrives. Big thanks, well edited and explained and straight to the point. You're the man.

[@tpalmer]

Hey I’m glad to hear it! And yeah let me know your progress. I’m sure it’ll help some people in the comments! Be sure to come back weekly for new skateboard video reviews and some other stuff like this.

[@Back2Life]

@@tpalmer Sure will. Again, super helpful video and will keep everyone posted.

[@tpalmer]

Thanks I appreciate it

[@Back2Life]

@@tpalmer OK. So the board arrived and I only really had around half an hour to start practising. I've been trying to figure out my foot placement on flat ground, and I've had the board go out from under me after scooting around. I've noticed quite a bit of tilt and I think I need to work on my balance in general and actually finding the comfortable spot on the board.

[@raccoon2276]

@@tpalmer I owned one for almost a year now, I use to trasport to school and other places, the only inefficiency is how small it is, I sure got used to it but I do hate hearing "LoOk At HoW sMaLl It iS cHiLdReN ToY"

[@woOBuzz89]

Do not stop as in method 2, this is ridiculous! You risk tipping over backwards and damage the delicate plastic board, it is durable but not for friction. The real second method is to transfer your weight to the leg that stands in front on the board, and with the other leg gently place the leg on the ground, pressing harder and harder until you stop.

[@michaelalcashe7942]

Crazy how well timed this video is.

[@tpalmer]

haha, I like these comment threads.

[@avobooty6850]

When u learned how to balance. U can learn how to stop safely by placing(grind) your left foot on the ground slowly till it stops the board and your right foot on the board to keep you balance. i use this method all the time going downhill or in the city. Jumping out on your board when going down hill sounds little scary, Lol. Well this might cost damage to your shoes but welcome to skateboarding.

[@TheCoffeeCrow]

when i was very little me uncle got me pennyboard, never picked it up. older now and despite it needing some... colour changes, i'm trying to learn to ride it, its pretty small and easy to drag around, to add to my frustration though, its small, and probably kids sized, this video is a huge help though, thanks!

[@himivea5862]

I just got a penny board and practiced walking one leg on it, it’s a important step as it builds up the courage and balance to step up on it with both legs.

[@tpalmer]

hey right on! hows you progress so far? i'd love to feature some of you guys in a video so if you want to you can send a video clip of your progress to my email and one day I can add all of you to a video! (email on about page, at the bottom)

All you have to do for turning on a penny/skateboard is move your feet up or down, pretty much use your ankle as a hinge. Don’t move your body, just your feet.

Wow this was very helpful✨❗ I got a penny board a while ago but Im not able to ride it for longer than 10 seconds . I know im a regular rider and Im gaining confidence . This video helps a lot and hopefully soon I can learn and ride it like you do , Im also thinking of getting a new one since mine was a five dollar penny board but it has been doing great . Even though today I literally just came back from practicing and the wheel kind of just stopped spinning and I dont know what to do any tips ?

[@tpalmer]

That's great! and tips on the wheel issue, id say if you really like penny, make the investment, spend the 100 bucks and buy a board that'll last, and if you are still trying to find out what board you want, consider watching other videos I have comparing to the penny and make your choice from there, thanks for watching and I hope this helps. Would love to see you in the comments again!
