I think this stuff is so important. Being able to progress isn't about perfecting what you can already do, it's about being willing to fail at what you don't know how to do. The fear of getting hurt from a fall can really slow your progression down. As a 51-year-old who only took up skating a year ago, I'm acutely aware of this. THe days that I'm more willing to fall are the days I learn the most. Thanks Shane!
Thanks for posting this, it's a really important thing to learn. I like that you showed practice steps, a lot of these videos just tell you or show you quickly.
many people think it's stupid learning how to fall. No, they re the basic in many sports. I have ever believed in falling skills. Thank you man for sharing
Learnt much from this video, appreciate it! Especially how you explained the significance of the smaller exercises leading up to the big ones. I do wish people would remember that any sport is only as enjoyable as they're able to help themselves stay as injury-free as possible. Many times we launch into learning the "basics" without first knowing how to fall safely!
Thank you Shane! This video helped me out so much! 😀 After falling a couple of times during the first session with my surfskate, I found this video(haven't skated before either). These last days I've been warming up and practising falls for about 40 mins before a session. It's such a huge difference! I'm able to ride the board better in this relaxed state and I'm not scared as much about falling as I was before. And since I started your warmup routine, I've not had a single bad fall! Props to you getting so much information across by just showing it with your body language!😁
You don't know it... but you're my new skating buddy!!! XD That way of breaking falls and warm up!!!!" They'd fit in any martial arts class any day!!!! BRAVO!!! (edit: this vid is pure gold!)
Great work Shane. I've watched a number of how to fall videos (from skatebboard) and this is the most detailed and step by step one I've seen. Thanks! I see the influence of martial arts training.
Just recommending this video to a group - and I had forgotten just how good it is!! Even the warm-up section is awesome - it would be great if you could do a video dedicated to warming up 😎
Thanks Shane! This was super helpful! I'll definitely include these exercises into my warm-up routine before skating or doing any physical activity! Peace!
My older and heavier body doesn't bounce back and heal the way it used to, and I'm just starting to learn how to surf skate in my late 30s, so I really appreciate you teaching these techniques in this video. Hopefully practicing this will give me some added confidence on my board
I like this video. Unfortunately locking your elbows and arms straight is a natural instinct. So many elderly fall this way and suffer life changing injuries. The rolling will take time to learn. My first fall I was able to throw my arm out to simulate a break-fall. The fall that hurt my wrist - none of those techniques kicked in as instinct. I was in denial that I was falling and I was on the ground before I knew it. 😂😂. The safest way for me is to wear protective gear and be conservative. Especially when I am starting at age 50. Sometimes falling happens too quickly for some people to respond - they just react instead: lock your joints and become very intense.
Thanks a lot for your video ! Your explanations are super clear and useful, one of the best video on the subject hands down ! It's great to see how we can practice step by step. Also thanks for the written expanations on your video, it permits to screenshot easily and to not rely on the youtube transcript :)
If you have a Parkour gym or group active in your area, go take a Parkour basics course. Tons of great fall training since controlled falls are an intentional part of the sport :)
Sliding is better than rolling for most push yourself along or to the side to deflect the linear momentum into angular momentum and watch vids of good skaters falling few to none roll.
This is in the context of surfskating, not downhill Longboard or traditional skating. Surfskaters don't go that fast and mostly attempt snaps manoeuvres. Besides this video is for beginners to gain an idea of falling. As one progresses things definitely become more individualised.
No you definitely can't skate with a broken leg, I learned it the hard way ! I twisted my ankle which broke at both sides. The result was an operation and my leg in a cast for 6 weeks. I watched this video once before, but did not practice...it was a big mistake. I am 56 and not very supple anymore. Too bad it happened so quickly because I had just bought a Carver triton to replace my longboard. I don't know if I will dare trying surfskate again but at the same time I hate to give up.
Wack! Straight up. All these falls are at walking speed. Try pulling those monkey-stance falls with some speed. Won’t work. For actual falls you always need to hit and roll forward. Then again you’d know this if you actually skated and shih
This is a terrible tutorial. There's much better ways to fall: do fast and tight turns over sandy concrete, wear a blindfold near some stairs, drink a bottle of vodka before skating, remove the grip tape and apply butter... It's pretty easy actually, need I carry on?
Many people around the world have picked up surf skateboards and they don’t surf. They may live inland or may have other reasons. I find the surf now is too crowded since COVID lockdown (no one has etiquette and they steal waves off others). I brought my surf skateboard because my back injury had kept me land locked. I see surf skateboarding as it’s own form of skateboarding. Yes, it is great for surf cross training. But surfing is also about reading waves, being able to swim back to shore if your leg rope breaks, paddling strength and endurance and popping up (which is hard to learn in its own right). Just because someone doesn’t surf doesn’t take anything from them for just having fun and learning new skills on a surf skateboard. More power to them, especially if “they don’t surf”. Don’t get me wrong, I know you mean well by saying surfing will help surf skateboarding but mostly it can be the other around. Having lost strength and endurance due to various shoulder and back injuries. I think need a bigger or more buoyant surfboard. I am loving my surf skateboard and I had the entire netball field to myself this evening. I could never get that in the ocean. Anyway, take this reply with a grain of salt because I will admit that I am not good surfing and I just started surf skateboarding at 50 years old.
Brotha' Shane has started surfing! Totally commend him for stepping out his comfort zone and doing it. Yes, performing manuvers in the water is WAAAY harder.

Man your way of teaching makes makes my brain klick right away

Shane, you are the boss. Went into this one a bit dubiously, but that is spot on.
Never even through about practice falls. 👍
Learnt much from this video, appreciate it! Especially how you explained the significance of the smaller exercises leading up to the big ones.

That is wise, I should have practice too but i unfortunately did not take the time to warm up. Result: a broken ankle.
Wow, this was a brilliant tutorial! So helpful :)
Starting with the basics! Learning how to fall goes first than learning how to ride. Very helpful mate!
This is by far the best all-in-one video I've seen about falling. Wow! Thanks!
This is something I really have to learn! Thanks for sharing! 🤗🙏🏼😆
Glad it helps 😊🤙
thank you very much for all the trouble you go to helping the community
Amazing, I want to incorporate some of this into my surf warm up too! Great video and info as always Master Shane!
Really excellent and super helpful.
Great video, I gonna put in my warm up ^_^ Thank a lot
THANK YOU!! As a new rider this video will help me out and build confidence.
You don't know it... but you're my new skating buddy!!! XD
That way of breaking falls and warm up!!!!"
They'd fit in any martial arts class any day!!!! BRAVO!!!
(edit: this vid is pure gold!)
Great tutorial! Wish I have had the reflex you show in the last minute 6 weeks ago... 🙈 But my radius is healing and I hope I'll remember next time! 😅
This is amazing stuff!
Best warm-up! Thx for posting 🤙

Awesome tips, great channel. Keep on posting your awesome content Shane, im learning so much from you 🙏🏼🤙🏼
Your BJJ tiger skills (or something like BJJ) come in handy for teaching this skill - makes sense- good job- thanks for the video!
Very useful as usual! Tksssss
Thanks a lot for your video !
Your explanations are super clear and useful, one of the best video on the subject hands down ! It's great to see how we can practice step by step. Also thanks for the written expanations on your video, it permits to screenshot easily and to not rely on the youtube transcript :)
Absolutely helpful! Thanks

Kool....i need to warmup before I warmup or theres alot of popping cracking and crunching..)
Perfect!!!
If I could be as flexible as you warming up I wouldn't need a lesson on how to fall!
Fantastic

Cool🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽😎
Brilliant
love thissssss
My biggest fear is wiping out on concrete! Ugh 😩. Thanks for the tips. I’m going to practice with my boys. They’re going to think this is so fun.
You are so beautiful and so helpful. Great to watch. Thank you
falling master👍😂

Imagine going to the skatepark and seeing this dude doing this 😂
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
👍👀💖💖💖
Tricks how to fall from karate still helpful😂
Kung Fu skate ❤
What is your sports background?
Karate
It's so noticeable how solid is yours martial arts background
Cool. I would have guessed judo or bjj. What style karate?
Love your scientific approach! However, it's not all guys. 😉

I'd be too tired to skate after that warm up lol
Wack! Straight up.

Loosen up lol

Ngl. You had me in the first half 😂
You will fall many times from skateboard naturally, what the point to teach how to fall? 🤦♂️
You don’t even surf
