Its 2am
I have a test tommorow
Im never planning to go skateboarding
I don't even have a skateboard
Go get one and fail school.
Welcome u have undiagnosed ADHD aha
@Alexander Hernandez something's wrong here but i just can't put my finger on it hmmmm
@@jeremybrown6762 the dumbass spelled dumbass incorrectly 🤣🤣🤣
Bro, I have my test in 2 hours, I don't even have a board
This is literally THE BEST beginner tutorial for skating. I've watched so many tutorials that think step one is doing an ollie.
yeah thats the first thing i learned its pretty easy once you do it for awhile
@@GL0RI0US_G0R3 how many days for u to Ollie ?
@@GL0RI0US_G0R3 I’ve been at it for months and still can’t get a decent hight
I suggest starting off with casper flips it's easier and makes you get more comfy with flip tricks. Just do casper's and once you master them try doing ollie's. Record yourself so you can see the board come off the ground, then all you gotta do is keep doing it with more force.
@@iichloxo You put your front foot closer to get more height, bend your knees more, make sure your actually popping up and the form is right. Use to be able to ollie over a garbage can on it side when I was younger.
Tonight was the first time I ever tried to skateboard. I’ve been embarrassed to learn from someone my whole life I never bought one or tried, but I finally bought one yesterday and had time after work today, so I pulled this video up and waited until it was like 11pm so I could fuck up in my yard without anyone seeing. This is literally the ONLY tutorial that made even a lick of sense to me. Thank you so so much, my man. (I can balance pretty well and I can roll about 5 feet!! And I didn’t fall once!!)
where my fellow goofy footed people at✌
goofy mongo, which means i push with my front leading foot
Right here
*there is no superior foot stance*
_called “regular” and “goofy”_
IKR AHHQHAHA
lmaoo
LMAAAO
idk why it was called regular, but they called it goofy because in a disney animation where they were surfing, goofy rode with his right foot in front, so they called it goofy in surfing terms, and then the stance name transferred over to skateboarding
lol yea
Skaters always make it look way to easy 😂
Ikr
i hope i get to that stage one day 😄
@@jamescotton7314 you will, mate 👽
When I was 6 I fell off my skateboard when I turned 8 I became a pro
@@avanthimudaliar4524 noice
Great tutorial. I went out with my 8 year old son with a skateboard and rollerblades we found for free at a recycling hall. Just 1 hour later, we had such fun like never before. I don't know what happend. I just stepped on the board, and off I went. Such a feeling of freedom. I'm 54 years old, and wanted to start skateboarding at 10 in norway. At that time, it was forbidden, and police actually took the skateboard. Now, som 40 years later, i finally got the wheels under my feet. And together with my son. Best gift I had for a long time. Thanks' for the tutorial! Made me realise I've done pretty much everything in an ok way.
Thanks for this clear and thorough tutorial-- not learning to skate, but I'm actually animating it. The clearly marked chapters on pushing off, riding, and stopping is just perfect
You should post the animation when it's finished
Throwing down the board and sprinting is a good feeling.
I look forward to it.
Right?!?! I thought i was the only one who gets satisfied from that
Yeah I wanna learn how to I got my skateboard about 3 months ago but havent gone on for a bout 2.5 months
Goooooood feeling
Ikr same. And also dropping in even if it’s just to flat ground.
There’s something so satisfying about how the dude in overalls skates haha 😂
i thought the same thinggg 🙃
😂😂 he looks cool
@@rjejieiwiaieje ok
@Ale a Skateboard is a Skateboard
his riding actually annoyed me lol its how he places his feet near each other and the lead foot is crooked. To me it looks ugly. Interesting how people perceive things differently. It's the same how some people find spiders revolting and some think they're cute.
The focus on keeping weight ON the board and on your front foor while pushing just helped me so much - so much easier and makes me understand how you were saying otherwise youre not actually RIDING the board
Okay Tim, ya got me... I'm in! After watching Sk8 the Infinity, I wanted to try it out myself, but now you've convinced me! I'm 21 years old and I'll be learning with my little brother soon... thanks so much for your help and you've earned a new subscriber! 😁😁
bro same, this anime made me want to learn skateboarding, it looks so fun
@@GintokiHatake literally I've owned a skateboard for ages but I've always been scared to use it recently I came across sk8 the infinity and the way they talk about the heart pounding making it exciting seriously makes me wanna try again!!
@@GintokiHatake I'm with you on that, sk8 was for sure very inspiring
@@GintokiHatake what anime?
Samee I started skateboarding a while ago but I just gave up but after watching Sk8 it's really inspired me again
Learning this at 36 wish me luck!! ✌️🤞
Love u bro im 26 just starting too! 🛹
Good luck guys! Just turned 18 and starting too
Good luck guys! Recently turned 19 and am a month in.
46 over here. Pass the ibuprofen and ice.
I just sessioned last night at age 33 for the first time last night after what was a six-month layoff. Picked it up right where I left off I was shredding,,, in pain today LOL
I'm 17, clumsy as shit and wish to learn. Wish me luck everyone!
Update: Bought my first skateboard! I think its super cool and cant wait to ride and fall down!
we are in the same page lmao, good luck!
how is it going?
any updates?
17 as well but got mine at 16. I'm finally pulling the thing out to learn and the amount times I've fell 😅
Legends say he died
i just started today after watching a bunch of beginner videos and nobody ever mentioned how to distribute your weight on your front foot. thank you so much!
It's weird starting from scratch again 30 years later but can't wait to get back into it. Just got a full board in the mail today and came across this video. I was going goofy foot when I realized I'm a lefty up front. After all these years at least I have great health insurance. Thanks a bunch.
I can’t help but smile for some reason knowing that I may be this good one day
you will be
right gives me soo much motivation
You will
Honestly same
yea same
LOOLLLLL 3:42 The dude trying to push like a beginner killed me.
😂
Haha he can’t handle it anymore and does a trick
Gotta say it is accurate
I love this skate board community, it's a peaceful place where people will answer you if you have a question about skateboarding. starting skateboarding at 19, wish me luck.
this is purely amazing, got a skateboard yesterday and have been researching for nearly a year and decided yesterday with my cousin to get one and this is definitely the best tutorial i’ve seen thus far
THE TINIEST ROCK CAN LITERALLY STOP YOU LMFAO
IKR SO ANNOYING. It just throws me to the front
Lmao
DAMN THEN MY FIRST SKATEBOARD IS GONNA BE A WHOLE WASTE ;-;
Buy softer wheels if there is alot of rocks and rough surfaces around you. I bought hybrid wheels for cruising and tricks
@@rjejieiwiaieje omg are you ok???
3:43 that’s gonna be me 😭
This is me.
why did this make my crack up lmfao
That is me lmao
that was me too
Me when I don’t commit 😭
Thanks so much for this video, I just got a board this week and having never been on one before this is some great theory on how to get started. Feeling so happy I can ride my board up and down the street without having to hop off every 5 seconds :) and that's only the beginning of course.
Keep up the good work!
I only started skateboarding about 2 weeks ago, and for me so far this has been the most detailed tutorial on so many beginner things i did not know i needed to practice, thank you so much !
Nobody:
Absolutely Nobody:
Me at 4am trying to skateboard:
bruh i woke up at 6 AM and went into my garage to go skate
@@GL0RI0US_G0R3 I was skateboarding untill 6am and went home and slept when the sun came up. I'm crazy
Gotta make sure no one knows I suck, but still on that grind
i prefer skating in the dark lmfao
@@Kitty-gt3cg mood
45 years old and just started skateboarding, one thing I've already learned about rolling over cracks in the road, is don't roll over them straight/head on with both front wheels inpacting the crack at the same time, instead try to approach the crack with the board at a slight angle, this helps smooth it out and there's less risk of the front wheels suddenly coming to an abrupt stop on the crack and throwing you off. Hope this little tip helps other beginners like me 👍
Cool, another one in their 40s starting just now! Guess my priority is finding my glasses or contacts: I will not see even the openings and ridges at Grand Canyon otherwise lol
Lift all your weight off the board at the moment of impact with the crack. While keeping both feet on the board and giving a sort of push forward
I’ve been skating since the 05, this is a FANTASTIC GUIDE. Honestly, he even teaches new skaters park manners
I just bought not only my first skateboard ever after 6 months of research but an almost complete in 8.25 from you a couple weeks ago and just got it last week and I'm so happy to see this video online because I have no idea how I should stand on it at my size, or height and my foot size being a 10 medium so I really appreciate this.
It was my first time riding today and IT WENT PRETTY GOOD IT FELT SO GOOD BC I LEARNED SO FAST but I need to practice more I’m goofy
same haha
how have you progressed? do u find it easy to ride freely comfortably?
Hahaha same
Same🤩🤩
ive been skateboarding for months , im still learning but its clicking :D , im goofy too
bro but it's so scary only having one leg on the board lmfao. im such a fking beginner
So just stand there without moving, with one leg on the board. Just stand there. Im a beginner who had a similar problem of it being kinda intimidating to even just cruise so that’s what I did lmao then once I got comfortable I would gently pump so I wouldn’t have too much speed and then try to balance on the one leg as long as I could. Although it’s been a week so you might not have this problem anymore but good luck! Hope you’re enjoying skating
It’s to scary for two feet on for me 💀
@@renidere you made me feel so much better. I thought I just have bad balancing and the only one struggling with this. I will try this tip! Thank you
I started 2 days ago, and can fully skate with one leg on the board, I trip on it a bunch, but the main thing I'd recommend is getting someone to be with you. It helps you feel a little more safe
@@fadedace1342 im on day 2 and i learned to do this todayy. also ik this was a while ago so i hope u learned some more stuff
This has to be hands down the best beginners vid. No extra stuff. Just all the basics needed to understand where first and where to next
I agree with Mr Madhatter. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far. After watching countless other videos, you’d swear that the ollie is the only thing you know to be either a beginner or a pro.
I turned 56 in May and bought a longboard last week to learn on. An ollie is the least of my worries…lol
This is the best intro skating video I’ve seen. It’s my second day learning to ride and this video has helped me progress pushing while riding
Hey dude i only just started yesterday and i was wondering if you’ve made alot of progress cuz u see this comment is from 6 months ago. If you could let me know it would be great. Thanks
@Don S hows ur progress bro its been a week
@@aidenmartins6965 how about now?? Its been six months
3:50 man had to redeem himself! 😆
LOVE THIS GUIDE! I got my skateboard last week, and I finally have time to use it, this helped so much! thanks!
I have just started doing skateboard and have watched some beginners videos and honestly this is the best so far!
The riding over cracks part is great advice!
The guy from the local shop suggested and sold me a Creature complete. I've been using it for about 2 months now with slow but good progress. I'm getting better at kickturn. PS, I turn 40 in November
I'm 22 and I've been practicing for 30 minutes on my days off work for a few weeks and just today I finally got to the point where I can actually ride it and not immediately lose balance
Hector Jaramillo happy birthday i think
Awesome 👍 good for you mate 🙂 I truly wish you the best of luck💯%
Me and my best mate spontaneously bought some boards today, good cruising around some Asda car park. This video is actually perfect to study like homework. Thanks guys
TYSM! I’ve been putting my feet on the four nails, but it was too hard to turn. Finally, some video tells me otherwise. This video also REALLY helped me to be able to push easier.
I have a problem with my confidence, its like I am afraid to fall during pushing and then someone loughs at me that's the only problem I got so far.
Confidence comes with practice. You'll get there! 💖 - Tim
Try pretending to walk, but like with one foot on the board
I fell off very badly on the first day of my learning, but now I can ride it pretty well and I have a good balance on the board. It's like, keep on doing it regularly, be comfortable on the board, and then all good to go.
Nice!!
Gotta love how I'm learning this just because of Sk8.
That aside, great video. The instructions were pretty clear and understandable for me. Can't wait to start practicing.
me too!! although i think i’d be exaggerating if i think i could do the tricks in sk8😭
as a beginner i really appreciate you going over ways to navigate uneven sidewalks and such. Ive found that to be one of the hardest parts to learn and nobody really talks about it!
I’m watching this bc I’m getting a skateboard for Xmas
Me 2!!!
niceee!! me too
Me 3!
Same!
good shit, i just got mine like a week ago but i’m still trying to learn lmaooo
Best tutorial video out. Before I try ANYTHING else on a skateboard I want to master these fundamentals. Ill spend hours just doing this so when i do tricks i don't have to worry about my balance and stuff. I'm 29 years young and I'm excited.
Go for it, bro! A 50 year old doodler can become a great artist the same as anyone else.
I’m 27 and starting this today as a roller skater lol how’s it going for you
honestly this stuff is so important. I remember in middle school starting out, we could hardly ride around, didn't ever feel comfortable on the board or be able to go off/up curbs and whatnot but we started trying for tricks right off the bat.. getting back into skating as an adult I find more fun in hauling ass and having good board control, flowing, feeling comfortable. Then the tricks came soo much more natural and easy.
i have wanted to skate for over 30 years, my goal is to learn b4 i hit 50... this vid has already after only 10 mins got me pushing off a couple of times and balancing, whilst repositioning my feet to the right placement... am stoked!
When I started skating I tried the slide test and I turned out as regular. But I'm actually more comfortable with goofy.
this is the same with me!!
I'm kind of the same. I'm more comfortable riding goofy, but only comfortable popping regular. Going to practice both I guess. Don't really have a choice
Same
yeah me too
@@thosearepinklemons yeah you're the exact same as me lmao shit is annoying, trick regular, ride well goofy
Lol I'm seeing comments from 5 months ago and I'm only learning now
Same i got mine for Christmas, im goofy wby
Joe angel Esquivel I’m goofy too and I got mine for Christmas too lol
Better late than never to start! Skateboarding is extremely hard but also extremely rewarding if you stick with it! Here to help if you need anything!
Same
@@earth2aariyel792 NICEEEE MAN
I've always held an interest to skateboarding but my mom threw out my brother's board before I even got to try. Now, at 22, I finally have my own board and am about to go out and try it! Thanks for the tips! You're video was extremely cohesive and easy to comprehend.
I got my first skateboard today at age 26 and I'm SO grateful for proper beginner tutorials like this to help me get started
Thanks :D I'm about to turn 33 and I'm fat. But I started yesterday. It's scary and I'm frail, but I'm still trying.
keep at it 👍🙂
I’m 32 and am just starting now!!
complete the mission brian!
How’d it go? I’m a bit scared to start, since I’m scared to get hurt
@@airu5424trust me ik how it feels I use to go off curbs do basics but last November (2022) (now late August 2023) I was hit by a truck on the way to work wasn't able to ride for a bit now trying to get use to it again and the fear still hits me tbh I'm scared to continue I have my basic skateboard, road board and my project board from before and I'm trying to continue but I won't ride again if I don't try
I literally found this video a month and a half ago and thought “that looks like fun” so I asked for a skateboard for Christmas and so I now have a skateboard,
and I am also a complete noob:D
How has it been?
Update
?
It’s been 6 months, how’s it going?
@@rajbalarathi7623 He died
I just bought a skateboard today and watched this video and now I can skate normally. I can't do the kick turns but I can now do everything else. Thank you very much!
Thanks. Was looking for a good basic first steps video since my son just got his first skateboard. Concise and clearly demonstrated. Understand a lot more after just a few minutes.
I haven't skated in years but I kept up with it. Watching these videos makes me wanna get a new board and at least roll around.
Do it! I’m just getting back into skating after taking an entire decade long hiatus. Feels good to come back to it.
@@Bad4bizbrad I got one 😬😬😬😬
Update :)
Just got my board and was having a tough time pushing and riding. Turns out I had the wrong stance. Now I want to go skate more. Damn you. Jk: Love the video.
Thank you SO much! This is the most detailed tutorial I’ve seen.
No like begging, no discord pushing, no virtue signaling, just teaching and fun. Gonna go try these out, hopefully you don't mind me archiving your vid.
Only OG's remember the original video from 2 hours ago
LOL
Breuh
Bought my first Deck 2 Day ago in the age of 26. I'm really proud of it,
Thank you for the good advice in this Video!
Good rolling everyone! 👍
Thank you for the tutorial. I am turning 37 next week and I just started practicing how to skateboard. :) I'm excited to get better at this. Cheers.
Great video.. I started skateboarding at 43 and I am 45 now. I now able able to jump over curbs.. slow learning!
In all of the skateboard videos I’ve seen, the teachers are really nice and that really encourages me!!
I've been learning to skate and its alot harder than it looks lol, I have developed a new appreciation for skaters
This is the best, most direct, and still kind-to-beginners video I have ever seen, thank you so much!!
I can’t wait for the snow to melt to finally do what I have always wanted to begin 🥺
Yaaaa same ikr
angling the front foot while pushing is what helped me the most. the experts talking about pointing the front foot straight ahead forgot how hard it was to learn balancing for beginners
wait so straight or 30° angle?
@@tobydude7462 not necessarily 30 degrees, but definitely angled. At least for me, when my front foot is straight, it's harder to balance while pushing
I did that and I fell and tore three ligaments in my ankle 😭😩 maybe I didn’t do it right though lol
I know how to skate been at it for 15 years its always good to get somone elses perspective after so long thanks bud.
I don't think I've ever commented on a TH-cam video. But I just got my board and this video was genuinely very helpful. Also I already fell and smacked my knee against the curb. But getting up and going back at it is also part of the joy. 25 and learning!
Him: need plain road
Indian roads: BRUH
Edit: omg thanks for so many likes!
Yes😭
Bangladeshi roads:hehe boi you dead
trueeeee
i found sidewalks to be the best. roads make my feet all vibratey
Malaysian road says hi
“In no time” or you know, several months.
I just started and i gotta say that the loosening of the bolt under the wheel helped a lot...i didnt know at all...so thanks.
EVERYONE KEEP WORKING HARD!!!!!!
Learning at 33 and this video made me feel more at ease.
are you good now?
Thanks for the vid dude, I just got given a second hand bored and this video has helped a lot, after about an hour, I could do everything you said in the video, I rlly appreciate it
This is Brilliant. Clear and calm.
Imo this is by far the best How to skateboard video on youtube
1:59 dude in 99 tank. Fricken scoots get the heck out .. I know the absolute frustration.
Fr homie acts like it’s his backyard
Thanks! I started skateboarding a week ago and I'm not as bad as I thought i would be. I'm learning how to pivot/kickturn currently. And I havent fell yet 😳
I haven't fell too😂my first time and I am already getting the hang of it
The Best video I have seen so far for beginners.
i literally just got my first board yesterday with no experience whatsoever, and when i try to stand on it i keep getting scared and almost trip and fall. and then when i keep trying to push i end up almost falling head first into concrete. but like fr tysm this is so helpful
It’s so weird. When my friend taught me how to ride a skateboard, I was regular but than when I got my own I switched to goofy so I know how to ride both but better at goofy 😂
Same, but the other way around. I still ride ripsticks goofy, though.
So good to see quite a few “older” people skating instead of feeling like it’s really a teenage/early twenties thing. I’m 43 myself and ordered my first board which should arrive this week. I can’t wait to especially jump ONTO a curb and not per se off them.
I know muscle pain will haunt me for a while though lol since I don’t exercise whatsoever. I can see myself now carrying groceries in both hands, balanced in weight and weeeeeee back home I go 😆
I literally can not get enough of this channel, your info is always so helpful
Thanks, thats honestly the best start up tips I’ve found yet
This is a really good video. Tnx for all the tips. I bought a skateboard like a year ago and gave up on it cuz i always lost balance when trying to turn. This makes me wanna try again 😊
This will hopefully help me to learn to skateboard after watching this! Wish me luck 🍀
I’m actually about to buy my own skateboard in a few days, pretty excited. I’m also the goofy stance! I just tested out a skateboard yesterday and I already got the hang of turning and kick turns in about 4-5 minutes, in my opinion skateboarding is really fun. Wish me luck!
This and Brialle's tutorial are the best out of all vids ive seen. thx XD
I’ve been learning on goofy and just found out I’m actually a regular ._.
Like its so much easier for me
Boi
Super helpful! This was my first time literally ever picking up a board and I was confidently moving (a few feet at a time lol) within 20 minutes!
I loved skateboarding as a kid & was pretty decent at it. I'm excited at my older age to get back at it. It was always so much fun!!
This is best instruction video I found, thank you!
Most useful beginners video out there 👍
This is the best skating tutorial I’ve seen!
32 and bought my first board today! I'll be coming back to this video a lot
thank you for this
It’s never too late to start and if you want to get better never give up. Also never let anyone deter you from what you wanna do. I had a lot of anxiety about people judging me for how bad i am at my age (I’m 26 and newb). Remember everyone learns at a different pace don’t be discouraged if you don’t make progress as quickly as you want just keep working on it and you’ll accomplish whatever you set out to do. You will likely fall at some point so there’s absolutely no shame in wearing pads or a helmet. Have fun. Love y’all.
