I am very new to longboarding in general but I am finally getting the courage to start learning steps to longboard dance. Videos like this are invaluable tools and I am so grateful you take the time to share your skill through your educational videos. Tips like keeping your head over your feet, committing to the steps, and finding the flow are really key tips. Thank you!
No problem! We are more than happy to help share the knowledge! Please let us know if there is anything specific you need help with so we can create the right kind of video in the future!
Great video. When I first tried cross-stepping, I was terrible because I was no good at riding switch. So, I practiced riding switch and that helped a ton.
with dancing moves it's nice to practice them first without carve. Make sure you realy get the feeling and get comfortable with moving like that on your board. For example the switchstep is awesome in a carve but for us also the first dance move we teach. By putting your foot in the middle it's realy doable and a great way of starting of your first dance steps. And when you get them down start doing them in a carve. Great episode!
I just bought 2 longboards for me and my girlfriend, and these videos have been probably the most helpful of anybody we have watched. Thanks a million!
I don't know his name, but the guy at the end... his advice about flow and stop seeing tricks as these independent things... That's the stuff. Flow is the key, and feeling the flow is the only answer that matters. If you are longboarding to get a list of tricks, I suppose that's cool, but... man. Just riding for that feeling of flow is where it's at!
I loved the video and it was very helpful watching the two of you because I'm also goofy foot. Just started riding 6 months ago for the first time and seeing this helps me visualize my steps. Thanks guys and keep the videos coming .
Great video guys!! I'm just learning to dance, and it's cool to see some instruction on flow. Maybe you could include more tips on combos and transitions? I'm super pumped to see the next one!
Yes! I recommend showing foot placement on the topside of the board and the board on grass...unless youre trying to show off that awesome graph on the Tarab 😉 We need more dancing. Keep up the good work gents!
We included this link as a card in the video, but in case you missed it, check out Spin-Skate's "Steptionary" to get a good visualization of these moves and more! spin-skate.com/trick-tips/steptionary/
Really loving the education series, this was actually super useful! I also loved focusing on one person at a time, it was cool to learn more about alex last week and his interests so it would be good to do for the other members of loaded :)
Loved it. I wanna learn all disciplines of longboarding. With the educational side, I want to know how Loaded got to be where it is today, like a history of the company.
I’m riding a 9.5” x 47” Koastal Current. My question is if it’s better to loose trucks or tight and hard or soft bushings. Thanks in advance for your help
I am a parkour coach try to learn longboard dance. I love the idea of is not a trick is a step. It's about flow it's about style. Do you guys have a training routine or loose pattern to your skating that helps you grow? Warm up? how long to skate? crosstraining or conditioning? how to add new steps you suck at with steps you are better at into flow? thanks for the video
Awesome! We are all about flow since skating in general is one long experience rather than short moments of fun. Usually, we practice by cross stepping every direction we can. It familiarizes yourself with the different balance points on your board and your balancing skills on each foot, as well as getting comfortable skating in different positions than you usually do. When we are trying to incorporate new steps into our routines, we will practice the new steps first and make sure we understand the balance and movements. Once comfortable with the new steps, we will usually start with a cross step and try to lead into the new steps, creating new combos while still mastering new maneuvers. For cross training, many of us like to snowboard and surf whenever we can. Help you understand the different balance points that cater to each type of board sport and how they can then help your skating balance. We also like to practice our balance and control with balancing boards like the Indo Board. You can easily make your own by filling a STRONG two liter water bottle with water and taking an older skate deck with not trucks or wheels and try to maintain your balance on top of the bottle! Hope this helps!
Watch video of riders from different regions to get new ideas for combos. Korean style is very different than European style, while both are very distinct from classic dancing videos like old Adam and Adam videos. Check out Adam Colton's video Sun Dried Tomatoes for some combo ideas: th-cam.com/video/9U9OZPKTF5s/w-d-xo.html
I fell off hella hard. Now I’m shaky when I get back on cause I’m hella scared. What do you do to get over the fear? And, how do I know I’m ready for the trick?
The best thing you can possibly do is learn how to fall safely. Depending on availability for you, look into gymnastics tumbling, parkour, or mobility training type stuff. Learn how to roll and how to land softly when you can't roll and practice falling down more than you practice anything else. Once you have it in muscle memory you will feel much more confident when trying tricks! Your body will know how to fall and it will be an instant reaction, you don't even have to think about it. That's why a lot of advanced skaters don't wear any protective gear at the skate park - they've learned how to fall without getting injured. They still get bruised and scraped up, but no serious injuries. Also, get pads and a helmet if you don't already have them, they help a lot for making new tricks feel less scary. I have a helmet + elbow + knee pads and I wear them a lot when practicing, even though I do know how to fall safely. You have to screw it up many times in order to eventually get it right, so brace yourself for lots of falling!
Hello, so I am trying to find a longboard that can do 2 things. 1.dancing 2.Doing no comply/boneless tricks, if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them. Thanks!
could you trying narrating over video of you doing different lines and explaining your thought process/explanation, video with words together are amazing for learning
I know this is an old video, but anyone seeing this, can this be done on a tapered longboard i think theyre called where the back has smaller width than the front and is this better with looser or tighter trucks?
Yeah they can work! We've tried them a couple of times on dancing setups and they roll just fine, but we did notice that the lumpy edges of the wheel seem to slow you down when you carve really deep into turns. Maybe we are hallucinating, but that's just our personal experiences They look cool though!
it is, at least for 360 pirouette, it just kills your shoes sooooo quick, if you want to try 540 or even 720, grip tape will give you a hard time spinning
Awesome guys, inspiring and really useful. Just one thing, I would like to see safety mentioned, eg hand protection when learning new tricks at least. This not only provides protection, but also gives confidence which speeds up learning. Thanks again guys!
You can order on loadedboards.com and have it shipped directly to India. We can't give you a shipping quote at the moment because it depends on how large the board is and how much it weighs. You should be able to calculate your shipping costs on the checkout portion of our website! You can also try and order a board from a nearby country that distributes Loaded and Orangatang product. Look into shops like Cold Mountain in China, or Longboard Love from Singapore. We also have distributors in Thailand and Malaysia!
From our line up, we suggest starting with boards like the Dervish Sama or the Tan Tien! They are drop through boards and make it easier to push and get around town. Each board comes in different flex ratings to make sure you have something that will fit your weight range (weight ranges can be found on each board page) If you want something that will be with you as you progress your skills, then we suggest the Basalt Tesseract! Light, with a little bit of flex, the Basalt Tesseract is perfect for just about any type of riding you want to get into! Tan Tien: loadedboards.com/114-28.html Dervish Sama: loadedboards.com/114-29.html Basalt Tesseract: loadedboards.com/114-16.html
The original Adam Colton Video is way better than this. Especially when it comes to where you have to point your toes - forward and not "parallel to your back foot".
Trueeee, the subtle angle of your feet does make a big difference and should've been mentioned! We will keep that in mind next time around. If you got any other suggestions please mention them!
Ethan does them like that in the clips before and after that so I guess if they watch closely people will know how to do them. Adams Video helped me a lot because I just couldn't balance myself very well doing them with my feet almost perpendicular to the board.
awesome video guys! well done but it is a shame that you guys were not wearing helmets :/ i know they're not popular along with the dancing community but they still should be worn by the "pros" so that kids are more likely to wear them! even still a really good video for anyone trying to learn the basics of dancing!

Great stuff. Clear breakdown of steps, good tips, good examples! Let the practice begin...
Can you guys do a trick compilation or like a longboard dance off!! Show us more of your skills
Oooohhh, thats a good one! Maybe we're going to have to get Lotfi, Jong Bin, Duo Duo and Ari involved!

Will you guys try to ad woody harrelson's "I feel like dancing" audio from Anger Management in one of your future dancing videos?
Could i dance on the 38.5” board? Im not so tall... what do you think?
What about some really crouched down g turn trick tips? or some Hippie jump variations , that will be sick!
HELP US MARCO!

could you trying narrating over video of you doing different lines and explaining your thought process/explanation, video with words together are amazing for learning

Is it possible to dance on cruiser board?
This is cool im getting a longboard for my bday on march 28th
Da wood chop ! It was showed but not spoke about , luv @davidgetthem
how about some setups, and freeride/downhill
I know this is an old video, but anyone seeing this, can this be done on a tapered longboard i think theyre called where the back has smaller width than the front and is this better with looser or tighter trucks?
Is dancing harder on a smaller deck? I have a 36 in deck with about 32 in wheelbase
I want to get me some shark wheels, but would they work for longboard dancing?
Yeah they can work! We've tried them a couple of times on dancing setups and they roll just fine, but we did notice that the lumpy edges of the wheel seem to slow you down when you carve really deep into turns. Maybe we are hallucinating, but that's just our personal experiences They look cool though!

would love to see ethan outside my house tbh
is it possible to do a pirouette on grip tape?
it is, at least for 360 pirouette, it just kills your shoes sooooo quick, if you want to try 540 or even 720, grip tape will give you a hard time spinning
What kind of board did you use?

Ethan(?) Looks like the guy who would laugh the pain away even if he broke some bones while riding
(Edited) and he looks older :(
Did Ayrton Senna just teach me to pirouette?
In next episode maybe do some freestyle advices?
You bet! Anything in specific? Slide tricks? Flip tricks? Dancing specific?

Not as good as Tricks and Tips with Adam and Adam.
