"When I created the original Learn To Ride A Skateboard DVD back in 2007, I wanted it to be available for free and I wanted to create the most detailed and thorough skateboarding instructional video ever made. Looking at other videos available for sale and posted on the Internet, I'm proud of the fact that Learn To Ride A Skateboard still provides more information and more detail than any other skateboarding video in the world. I'm stoked to be able to update a few parts and share this Special Edition of the entire Learn To Ride A Skateboard project on TH-cam for everyone to enjoy."

I'm loving these videos. I used to skate as a teenager so very very long ago in the 70s. Both boards and quad roller skates. I had one of those plastic ones that seem to have come back in. There were no skate parks near me so I made do with street furniture. I stopped when I went to Uni.
About ten years ago I bought a new board but hardly used it, because I felt so self conscious, and it sat in the closet. A little while I go I took up roller derby. I've gotten a lot fitter since I started playing. Then just the other day I joined some derby friends in the local park and took my board too. Since I had all my protection on anyway I swapped my 78A, 62mm wheels from my skates to the board and had a play. I'm very rusty but its relit the spark and I want to do more.
Thing is how do I get around the self conscious feeling of that everyone is looking funny at the middle aged woman walking around with a skate board.
How do you get around the self-conscious feeling of that everyone is looking funny at the middle-aged woman walking around with a skateboard.? Come to California. Being a middle-aged woman with a skateboard is pretty normal out here.
There are only two steps to follow
1) Not give a fuck.
2) Repeat step one.
Follow these steps and you will no longer feel self conscious. =)
The DVD came out in 2007. The "special edition" contains additional footage and was uploaded to TH-cam in 2011.
This is SO AWESOME! I am a 26 year old African-American female and I just got a skateboard for my birthday this month. You can't imagine how shocked people are to see me on my board! It's almost hilarious! I am still learning but so far, I LOVE IT!
Thanks for showing the reality of who really likes to skateboard.
That's super cool! Congratulations! Happy birthday! Hope you have a lot of fun learning how to skate and thanks for watching my videos. Watch all 7 of the "Learn To Ride A Skateboard" clips and you'll know a lot more about skateboards than most of the boys around you!
Tanks for the vids. You guys are so awesome. I appreciate to see people skating and not just trying to be cool and stuff but just having fun. Greetings from Germany ;)
i've looked up many videos on how to skate and even asked my local skaters but nothing helped me more that this video. I'm only ten and im a girl. people think i shouldn't skate because im to young and a girl when at the skate park there was a 3 year old shredding. I started skating about 2 days ago, i knew the way to stand, balance and tick tac and that stuff but i never knew how to push off until this series so thank you.
lol, i bought a skateboard, and I tried to learn but then winter came, a soft winter thought, so I go out and I fall really hard, so I half gave up, but these videos really help! I can't wait for spring!
I am 17 6 days away from 18 i know how to Ollie i have been skating 3 days and i love the sport i fell in love with it the second i stepped on that board it is the greatest decision i have ever made thank you so much fro posting these videos i learned alot and hope it influenced everyone to pick up a board
I really love skating. I skated since 7th grade. Im now a freshmen in college. Though im not that good. And i quit for like these past couple of years, and i just started skating again this past week. People dont get discouraged when you cant do a trick or something. Keep trying and dont get intimidated when other people are better than you, skateboarding is an individual sport. Whenever trying something, dont hesitate, just go for it.
Ive always loved skateboarding and I thought I was too old to learn, I just got a board I cant wait to learn this channel is great!!!!!
great video! very cool stuff here. thanks
@nirmanyu97 - Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. The video was only about 7 hours old when you commented though. I'm sure it will get more views in time...
Love the videos. They're really cool!
It's great to hear that you know someone who started at 42, it makes me feel a bit less stupid starting at 39(and I don't even have the excuse of having kids!).
good for you! If you love skateboarding, go with and never let anyone talk you down. keep shreddin'!
I know there are many videos of how to ollie and kickflip but they arent detailed and some videos say the exact opposite of what one video said can you please make a video of the basic tricks it will mean alot to me and other skaters btw ive been watching all your videos and i improved my skating like 99 percent! :D
I'm 21 year old girl and I've started this week. People who saw me told me I will give up after breaking something like EVERY OTHER GIRL and this motivates me even more - I have to defend honor of the female skateboarders. Cross your fingers! :)
i just turned 15 today (8 April) and i got a Zoo York skateboard as a gift!! so happy, cant wait to start skating
I've only been skating for like 2 years and I can do like two tricks so I kee thinking I'm like absolute crap at it but this vid was sooo inspirational! Respect to the older skaters out there! Peace!
Its alright i mastered all the basic techniques and some tricks already. Thanks for the video :) Btw it didnt take long, it took me a week for the basics only.
make sure youre wearing the right shoes.
and just keep practicing. you will build muscle and will then help your balance.
Great video here, thank you! I really enjoyed it and I definitely agree with it. Age is just a number and shouldn't be a limitation on skateboarding (or anything for that matter) and I look forward to start (street) skating in the near future.
You'll get better. Remember it takes many months of skating to get good and years of skating to be great. Just be patient and keep practicing.
Just takes a lot of practice. Frontside turns are usually harder for everyone, goofy or regular.
I started skating as a street skater doing all the ollies and kickflips. I did my first bowl skating yesterday. I sucked, but it sure was fun :D.
Good video..I have just bought my first skateboard..I am 68 and love it...am pushing ok..find it hard to change front foot stance once on board..ok if I leave front foot pointed forward..so hope | can master that soon..cheers
68 and starting to skateboard for the first time? That is absolutely awesome. I know I'm replying 3 years later, but I hope you're still riding and having fun.
Woah I'm from Cleveland, Ohio too! I live only a mile from Lorain Avenue!
Yes, it's just like how I hear people stereotype how only girls roller-skate, and only boys skateboard. At least I'm not the only one who's bothered by stereotypes. These stereotypes I've heard a lot, and it bothers me really much. I am a girl. I love to skateboard. This should have more views! Thanks for making this video! I love it!
Hello i just started skating 5 days ago i can push of but i cant break so can you give some advice. And thankyou for teaching me how to skate in this video. And i keep triping while i am riding so can you give sone advice on that to please. Thank you
i found this really helpful, although i know there is a lot of diversity in skateboarding, this helped me by showing me its not all about tricks, you can just skate at the skateparks and just be casual, its made me feel a lot more comfortable with my abilities :D
Hi, I'm trying to learn to skate and I bought a Sector 9 cruiser board with foam trac,I already know that cruiser boards are harder to ride for a begginer,but my real question is: that foam trac would make it even harder for me or it doesnt matter. Thank you!
It makes me wanna get better at skateboarding! :D
I can't believe i gotta take 30 years, thirty friggen years to make a descent instructional skateboarding video.
I hope you teach me how to running start, and maybe how to bert slide.
and thing is doing a fast one or at least at crusing speed,is different from a stationery or slow one.i cant find the moment to snap the tail for the ollie.if i tried i would either fall back or forward.i dont know if im making sense but moving and stationery have a different feel/weight distribution imo....and none vid i saw so far talks about it...its like the brigde to the next level like ollie-ing up curbs or going for a 50-50 grind....i know practice is impt but a tip could make it easier?
Yeah I'm a 19 year old girl and I've gotten most of my girl friends in to it now, we all have cruiser boards. It's real cool we skate every where :-)
I have no advice other than what is taught in all 7 of these videos. Just keep practicing. You can see from watching these videos, the students have a hard time and it takes a lot of practice to get good.
@americnsk8r just have fun and dont worry about sponsers now at your age. Just enjoy skating and practice!
I've never skate before, I purchased a Stereo Vinyl Cruiser, it is a good choice?
Watch "How to start and turn and stop a skateboard? (Chapter 4 of 7)"
for some reason whenever i ride my board even if I'm not leaning left i go left, my heels of me feet hang off the edge of the board when I'm riding, and i've noticed that a friend of mine with smaller feet that fit the board has no trouble. Am i right thinking its my feet hanging off the edge or what?
I have just started and when I push on my board I can not keep my balence, can you help ?.
hmmmmmm why does this vid have only 2,944 views? it's great! i am now a subscriber thanks once again for making theses vids im telling about these on my account you rule!
you are awsome
You're welcome. Be sure to check out my other channel "SkateboardCalifornia" for a lot of other videos, including one on Silly Girl Skateboards all-girl skate team!
for some reason whenever i ride my board it always goes right, and i know its not me leaning on it because it goes left if i roll it across the ground with nothing on it, do you have any idea why is this, also i'd just say that I've had my skateboard since i was ten and I'm fourteen now, back when i was ten it worked fine, could it be too small?
yes
this might seem silly but i have a problem , i use my right hand and foot in everything so when i try to turn from the right to the left i do it perfectly but i cant turn from left , i watched all your videos they were so helpful but they didn't solve this problem
i need to learn because i am going
to a skatepark
yeah there are
These videos are about learning the basics of board control. They were created because skaters never take the time to make videos like this and share this foundational knowledge. I only make videos you can't find everywhere else. There are already 10 million how-to videos on ollies. No point in creating another one.
I started skating around time of the year in 2008 when I was around 16 now I'm 20, before that I had never ridden a skateboard now I'm OK at it.
Where I live there is only 1 tiny skatepark about 20 min. drive from my home.
im 14 started at 13 im great allready it weird because in canada we dont have riding weather that much in october
i dont have a skate park around me at all, no one skate here, is there anywhere or anything that could subsitute a skate park/obsticles
I have a bit of a problem... well, where i live (Scotland, Falkirk area) i do not know of any decent flat areas to practice, there is a skate park but i am not too keen to turn up there because i know some people who skate and ride bmx's but i do not like any of them and i would not like to hang somewhere with people i do not like. If there is anyone that can help me out on this, I have not really been able to practice, so i can't do anything yet, thanks.
I live in the UK in London, so there aren't really alot of Skateparks (I think) D:
man, broadway bomb longboard event in new york, 10 miles of straight gnar outlaw pushing through the streets of manhattan. cops don't bother either, last year we had over 3000 people. met alot of people from overseas too.
Yes, all the same techniques apply, but learning on a tiny little plastic toy skateboard is going to be a lot harder and take you a lot longer.
schools without knobed rails, stairs, planter gaps
basically any place with rails, stairs, and gaps
you can also find benches.
just be creative look at everything that might look like it can be skated and it probably can
I'd also like to know the answer!
This is one of best skeat programs,becouse it starts from basic thinks
does these techniques work on a penny board?
to not wipeout in the street you would want bigger wheels so it just wont effect you but for pools and stuff you just want small wheels or big it doesnt matter in the park that much
im a twelve year old boy and i just got a skateboard im teaching myself and im kinda getting the hang of it but i just cant seem to go far
I put my left on front and right to push
Hello i am a 11 year old girl i still cant quite jump on the skateboard can you help me. thanks
I started skating on a nickle, and i do agree the small penny is a lot harder,
SAME THING MAN! 12 NEW BOARD AND EVERY THING
those skateboards from walmart arent good you can buy one for like lerning but if you want it for like tricks and stuff like that i would recomend you to go or look for special sateboards stores
tried skating in my back garden on some really dodgy patio, on some rubbish toys r us board that wouldn't turn and had woodlice on the bottom. then I gave up. but watching this made me wanna do it again, any tips on how to start skating properly? please reply, I'm 12 by the way
Get a good setup, ask tips from local skaters and watch videos. And have fun! But only start skating if you actually want to.
First of all you might need to convince your mom to get u a good skateboard. Also try outside not in your garden so u get more space to practice. There are a lot of skateboarding videos and i think u shud learn to balance first
buy a maple wood board from a proper skate shop, 7.5' to 8.5' for a beginner but as u get better get a less wide board if u want
Thanks for the info, really appreciate it! I went out at the weekend and bought an 8.0 Element deck and krux trucks, but thanks for the advice anyway.
No problem :) give your best and nice setup.
Who's the pro?
Nope. Those little Penny boards and Stereo boards and all those plastic things are much harder to ride than a full-sized skateboard. You can still learn on them, but as a beginner, it will be a lot harder and take you a lot longer.
As long as your feet don't slip off the board any easier, you should be fine.
I need help. I'm 12 so i dont understand much about companies and stuff. So... how do i get sponsored? I really want to know how. I would love to get paid to do what i love
What are the advantages of riding a skateboard? My parents bought me a skateboard when I was 9. I'm 12 now and they STILL don't want me to use it. I think they're starting to doubt my sexuality. Haha. They believe in stereotypes so, they think only guys can ride one. I really can't understand what's going on inside a mother's brain. Anyway, great video, guys!
why nothing about moving ollie?and shuv its?only 2 vid teach how? part 4 and part 7....
Finally skaters that dont think its all about flat ground..
Why does 5 & 7 not work for me?
I raged big time
I can only do street skating.
my dad probably thinks skating is for guys, h thinks guys are pretty badass, - my mom thinks i will get hurt- a few weeks ago i got $20 for a trip to a theme park, didnt use it so i bought a skateboard today at walmart for $15, its a kryptonics recruit complete , its pretty good i self taught myself but now im watching these, i fell when i got stuck in a crack though, and im not sure how to go over them, but im pretty good i guess. i even can do one trick im proud of myself for being a 14 year old girl :}
coll i got a alien workshop happy late birthday
they dont show details they like these...like how it differ from people to people.all they say is jump n slide,its like everyone know its about jump and slide but not details like how u should lean etc...
LOL same here XD
I RIDE A LONGBOARD, SURF, AND A SKATEBOARD, SO WHEN GUYS SEE ME AT RANDOM THEY GO DO A OLLIE (ON MY LONGBOARD) AND I'M LIKE I'LL DIE. BUT THERE ARE STEREOTYPES ABOUT SKATEBOARDERS. I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT TO TEXAS AND TOOK IT ON THE PLANE PPL WERE FLIPPIN OUT, THEY THOUGHT I WAS LIKE A PRO GOING TO A CONTEST. MY FIANCE ALWAYS MAKE FUN OF ME, CALLME OREO AND THAT I'M NOT TONY HAWK AND I JUST LAUGH BUT STEREOTYPES DO EXIST ABOUT ETHNIC PPL AND FEMALES RIDING BOARDS.
I'm no dude and I skate too. It's really annoying when adults go, "Huh?! You're skating? But you're a girl!" Ugh.
Now I realize this vid is not representative for the whole sb community. I've met skaters 20 years older than the oldest in the video.
let me know if someone replies.. i wanna know too! xx
How about "46 year old and skated 18 times in my life (all 18 in December)".
Look amazing. I just must dö it.
if i waz you i will try to get noticed riding a skateboard so it gets known there and then slowly blows up in that area then from there kids and teens moms dads and adult skaters will let that city , town or where ever place you live to built a skate park thats how i fix that problem true story
maybe your trucks are to loose for you
We're Californians. We skate everything because we invented everything.
I'm a white middle class teenage boy and i feel different now :P
Maybe its just where i live..but everyone is a white middle class white boy who skates
Why do you have to classify us?(we are all humans, black white brown yellow). why does class or stereotypes matter? just ride bro, we are one blood
The entire point of this video was to debunk stereotypes, not reinforce them.
lol now i feel like a douch... i am that cookie cutter skateboarder im a white middle class 14 year old dude.
Sleightly put off, from all the near death experiences :/
