I know a lot of you who subscribe to me already know how to skateboard but this video is meant to live here on TH-cam forever for anyone who is learning or just getting started! So share this with your friends who just got their skateboard and hopefully this will kick start their journey! But remember!!! The most important thing is consistency! So keep practicing and don’t give up! 🖤
I've started skateboard 3 months ago, i like how you explain how to do tricks with a nice calming voice, since now i can do small ollies and manuals thanks to your videos and i hope i can learn more tricks :D
I’ve been trying to learn how to skateboard since for two years now but my only issue is that I’m embarrassed to skate in public. I feel humiliated because I’m a complete beginner. I never realized how difficult it is to leave your comfort zone update : got the skateboard and am gonna go skate with a friend whos gonna inline skate but hey at least we are skating together 👍👍
It is, I complete agree with you. Try going early to the park, there less people at that hour, or, if you have the chance, clear a small space, at least good enough to practice your ollie
@@tbh_feavzz nah you don't suck, you're just inexperienced, and we all are to our own extent. Also don't let the public embarrassment deter you from skating in public. Learn to enjoy skating for yourself, not for others, it'll also help you greatly to keep skating even when you have no one to skate with. When I first started skating, I fell off my board many times in public over the smallest thing, going down a driveway I would get so scared halfway down and I would jump off my board and end up tripping in front of strangers, an old lady once thought I was mentally insane because I hit a pebble and fell on my back really hard but all I did was laugh while laying on the ground for a few minutes in pain from the impact, but I learned to enjoy skating no matter how terrible I may be at it. Skating and just cruising around in public also indirectly teaches you one key role to improving at anything, learning to be comfortable stepping out of your comfort zone. Enough ranting from me, y'all keep skating 👌
The thing is, if you are polite and don’t cut people off and stuff like that, people will be supportive and nice, 99 percent of the time people are focusing on their own stuff and don’t really care what you are doing, so just go to a skatepark and practice :)
The absolute number 1 tip for newbie skaters is to BEND YOUR KNEES. By bending your knees you are also applying pressure to your board making it so that you actually STICK to the board without falling off. Not only that but EVERY SINGLE TRICK quite literally requires you to BEND YOUR KNEES. I see a lot of Skateboard tutorials forgot to mention this crucial tip.
True af. Ive been strugglin with ollies while moving and I just never been told to bend knees on landing, tried it and now its getting better and better
Another good tip is you don’t have to rush into tricks. Just spend time cruising. The more comfortable you are on the board the easier some tricks will be. Also a good way to get used to the the board changing high or dropping is to practice riding down curbs. Always start small even if you think its too easy start small and build from there. Also take time to rest too taking care of ur body is just as important.
I always wanted to learn how to skate, but didn’t. Now I’m 28, and I’m at my second day. Don’t be discouraged if you’re older 🤘 Thanks for the video, it was really helpful 😊
This has been great man. I just started skating again after 17 years and two torn Achilles tendons. My ex wife told the kids I use to skate and for them to ask me to teach them thinking I wouldn't do it. But I went out the same day and got all three of us decent boards.. I have never seen them so Into an active sport and that's really made me want to get back into it. Keep these videos up they have watched it atleast 10 times each to try and learn.
@@savannahjones2718 it really sucked lol. I had to completely re learn how to walk and then once back to work my.jobs idea of light duty was to have me walk the lot all day and check cars in... So they never healed properly. Went to the park last night and I am still able to push around a little wobbly but I'll get it back. Tricks are out of the question for now. I just want the kids to know they can do it. So I'll deal with the pain.
Wavy i fell trying to learn how to drop in i broke my tail bone it took me 2 weeks for me to feel better to move well without limping i found your videos the day i got hurt u inspired me to get back up and to skate again
good job bro! i sprained my wrist dropping in but i got up and tried again! over time you’ll get more confident and i hope you become an amazing skater!
When you drop in just lean over it and then keep like 80% of the weight on your front foot and keep your front foot a little behind the front bolts and as long as you shift your weight like I said there’s no way you’ll fall! You got this, just do not lean back!
Yeah I lost my balance and tried to stop, the board came out from under me and I landed on my ankle and sprained it really bad. I was more disappointed I couldn't practice then being injured. Fortunately after 3 days I'm feeling a lot better and still itchy to get back out there.
@@waffles658 if you were maybe a few hours early, I might've not played that basketball game and re-sprain my ankle 🤦♂️. This time I'm actually going to wait till it's healed, thanks waffles
I used to skate a lot in my teen years I’m 32 now and anyone here looking for advice as an older returning skater stretches are your friend….good video bud
Good tip! I am 35 and have two kids. I started roller skating last year and I have improved so much in just a year that now I want to try skateboarding. The stretching and bending my knees before roller skating help me a lot, I feel way more capable when I remember to stretch. My only worry with skateboarding is I am wondering how risky it will be to really injure myself.
I’m a 16y old ballet dancer and I REALLY want to try skating but I’m afraid of falling and never be able to dance again😕 Amazing video though!! Keep up bro! Edit(3/3/23): today I bought my first skate! I really wanted to thank you for this cause without this video I would have never done it❤️
Just know your limits and work your way up to the really hard stuff. People only really get hurt because they’re skipping steps and jumping too far ahead! So take it one step at a time and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
Μην σε ανησυχει τοσο, αυτο που ειπε ειναι αν τα παρεις απο την αρχη και μαθαινεις σιγα σιγα θα εισαι ενταξει, θα σου αρεσει παρα πολυ οταν αρχισεις να μαθαινεις καινουρια πραγματα, λιγο χτυπας που και που αλλα δεν ειναι κατι
As a beginner, I always feel embarrassed when people look at me trying to skate, I look stupid cause I’m a noob. Especially when I fail or fall, I hope I can skate to school after holidays without feeling embarrassed
Stay strong brother. Just got my new skateboard as well and when i fell people laughed at me. Don't worry about what people do because if they tried to do it they'd probably fall as well
I’ve been skating for close to 5 years myself and I still love watching these videos/shorts of yours. You’ve just got such a good vibe. It makes me proud to be a skater.
I´m 23 and had never skate in my life, since my father died I decided to start doing things I would never do and live my life, today I bought my first skateboard and after I finish some lab reports I´m going to the park to practice, this video looks really helpful. I hope at the end of the year I at least can go to my girlfriends house using my skateboard.
For people who are scared to go to a skate park, I can assure you that every person there has felt that same thing and been in your position when they’re just starting to learn. Another thing that can help is to get a friend to go with you so that way it takes the nerves away from
First of all, the grip tape looks so damn good, i wish it wasn’t sold out. Started skating two days ago, got my first board on Christmas and holy mother of god, I always thought it was easy for some reason, I still have to learn how to balance while moving with it without falling. Thank you for this, I appreciate it.
0:07 nobody else is commenting on this, so I will. I'm sitting at my desk with a sprained ankle studying to become a great skater starting as a novice. I've got my very first manga book in front of me - My Hero Academia Volume 31. I open this video, and at the time stamp, I see a Dabi board. Rather ironic, isn't it?
@@Classicsunky2 Thanks for your comment, I was confused about what I commented at first, but I remember it now. I haven't devoted much time to my boarding skills as of late, as I've been busy with school and such. However, your comment takes me back to my carefree days and now I've got the motivation to make time for skateboarding again. Thanks :)
TH-cam recommended me a couple of your shorts, subscribed. Idk what it is, but the atmosphere in your videos is just really comfortable and has a sense of familiarity, feels like I'm hanging out with a super chill old friend. Got my first ever board yesterday, spent the evening practicing balancing, pushing and stuff. In an hour I went from being unable to stand on a board to going down a little hill turning left and right. I'm having an absolute blast with skating, my only regret is not having tried it out sooner. Gonna watch more of your videos and keep improving 💪🏼
I recently watched sk8 infinity and really wanted to give skating a try, my birthday is in 2 months and I'm copping a nice board of good quality. I'll 100% come back to this vid to learn skating once again. Also subscribing cause I love your vibe and your teaching style :D
i started picking up skateboarding again after a decade + more years. i started skating when i was in highschool, it was just for about a month then i got injured and stopped. now i'm reaching my 30s but i don't want to regret not picking it up again. i struggle as i gained a lot of weight but i will keep on going!
I just got my first skateboard three days ago and I can Ollie while riding a bit and I almost can pop shaving while riding. By now I am pretty comfortable with my skateboard and I don’t even care about going to skateparks. I always laugh when I fall😂
I started skating when I was about 7 years old, I remember seeing my brother doing kick flips on his skate board. I rode around the closest flat Area near my neighbourhood. I could only go forward, I gave up only after buying it because I knew it would be to hard. It’s been 5 years later and I’ve decided to have another go and this time not give up so this video really helped me to understand the basics.
I used to skate but my board was crap and got stolen, got a new one and I immediately ate concrete. I put a big ol bandaid on my elbow and kept going :)
Love it man. Definitely agree that if you can make it, going into a skate shop is a must. The crew at my shop are all so chill and super excited to help more people get into skating.
Hi!, I'm 45 years old now and slowly learning all of this again. I really find your videos helpful as I watch and learn again and at the same time teach my 7 year old daughter. More power to you!
Hey Wavy can you please do a full part 2 about getting comfortable on your board because I’m having a really hard time getting comfortable on my skateboard.
I would say learning to get comfortable on your board is to really just cruise around on it, get used to how it feels, I just cruise around my college campus because there’s so many types of terrain, hope that helps!
I got my board around 3 years ago, I’m still a beginner, I haven’t gotten on it in a year, I plan on going back to the park I just wish I had more skater friends
i just started thanks for the advice edit: my dad used to skate as a teenager so he helped me earlier as today is my first day, because i got my first board today
just started at 23 after getting my own board at new years :) because i surfed and snowboarded going forward isn't too hard but man am i scared of doing anything more! thanks for showing the basics well, now i can practice them until i feel more comfortable!!
literally everyone in college told me to start skating because i look "chill af", but i didn't want to look like a poser and infiltrate/mimic/or even mock a subculture so i always turned it down but now i finally gave in (after finding a ripndip t shirt in a thrift shop for 5 bucks, i see this as a divine calling)
I have been skateboarding for almost 2 years and when I started I didn’t fall it’s like I was born for it now I’m learning how to do a pop shove it the landings are so hard 😂
I asked for a Skateboard for Christmas cause I wanted to learn. My Sister's BF got me one from a skate shop called Zumiez, it's nice quality and I love the design! I've been following you since October and I'm ready to learn.
Zumiez is fine but shop local!! Everyone is really nice and way more invested in helping you because they care more about skating and having you come back as a repeat customer

the reason why they use the term goofy is that the cartoon character called goofy used a surf board with right foot forward so people started calling it goofy (ps its goofy from micky mouse)
This encouraged me to start practicing over the weekends and when I have free time, since I've had a skateboard for a year now and I've been too scared to try it
yo, thanks for this video, i hit a stoprock in december and couldnt skate or run for like 3 months bc of surgery. so its time to learn how to do this stuff again
I watched CallMeKevin's skateboarding video and now youtube's like "OH HERE YOU GO MORE VIDS ABOUT SKATEBOARDING". I never touched a skateboard before. I am not complaining
I’m 17 and I chose this vid cuz of the Isagi (I think) board and honestly this way of breaking down the basics helped a ton, def gonna find parks next to me to try stuff out
Thanks I needed this, it help me a lot and hopefully It will help more people. I really like your videos, is like learning skateboarding with a good old friend. And i thank you for all your videos!
I would not jump on my board before knowing how to push just to check if I’m goofy or regular… you can easily slip and fall like that and might give up skating immediately!
I tried to learn how to skate a while ago but it just didn’t click, but I just picked it up today and although my form is questionable I can balance on the skate board and push myself
I'd love to start skating it's like one of my dreams I even bought a skateboard but the thing is that I don't have any flat concrete place near my house or even in my town and it's ruining everything :')
This video was really helpful cause i've been thinking about starting to skate this summer, and i figured imma just drop a small tip even though i havent even skated yet. When i was younger i used to rollerskate, and by not looking down at my feet as much it got a lot easier. Basically just keep your eyes up and go with the flow and focus on getting the balance. If it's not the same with skateboarding or i'm wrong in any way please correct me! 😅
Hi I'm a beginner, I just bought my skateboard yesterday and I want to go to a better place to go and practice oh and I got my first off balance yesterday you see my left leg kinda land in the wrong balance but I'm ok though 👍
@@Rdubs_ Its actually doing great, I know how to balance on my board and stuff like that but I can't do an ollie for the LIFE of me. My timing is off but thats really my only issue
Bro I fractured my wrist when i fell while skateboarding, and every time I have a little fall, I automatically think I broke my wrist again. And it’s really hard on me when I try my Ollie’s. Stay safe guys!❤
I started to skate like a year ago. I was unemployed and had nothing to do with my life so I just picked up skateboarding. It was fun. I skate everyday until I'm eventually burned out. Then I got a job and completely ditched all my skating stuff. Then after almost a year, I picked up my skateboard again and surprisingly my balance is still good. I can still cruise around my neighborhood with no problem at all. I might actually do it seriously now but of course only on my day off. Not trying to get burned out again.
I have been trying to get my first Ollie and I kinda did it but not very high lol and right now I'm dealing with panic attacks so I can't really go outside because of how scared I am :(
I just found an abandoned Skateboard like an hour ago and im planning on starting to learn once i get it fixed up (the wheels are pretty old and the board seems to have some water damage and is kinda splintery)
one thing to mention: if you have the money, a longboard is much easier to learn to roll around, but learning on a skate style board is more rewarding to learn on if youre going into skateboarding
another great way to find out if ur regular or goofy is think of how u would ride a scooter when u where younger. i always so used to riding with my right foot first and sense skating its just always been more comfortable!
I'm 3 days in and you think just riding around for a couple hours a day will be good? I've tried to ollie and am kinda getting the hang of it already but cant land a clean one.
I didn’t know anything about skateboarding until I saw this, I love the video and thirty-forty minutes of practice and now I learned to turn (but not to good) I love this video.
I've been practicing my first few times on a smooth floor in the basement so far. I'm very new to skateboarding, and find that the board rolls veeery easily whenever I step on or off. Here, the board looks quite stable while you're doing various feet positioning at around the 9:00 mark. Is it my floor being very slippery, or Wavy being super good at countering the board's tiny movements?
i think its just getting used to the tiny movements and keeping your legs/feet still on the board, im not very good but i just learned to ollie while moving.
@@Th4r1anP4ws Well, I'd like to, but I haven't found any good place for a 36yo to learn this properly alone without looking absolutely silly. So no, it's just sitting there, collecting dust... :(
Hey Yung wavy, Im new to skating so where can I skate where there is smoothish concrete and no people around?? My driveway is super rocky to skate on! Thanks!
skateboarding is a very public hobby, though it may seem intimidating at first the best places to skate are skateparks and they will most likely be busy. hit them early in the morning or in the night if you’re intimidated by others but just know that everyone is very welcoming and very helpful! :)
I agree with what the guy says in the video, don't get skateboards from walmart or target. Get them from a local skate shop. surf shops usually have skateboards too. A place i go to that i like is called waterboys. They have surf equipment, tons of skateboards, skate camp, skate park, they can also build a skateboard for you. They have a cafe and everything For shoes, i would say Vans are the best option, its what most skaters use, it has a strong sole that can handle the street and the skateboard without splitting, its just awesome.
I use Adidas or Nike is that good for skateboarding because I used them always do that I use underarm is so good and it gives me good grip I can do for you I can do a kick flip for you teaching me because I kept on doing it every year and I just kept on and kept on and kept on so thank you very much I love your videos I am a subscriber and I liked I I comment and I am Ronald Hugo so just telling you I’m good love you bro
I've been skateboarding since the 6th grade. I'm gonna start the 10th grade in the Fall and I can only Ollie. I've been trying and trying but I can't 180 I can't Shuv-it I can't Kickflip and I can't Heelflip 😭
broooo, you are trying to go way too fast man. dont try more advanced tricks when you cant ollie. try get more comfortable cruising around on the board, work on the basics, get them down and then go onto kickflips and heelflips

@@Classicsunky2 Thanks for your comment, I was confused about what I commented at first, but I remember it now. I haven't devoted much time to my boarding skills as of late, as I've been busy with school and such. However, your comment takes me back to my carefree days and now I've got the motivation to make time for skateboarding again. Thanks :)
Thank you wavy for the ollie tip, "snap the board backwards." it unlocked the start of it and i might be able ollie soon
TH-cam recommended me a couple of your shorts, subscribed. Idk what it is, but the atmosphere in your videos is just really comfortable and has a sense of familiarity, feels like I'm hanging out with a super chill old friend.
Got my first ever board yesterday, spent the evening practicing balancing, pushing and stuff. In an hour I went from being unable to stand on a board to going down a little hill turning left and right. I'm having an absolute blast with skating, my only regret is not having tried it out sooner. Gonna watch more of your videos and keep improving 💪🏼
I recently watched sk8 infinity and really wanted to give skating a try, my birthday is in 2 months and I'm copping a nice board of good quality. I'll 100% come back to this vid to learn skating once again. Also subscribing cause I love your vibe and your teaching style :D
Happy early birthday!
@@averyzh tysm!
You got a board yet bro?
@@vince8684 oh im going out to buy it tmrw, will give an update!
@@shubaan sick dude, how’d it go?
i started picking up skateboarding again after a decade + more years. i started skating when i was in highschool, it was just for about a month then i got injured and stopped. now i'm reaching my 30s but i don't want to regret not picking it up again. i struggle as i gained a lot of weight but i will keep on going!
I just got my first skateboard three days ago and I can Ollie while riding a bit and I almost can pop shaving while riding. By now I am pretty comfortable with my skateboard and I don’t even care about going to skateparks. I always laugh when I fall😂
I started skating when I was about 7 years old, I remember seeing my brother doing kick flips on his skate board. I rode around the closest flat Area near my neighbourhood. I could only go forward, I gave up only after buying it because I knew it would be to hard. It’s been 5 years later and I’ve decided to have another go and this time not give up so this video really helped me to understand the basics.
I started skating yesterday and I felt like everyone is watching and judging me 💀
Also had a great time falling on my knees💀
I used to skate but my board was crap and got stolen, got a new one and I immediately ate concrete. I put a big ol bandaid on my elbow and kept going :)
I'm back after a 2 year break and I fell right on my back today 😭😭 gotta love it tho
35 year old here about to learn skating as a new year's resolution!
Still going?
How’s it going?
You've encouraged me to start skating again after months of not trying, thanks
Love it man. Definitely agree that if you can make it, going into a skate shop is a must. The crew at my shop are all so chill and super excited to help more people get into skating.
I use to skateboard back 16yrs ago I stopped in my late teens. This video really helps get back into it thank you
Hi!, I'm 45 years old now and slowly learning all of this again. I really find your videos helpful as I watch and learn again and at the same time teach my 7 year old daughter. More power to you!
Your vids are my fave. Your chill and fearlessness makes me feel chill and fearless with it. Never stop skating!
I just wanna thank you yung wavy for inspiring me to start skating a while back 🤝❤️
Hey Wavy can you please do a full part 2 about getting comfortable on your board because I’m having a really hard time getting comfortable on my skateboard.
I agree
I would say learning to get comfortable on your board is to really just cruise around on it, get used to how it feels, I just cruise around my college campus because there’s so many types of terrain, hope that helps!
I got my board around 3 years ago, I’m still a beginner, I haven’t gotten on it in a year, I plan on going back to the park I just wish I had more skater friends
i just started thanks for the advice
edit: my dad used to skate as a teenager so he helped me earlier as today is my first day, because i got my first board today
I definitely recommend this video to people getting started .
just started at 23 after getting my own board at new years :) because i surfed and snowboarded going forward isn't too hard but man am i scared of doing anything more! thanks for showing the basics well, now i can practice them until i feel more comfortable!!
literally everyone in college told me to start skating because i look "chill af", but i didn't want to look like a poser and infiltrate/mimic/or even mock a subculture so i always turned it down but now i finally gave in (after finding a ripndip t shirt in a thrift shop for 5 bucks, i see this as a divine calling)
I have been skateboarding for almost 2 years and when I started I didn’t fall it’s like I was born for it now I’m learning how to do a pop shove it the landings are so hard 😂
I asked for a Skateboard for Christmas cause I wanted to learn. My Sister's BF got me one from a skate shop called Zumiez, it's nice quality and I love the design! I've been following you since October and I'm ready to learn.
Zumiez is fine but shop local!! Everyone is really nice and way more invested in helping you because they care more about skating and having you come back as a repeat customer

the reason why they use the term goofy is that the cartoon character called goofy used a surf board with right foot forward so people started calling it goofy (ps its goofy from micky mouse)
About to start soon, just saving up for a good board, can’t wait.
This encouraged me to start practicing over the weekends and when I have free time, since I've had a skateboard for a year now and I've been too scared to try it
I’ve just found a new hobby and it’s skateboarding, I’ve been starting it on a longboard but I’m buying a skateboard soon.
The only reason I picked up skating after I got hurt 1 month ago was because of you and your vids and just today I finally got the slappy nose slide
I was considering if I wanted to try skateboarding or not so when I saw your video, it encouraged me to try! Thanks for all the tips!
yo, thanks for this video, i hit a stoprock in december and couldnt skate or run for like 3 months bc of surgery. so its time to learn how to do this stuff again
50, & gotta keep a promise to my friend that passed that id learn to do a few things i regret not learning 35 years ago. Wish me luck
Getting my first skateboard this friday.. Kinda nervous but the vibe of this video is really informative! Thanks for explaining so calmly ^^!
I like what you doing bringing people to the skate family skate community and your videos are so realxing
Today I did the splits on accident while skating, I’m pretty flexible so I was fine but I feel bad if it was anyone else 😅
I watched CallMeKevin's skateboarding video and now youtube's like "OH HERE YOU GO MORE VIDS ABOUT SKATEBOARDING". I never touched a skateboard before. I am not complaining
I’m 17 and I chose this vid cuz of the Isagi (I think) board and honestly this way of breaking down the basics helped a ton, def gonna find parks next to me to try stuff out
Thanks I needed this, it help me a lot and hopefully It will help more people. I really like your videos, is like learning skateboarding with a good old friend. And i thank you for all your videos!
This is gonna help a ton of ppl 🖤
This is the most chill dude Ive ever seen
Im a 15 year old kid i feel old its crazy you just gave me comfort to skate🙏😸
I would not jump on my board before knowing how to push just to check if I’m goofy or regular… you can easily slip and fall like that and might give up skating immediately!
I tried to learn how to skate a while ago but it just didn’t click, but I just picked it up today and although my form is questionable I can balance on the skate board and push myself
Your my hero academia dabi board is awesome, I recognised the eyes and around them
Im 15 and considering buying a board, so this video is super helpful! I hope im not too old to start but ill try my best anyways
Your videos motivated me to start skating and I’m loving it 😊
I'd love to start skating it's like one of my dreams I even bought a skateboard but the thing is that I don't have any flat concrete place near my house or even in my town and it's ruining everything :')
This video was really helpful cause i've been thinking about starting to skate this summer, and i figured imma just drop a small tip even though i havent even skated yet. When i was younger i used to rollerskate, and by not looking down at my feet as much it got a lot easier. Basically just keep your eyes up and go with the flow and focus on getting the balance. If it's not the same with skateboarding or i'm wrong in any way please correct me! 😅
Hi I'm a beginner, I just bought my skateboard yesterday and I want to go to a better place to go and practice oh and I got my first off balance yesterday you see my left leg kinda land in the wrong balance but I'm ok though 👍
Bro thank you SO SO much for this vid. That helped me damn much dude
I haven't buy skateboard yet but im saving my money for it, ill make this into my new hobby fr
Having a dabi skateboard really is good motivation for getting my a$$ up and start skating
thank you so much for this tutorial, this actually seems pretty helpful when I start teaching myself how tomorrow. respect bro
How’s it going?
@@Rdubs_ Its actually doing great, I know how to balance on my board and stuff like that but I can't do an ollie for the LIFE of me. My timing is off but thats really my only issue
That’s awesome. Keep going man
I’ve been skating for about a week and I Alr had a bad fall, I literally can’t move my shoulder
Bro I fractured my wrist when i fell while skateboarding, and every time I have a little fall, I automatically think I broke my wrist again. And it’s really hard on me when I try my Ollie’s. Stay safe guys!❤
Following your tutorial videos & it's helping me a lot, gracias mate ❤️
Yo this helped a bunch and really like all the stuff you do!
Its good to start as a kid
I started to skate like a year ago. I was unemployed and had nothing to do with my life so I just picked up skateboarding. It was fun. I skate everyday until I'm eventually burned out. Then I got a job and completely ditched all my skating stuff. Then after almost a year, I picked up my skateboard again and surprisingly my balance is still good. I can still cruise around my neighborhood with no problem at all. I might actually do it seriously now but of course only on my day off. Not trying to get burned out again.
Very nice informative video just subbed and started skating again after 20 years. Have a blessed day.
Guess imma goofy skater 😂
U really help with my skateboarding this is the best skateboarding video yet!
I’m about to hit my local park with all these tips and tricks 🧠 thank youuuuu
I have been trying to get my first Ollie and I kinda did it but not very high lol and right now I'm dealing with panic attacks so I can't really go outside because of how scared I am :(
And one time I messed up outside and the other more experienced skaters laughed at me
@@wafflekatsad cruel world I was good years ago stepped on one recently and can't remember how to ollie
This is so encouraging it inspires me and makes me see skateboarding as a feat I can in fact conquer :D thank you!
I just found an abandoned Skateboard like an hour ago and im planning on starting to learn once i get it fixed up (the wheels are pretty old and the board seems to have some water damage and is kinda splintery)
7:47 the way bro managed to roll that entire time
Nice vid bro, keep up the good work!!👍👍
DAY 1: I brought new skateboard. I tried it and fall. But I'll keep trying.
one thing to mention:
if you have the money, a longboard is much easier to learn to roll around, but learning on a skate style board is more rewarding to learn on if youre going into skateboarding
another great way to find out if ur regular or goofy is think of how u would ride a scooter when u where younger. i always so used to riding with my right foot first and sense skating its just always been more comfortable!
I'm 3 days in and you think just riding around for a couple hours a day will be good? I've tried to ollie and am kinda getting the hang of it already but cant land a clean one.
Just enjoy the skateboarding process.:) it doesn't matter what you do and which way you do the tricks:)
Just got my first board yesterday and this was really helpful
I didn’t know anything about skateboarding until I saw this, I love the video and thirty-forty minutes of practice and now I learned to turn (but not to good) I love this video.
I've been practicing my first few times on a smooth floor in the basement so far. I'm very new to skateboarding, and find that the board rolls veeery easily whenever I step on or off.
Here, the board looks quite stable while you're doing various feet positioning at around the 9:00 mark.
Is it my floor being very slippery, or Wavy being super good at countering the board's tiny movements?
i think its just getting used to the tiny movements and keeping your legs/feet still on the board, im not very good but i just learned to ollie while moving.
hey r u still skating? Any updates after 1 yr?
@@Th4r1anP4ws Well, I'd like to, but I haven't found any good place for a 36yo to learn this properly alone without looking absolutely silly. So no, it's just sitting there, collecting dust... :(
@gamerjema243 awh you should hop back on! Even a road will be okay. Find a road or a driveway is an area people don't go in :)
@@Th4r1anP4ws Thanks! Might hunt a little for a suitable place again come spring. Maybe on a sunday morning haha
Hey Yung wavy, Im new to skating so where can I skate where there is smoothish concrete and no people around?? My driveway is super rocky to skate on! Thanks!
Look for parklots or empty skateparks
Go outside man 🤘🏽
skateboarding is a very public hobby, though it may seem intimidating at first the best places to skate are skateparks and they will most likely be busy. hit them early in the morning or in the night if you’re intimidated by others but just know that everyone is very welcoming and very helpful! :)
I agree with what the guy says in the video, don't get skateboards from walmart or target. Get them from a local skate shop. surf shops usually have skateboards too. A place i go to that i like is called waterboys. They have surf equipment, tons of skateboards, skate camp, skate park, they can also build a skateboard for you. They have a cafe and everything
For shoes, i would say Vans are the best option, its what most skaters use, it has a strong sole that can handle the street and the skateboard without splitting, its just awesome.
I use Adidas or Nike is that good for skateboarding because I used them always do that I use underarm is so good and it gives me good grip I can do for you I can do a kick flip for you teaching me because I kept on doing it every year and I just kept on and kept on and kept on so thank you very much I love your videos I am a subscriber and I liked I I comment and I am Ronald Hugo so just telling you I’m good love you bro
I've been skateboarding since the 6th grade. I'm gonna start the 10th grade in the Fall and I can only Ollie. I've been trying and trying but I can't 180 I can't Shuv-it I can't Kickflip and I can't Heelflip 😭
broooo, you are trying to go way too fast man. dont try more advanced tricks when you cant ollie. try get more comfortable cruising around on the board, work on the basics, get them down and then go onto kickflips and heelflips
My dream is to skate with you 🥖🥖
I am trying to skate right now! Working on my balance and push, and man is it fun!! I hope I have the preservernce to keep going!!
