I find it really helpful! I started skateboarding very late in life at 57, so I need all the tips I can get. Progression for me lies in the smallest details, so I am happy when tutorials go into those to make me aware of what I need to do on the tiniest levels. Thank you!
Haha, I know. I'm 45 and just started out too. I feel balance is hard for me while pushing. Feel like such an idiot when kids ask if they can borrow my board and then head off with it like it's the easiest thing in the world 🙄😀
@@w3dnesd4y57 well on the positive side I think it is nice for my skateboard to experience tricks when a kid borrowed it 🤣. Tricks I can't do. You have an IG I can follow your skateboard journey on? My G handle has the same name as here on YT.
Rock on! I'm eating up these tutorials, too. The video absolutely nailed all the mistakes I was making after my first day of trying to ride. While I'm refinitely glad I had some chance to crash and burn for a while to learn what I was going to struggle with, I'm even more glad I've got suggestions on how to practice and get past these early hurdles
Same ... last time i skated was 14 yrs ago i just want to make sure i still doin it right lol 32 now and still kickin 😂 never did tricks so i prepare bevore im next on "scars" is that show still going tho ?
@@diegobrando3373 Ballancing on my board is a nightmare, let alone just riding, when you remember how you could just pull off all these things as a kid you get overconfident.
I've been pushing and cruising for years, but only just got into tricks. Suddenly all my friends wanna learn too, so I'm going back to basics to help them too. Thanks for this video so much :)
Thank you so so much! I got my first skateboard recently and just can’t manage to push properly and this is such a nice simple way to explain it. So thanks man!
That actually helps i really like ur pointers i am trying to get back into skating ur videos are helping me with somethings that i didn't even know thx
Thanks for the video man. I'm starting to skate and I've always been feeling my push is just "trying to not kill myself while awkwardly going forward". I'm gonna try to train a bit with my front leg like you recommended, maybe my board felling will improve a bit. I've been told by my friend I skate with that my balance is visibly shifted to the front; I think maybe it's connected to my "push" issue? If not, I'd love to watch your vid for begginer skaters about balancing your weight on board (it's a bit embarrassing to ask for such a trivial thing, but hey, you've got to learn it somewhere).
This actually helped me a lot. I've been practicing skating and I've gotten fairly comfortable balancing on a moving board and I can turn left and right with my weight, but my push has been janky af. I've been doing that thing where I push too far back, like I reach my foot behind the board and so I'm not really getting much out of it.
This video works the same for learning to push Switch. I will say also for balancing on one leg is to do it over bumps, manholes and cracks to help for dexterity. Those bumpy dots for blind people at traffic crossings are really good for this also. Just skate back and forth over one of them for an hour and you'll master balancing on one foot. It's how I learned to push Switch!
I was doing all the wrong things and this video is actually so helpful. I’m not obviously as good as him. I’m still doing short distances at a time. But I can feel the difference as I feel more comfortable and how my balance feels better. I’m still wobbly a little and hopping off bc I’m a little scared. But this video is so helpful and he is right, with time you will get better. And I will too. ❤
Thanks for doing this stuff for people that are new in the world of sk8, I'm starting to learn and your videos give me a lot of motivation, greetings from Colombia :D
Another good tip is use soft wheels first to learn to push and nust cruise around, it helped me a lot, i came from mango pushing to regular pushing all because 78A wheels
Thanks for the video lol, I tried skating about a few days ago and had no luck but I just realized that I was actually pushing while my feet were in like the sideways position and not facing forward
this is perfect timing!! i look so awkward when i push, my pushing foot is always so far from my front foot lol and it makes it difficult to push straight
basically you run while holding your board in one hand while the tail is scraping against the ground and you lean forward. after you have ran like 2-4 steps you let go of the board and kinda jump on top of it. might be hard at first. you should be fine like 95% of the time. the other 5% you will just fall on your face cuz ya board went every direction there is
@@oek clearly he’s asking a video on how to throw down a penny board which should be common sense that he don’t even know how to throw down a regular skateboard at all. Imagine learning a treflip on a penny board. Just because you can don’t mean he could as well
i remember back when i would constantly look up what mongo pushing was before i had a a skateboard to know what it is and remember it and i feel like its cool to sometimes appreciate how far you come even when its not insane. equally important to not stop this from the ultimate drive of continuing to learn and grind everyday you know what i meaaaaan
pretty good video! looked at a couple rn. first time back on a board in like 20years and I'm super wobbly. will keep your tips in mind next time I'm back on my board
Hi, I'm new here 😊 and I'm a new skateboarder who just bought a skateboard today. Thanks to my son who took me to the skateboard shop today. I'm 43 years old. Great video and all these tips for me as a beginner. 😊🛹😎
please disregard as a stupid question if it is, and it probably will be, but~ i’ve noticed in almost every video like this that i see, the left foot is dominant, right is push. i’ve always always always been right dominant, left push. is that weird or incorrect in some way? 😂
I got my first board today! thankyou for the tips...I need it... but by the end of the day i can now go 5 feet without garbing the wall, even if my arms are up in an atempt to balance
today i rode a skateboard for the first time and turning my front foot (to push a second time) was harder than i expected so i'm watching other people to learn from them lol was fun though
just started with skateboard. and exactly my issue.... barely pick up speed when pushing. but at least I am bit faster than average walking LoL. but its my 3rd day so need more more more much more practice 😂
This is SO important. I starded riding longboard couple months ago and oooh man...after an entire week I was able to push and stay both feet on the board. I know most people stand on a skate and just roll, for me I am very tall and I think that was something that bothered me for balance.
I got my board last Christmas, its a Deathwish board but I got it prebuilt with little research and am kind of paying the price for it. The board is 8'38 inch, and im 5'2-5'4 with a size 7 shoe so its a little big for me. The trucks are too small, the wheels are in between cruising and tricks which hardness which is not ideal, and the whole thing overall was pretty cheap since it was 110 or 120 with them building it for me for 10 bucks (and a included skate tool). I would say do your research 100%, I recommend the Tactics youtube channel and go for it if you're confident man. Ask more experienced people if you can too. This next birthday I'm gonna splurge for about a 200 dollar setup 🙏
@Please don’t rimshot me yea man I was planning on getting a baker deck. And I'm gonna jump down to an 8 inch too, independent trucks, skate junt griptape, red bone bearings, 1/8 independant risers, and spitfire wheels is the dream setup. I put together a setup online but I'm also heavily considering visiting a local shop cuz I know that's important.
finally a trick i can actually execute
Lmao

Im still trying to learn this trick

If it doesn't affect your skating or progress, maybe learn regular just so you can have the flexibility, not necessarily to unlearn a 30 yr skill

Could you please make one on how to throw down your board properly? :(
I don’t think that’s a good idea since depending how big you are you’ll eat shit and die. Just lay it down and push from there
basically you run while holding your board in one hand while the tail is scraping against the ground and you lean forward. after you have ran like 2-4 steps you let go of the board and kinda jump on top of it. might be hard at first. you should be fine like 95% of the time. the other 5% you will just fall on your face cuz ya board went every direction there is
