- Answering The Most Asked Skateboarding Questions
I always seem to see the same few comments from a ton of different people. Well today, I finally address those questions and hopefully help out those of you who have some questions about the basics of skateboarding. I know a lot of you will think these are a little dumb, but we all start somewhere and this knowledge is great to have when you're first starting out.
Let me know if you have any questions that I didn't answer in this video.
As always, thank you for watching, and I'll see you next time :)

Single most asked question when skating down a street
“Hey, do a kickflip”
I literally got asked that this morning skating into school and I only had a month and a half experience 🤣
I would like it but it’s already at 69...
Not even a question
@@lukefalconer4903 today was my 2nd day and some random guy in a car already asked
Fharid Valencia Happened to me on day 16. Lol.
"You're never too old for this shit."
Me, 42, started a few weeks ago, everything hurts ;-)
doesn't matter your age. It is because you don't have the leg and other muscles developed for skateboarding yet. Skate often, stretch after each session and after a few more weeks you won't feel that sore anymore.
I’m Gucci.
I started skating about 2 months ago and I could barley lift up my legs the first week
When I first started skating I didn't like riding long distances but all my friends that skated for years would skate around like 15 miles a day which was hard for me to do but with consistancy it became easy and I enjoy skating with my friends no matter the distance. So just keep at it and you'll get better and more use to it even if you don't feel like you are
I'm 15 and i only started skating about 1year ago, but with consistency I can ollie, pop shuv, varial, kickflip. Just keep at it practice as much as you can and I have no doubt you'll get some sick tricks🤙
Commitment issues. It's all starting to make sense.
Fr bro
Oh yeah, its all coming together
They do be vibin doe
I have committed issue all because I don't wanna get hurt but of course you get hurt
I see u everywhere
I'm scared of looking like an idiot while practicing and I dont feel comfortable when just riding around. I have a skateboard since last year but I'm too embarrased to go out...
Peter Pan we all look like idiots when practicing in the beginning nobody will take the piss out of you (and if they do they're just being dicks) so get out there and don't give a fuck buddy!
I'm a 41 year old and skated for the past 2 years. I had the same issues until I said who cares? And true enough, nobody did.
Thanks guys! :) I'll try to give less fucks in the future!
Dude, that literally used to be me a couple of weeks ago. My advice: overcome your fear and just do it. You will be surprised how liberating it feels. Fuck what people think. You do what makes you happy
I started skating about a year ago, I still feel the same way when everyone stares at me, just ignore the negative comments, most of them don’t even skate fam.
"Do a kickflip"
~Every poser
Oh no... I just did that yesterday...
I'M A POSER D:
Tony hawk:
Not true kid
I'm starting to think you guys don't know what a poser is..
Not a poser, probably an asshole though.
"If you've cracked your board, it's probably time to get a new one"
Hmmm... didn't know that, thanks.
I didn't know that. I've been skating with the same skateboard since 1992 and now I'm gonna buy a new one
@@alienguyfromspace2147 really ...? -.-
I can tell purple fire doesent skate
@@notpaulnovak8250 r/wooosh
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
Why do people only say “do a kick flip” instead of any other trick?
Kick Flip is what everyone knows basically
its the most well known trick outside of the skate community
Because it's the only trick they know, obviously
I'm just glad people dont go around saying "do a switch laser" but genuinely surprised that not as many say "do a 3 flip" like they do with kickflips lol
Where them pop shuvits at,
the commitment/fear one is so true and i cant stress that enough to new skaters including myself. i didnt try an ollie on concrete on the first two weeks of learning and when i finally tried with full commitment i actually landed it. One thing that helped is recording your progess, id record my grass ollies and slow them down to see if i was doing the movements right, and it feels really good knowing you did an ollie and just didnt land right so you can see what youre doing wrong! :)
I tried an Ollie the first day I started actually wanting to learn. I cant just ride or balance yet but I'm super impatient so I tried an Ollie(I dont have grass) and it slid away and I fell and my wrist still hurts 5 days later. But super happy for you landing yours!
Penis
I do that too it really helps
You got me into skating❤️
Isaac lmao
nice!
Same
Isaac ya warriors are too over powered and ruined the NBA
@@Isaac-ji7or toxic kids.🙄🙄🙄
I just love VLSkate
I'm turning 37 next month and I just put together my first board (tactics board builder). You answered a handful of questions I've had (age, jumping, nose vs tail, et al) so thank you! Your videos and Braille videos are an incredible help to the true noobs :D
Your like the only person on TH-cam that I believe fully.
Hello how is your Progress now?
To answer everyone (I just got an alert today)... I'm still old (39 this year!) and falling still hurts but I've got ollies and feel super comfortable on a deck now. 🤗 I still can't kick/heel flip but I can watch videos and name tricks properly 😂. If you're learning young, abuse your young body as much as you can cus it sucks at this age!
@@wdiv Awesome! 38 and picked it up again. There are a bunch of us oldies (search for "Brittle Bones Brigade" on Facebook).
@@wdiv yeah Rodney is right join the "Brittle bones brigade" we have fun together ! The more we are the more it will be fun !
Ive been skating for about a year(like actually trying tricks and stuff like) and I just landed my first front side 180 today!! Practice makes perfect
Bro when I landed it, it felt so smooth nothing like just a regular Ollie
I always revert when i land in switch
Carson Peterson amazing. I just landed my first first kickflip the other day and front 180 is my favorite trick once you master it
My graphic is almost gone, so I just spray painted an abbreviation on the grip tape so that’s how I tell
Have any tips on getting over the embarrassment of being an older/out of shape skateboarder?
luc1dmike just have fun and do your thing
Just move on
Dude I'm in my 30's, still skate occasionally and I'm definitely outta shape compared to how I was in my teens and early 20's. May not be jumping down big sets anymore but this old fart can still cruise.
Dab on thoes haters
Most skaters are super supportive of new skaters (no matter the age) if you focus on being cool you’ll just look awkward, just focus on skating.
I get so hyped when you post
3:14 .....that was the cleanest flip I have seen for a while....kudos to that old fella
What makes a skateboarder intermediate? Like, once a skateboarder learns the kickflip, are they no longer a beginner?
I think once you start combining flip tricks, that's when you hit intermediate. rather than kickflip, I think varial flip would be a better option
Varian Manek yeah kinda but it's also not only about the flatgroud... I can do well over 50 different tricks on flat but I can barely frontside 50-50 so I would still condider myself a beginner... I guess you need to be a little more all terrain to be intermediate... But all of this is quite subjective I guess!
For me there is no answer because I never cared about the level people consider I have. I'm not a beginner or intermediate skateboarder. I'm a skateboarder. Period.
I would personally say that once you learn how to Ollie, you are no longer a beginner. Intermediate is starting to learn fliptricks. Also, once you start being able to get a longer tricklist. If you are able to do stuff like Boneless, No Comply 180, maybe some slappy grinds on curbs, Strawberry Milkshake, and 180s, that's more intermediate stuff.
Once you have the basics(Ollie, pop shuv, kickflip, heelflip) that's what I think anyway
Thank you so much - I am 46 and getting back into skateboarding while taking my kids to parks. Your videos are excellent!!
Im 51 and just getting back into skateboarding after 30 years and loving it.have fun👍
3:00
oh wow
i thought pros started in the womb
but hey, i aint too old!
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
*i don't know*
1:50
meanwhile people who landed on their hands: welp guess thats that
Wont lie. Been skating for years and had no idea that there was a difference between the tail and the nose.
Mind blown
I like how "longboarding" and "kickflip" are tags but are never mentioned in the video.
You clearly haven't seen the video because he says kickflip quite a bit
Im so close to landing a kickflip omgggg
Nice guys, keep it up !
You guys are over here landing kickflips while im barely landing a shove it
metalhead96 i recently learned frontside pop shuv its
metalhead96
Im close to landing tho
1 Frame Down 1 just stick with it switch somethings up
I don't have any local skate shops, so I tried Skate Warehouse. It's really great. I ended up saving like 30 dollars.
you’re my favorite skate youtuber and you got me into it and taught me, and still teaching me, everything i need to know, love you @VLSate!
This was awesome! Thank you for answering all these questions that no one else seems to ever answer. Super helpful for beginners like me.

@@Kate-ok4vb bruh have you really never seen one of those usernames. Is this your first day on earth

5:12 whoa is that like a late shuvit? I don't think I've seen that before
late fs shuv
My lower body has been aching, and have only been skating for about 3 days. I am gonna go hard tomorrow because I didn't do much besides cruise around a bit today 🔥
Keep doing what your doing bro never give up I love watching your vids!!!
that skating on the broken board was awesome! That's why in my beginning levels I don't worry about deck size or brand too much, it doesn't make a difference to me. I'm sure once I get A LOT better I will be able to fine tune my specific specs much more intelligently.
For now, as long as it's not a walmart board it should be good.
Who are you and what are you doing?
EricTheGreat “ I dunno”
you always find the right subjects to talk about G.
much love for you my dude, keep the videos coming
I’m 150 pounds and my tony hawk board refuses to break😂😂
I steal the skater kid's board from time to time. Dunno what brand he uses but it can take a 275 pound fucker jumping on it and be fine so
Wayne Sanford Wait, you’re joking right?
150 is not a lot, you're one skinny person.
I broke my first Tony Hawk board (early 2000's Birdman. Best graphic EVER) as a 110lb 13 year old kid lol. Weight doesn't matter too much. Hell, just look at Steve Caballero.
3:18
For people looking for online store references
nice bro.probably one of the best skateboardibng channels out there!
I’m a beginner and these really did help me, especially the last one
I love the brand “ripndip” They make cool skateboards and clothes
*_”do you skate?”_*
Would you make a tutorial on how to make a ramp/something to skate on?
Just love your channel
When i was little i rid scooters and i know were my center of balence is
im glad i used to scooter because it makes me more comfortable on knowing which stance im more comfortable skating with
Im 14 y/o and i've been cruising on a cruiser since the last 2 years now and i spent some money on a new cruiser now and after that i have watched some yt and now i want a regular one, right now im just tryna do tricks with that but it aint going well, fml
Nutter keep pushing takes a lot of practice. U got it
We are in the exact same situation😂 I'm 14 and I have a cruiser but I want to get into trick boarding
14 and I’ve never had a skateboard. (Getting one next week) I’m kinda scared about going to skateparks because I don’t have friends to skate with. And I know people say that everyone won’t judge and it will be fine but I can’t help but be a little scared you know? 😂
Ivy Dzwir same i’m going to the skatepark for the first time tomorrow
Samantha Blanski well good luck😁 (still haven’t gotten my board) 😂
I just started skating at 35, almost exclusively casual lonboarding, and its been one of the best things i've brought into my life.
The beginning one was so helpful now I see why I wasn't getting bigger backside 180s and ollies
“ how do you do that?”
My old board I had for almost 3 months got ran over by a truck a few days ago😤
Great video as always man
i like your channel, you dont talk crap or nonsense, and your videos are informative too, love your video. Subscribed
I am a key defensive player in my basketball team I can jump 43 in yet I can't ollie Fucking 6 inches I hate that I can't ollie high it make me sad 😢
Pitudo Gaming jump 43? Well damn

Zombie Apples Gaming....it's good I you won't ask
Harsh skateboard I'm just trying to see if there's any websites I know where shipping won't cost a lot
Wtf is that english
Twisted Penguins.... Nope
I discovered your channel yesterday.
Love your channel and your videos keep it up
your videos are great, thanks for posting
Can you help me out I’m new and I’m from the uk and I got my board from Argos which is a toy store just like tpys r us and my board sucks and now I know that I need new bearings or wheels because mine barely role and what’s the best wheels bearings
Thx if you can help me
5:54
Dude?! Are you ok?
You carry yourself like a Skate 3 character haha. I love it. Kind of a vibe tbh. Makes it easy to relate to...
New fav TH-cam channel
Also how do I tell what tricks people are doing
Louden Johnson learn
You just kinda start learning by just talking and skating
Lol i skated for like 2 months and i tought that the nose is the tail
Thx a lot man
How tf did I do it wrong this whole time=)))
Livviu very common, think everyone has had that moment. The nose is always bigger than the tail. I actually switch my board around and use the nose as my tail, and the tail as the nose. No real reason or advantage, I just prefer a bigger tail and a mellow nose. Skate a blank and nobody will know :p
Just got my first deck from SW ty so much for inspiring me to start practicing, keep up the quality videos :) also came back to this vid to figure out the nose and tail lol
great video keep up the great content
Im getting a board from amazon ;-;
Are u still skating?
i ride mongo and just started to try regular but i could use a little help with the switch
I know what your doing! Your helping me out!
good vid man...very instructional just like your other tutorials 👍🏼
8:53
WHo are you and What are you doing here
VLskate: I don’t know
I’m ded😂😂😂😂
Is it normal to start skating at 16 and being able to Ollie like right away
Louden Johnson yes
Louden Johnson lmao yea that’s me first 2 hours got them on lock
Thank you so much man. I recently got my skateboard, from my local skate shop. Your videos are the real deal!? Thank you again!?
love your videos
Can you skate without concave?
Francisco Fonseca yes but concave helps with pop a lot of old boards have mellow concave
GibbySk8 yeh I got an +/- old board and doesn't have concave, but I think that concave doesn't give more pop ...
I mean it's helpful but not entirely a necessity. I'd advise have a concave though unless you're already used to what you have
Am I gay if I don't skate. Answer: YES
JKJK
0:44 Dat kickflip ♥♥♥ *continues watching*
Love your vids.
The last speed round q+a in this video was funny😂
I just wanna say that you taught me how to skateboard your the best
you are amazing man
That last one hit me in the feels.
Loved the part about starting as an old guy :)
I'm 46 yrs old, trying to ollie (especially while rolling) is super scary.
Thanks for the help ☺️
i learned kickflips from pretending to do it on carpet, and then focusing on my flip foot to go back by just jumping up and doing the motion.
at 2:58 that is where arryn skelly skates.
@vlskate you are my favorite TH-cam skater, I skated alot when I was 13 to 16 but stopped after high school I am now 22 and I watched some of your videos and I got a skateboard and got back into and when ever I was having trouble learning a new trick I would come to your channel. I would like to say I am a pretty decent skater now and it is a huge passion of mine and I just wanted to say thank you! Also your probably not even gonna see this but if you do I would love to skate with you that would be legit 👌🏻😂💯
I insictively try to impress people walking down the street, if I'm just riding and I see someone, I'll try some random trick and most of the time, I'll either not land it or land it and then immediately hit a rock or something and just look like I have no idea what I'm doing. The one time I do actually land it in front of them, 8 times out of 10 they don't care or didn't notice. The other 1 time though, I'll get a "Cool!" And that's good. The other 1 time out of 10 it's some old guy telling me to be careful.
i bought my first skateboard off amazon, but it still worked really well
*make sure you read most of the reviews (especially most recent ones) before you buy and look at the company details and things like that to make sure its legit and wont get a walmart board*
Cool to see you’re nearby my hometown. Small world I guess.
For the questions about not landing both feet on the board or the board flying away from you, I found that my problem with that is partly fear and commitment but largely the way I balance my weight on the board for a trick. For example, when trying to learn a kickflip I was putting most of my weight towards my back foot instead of keeping it even between both feet and that's what was causing my board to fly ahead of me instead of staying under my feet preventing me from putting my back food on to land.
Please upload more and make more trick tips your videos help me progress in skating keep it up bro 👍
I was meant to see this last Vid of yours -- I've been peepin'SkateTipVids like a mo'fo' -- an'hear You answer the Q about "Am I too Oh El Dee to start...?", because I REALLY want to try a Street Deck now. I bought a LongBoard this summer for the 1st Time an'I LOVE it! I DID get some Quick Lessons in Physics already -- SnowBoarding background, yet I freak the Eff Out when I try to ride switch (fakie) on a LongBoard. I might try pushing with my Left (not Mongo) an'jus'get used to it! This has been a HUGE confidence-builder for me an'have had the best summer in years getting my deck!
Thank You for posting such informative & thoughful Vids! I really appreciate it! 👍🙏✌
Just the perfect video. Been wanting to get into skateboarding and this was the perfect video. Im gonna be getting a complete board from skatewharehouse 100% its nice and cheap.
man. just started back up for the first time since middle school and NEVER knew that i've been skating my board the wrong direction...
it must feel really good to know that youve inspired people to get into skateboarding of all ages huh vl? keep up the great work wish your channel was around when i was learning i could of really used the support kids and people were dicks where i grew up if you werent instantly good they talk down to you and demotivate you call you a poser and make fun of you and shit luckily i managed to push past all the hate and here i am 12 years later prob kore in love with the sport then when i was little
California. Skateland. There were the pavements and even the roads are smooth AF.
:59 Thank you for answering the 'which one is the tail' question. I just got back into skateboarding after like a two decade hiatus and I couldn't remember which was the front and which was the back. I got the Zero single skull deck and I was thinking "Well, the top of the skull should be the front...but then again, if I was skating with the teeth pointing toward the front, then it would have the perspective of the skull flying forward so maybe that's right." So I over-thinked myself into a place where what should be simple became too complex hehe.
