[@pizzaface4628]

Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

Good luck!

Quickly becomes one of the most addicting things to do

Man it's crazy to think I was watching these videos in the summer of 2016, not even able to stand on my new board but excited to learn and now I can ride like it's second nature and learned so many tricks from your videos. There's so much nostalgia in hearing the chill background music and seeing all of the skate spots you used to film in. If you're new and are really struggling to pick skating up, that's normal! Just keep at it and have fun, I'd give anything to be back in those days again

Jesus loves u and died for u

[@b0neless437]

@Cody-wu5px ... um, thanks?

[@100-Cockroaches]

Yeah I know lol, I’m gonna start skating again soon when I buy some shoes

[@yung_Latios]

Dude where you at man hope everything's alright

[@otvkv2096]

it makes me happy knowing new people are picking up a board every day

[@-OREOZ-]

The fact this was his last video.

what happened….

[@marcuskoch4981]

I don’t even skate much anymore, I haven’t found the time in years. But i remember watching all your trick guides years ago and being so excited to go to the park with my friends and try them out. You‘re one of the reasons I spent so much time out there, connecting with friends and having fun. I miss it, i don’t know anyone who skates anymore. But the fact that you still make these videos makes me so happy. I know another generation of skaters will be well looked after.

[@jaysonkstone9905]

this.

[@SkinnySkates]

Pick it up again man. I skated hard from 14-18, then quit to work more. My girlfriend became a wife. Apartment became a house. Hourly job turned salaried. NONE of those things have brought me as much personal fulfillment as picking up skating again in the last year at 34yo. I felt like such a drone. Always doing what I needed to do, and almost never doing anything I wanted to do. Don't only focus on what you have to. Focus on something because you want to.

[@its_alex1621]

Me who own a skateboard for a month and still watching videos for people who stand on a skateboard for the first time.

[@knobluch]

Oh man, this made me so nostalgic. Thank you for your videos!

[@ovecboy]

IMO the best way to figure out your stance is thinking about how you slide on ice naturally. You kniw that when you are fooling around on ice in regular shoes. You run for it, and start sliding as it feels natural. Now that will also be your skateboarding stance. At least I got this advice, and it worked right away for me

[@sakreth1113]

Best first day skating tutorial so far! Nobody talks about one footed balance for pushing / stopping or why one should use both legs to lift the end of the board. Monster Walk is also useful to get comfortable on the board.

[@christopherlarge6087]

just got my first board this week. did a little skating as a young teenager, but at age 33 im ready to give it a better shot. thanks for posting such a calm and judement free beginners video.

[@vlonexx]

[@daverobertson1419]

Love this video. Great help for me, I am 60 and want to just cruise on a long board and do some Ollie’s to get on and off pavements.

[@roberttoney3929]

[@NegativeJV]

I’ve been skating for about more than half of my life and I’ve recently started doing tricks , I’ve just used my board to cruse around and now I really want to do tricks and I’m mainly struggling with commitment , I’m so afraid of breaking something yk

[@rikaakira9635]

I love it! It's literally step by step and that's exactly what I needed to see as a total greenhorn. Thank you ^_^

[@mitachy2528]

Hey man I am a big fan of your content and since I started skating in October all of your beginner tutorials were very helpful I just wanted to ask you if you can make more videos about more intermediate level skateboarding and maybe not really about tricks since you have covered most of them but about different concepts and ways to improve them in order to progress. I am a big fan and I thank you for the beginner friendly content you have provided until now!

[@WillaSalam]

So happy to see you posting again :)

[@gnome0freakv3]

keep making videos

[@neone_q]

This video helped me SOOO MUCH. I got my board today and I already know how not to fall of my board immediately, and how to ride very slowly! THANK YOU ♥️

[@tilted9230]

I love your videos man, been skating for like 2 weeks straight since i started and its so additing and ur vids help a lot. plus i sometimes see places from my town which is cool lol

[@ambrosiainman708]

[@rain596]

This is such a useful, concise, well-made video. Starting my skateboarding journey today, thank you!

[@SimonSlasher]

just got my skateboard yesterday, thought it was a great idea to skip steps and try doing a trick- I fell and fractured my arm LMAO. I shoulda watched this video before I started doing anything on my skateboard.

[@shmungus6035]

I sent this to my friend who just started skating 2 days ago! I hope this helps her a bit more with the basics!

[@karsyn2krazy]

Bro I’ve been watching you for around a year or a few months over a year I started skateboarding and I learned an Ollie after watching a video of yours. Then I started doing more tricks that I learned from your videos couldn’t master a kick flip. I stopped skating and here I am I started skating again and I’m working on a kick flip rn so thank you for your content

[@Mohammadghouse-fj4mv]

First day down I rode around my barn for about 3 hours mainly just working on footing and balance, surprised how "fast" I was able to move, can kinda do throwdowns. I do way better if I let go of my fear and just go off feel

[@Treyxanmusic]

my skateboard is so wobbolly i tried tighting my trucks but its still wobboly idk if its caue ive never ridden it before so im not used to it

[@_________________________.-]

I just realize you shouldn't put all your feet into the board

[@renren3056]

My problem is I can get on the board but it moved to one side when I'm just standing

[@The-real-Tracy_Spiridakos]

1 tip:make sure u have the balance bc if u don’t u don’t u could seriously injure urself Oh I also reccomend doing it on grass bc u can’t really skate on gras so teh grass will stop the board from moving

[@timmyee7555]

what wheels are those

[@ItsWolfyLove]

Oooo
