Where did you learn to be so methodical in your practicing and in learning something new? Was it a previous hobby, sports, or work etc? Your approach to learning and teaching is really cool.
Oh, thank you! I don't know exactly...I did teach myself guitar as a hobby when I was younger. And I've learned and taught a few languages. For example, with a language, I need to be able to completely think from the perspective of that language in it's culture because if I think from my US American-English perspective, I'll rarely be able to translate my thoughts well. I feel like I am doing that in a way. Not translating, but thinking in the skate context of motion if that makes sense? What similar motion could help train this one or make this less scary? When I can't get a trick, I try to break down exactly what the board is doing and I am doing and look for a connection instead of forcing it. What am I doing that's causing this reaction? Let's try moving my feet. Let's try leaning back. Let's try jumping forward. But, I've always just been really analytical in my problem solving (breaking stuff down and building it back up). No matter the subject or problem, I try to break it down into parts and look for creative solutions. I always feel like there are more--often easier--solutions out there. We just need to stumble upon them. It has inspired me to do more research on the body and brain recently though! So, I'll have some related content on that eventually too 😃
Your channel is so good it almost makes me wanna cry! I am a 34yo male beginner skateboarder, I've started about 2 months ago and I watch your videos daily!

Probably the best channel on TH-cam for beginners. I love how your tutorials are so in depth! I've just started skating 3 days ago and I've progressed a shit-ton thanks to you.
Great video (as always)! This is one of those techniques that seems simple, but I have a vague sense of "hmm, I'm not doing this very effectively...". The way you break things down in detail, with plenty of good and bad examples, is so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much! 😃 There are a lot of skateboard tricks that are deceptively difficult. So, I always try to break anything down as much as I can, even if it looks really "easy". I'm glad all the examples are helpful too. I'll definitely keep trying to include those!
I've always let the board hit the ground before trying to jump on and it made it so hard to keep the board straight and land on the bolts cause it'd bounce! Thank you! Excited to try things!
I can imagine this becoming second nature, but for beginners, knowing the steps, positioning and timing is a learning curve. This was very very helpful, thank you!
@@SarahParkMatott But always make sure, tha tland with both feet on the bolts. Years ago i landet with the front foot to much on the nose and made a moonsault xD
@@SarahParkMatott Oh yes. Last week, i took my old deck, two wooden blocks, and voila, now my wife has a practice board. She saw also yor videos and it was inspiring for her.
Sarah! Your step by step break downs are super helpful! My running starts are sloppy, but I’m going to to try your methods today! You have inspire people
Your videos are so helpful!!! Could you make a video of ollie while riding? I kinda stuck here and not improved! I can ollie stationary but anytime when I try to ollie while rolling, i am so scared. So I use a really slow speed to do it and then my skateboard stopped rolling everytime I tried. I heard a lot of skateboarder in my country said that you should jump forward when you try to ollie over sth but idk if it’s true or not. PS thanks for your tutorial videos, they really helped me out!!!
Hi! I have wanted to make a rolling ollie video for a few months, but unfortunately, we've just had really bad weather, and the places I can skate are really limited right now. But, as soon as we have some nice weather, I am definitely going to be going out and filming that one! It's high on my list as soon as there are sunny days when I'm not working. I will say right now that jumping forward didn't help me personally. It made me ollie at an angle and it was much harder. I struggled mostly because it takes more strength to level out the ollie when rolling. I'm on it though! And thank you! I'm glad the videos have been helpful :D
I've been skating for an embarrassingly long time to still be rubbish at these, but could never find any real tips for how to learn them - experienced skaters just do them and don't get that they're actually a thing to be learned! Soooo excited to finally find this video, exactly what I've been looking for 🤩 thank you!!
I've never seen tutorials as detailed, precise and useful as yours! I'm just starting out with skateboarding and all your videos are gold to me! Thanks Sarah, keep it up !!
Great tutorial! I think you mentioning holding the board in front of your hip really helped. I think learning run starts would've been a lot harder if I didn't know this.
Loving your breakdown, step by step method. I teach guitar and do very similar teaching methods to make really fast complex patterns more understandable, it is all relative. :) Thanks again. Running starts look well cool
omgoodness. . . thank u. sooooo much. u wouldn't believe how far I've progressed without learning how to do this. PLEASE keep these up. every vid. I've seen guys r like "just throw it down". for seasoned skaters this is common sense and they've been skating so long that they don't remember wat was difficult for them 15+ yrs ago. ive found it so beneficial to learn from other beginners and u break this "easy ass" stuff down so well
ah, thank you! I'm so stoked to hear it. It's often the "easy" stuff that we struggle with, because what's intuitive to others is not intuitive to us. And there is absolutely nothing about skateboarding that can be truly called easy. It's all hard. Difficult and more difficult 😂 But, happy to hear the video helped!
personally I like to have my trucks a little bit bigger than my deck so that way when I do throw it down I don't have to worry about the board flipping its got a wide platform to land on
I am really happy to watch this video because I just start learning hippie jump haha🤣 I like your tips you always share tips precisely🙏 그리고 보드 넘 예뻐욧..!
I am learning this the last 3 days, once I put my foot a little bit to far to the left and I made a split with my legs, haha, today I am on it again :D
Thanks for this video. I've practiced this heaps but find it's almost a surprise when I get it right, not because I've nailed the skill. Main issue is my board bounces like crazy when I drop it such that who knows where my well placed foot is gonna end up. Makes me fearful of just going for it too. Not sure if you'll see this comment Sarah. Keep up the great vids 😊
Just got a board and gear. You r totally inspiring ppl with ur content. Keep up the practice and great work. I will be walking thru ur tutorials during my progress. Might stream or record some seshes along the way. I will let u know if do ;)
Hey! That's awesome. I'm glad you got your gear and are ready to tackle skating! And thank you. I'd really love for that to be the case. I hope my tutorials help 💪
Thanks so much! I followed your 4-step method and was able to do running starts in less than an hour! I’ll practice ollie using your instruction as well’
Tips for ollie-ing down it? If you're having some trouble committing, I would try to find something lower (even a curb) and work on ollie-ing faster and farther to give yourself more confidence! I'm always about building up from small steps. Then trying to find something higher like a two stair and really working up how fast and how far you can ollie off that! You might have already done this, but I would work on those and then in the same day try the two stair. That's how I worked on committing to dropping in. I don't have much experience with stairs though! If you don't like the first idea, I would recommend starting with something like a boneless or caveman down the three stair if you can jump that far. It might be a little less scary than an ollie, but you can get used to the drop and the distance! Whatever happens, you'll get it with practice💪
Hell yeah 👍 this is one of those things that will become super intuitive after you've done them a lot so you never have to even think about it again. That being said I've definitely stepped a bit off center from the bolts and lost my balance 😃 it happens!
Thanks for the steps ! I already know how to do it but didn't feel comfortable. With your video i realize that it's because i don't drag the tail. I'm doing some kind of caveman with a balancing motion harder to catch. Will try your method right now... Thanks again
@@SarahParkMatott it did Indeed. With tail drag I had it immediatly!. It wasn't really a caveman, but a balancing motion of the board, quite stressful. Now i'm zen
also something that helps me is to be confident when doing any action when riding. Being timid and afraid to fall usually ends in me falling. Cool tutorial btw
@@SarahParkMatott it's just been a week since I got my first board and watching your videos on breakdowns of tricks, gives me confidence for future. Also, I'm in your notification squad , keep them contents coming ,best wishes
@@arianrahman4840 aw thank you so much. Welcome to the notification squad 😂 I’m glad you’re enjoying the content that much. I’ll keep doing my best to put out more! Keep shredding and learning in the meantime💪
Tons of them 💪 There are a ton of awesome tricks you can learn before the ollie with varying skill levels. If I was on my computer, I would link a few videos, because I have a few videos on this already. I made a video called first 5 beginner tricks and another one called 20 tricks that don’t require an ollie. I also always recommend trying out beginner freestyle footwork/tricks like yo-yo hop and switchblade (I have tutorials for these), walk the dogs, endovers, monsterwalks (in the 5 first tricks video). These tricks help a lot with getting more board control. And they’re more fun (in my opinion) than just rolling around to get comfortable.
Every video I see of yours just blows my mind with how well you break everything down step by step! Amazing. I’m a super beginner and I’m working on manuals now, but I think I can add working on this too; I’ve kind of always wanted, but was afraid because I didn’t understand the mechanics. You step 1 is that same I used to finally get the confidence to do a caveman.
i got that pretymuch straight away in the steps described in this vid i have watched a few tutorials by different people and i love the way you put yourself in the mindset of when you were learning really helpfull and you have a calming effect
Awesome. The next in this progression is the caveman!!! Hey my testimonial is after 10 years of laying off from skating. I slowly got everything back through the same approach hippy Jump, pivots, monster walk, toe flip, and the running start. The other one that helped was running and jumping on the board sitting still.
@@SarahParkMatott BTW. Did you check out the link that I left you. If it doesn’t work the do a search for Bill Danforth Street Survival. It’s an instructional video that’s ancient but worth watching. Especially for a skate scholar such as yourself!

love u sarah .. thank u .. ❤❤
Great tutorial also how many run up steps should you take?
I think it just depends on on fast you want to go. Some people take as few as a step to just jump on or actually run and hop on to go fast. ☺️
Your videos are so helpful ,thanks
