The good thing about a spot like that is that nobody sees you killing yourself. I think most people don't go hard enough in skateparks because everyone sees them missing tricks/ falling everytime when they're beginner
@@95mcqueen5 yeah this or there’s a flat ground spot near me where mostly absolute beginners go to learn to push so falling off trying to land advanced flips feels less embarassing
1. Change your environment 2. Try new tricks 3. Get out of your comfort zone That’s really the best advice to give for skateboarding progression! Thanks man!
I am new to skateboarding and been doing it in just a week and I’ve learnt how to push, turn, balance and putting my back foot on the board and I did all that in just under a week I’ve been doing it for an hour everyday and I’ve improved so much on my turning the first day when I started I was terrified of pushing and balancing on the board and I left my comfort zone and I’m so proud of myself for that because I’ve always struggled with social anxiety just staying in my room 24/7 not wanting to leave my room and I did that I left my house and found a new hobby for the first time in years I feel so much better about myself.
I did all thiq from first dqay d i thought i'm talented but the reality was hard i couldn't ollie till 7months later qo js be comdy on ur board it'll help u so much later to land tricks
@@شيكبالا I haven’t done any tricks on my board I just like cruising not a big fan of doing tricks I’m terrified to even go down hills I had a really nasty injury on my hip going down really fast and that happened last year in September it’s fading away but very slowly and still have it to this day I don’t think I could do tricks let alone badly injure myself going down hill I haven’t been down hill once
My progression has kinda slowed down over the last few years because I got comfortable with the tricks I was doing and then pretty much only did those tricks. But over the last year or so I’ve been trying new tricks again and have gotten a much larger bag of tricks now. Always try and learn something new when you go out and skate is my advice for anyone trying to get good at skating
I’ve been skating for 13 years but I’m still watching this lol. I just got back into it 9 months ago and i just want to feel more confident. Gaps mess with my head a lot except for euro gaps because they go up instead of down. And after watching this, I’m going to try new tricks more often. I just learned how to front big spin up this euro gap and I don’t even know how to do it on flat ground. I’m going to keep pushing myself. Thank you!
i just started skated for the first time in about 2 months and its been frustrating trying to tricks i know i could do before but not being able to land them this video helped me out a lot on picking up where i left off in my progression i appreciate it
That’s why I like skating alone because I can try a new trick as many times as I want even if it takes me all day. Most times when skating at skate parks with people you tend to not give as much attention to those types of tricks you really can’t do Edited this in: To add on to that last statement. it’s also because you don’t want to feel like you not in the session with your homies and that sometimes seems like you are ignoring them because it takes way more focus and time to learn something that you are not filmier with
Bro, u are spitting facts. I noticed that my skateboarding was getting stagnated. I only have 1 skatepark at my village, and it's really small and the obstacles are limiting and not that good. I started skating a lot on the streets due to that, and on the last 3 months I learned more stuff than on 1 year and a half at that skatepark.
Ik this video is 2 years old. But I am a inspiring future pro skater (I hope lol) who still is trying to get his ollies up to 2 feet and a half. This video inspired me and got me thinking rn how can I improve more to progress more with others, and that I should try more hard to get out of my comfort zone with ollies, and learning new tricks. Great video dude :) Love your skating style btw.
One thing that really helped me was learning something new each time i went to the skate park or every other time i went and not anything crazy either, just learning little stuff or like using obstacles that i always used in a different way. Trying to learn something new even if its something simple can change your game tremendously. Its all about being creative and being versatile with your creativity imo. Also if you wanna progress faster i highly recommend skating out in the streets, that did wonders for me and made me so much better personally
Man I've been skating a decent amount of time. Well 15 years to be exact. This was insightful. Makes sense to switch it up. Sometimes I get stuck warming up with basics then at the end of the session I don't get much time for something different. Gonna try that out. I like the getting uncomfortable one...
Thinking about getting back into skating after 20 years hiatus.this is good advice and inspiration,and I think it is applicable to life itself to get out of your comfort zone to accomplish personal growth in any outlet in your life. Great video thank you for the Post! 🙃
Best video I have ever seen in skateboarding history u have just given me a opportunity to improve and to not give up and to feel more confident about myself and go for it sending more things and to get better at skating thanks a lot man
:000 I wasn't even looking for this video, but I sure needed it. I was just thinking about what progress I could make after I fell off my board earlier. Great vid🔥
hey man thanks for the video, very useful !! ive skated for over a year now (not including hiatus) and just got a decent ollie. i feel happy with my skills until i see them on a recording- and what I’m doing looks really beginner-ish, and no different from my skating 3 years ago (back then i had way fewer mental blocks, and could drop in from banks without a second thought). it’s kind of annoying that all my ‘progress’ has just been towards building up unnecessary fear and mental blockage, or at least that’s what it feels like. i guess now ive realised it, all i can do is try new strategies like these to remove the fear that’s stopping my progress- many thanks :D
Good stuff man. I approach skateboarding the way I do practicing my instrument, keep a balance of review stuff and new stuff. Also, once I land something new, I try to get 3-5 reps of it to build that muscle memory.
This! I cant describe how right you are about everything you said in this video. The last months my skating was kind of monotone, I did the same tricks for over half a year. Now I did my first skatecontest and I was kind of forced to do new tricks for a good line and man I can tell you this was the best decision ive ever made. New flat ground tricks unlocked and grinds. Just try something new even if it seems to be out of your league or too lame. If I have never tried to do a hardflip I bet I wouldve learned it 10 years later from now on xD.
One thing I have learned is that I have to understand when my head is in learning mode or not. If it is not it just gets frustrating and it is better just to have a feel good skate. I have to have the right mindset to learn, and sometimes a feel good skate leads to new trick mode! Also, I had to learn to learn. Have a plan. Learn how to breakdown and practice a trick. Give myself a few test tries to understand where my board and body is going to make sure I am going fast enough, high enough, long enough, clearing the obstacle etc.
Changing skate terrain is 100% such an important thing to do... I recently started hitting a new park in the next city from me and it's pushing me so much further already I'm gonna finally learn krook nollie heel there time to push myself :)
Nice video and advice. It is hard for some folks in small towns that only have one park and rough streets. But you are right! Gotta go seek new spots and try! I come from a small town like that, I ended up moving to other places. But when I moved back, I got stagnant, so I just switched stances and my local park was practically brand new to me from there! 😃
The gap you kick flipped used to have a rail sticking out of the corner where there’s a hole. It was a hit out railed that you could bonk and grind. Super fun
I remember when this spot was being built when I was a young teen. I miss the DIY spot. Glad to see it’s still in good use! I’ve absolutely crushed that spot
Good question. It’s tough because it’s easier to get hurt when you’re pushing your limits! I would say it helps to pay attention to the *way* you’re pushing your limits. If it’s tech or otherwise low impact, getting good at falling (experience + technique) can really help lower the risk. If you’re going big, then it always helps to be extremely comfortable with the tricks on a smaller scale first (e.g. super comfortable kickflipping a 5 stair before trying an 8)
@QueesZ now it’s been a year since i broke it... I started to skate again in February but only now I’m starting to not have pain every time...but it depends much on you and on how you approach your injury and make it heal in the right way
I change my set_up constantly I have new experiences with different size decks trucks and wheels different hardness of wheels and shapes too I’ve really figured out what I like and dislike for all the different types of skating that I do feel like I will now adjust something here and there but basically have all my bases covered , change is challenge , challenge is progress
i agree. changing it up and going back to the trick later is valuable. it does seem to work. changing the skate spot also is fun. back in the day we skated through 3 cities to get to the spots we wanted to. today just skating one skatepark in my view is defeating the purpose of skateboard creativity.
I totally agree with your outlook. I went from barely having the basics that took me 2 to almost 2-1/2 years to almost consistently have under my wing. But when I started randomly trying switch skating I was able to somehow mimic everything I already knew from goofy stance…. And learn even more in quite literally 1/5 of the time it took me to learn what I knew before adventuring to the switch world. maybe even less. I just know by the time I had been skating at the almost 4 year mark I was destroying all my friends in my skate crew in skate. I’d unload an encyclopedia of flip tricks in almost every stance within a few hours of getting to the spot wether it was small grass gaps with decent height to it or 5-6 stairs. I didn’t even have consistent kick flips down every try when I thought to try them switch. But something clicked for me when I did decide that approach and because I did take that approach I had re learned everything I already knew as well as figuring it all out goofy, switch and nollie and fakie. It’s all a matter of just trying and attempt and you’ll see that the struggle that comes with is extremely rewarding when you skate completely fluent both your dominant stance and switch stance. Some tricks I was even BETTER at doing switch and nollie. You never know until you try…. 🤘🏼🤙🏽🙏🏽
38 yo I'm on the verge to land my first bs crook never have the balls before to try it . After 10 years pause I'm back on my board an finally learning this tricks . Definitely out of my confort zone .
Nice thoughts! I totally agree about skating different spots, but I do think it’s good to skate the same spot a lot too so that you can really figure it out.
exactly what im missing in my skating rn, skated flatground only basically for two years and got stuff like switch tres and many pretty hard flat tricks but most of them i cant even do on a ramp🥴
dawn man your video really appealed to me , cause you re going 100% , like you re filming you while skating , and not the contrary, respect that. also i'm the guy, you described most of the times, and yes i go to the same skate spot most pf the times hahaha. and its frustrating i fell i could be doing more tricks , crazy tricks even, but i guess i'm afraid to put me in some discomfort, and get hurt, im 32 by the wway, and i've been skating for abou 14 y. but i still enjoy every bit of it, i try not to kinda patronise myself around it cause its more of a hobby nowadays , i skate like twice a week. still i have no kids and i'm single so yeah , that's something i could transfer into more time on the board. anyways. thanks fo the content. cheers from Brazil.
I feel like I’m not improving at all I’ve been skating for a year and I can barely Ollie my board is terrible the griptape is falling off and the tail is getting smaller because I keep chipping it can someone tell me what a good complete and shoes and what tricks I should practice in order that would help ALOT
Ive skated for years but i never tried tricks until last fall. 4ish months in ive done fakie shuvs and ollies rolling, and some other miscellaneous tricks like slappys and small transition stuff. I enjoy doing different stuff at parks thats within my limitations but i feel like im halting my progression by not focusing solely on ollies
getting back into skating again, im way overweight now but can still do ollie, nollie, 180s, shovs, landing kickflips amd tre flips sometimes not consistent so its really discourgaing
What kinda wheels do you skate? Looks/sounds like kinda medium width and medium hardness. Been trying to figure out what to get for myself. currently rocking 55m 99 durability spitifires but thinking about going slightly wider and softer, but not so much that they wont slide. I mostly skate street and a little bit of park and miniramp.
“Get out of your comfort zone” Thats the first thing I did when I visited the skatepark. I was so fkn scared of going down ramps. I saw kids younger than me do it and I was like “dude why tf am i so scared” like ig I didn’t completely accepted the fact that in skateboarding when you’re gonna progress, you’re gonna get hurt no matter what, and cant avoid it because if you do, you won’t be able to move forward. But i’m glad I finally manage to face my fears and get down from one, i did fall..several times, but it was awesome and can’t wait to try it again and stay on my board.
Been skateboarding for over 15yrs the best way to get good at skateboarding is to learn all of the basics, skate flat & skate with ppl who are way more advanced than you are…that’s how I got good in 3yrs everything afterwards comes easy..identify the tricks you like..try to learn them in every stance into grinds, gaps, & stairs..this one is very important..have fun have a great attitude..don’t go slamming ya board screaming & yelling..it ain’t the board it’s you..keep trying it until you find the sweet spot..anger makes the body tense up and it’ll make it easier for you to get injured 🤕..have fun be happy..if you fall fucking laugh..get up and try again..a lot of what he said is good advice too change it up go to different places & try your tricks on different obstacles..everyone progresses differently don’t rush build up that muscle memory till a kick flip feels like your signing your signature..now go have fun express yourself you ain’t gotta be super tech..
@@SkateSage love to see it, I think I've developed a fear through childhood from rolling my ankles badly multiple times, I'm trying to get back at street/ drops/stairs or gaps
commit to mastering every trick in your bag on flat ground so that you can catch them all on bolts before landing. Once you have the consistent muscle memory to catch a trick bolts it becomes very safe and easy to do over any gap or into rails
To play off of what you're saying, I want to reiterate to everyone here that you don't have to keep pushing yourself constantly. You SHOULD promote change, but also try to dial in your tricks that you're already working on. If you haven't dialed it in yet and you're still inconsistent, don't try to push yourself to keep trying new things. Do what makes you comfortable and progress naturally. If you try to focus on progressing in too many different areas at the same time, all you're doing is spreading yourself thin. Can't land a kickflip consistently? Don't try it down that 3 stair yet. But if you CAN do something consistently like they said in the video (like the guys who do the same 3 tricks at the park), push yourself. Try doing it in new areas, try doing it over that 3 stair. Push yourself at a healthy pace but don't go too hard that you end up scaring yourself from it.
I really really hope this helps, I’ve been skating for years and barely progressing, I cant even learn how to Ollie even though I’ve been practicing for years, sometimes I just wanna give up, I’ve tried all sorts of things to get better and it isn’t working, I feel like a poser even though I’m trying my best to learn :/
Just don’t think about it, just skate and naturally you’ll get into a groove because when you think, that’s when typically fuck up from my experience Atleast
No way ur at the tally diy!! I used to skate this all the time right around covid time I wonder if I’ve ever seen u out there lol. Too many good band shows there also I wonder if they’ll ever finish that kidney bowl there

TRUE
@tyrvfx of course, that is so much better. For me the ideal is to practice alone and get to show once you know some tricks
@@95mcqueen5 yeah this or there’s a flat ground spot near me where mostly absolute beginners go to learn to push so falling off trying to land advanced flips feels less embarassing
The bad thing is if you get really hurt, nobody can help you.
lol I fall so much idc people will look but as long as you get back up they will give you respect. Always go hard.
1. Change your environment
2. Try new tricks
3. Get out of your comfort zone
That’s really the best advice to give for skateboarding progression! Thanks man!

I feel like I’m not improving at all I’ve been skating for a year and I can barely Ollie my board is terrible the griptape is falling off and the tail is getting smaller because I keep chipping it can someone tell me what a good complete and shoes and what tricks I should practice in order that would help ALOT
Ive skated for years but i never tried tricks until last fall. 4ish months in ive done fakie shuvs and ollies rolling, and some other miscellaneous tricks like slappys and small transition stuff. I enjoy doing different stuff at parks thats within my limitations but i feel like im halting my progression by not focusing solely on ollies
getting back into skating again, im way overweight now but can still do ollie, nollie, 180s, shovs, landing kickflips amd tre flips sometimes not consistent so its really discourgaing
I have to say you landlines that kick flip off the gap really good
this motivated me so much, thank you!
that looks like the best skate spot ever i need to go there
I concur with you, wise words, my friend🤙🏼😎💯
massive confidence when no one was watching you!
I been stuck on kickflip and heelflip for over a year now and cant seem to get them was able to get all my other tricks in a fair ammount of time
have fun and always try new things
You’re literally so good wow
I ride bmx but it doesn’t matter really. Same rules apply thanks for the video.
Good video thanks man. I’ll change it up everytime I skate. Keep on skating y’all 🔥
Thank you that was great to know much needed !!🤟🤜🤛🙌
thank you for the tips man.. 👍👍
Hamburger you on point talking not but the truth your truth but it’s universal
Most importantly have fun, land trucks you enjoy
What kinda wheels do you skate? Looks/sounds like kinda medium width and medium hardness. Been trying to figure out what to get for myself. currently rocking 55m 99 durability spitifires but thinking about going slightly wider and softer, but not so much that they wont slide. I mostly skate street and a little bit of park and miniramp.
They’re Bones wheels, medium width and pretty high hardness, don’t know exactly. 53 I think
Great vid and perspective
“Get out of your comfort zone” Thats the first thing I did when I visited the skatepark. I was so fkn scared of going down ramps. I saw kids younger than me do it and I was like “dude why tf am i so scared” like ig I didn’t completely accepted the fact that in skateboarding when you’re gonna progress, you’re gonna get hurt no matter what, and cant avoid it because if you do, you won’t be able to move forward. But i’m glad I finally manage to face my fears and get down from one, i did fall..several times, but it was awesome and can’t wait to try it again and stay on my board.
That euro gap looks sick
This is such a chill video thank you
Thanks Bro,You really encouraged me ❤
Looks like you might need some wax on that ledge
I was thinking the same thing
Been skateboarding for over 15yrs the best way to get good at skateboarding is to learn all of the basics, skate flat & skate with ppl who are way more advanced than you are…that’s how I got good in 3yrs everything afterwards comes easy..identify the tricks you like..try to learn them in every stance into grinds, gaps, & stairs..this one is very important..have fun have a great attitude..don’t go slamming ya board screaming & yelling..it ain’t the board it’s you..keep trying it until you find the sweet spot..anger makes the body tense up and it’ll make it easier for you to get injured 🤕..have fun be happy..if you fall fucking laugh..get up and try again..a lot of what he said is good advice too change it up go to different places & try your tricks on different obstacles..everyone progresses differently don’t rush build up that muscle memory till a kick flip feels like your signing your signature..now go have fun express yourself you ain’t gotta be super tech..
You had me subscribing at no pun intended.🔥
🙏🏻
Nice video man 🤝
Thanks man !
This spot looks sick!
Thank you for making this video only 5 minutes long, tired of 20 min videos people be posting
I used to only cruise around town but now I picked up a regular board and I’m trying to learn tricks and it is difficult.
I've been skating 10+ years and got all these flip tricks but I'm scared of jumping down stairs or gaps if it's a hip or flatbank I'm fine
I feel you. My next video idea is going to be “how to skate gaps” I think
@@SkateSage love to see it, I think I've developed a fear through childhood from rolling my ankles badly multiple times, I'm trying to get back at street/ drops/stairs or gaps
commit to mastering every trick in your bag on flat ground so that you can catch them all on bolts before landing. Once you have the consistent muscle memory to catch a trick bolts it becomes very safe and easy to do over any gap or into rails
To play off of what you're saying, I want to reiterate to everyone here that you don't have to keep pushing yourself constantly. You SHOULD promote change, but also try to dial in your tricks that you're already working on. If you haven't dialed it in yet and you're still inconsistent, don't try to push yourself to keep trying new things. Do what makes you comfortable and progress naturally. If you try to focus on progressing in too many different areas at the same time, all you're doing is spreading yourself thin. Can't land a kickflip consistently? Don't try it down that 3 stair yet. But if you CAN do something consistently like they said in the video (like the guys who do the same 3 tricks at the park), push yourself. Try doing it in new areas, try doing it over that 3 stair. Push yourself at a healthy pace but don't go too hard that you end up scaring yourself from it.
I really really hope this helps, I’ve been skating for years and barely progressing, I cant even learn how to Ollie even though I’ve been practicing for years, sometimes I just wanna give up, I’ve tried all sorts of things to get better and it isn’t working, I feel like a poser even though I’m trying my best to learn :/
You just gotta send it man.
Just don’t think about it, just skate and naturally you’ll get into a groove because when you think, that’s when typically fuck up from my experience Atleast
Question: do you love skateboarding? If one doesn't love something or is not passionate about something then the drive to progress won't be there.
great video man
No way ur at the tally diy!! I used to skate this all the time right around covid time I wonder if I’ve ever seen u out there lol.
Too many good band shows there also I wonder if they’ll ever finish that kidney bowl there
