    Finally a honest video. All the other beginner videos don't break it down enough. They act like its easy. Pushing for me is really hard and I think I'm gonna stick to this series to get better.

    Would be nice to have such nice underground for skatboarding, in my City even parking lots have bad ground so when you go downhill it still stops you after a while.

    @Gamer Daily - No. I never feel self-conscious at the skatepark. age has nothing to do with skating. There are guys 10 years my senior who skate way better than me. Skateboarding is for anyone of any age. Check out these guys...

  • @Coosics
    @Coosics 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yeah keep your weight centred over your board! It takes practice to get it down perfect. Experiment with different feet positions as well.
    As for tick tacking, just start off doing small movements and don't bring the front end of the board to high up. Keep your weight centered and lean slightly forward to counter that board flicking up!

    @humor527 - Jumping off is a great option, as long as you are moving slower than running speed. If you are going faster than you can run, it tends to end badly.

  • @LearnToSkateboard

    @LeanneSchofield - You're very welcome. I'm glad it has helped. Thanks for voicing your appreciation. Such gratitude makes the efforts all worthwhile.

    You're not the only one learning at that age. Besides it doesn't really matter how old you are when you skate, having fun is the main part.

  • @BESTUS3RN4MEEVR
    @BESTUS3RN4MEEVR 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    i can help! i learned to ollie by practicing in really flat grass. if you fall it dosent hurt that bad because you'll be in the grass, and once you feel that you got, you can do it wherever! that's how i learned

  • @topjimmy72
    @topjimmy72 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    In used to the old school 10" boards from the 80's. I picked up one of these modern ones and its a lot harder to keep your balance. Then again, I'm starting out again after 20 years of not skating and I suck.

  • @dovnabb4004076
    @dovnabb4004076 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks, but i mean would it help that i already know how to keep my balance. Another problem i had was the fact that on a surfboard im regular, but when snowboarding i can switch easily between goofy and regular with no problems, how do i know what i am on a skateboard?

  • @SuperMinime911
    @SuperMinime911 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    put on some protective gear and try it. You may look stupid but it will give you the confidence to do it. Also try doing an ollie on grass or on a carpet first so that you know that if you fall you won't get hurt hitting the ground.

    I'm a beginner and just got a cruiser. I tried a classic skateboard before but for some reason I find a cruiser more comfortable :P Maybe it's cuz i'm pretty small I don't know. I still freak out when I get near a hill though :P Working on stopping at the mo.

    how loose do your trucks need to be to carve that well? Do they need to get to the point of wobbling around if you shake the board?

  • @xxpatrickxxxxxx
    @xxpatrickxxxxxx 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    do you recommend to practice ollie on grass or sand to keep on more balance?or just go straight on cement.thanks in advance

  • @wakeupwthesun
    @wakeupwthesun 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for making these free videos!!!
    I have a longboard. When riding a longboard I would assume that the foot stances you have been demonstrating do not apply. Where should I place my feet on a Long board? Also, is tick-tacking possible on a longboard?

    • @LearnToSkateboard
      @LearnToSkateboard  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      The stances still apply on a longboard, you just have more options to where you stand. The middle. Up front. Near the back. Whatever you find comfortable. Personally, I tend to stand in the middle and just carve and flow. Yes, it's possible to tick-tack on a longboard, but it's really, really hard.

  • @Red02021
    @Red02021 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The first foot braking is using the tail, but the second one is using the toes...and i think you can easily twist you foot if you use the toes to brake at fast speed

  • @MarshallLarshall
    @MarshallLarshall 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @iamthebest20002me yes you want to put almost all your weight on your front foot. This will stabilize you and make you faster. Do this when you are pushing off too.

    @zylerk29 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    My only option for a skateshop is Zumiez. I broke a couple of Walmart boards and then got a pro model build from Zumiez. Is an 8.25 good for my first real skateboard if I have size 9 feet? I started with a Penny board and can do that pretty well. I'm thinking of going 7.75 when this deck wears out.

  • @LearnToSkateboard
    @LearnToSkateboard  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, it will wear out the tail eventually. I suggest you learn footbraking instead. Tailslides are only useful at slower speeds anyway.
