this video has "Limited or no ads due to content identified as not suitable for most advertisers." y'know, because all of the violence, sex, and cussing in my videos... i love youtube.
people think this is crazy, but i am glad he doesn't cuss. it's more bad, than good. And if there is no reason you Can't use them then there is no reason why you SHOULD use them
This one time i did a shuv-it in front of some girl walking out of a building and while she was passing by she gave a 30 second speech of how scared she was of skateboards
hotdog Butter you have to watch the video: how not to look like someone who watched a tutorial on how not to look like someone who watched a tutorial on how not to look like a beginner
there was a kid on my campus that rode his board everywhere but never any padding. a few months ago he was riding his board to work when he ran over either a crack or a rock and was lunged forward and hit his head on the sidewalk. his brain stem detached and his family had to take him off the ventilator because he was never going to wake up. his name was logan. there is nothing wrong with padding. it can literately save your life.
desireeissonotcool Post this for everyone to see! There’s a lesson to be taught here 💕 Safety First!!! Praying for Logan’s family and for you, losing a friend can be hard, even if you didn’t know him well ✨
I was skateboarding down a huge hill and well my skateboard started wobbling and I lunged forward and the first thing that slammed to the ground was my head. I was out cold and went to the hospital. I luckily had a helmet on and the nurse said if I hadn’t had one on, I’d crush my skull. I can’t remember anything about that day, that’s just what my mom told me. I only got a concussion, really bad black eye, and cuts all over my hands; arms; legs and face. Always wear a helmet.
My advice. If your a beginner skater at a skatepark. Don't pretend you know what your doing. Today was my first day in a skate park and I looked awful but the guys there were nice and helped me out
I wish i had that experience as a kid. The other kids and even the teenagers were so nasty, I didn't want to skate anymore because of that, but here I am at 32 and learning how to skate. I've got tougher skin this time around haha
Being a beginner is a good thing. It means you finally decided to join a badass brotherhood of awesome people who enjoy the same activity. We all start somewhere
These skaters riding by yelled at me “POSER!” when I was trying to get on my cousins board just for fun but it lowkey hurt my feelings lmao the skating community is rude sometimes 😂💀
I just started skating and the first thing i found out is that confidence is really key. Don’t try to pretend you’re all experienced or know anything about it, just own that you’re a beginner and be honest and confident about it. If you do that you’ll not only learn way faster, you’ll also find out that most people don’t even care.
Always found it so sad that some people hate on wearing a helmet. I like my skull intact thanks! Its the same idiot logic why some people dont wear seatbelts.
Yeah I learned my lesson when I was younger. I busted my head open and had to go get stitches. I rather get made in front of than having permanent brain damage
Jason i learned my lesson because I didn’t want to put my helmet on while driving down a steep hill with my bicycle, my mom forced it on me and I ended up falling and my helmet cracked in two pieces. That could’ve been my head bruh
just a reminder to anyone learning...it’s okay to look like a beginner if you are one! as long as you’re having fun it doesn’t matter, everyone learns at their own pace and at the end of the day everyone was a beginner at one point
I started learning how to ride a skateboard like 3 days ago and every time I go outside I feel super unconfident This helped me boost my confidence a little thanks 🙏

Idk why but i literally cant pick up my board like that- i think it’s Bc my board is huge (I’m getting a new one soon cuz mines too big), but like i can’t do anything on my board...
Ngl but when I practiced than a week ago I smashed my board so hard into my crotch I had to lay down on the ground for a second. It was hurting like hell 😂 (I started skating like 2 weeks ago and I am still far from perfect at picking up my board. But it's getting better)
Pickin up my first board today at 30. Watch tons of how-to videos. Glad I stumbled upon yours, feels like you’re in front of me explaining stuff rather than grin and sarcastically laugh at what i can’t do like any other tutorials videos. You got yourself a new subscriber kind Sir !
I started skating after 30. I think about 35. I saw a 60 plus year old man on a skateboard. I always wanted to learn. I am 44 now. I still skateboard. I guess more longboarding now. It is a great way to get around. Tony Hawk said on Joe Rogan, "Why walk when you can skate?"
Dang man, yesterday was my first time back on a board in 6 years, I went to the skate park to get my bearings again, hung around for a hour, looked like a complete moron, went skating down town this morning and it was like I never got off the board 6 years ago. It doesn’t matter what people think it’s about what makes ya happy
@@BigV42069 my 10 yo recently has gotten into skating.. I'm almost 40, and haven't been on a skateboard (I snowboard) since my early 20s... And I really couldn't skate that well then... I don't give a fuck what I look like, we are having fun... I would rather take him to the hospital for a broken arm, than an OD.
I have been skating for 4 years and I’m too much of a chicken to do tricks lmao- I have gone to skateparks and go down hills but that’s the most gahaha-
Same. They just paved my driveway but thy paved it with grooves so my skateboard still won’t roll. And my city skate park is under construction for like ten years
I remember getting distracted on the sidewalk because I spotted classmates and promptly hit a curb and fell at the exact moment they noticed me, that was indeed embarrassing
I did something similar, I went past this girl at high school and then immediately flew off the board and literally ate dirt as I went face first through a dirtpile. It was embarrassing although they got a good laugh at least.
Hate to be the guy to say it but if you need a helmet while just cruising you’re a dumbass obviously wear one if you’re doing tricks or at a park but other than what’s the reason
@@alphachicken3967 there's always the chance you could get in an accident, unexpected car or pedestrian or whatever, same reason experienced bikers still wear one

they have smooth sidewalks and roads, ride a board wherever you want, it's a pity that they don't have them in my country, we have asphalt with cracks and pits, we have such concrete slabs only in the skate park
@Quynn Campbell Just do what i did. Put board down. Back up 10 feet. Runn and jump on it and glide along like a pro (I can't even turn!). To be fair i can roller skate so board isnt' too scary though it is harder.
ikr like pls he almost died, but like then again i dont think random ppl will go around whacking ppl in the head with a skateboard like adam did but like better to be safe then sorry ig
Yea I was at a friend of mine and I leant his skateboard his sister had a penny board she jumped because we were going pretty fast and we were going down so she jumped and then it happend the penny board just crashed under the board I was driving and blocked My wheels (I was going about 15km/h) I DID A F*CKING FRONTFLIP AND LANDED ON MY KNEE MY KNEE WAS F*CKING BLEEDING LIKE MY WHOLE KNEE WAS COVERD IN BLOOD (the worst part is this happend when I was 8 now I'm about 12 my knee was bleeding for almost 2 straight hours and u could see it almost 10 months later) well thats why I don't jump off my board and hate all the people doing it
Such a useful video! It's not even about not looking like a beginner, it's about learning the most basic things for a beginner to be aware of and fixing them to get better. Thanks a lot from a beginner!
*looks pretty easy* steps on board: OH GOD edit:its been a couple months since i commented this.i didnt expect it to blow up. i now know how to skateboard and im pretty good at it😂😂
Emme Jo, put your kicking foot up first on the board, like walking, have your other foot to pump then when you are fast enough put both feet on the board and face them to the side, but when pushing put your kicking foot facing the front. Hope this helped!🙂
Went to a skate park and wore a helmet and pads because it was my first time I skated and i immediately got laughed at. After that i quit skating and now I’m “professional” freestyle skier😂
I just recently started skating because I’m always bored inside my house since my family had to self-quarantine.and I don’t do tricks or nothing I just cruise around the block so yeah ✌️✌️
I remember I did a slide trick downhill on my board one time and this old lady stopped to watch and applauded every time, she was so sweet and it made me smile.
I started Longboarding two weeks ago and I only go out after sunset because I feel so ashamed trying to learn it at my age xD I know it's stupid but I can't help it ^^
Just feel the board dont try to force it 🤣🤣 not sure if it makes sense but i found when i started to skate i kinda over compensate sometimes. So just feel the way the board is responding to cracks and inclines. That goes a long way to improving.
I started longboarding 3 years ago when I was 41! It's great, I wish I'd started earlier! I felt self-consious at first but have largely got over it. It generally gets a positive reaction from all ages. There is also a Very Old Skateboarders facebook group and I met up with a few of them in a London park once and we cruised around.
I was skating when a group of teenagers yelled “I can tell you’re a beginner but you are doing really good, keep going and you will be better!” And I thought I looked more or less experienced by now since I just got the hang of it + feel more comfortable… Anyways, thanks for the tips, much needed after today xD
Yeah definitely, but sometimes you’re in a mob of skaters and you feel out of place, sure who cares what they think but it ain’t a good feeling ya know?
I always wanted to skate board when i was a teen but i was always scared of what people thought of me. Im 25 now and bought a cruiser today. Fell four times because of working on balance. But so far im really enjoying it. Wish i did it sooner!
I'd wear a helmet for safety, because knowing myself, I'd probably slip, fall, and die ... But yeah I feel the PRESSURE if I'd ever go outside and skate knowing that a car or a neighbor can watch me and judge my lame skating lol.... this is why I only skate in the garage but I WILL GO INTO THE REAL WORLD ONE DAY.
I don't give a shit what the general consensus is on helmets, but when I'm trying something new or skating at a decent speed and attempting tricks, I wear my helmet. My dad almost died riding his bike when a lady hit him from behind at 35 mph. He is living right now because of his helmet. Sure it's not skating, but I just don't want to risk anything.
Helmet saved my life when dirt biking was landed on from another rider tripling it. To say a helmet is not cool well f being non-helmet cool. Let’s see concrete vs skull...Only reason many kids don’t wear helmets is because young and inexperienced.
Yea but when you’re good at it, doesn’t really matter, i’m 11 and i’m not that good, but the worst that ever happened to me, was just a hole in my pants and a scratch init
Tell me about it. Back when I used to race bmx, looped out learning a manual at a pump track, faceplanted into tarmac and nearly got concussed - if I had hit any harder, A&E would have been involved. And only recently, when I was mountain biking, hit a tree and guess what hit the tree first? My head. broke my helmet but not my head, hiked back to the car park, bought a new helmet and went back out. Would've been a trip to a hospital had I not worn a helmet.
I’m new to the skateboarding community and just got done learning cubing, the Rubik’s cube community is great but I was surprised to see how much kindness there is in the skateboarding community
Thank you so much! I just bought a skateboard a couple weeks ago but the community seems so toxic and I’m scared to ask anyone for help the thing about putting your weight into the foot on the board was so helpful!!
You don't wear helmet because you can't skate. You wear helmet in case you don't see another person coming with full speed at you from behind and knocking you down with your head first.

very first tip: “....just make sure you’re comfortable riding first.” me, who literally just got a board and barely knows how to ride yet: “welp I already failed that step.”
I’m a noob on a longboard that can hardly go up a sidewalk ramp,and I was worried that I’d get embarrassed by wearing a motorbike helmet(only one available) but now,I have confidence.thanks!!!
“things that may make you look like a poser: helmets” well i’m sorry that i don’t want to fall, hit my head and be in a coma for the rest of my life lol. this isn’t directed towards him i’m j confused why wanting to be safe makes you look like a poser 😂
Yea, hearing that makes me want to go to a skate park less when I'm already afraid of being judged.... like yea I'm a beginner, that's why I NEED a helmet n pads
i like this video because it gives me more confidence, i wanted a skateboard since i was 13 but now im almost 20 and just got myself my own skateboard and this helps me feel more confident with my riding and making me aware of things i should consider
Just get a cheap deck from Wallmart. They arent something you can use for very very long (without replacing hardware anyway) but it will give you an idea if you wanna ride or not.
Jarthen Greenmeadow yeah my brother got me a board from SkateWarehouse or something like that and I got to pick out all the parts. I’ve been skating everyday since I got it but not as much as of late cause of the whole lockdown since I live in New York.
@kinda like a turtle What do you expect from the skater community, all a bunch of toxic little pp white guys who are overprotective and angry about skating

Feels like I’m getting brain damage when I hear someone say something is “lit”

Hate to be the guy to say it but if you need a helmet while just cruising you’re a dumbass obviously wear one if you’re doing tricks or at a park but other than what’s the reason

Just feel the board dont try to force it 🤣🤣 not sure if it makes sense but i found when i started to skate i kinda over compensate sometimes. So just feel the way the board is responding to cracks and inclines. That goes a long way to improving.
Hahaha I’m the same just started learning and feel like such a goof in all my safety gear
STEP 1: STOP GIVING A FUCK STEP2: REPEAT STEP ONE
I started longboarding 3 years ago when I was 41! It's great, I wish I'd started earlier! I felt self-consious at first but have largely got over it. It generally gets a positive reaction from all ages. There is also a Very Old Skateboarders facebook group and I met up with a few of them in a London park once and we cruised around.

I don't give a shit what the general consensus is on helmets, but when I'm trying something new or skating at a decent speed and attempting tricks, I wear my helmet. My dad almost died riding his bike when a lady hit him from behind at 35 mph. He is living right now because of his helmet. Sure it's not skating, but I just don't want to risk anything.
I don't understand why you'd get called out for wearing a helmet, if you're new, it's better to be safe than sorry.
100% agree.
As do I
Helmet saved my life when dirt biking was landed on from another rider tripling it. To say a helmet is not cool well f being non-helmet cool. Let’s see concrete vs skull...Only reason many kids don’t wear helmets is because young and inexperienced.
Helmets should be mandatory in pools
Tbh a helment is never a bad idea
Good idea
I would wear one except I think at this point if I fuck up bad enough while cruising that I somehow land on my head?? Maybe I needed that concussion🤣
Yea but when you’re good at it, doesn’t really matter, i’m 11 and i’m not that good, but the worst that ever happened to me, was just a hole in my pants and a scratch init
Tell me about it. Back when I used to race bmx, looped out learning a manual at a pump track, faceplanted into tarmac and nearly got concussed - if I had hit any harder, A&E would have been involved. And only recently, when I was mountain biking, hit a tree and guess what hit the tree first? My head. broke my helmet but not my head, hiked back to the car park, bought a new helmet and went back out. Would've been a trip to a hospital had I not worn a helmet.
Defends if you're going to do a dangerous thing while skateborad.
