- Watch my 1-year Skateboard Progression video: • 1 Year SKATEBOARD PROG...
I skated when I was 11 but was only able to ride around and couldn't ollie or even ride down curbs, so I gave it up. Bought a skateboard again when I was 19 but still never learned to ollie, only cruising around and gave up pretty quickly too. Fast forward 6 years and I decided to skate again and really try this time. Didn't give up, so here's what I got so far.
All of the songs in this video are originals by bands I'm in (do check 'em out!):

I hope this video encourages you to start skating and progressing because watching other people's progression videos really keeps me motivated and excited to skate and progress. Hope it does the same for you. #Skatebooarding #SkateboardProgression #ProgressDaily
Thanks for watching this video! My 1-year progression update is out, check it out here: th-cam.com/video/7vRWYutarlU/w-d-xo.html
Appreciate all the kind words, keep skating! :)
Hey man this is Marco! Sheesh you got so many views and likes on this video grats! Next time I should making an appearance in you videos, it will skyrocket the likes XD
@@ab-ue9yx yooo wassup Marco! yeah crazy it just blew up one random day. yeah man skate tgt again when you’re back in SG!
hi man. great vid! what wheels are you rocking?
Dope I remember I use to sesh when I was younger but looking forward to getting back soon or later again. Wonder hows your improvement now since this was a while back.?
Oh wow. I have the same shoes. The one you bought new.
this is inspiring yo
im glad it is! cheers!
Even though you lost your Ollie for a bit, you didn’t give up. Good job!👍
@@JovanLee Watched the vid as i also just got back into SKating and am 25 and now im like motivated as fuck lmao thanks man
I’ve been skating since I was like 11 or 12 and I’m 16 now and bro your better than me ngl
for real I quit skateboarding a year ago now I'm back at it
I'm a 39yo that started skating recently. Today was the first day I could almost push without feeling like I was going to fall off. Baby steps. Great video man!
U can do it🔥🔥🔥
Don't wanna sound like a dee, but aren't we getting too old for this *stuff* , Riggs?
@@TheRazzaManazza I live in New York city where it's really convenient being able to zip around on a skateboard.
My aim isn't to do tricks. It's to get confident to ride around and eventually work up to an electric skateboard.
@@KENTOSI sweet!
You can do it just before u start doing tricks practice cruising around on your board
my mans fashion sense progressed along with his skateboarding
Indeed damn
Its pretty usual
Skate clothes are just Superior
Happens to all of us
When I first started skating i would wear cringe kid stuff like Fortnite clothes, but now I wear Vans, thrasher, Ext.
as a 26 year old taking up skating, its never too late, thanks for the inspiration
im 26 too gonna start skating soon
But isn't 26 young too?
26 isn’t even old. I feel like during mid 30s/40s when your body starts to disintegrate is too late
@@offbeatsofficial lmao yes it is. Idk what made them believe 26 is old
I stoped skating 8 years ago, when i start work and study in the colege. Today, i am 26. I want to retorn. (Sorry for my english, i'm learn)
Best progression video ive seen, people usually jump to other tricks right after and leaving their ollies rocket but your ollies are leveled out pretty good
hey thanks man, i made it a point. but need to go back to practicing ollies more as i’ve been focusing a lot more on learning new tricks 👍
Really! I got this speed in two months
The messed up ankle part is me af. I used to skate whenever I was a kid and was hella good. Quit for almost 12 years and decided to try skating again at 29. It's been a struggle, I've messed up my knee and my ankle. But I've got fs 180s, front shuvs, nollie shuvs, Fakie 180s, kickflips, ollies, and nose slides down. Stay strong, kings! Stay motivated.
Do u mess up your knee from skateboarding?
@@Introspectiverider99 yes. I messed up my left knee once. It was swollen and hurt soooo bad for days :/
@@chzy_hokage2998 how did u mess it up? I did skate for few hours when I got my skateboard and noticed my knee hurt the next day but wasn’t aware it could be from skateboarding.
@@Introspectiverider99 oh um, I was practicing ollieing higher and whenever I'd landed, my back foot slipped off and my knee twisted.
What I've learned (with being in my 30s)is to always stretch before and after a session. And with skating, you're using every joint in your legs so rotate your ankles for a while and do a few squats (because you're doing so much bending and jumping)
@@chzy_hokage2998 wow, thanks for that. Good to know!
When he said ollies were automatic that was so motivating sheesh killed it
thank you! gotta keep improving
Whats your ig? you're beautiful 😍

yooo thanks for all the kind words! never thought this video would be getting close to a hundred K views so that’s pretty crazy. thanks to everyone who watched, hope it inspired you to go skate!
anyway i’m working on a 1 year progression video to show you guys how i’m doing with my skating. it’ll likely be out early January 2021 so keep a look out for that. stoked to share my progress.
and yes, i’ll stop calling it vert.
do you have an instagram??
Your crazy dedicated bro I assumed you meant you used to skate and you quit then picked it back up but no you started this fast which is great! Keeep grinding skate every fucking day!!!
I was just struggling with fakie shuvs, literally took a break and watched this video, that started landing them pretty consistently. This video gave me some life. Love the dedication from you in this video
Sweet progression! I just turned 24 last week and bought my first skateboard! Let’s do this thing!
right on dude! never give up and all the best!
Also 24, also got my first board recently - about a month ago. So fun to be a total beginner at something for the first time in a awhile.
Best of luck to both of you!
How’s it going? I’m thinking of starting my journey........
@@TheAznChild911 I'm curious to how it's going for them too. But you should definitely go for it homie!
Not only did bro slowly start getting better, but you can also tell he lost a lot of weight. Proud of you dawg keep it up
thanks man, dropped 4kgs in those 4 months
this guy's ollies are better than mine and ive been skating almost three years lol, took me a full year to ollie and another year and some to front 180 and shuv
Casperthegh000st i think it will be the Same with me i am Working in my ollies since 2 months and there don’t really Progress and for the Shuv it I never put the second foot 🙄🤯
Alo Emilia with shuvs I had that problem but then my brain was jus like if u don’t commit rn ur dog will die so I comitted and landed it😅
Ezanask8s ok hahah I will try that 😀
@@ParanoidPrincess I had the same problem but landed my first shuvit yesterday. Try to think about jumping, like concentrate on that even if u think u r jumping eneough try jumping even more this will help u to commit. lemme now when u land it
i landed my first shove it after 1 week of skating.. you just gotta get that fear away and commit and yeah you will fall a lot but that's what makes it better
He’s so naturally good at ollies wtf
nah this is just what happens when you grind everyday to get them nice, im 5 months in can can level 90% of my ollies
@@Hixor he started out really good.
the secret is to concentrate on just popping the board and landing on the spot, levelling it out comes naturally
@@rileygraham8952 right now my ollies r really good but i can’t do them moving. my pop isn’t fast enough i think :,(
@@sierrasmith8722 boohoo
you can really see the progression, it's awesome, keep it up man!!
Thank you!
Just turned 25 this year and also starting to skate and this vid makes me feel encouraged even more. Will keep on skating!!
I'm a 25 year old woman and picked up my first board two weeks ago so this is pretty inspiring. Cool!
Nice you are not going to regret it, the freedom and happiness that you will get from skateboarding I don’t even have a word for it
Euphoria/ cloud 9 imagine yourself riding on freeway and it’s sunset with ur headphones on no one is around heaven on earth.
Awesome! Do you live in The Netherlands? I would love to skateboard together
@@Jninez would love that, sorry I live in dubai
Too bad! What about you appie? I’m also a women and I’m looking for other woman to skate with! Let me know :)
Been skating for 19 years and I’m still ass. This was some inspiring shit
It's funny to see that the style always changes as well
Dude ! I just started at 25 too ! Thanks for the video, it shows us we can do it even though people make you believe that it's too late. So thanks again for the motivation 😁
Never too late! I just got back into skating at 34/35 after being out for almost 20yrs. Definitely gets harder as you get older, but I think I actually love it more now than I did as a kid. So much fun! Glad you decided to start. It’s so rewarding so I know you’ll love it as well!
dude when you took the drop in to the big quarter right away i was so impressed haha youre going to progress SO fast
subscribed!! keep going :)
thanks man! probably the adrenaline rush after dropping in on the smaller one. now looking at it, it looks massive to me.
I’m 25 and just getting back at it. You’re an inspiration
I started skating at 21 love to see other people like me starting at a older age keep it up dude! I’m leaving a like and a sub if you ever need some tips and things like that people in my comments are really helpful!
Haha, I wouldn't say you're that old yet man. I got back into it at 35, couldn't do much more than ride around (not fakie/switch), ollie (kind of) and short boardslides on a DIY rails that was pretty much as low as could possibly be, at age 12 or so. Never too old to learn skateboarding I'd say. I'm not yet doing all my tricks consistently moving now, but I did already manage to land a few varial kickflips within only a month or 7 and am about to land my first kickflip any day now, out of which 2 months or so had me skating almost every day (for 1 hour up to say 3 hours). In those two months I've progressed a _lot_ ! I'd say older people can still learn very quickly when they try to skate every single day. And take it slow too, it is better to not get hurt and not have to wait weeks before you can skate again, than to get frustrated about getting hurt over and over. No need to rush anything even when it may feel like progression is taking a lot of time. It's a good work out either way, even when it obviously will take time to get the kickflip and tre flip and stuff like that. Oh and while I think it may not apply necessarily to you yet, it is a good idea to stretch before skateboarding when you get older. That should prevent muscle tearing and such too, even for younger people.
PHeMoX I stretch all the time when I skate I like to get in the routine of it so I get used to it. I want to get out and skate everyday but anytime I get the chance to I do!
you have instagram? i’m really trying to learn how to ollie.
@@KariKobain I do @grizz_minizz
dude I just picked up skating at age 25 too, love to see other “older” folks (lol) taking it up. Shit is so fun and challenging, this def inspired me to stick with it. Good on ya mane
I want to record my progress too, i just get anxious that people are going to judge me at my skatepark or something
Don't
Skater record themselves all the time no one will find it weird
They'd probably try to help I don't think they'll judge no worries
The only reason I don’t wanna go to a skatepark is cause I know people there and have like history with them if u know what I mean and they’re all boys lmao
@@avas3397 go street skating w a friend instead
Same, I want to learn skateboarding and there is a new skate park near my street I badly wanna learn skating there. I'm just anxious to try because the skaters might laugh at me
This is hella inspiring to watch man! I just started learning skateboard at the age of 24, so to see someone around my age progressing the way you have is amazing. Definitely going to go at it even harder after watching this. Much love!
The progress looks really good, next thing for you is the kickflip
Much appreciated, man. I got back into it at 26 after a long hiatus, and it’s really been helping to see this vid. Thanks for helping viewers like me want to continue to progress.
3:57
That scared the hell out of me! Lmao
Bruhh I knew exactly what it was when I clicked the timestamp and still got scared🤣💀
Getting after it man this made me super happy
This gave me the motivation I needed to begin again. Thank you, Jovan!
Just got back into skating a couple months ago and I'm about the same age. It's all coming back to me man, you'll get there in now time!
Seeing stuff like this keeps me going. I’m 29, bought my first board couple weeks ago and was starting to second guess myself. Videos like this are inspiring. Great work bro!
thanks man! all the best and have fun skating!
videos like this give me hope that I'm not too old to start getting decent at skating. nice job man
Keep it up man! Been skating for about 12 years now and im 26. And its cool to see more people getting into it at an older age. There was alot of us in the school years but now there's maybe only a group of 10 of us still skating in our mid 20s and 30s. Keep on pushing!
Fuck yeah dude! I'm 22 and in my first months of skating, always loved the culture and finally decided to buy myself a board. Still working on levelling out my ollies. Good stuff!
You learned quite a bit especially for only 4 months of skating. One thing that could help you improve is working to keep your shoulders straighter. When you Ollie I notice often times you land a little crooked sometimes. If you focus on keeping your shoulders square with the board you will be able to straighten ollies out and eventually kick flips, heel flips, and more. When you do a 180 you throw your shoulders to direct the skateboard to make it work correctly. The skateboard always follows the shoulders so when you’re not keep them square you’re bound to land a little bit sideways where your shoulders were when you the skateboard took off. Good luck brotha, keep grinding, you’re killin it. 🤙
That sprain was gnarly, props for continuing to skate that’s awesome.
Big up SG woooo
Can't believe I only started skating when I moved to the UK :(
Its always rainy and cold and the ground is nowhere near as flat and smooth
I miss you ECP
The uk is so shit for skating
You give me hope to keep going at 21. 🔥
I’m roughly 9 years older than you and haven’t skated for years but it’s amazing to see someone going through the same things I did when I first started lol. Keep up the good work and stay consistent. Eventually it becomes natural. Tuck and pop that front foot on your ollies they will get higher. Confidence is everything!
I'm really impression with your 4 month progression. Loved the commentary "Didn't die!" relatable lmfao. Look forward to seeing your next progression video :)
I'm 24 and I'd love to learn to skateboard but I'm such a massive wimp lol, scared of falling off just standing on it, let alone riding it XD haha. I feel like fear has stopped me from trying so many things in life..
So proud of you bro. Thank you for showing the process. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all of the 8 year olds who are smashing el Toro. Your progression is a flex in a league of its own👍
You're my inspiration, I been skating for so long and can't even drop it, just stationary ollies it'll save this video so i knlw what i have to work on
This motivated me to try to learn dude! I'm 24 and always wanted to try. I've never been able to get on to the board without falling and I'm a bit embarrassed to be trying so late, but I bought my first board last night and some pads today and after seeing this video, I think I'll be ok with learning the basics!
dude these were the exact places i used to skate at... nostalgic man
Perfect! I’m two weeks away from starting a four month summer holiday so now I know what I have on my bucket list!
yo that was 7 months ago, imagine him now, he prolly does some crazy shit like tre flipping of a cliff and landing it.
thanks for posting man, im 26 and trying to pick up skating again after 3 years of not stepping onto a board. appreciate that u posted the duds too, those are important parts of getting better
This is awesome!! I'm also getting back into skating, wish I had more skate friends though. I find it more motivating, but it's still rewarding skating alone:) keep it up ma dude
dude this made me happy to watch, keep skating it’ll only get easier!
I used to skate from when i was 12 years until i was 21 years old. im 31 now and startet to skate again. it took me like 6 month to proper heelflip. Its frustrating to learn all that tricks again, but when u have it down it feels so good
This inspired me, I’ve been skating technically for 4 years, but never took it seriously and now this motivated me to get better!
It’s been 10 years since I quit skating. Thinking I’ll have to get a board again after this
Hope you got a board
I'm a 33 year old Dad of 2 and I've just started learning to skate.
This is exactly the motivation I've needed. Thanks for including the falls and challenges. I'm going to start recording my own progress now to keep track of the slow improvements I make.
Thanks mate!
Dope man im 26 with a baby coming in a month and waiting for my board in the mail now!
Lockdown, what a great time to work on a hobby. i did exactly the same and skate nearly every day now. love to see it
This is actually pretty dope and at least for me it’s inspiring. I’m in my 20’s now and am an avid snowboarder and have been regretting not learning skateboarding when I was younger so I’d have something to do in the seasons that aren’t winter (so most of the year haha). I think now I’ll try learning some basic skateboarding now. Thanks man.
I never comment on youtube videos, but this brought me back to my first few months of skating years and years ago. Landing a new trick in skateboarding is one of the best feelings in the world, and I honestly miss it a lot. Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us
Only 4 months? This would have taking me a year👏😍
Im glad you started off just pushing cuz it really helps
Meanwhile I’ve been skating for over a year and can barely do an ollie
This inspired me to go back into skateboarding, didn’t think I needed this but I did. Keep doing yo shit dawg!
I'm 33 and watching this thinking "its been 20 years but i want to get back into skateboarding immediately"
U can do it!!! Just go on
@@lonelylovelynoel i bought a board last week, it arrived the other day. Such a great idea
@@shayZero hows it been for you so far?
just bought my firs board an im 37 so you can do it to
@@dhrdogterom how is it?
I Applaud you man, it's really inspiring to see how much effort have you put into progress, even when you get injured, you still keep skating. I've returned to skate too, i've been skating for 12 years and I left it for like 2 and half years, and see videos like this reminds me of how beautiful is skating, how good does it feel to land your first new trick, how good does it feel when you improve yours tricks... everything. Don't quit, keep skating, I hope to see another vid from you for your "9 months progress"!!
thanks man! skateboarding is awesome. 1 year video coming soon!
We need more videos like this...im 33 and have never really stopped skating, but if you don't use it .you lose it. Stay active and have fun with life. Skating is a great way to do so🤘🏾
this is cool af just started skating this summer and youre a little better than i am rn its cool to see people who have just begun get better! u killin it
Looking good man, left a sub! 👍 No Comply 180's looking clean, I've tried them once and ended up doing the splits, will be trying them again this month!
thanks dude! i love no comply 180s. Good luck bud!
Love it !!
I know the feeling bro..
I started when I was 8.. Got pretty good to. Quit when I was 14..started back up again at 26. I'm 41 now.
🤘 Do your thang Brother 🤘
keep it up, i'm 38 and trying to re-learn after many years away from the board
We are same..im 37 & still learn...
im 37 and just pickt up my first board lots of falling but realy like it
Good stuff man, progress is what is so cool about skateboard, just you and the deck fighting it out
Thats very Inspiring! Started out recently and im 20yo, it's never too late :D!!
right on dude!
Dude I’m 40 and just picked up a board lol
Man nice video you got talent and dedication for sure I got scared at 18 going back to skate after a break of 7 years( I'm skating again today) but you're a legend for doing it with 25 years much respect age is only a number
I’m 25 and trying to learn too so this really helped
Wow, I’m super inspired!
I’m 40 and haven’t skated since I was 12 so, not really the same category, but I’m feeling excited about learning! 😊 👍
you have to commit, don’t be scared of falling coz it WILL happen. That’s how you learn friends
I think I’m just to scared to do tricks because I don’t wanna sprain or break anything
Great progress man. Imagine you’d be killing it a year later.
Watching this video currently laid up post ACL surgery. I’ll be roughly 25 by the time the knee’s solid again, so this gives me a lot of hope to get back on the board. Inspirational stuff, thanks for posting.
I've bought a skateboard recently at age 24 with my friend, I thought maybe I was a bit old, tall and chubby for this but you really boosted my confidence, thank you :)
This is a roast
@@MAPLEFREAK94 what do you mean?
I myself started skateboarding at the age of 35. It's never too late to start trying something new. I like to hear this kind of inspiring and supporting comments.
It's not too late! I started at 25 and still going 2 years later. I'm also 6'3" (190cm) by the way ;) Skating is also a great way to get in shape without really feeling like you're exercising
What a brave man we got here, learning skateboard tricks in shorts
it takes a braver man to skate in pants in the hot afternoon sun in singapore
@@JovanLee 😂😂 you're right
Im 27, been skating since I was 6 but I still remember the hype of these fundamentals. You're learning quickly, keep it up!
Something to do during quarantine!
Dude I literally have the same backstory as yours: learnt how to ride around at 13 but stopped there. Tried again at 20 but never learnt how to ollie etc. I'm turning 25 this year and I decided to really skate again since January. I thought it was a bit too late for me to learn from scratch, but your video is super encouraging and motivating. Thanks for sharing your journey!
I just began skating a little over two weeks ago. I'm attempting to do an Ollie but unfortunately it's not as easy as it looks 😅 I also just turned 21 so this makes me feel better
I kept saying “nice bro!” Like almost out loud during this vid lol. Cool to see the progress and I can relate to so much of this
OMG this is like the best progression video ever bruh- the progression has me dead im still trying to learn to ollie-
thank you for motivating me :) i’ll try harder every day from now on ! you’re killing it man !!
thanks man! you’re doing great i’m sure
We all suffer that first injury that put us out from skate, for me was my elbow (5 months without skating but I'm back)
Falling hurts a lot more in later life. Can confirm after trying to get back into skating at 23 about 5 years after I stopped.
Good work. Keep it up : )
That is the most mellow bowl I’ve ever seen
Love vids like these. I skated for about 10 years straight and never could get no comply 180s so props to you for that. Looks like you kinda got into "skate shape" towards the end to so good job man!
Inspired me to pick up a board. Thank youu! Your perseverance has definitely reached out to many people like me
I started skating yesterday wish me luck ❤️
good luck! skate safe!
Bro I am 26 and thinking and I never did any skateboarding in my life but recently I had the urge to try it. And your video has been a huge inspiration to me. But its also kinda a confrontational video. Because some of these clips give me so much anxiety, you attempt stuff that I can't even think of attempting in 1 year time. And you are skating like a absolute lion few months in. You seem to have no fear and your commitment is admirable. And you just seem to have the right mindset and commitment for it.
Ok who the hell disliked?
Jealous people
His ankle lmao
Super fast progress. I've been learning since lock-down and I have a long way to go. I'm 33 and can appreciate how painful those slip-outs can be! Inspiring work :)
I’ve been skating for 2 months and can’t even Ollie
@epicly epic bruh that’s mean
came up on my recommended and i love it so muchhhhh its the most inspiring progression video ive come across so far
thanks man! appreciate it
I needed this video man, I’m 25 and I’m going to buy my first board tomorrow. I used to skate as a teen and I fell down and quit immediately after lmao, but the desire has been tearing apart inside to start again. Hopefully your skating journey goes well!!
Same for me
Bought mine one year ago, in July and I was 25 too, how is it going?
bruh i’ve been skateboarding for a year and can’t kickfl
Yeah me too, but I can land and roll away a very slow heelflip in fakie when I m very lucky
@@davtech420 fakie heel sounds sick, it will come in time
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 good job my man. I'm here in the same boat. In my 30s trying to remember the things I used to do in my young teenage yrs.
Короче, на русском напишу! Ахуенно видео, очень эмоциональное! Меня вдохновило! Very emotional and inspiring, i glad to see your vid! 🔥 Enjoy your life!
