A shell and gloves are a must which it sounds like you have. Keep riding and youll get the hang of it. It's a huge plus if you find a crew to skate with cause they will encourage you to skate often and improve your skills by doing so.
Gear is the key! When I have my gear on I somehow never fall down + I have more courage! Speedwobbles can be avoided (I'm not sure how but you had to buy something). Seriously you dont need to givee up! :)
If you're getting the wobs, it might be because your trucks are set at a high degree(50+), you have too lose trucks, and or you have weak ankles with not much confidence :/ In any case, if you're bushings are too soft or your trucks are too lose, make sure your nuts are tight and that if your bushings are too soft for you, replace them with some harder ones. A lower degree truck would also really help when going faster(~45) In the end, just believe in yourself bro. and skate hard :)
where is this held? i'm from the uk and i'm hoping to go out to canada and america on a gap year. this looks so sick! we haven't got hills like these in england!! haha. so yeah, any help would be appreciated. cheers :)
They are not even that good man, you gotta practice a lot, i think im good enough to do it very well in those nice ramps and stuff but yeah just believe it dude you can.

Man i'll probably never be good enough to ride one of these events. sick
4:20 nothing more exillerating than that moment when you struggle to stay on, prepare to bail, and then don't.
Great video Good Times!!!
this is really what it's about, man.
It'd be cool if there was a commentated version by landyachtz also...I like the kind of "welcome!" that last years had, with Yates
YEH LADS! KILLER FILM!
I guess this means that I've got another item on my bucket list: Make a fool of myself at Giant's Head and enjoy doing so.
Un evento así en España ¡Por favor!

Kick out with your feet, it involves your whole body to move to transfer to your board to force the wheels to break traction.
Keep at it, and make sure you do it every day.
***** thx you both I try but I live in Canada bro the now is harsh here cant wait till summer
brett hansen you and me both lol
trapinator900 lol its ok bro im shurre we will both get it down i havve been watching alot of youtube videos an ive been paying alot of attension and i have been lerning it is a whole body movement in te slid not just you legs and arms
Where is This fucking Good Place?
wolfshark wonnnnn
Some people just want to watch the world burn
I like 4:05
que vibe ! hahahhahahahaha
Is bad I am in the uk
hahah 2:37
4:26 : Hesh as fuck
scooters
I mean, if they're reverse kingpin trucks then yeah, of course.
Keep the trucks loose and improve your tuck. Loose trucks save lives. Having a board that won't turn is no way to skate.
