People when he says beginner/poser, he doesn't mean beginners are posers. Posers are “beginners” that never get better meaning they'll always look like beginners. beginners however will get better and change their style so they'll obviously look and be more advanced
I'm 30 just starting skating again and all the teenagers came up to me and shook my hand and gave me some tips. It brought me back to my days teen years. They didn't call me a poser
I'm 30 also and need to get back out. Only thing that sucks is there were 2 skate parks in my town 15 years ago, now there are none. Only the concrete slab where a lot of memories were made.
I got back on it, I was actually scared of concrete splits and pebbles, it's crazy to think how as a youngin i didn't think twice about them but I felt like a newborn on shaky legs at 30 on a board.
I'm a bigger dude, on my long kick strides while moving my leg forward I can use that momentum to help move me along. You kinda get that little bounce. It does feel kinda nice when you are in that flow... Much Love
It came naturally for me because I would use my board to get everywhere, ecspecially to my friends' house to session cause we built fun boxes, rails, etc... Long pumping strides would waste the least amount of energy for me. But if you want that it's simple. I 1st recommend skating everywhere. If that's not an option or you really want to nail it quickly then go find a large unused clean section of a parking lot, school, the backside of a large store, parking garage or maybe even an unused basketball blacktop or tennis court if you have enough distance. Somewhere no one's likely gonna bother you. Walk it 1st to police any shit that'll catch a wheel. Dedicate yourself to a couple hours. Focus on long pumps, swing that leg & go back & forth till you no longer have to think about. Then stop, work on some rolling flip tricks, manuals or whatever for a little bit. Then back to the 1st part, rinse & repeat till time is up. Boom, done. Next time you skate street or at the park remember long pumps on approach. It'll soon just be happening, you wont even be thinking about it.
Well I do long fast pushes and it is amazing. Skate in the street with traffic going 20-30 and can catch em with stop lights etc. I just love going as fast as I can skating to whatever spot.
From an almost 50 year old skater: the term poser is reserved for those that imitate the fashion of skateboarding while not skateboarding. If you skate, you're not a poser. If you suck or are a beginner, you're just that, no big deal. It's all about the fun. If you see someone judging someone else's abilities, they are insecure, a bully, or both, period.
When I was coming up I remember it being if you could do one trick at all even an ollie. But if they were truly faking it you could definitely tell by how well they could even ride a board. But yeah bullying someone off of skating in general is fucking lame.
Fuckin sick, I love seeing older skaters. There’s this one guy at my older park that’s in his 60’s and totally shreds the absolute shit out of every piece of the park. Dude is better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He’s clearly been skating since it was a thing and never stopped since. Dude it in great shape though too. Crazy to think anyone the same age as my grandma could go out there and fuck the shit outta some concrete.

@@husky3g I think you are kid or something? I don't understand how can you want to see someone falling with the skate like that when you know they are new to it, is like wanting to see a beginer with a car, do a car crash, what is the fun in that? If is a stupid person playing stupid prize is understable.. I did help quite many peoples to skate, and i directly had feelings like i'm their parent , because i know well how horrible you can fall with the board, as i did fall way too many times. When i help i always put my feet under the board and i block the wheels front and back with my feet, so the person can't move back and fort, i ask how they feel like is natural for them to sit on board, i look, then i tell "now how you feel like you would push to take speed?" and they show, and that's how i understand if they goofy or regular, then i show them the right pose for their specific movment, then i hold them close like titanic pose but from side, and take my feet from under board and i push them gently to make them balance them self, and if they do start to fall there is no way they can because i always make them fall on me, so is safer. Is quite hard to explain,but i always get anxiety for their safety. And is not because i'm "old" i always been like that in high school when i was 16, i meet someone on street and did the same thing.Learning skate/bike stuff like that gives me anxiety, so if i'm your teacher i rather hurt my self than you to be hurt and do my best to prevent it.
@@Jordan64852 you have the comprehension of a mule. All posers are beginners because they do nothing to improve. Not the same as saying all beginners are posers.Yall just looking for reasons to get offended
From now on I'll put my feet very close together and always look forward and do big pushes. So when I'm driving into the sunset people will think "this guy has some serious tricks ready" 😅
well, your body starts to naturally drift into that as you get more comfortable with balance, speed, and generally board feel. Being able to do that would mean you have some rather good balance on your board and are able to handle some speed. Of course, it's not perfect. My gf skates pretty fast and has amazing balance on the board, so they use the "advanced" push. However, they know like 2 tricks, and it's pre-ollie too. (I'm a beginner, beginner. I've been on the board like 10 times cuz I've been using my gbf's old spare board (tho, they've given it to me now, so i can practice more.) I apparently ride intermediate tho, so maybe my def of a beginner is warped 😅)
Most things i love to do on board is to press my feets forth and back to do like swims, or to to just crouch on high speed and let the board go without my help as i sit on it and feel the wind cooling my body in heat. Another thing i love often to do is to sit in one leg and the other leg to be near the board not on board not on ground, just floating. Also taking long pushes might make you lose your balance if you swing too much on back lol, i nearly died too many times like that, and i pretty much do skate for almost 15-16 years.
My best advice is to first enjoy yourself riding your new skateboard and calibrating it to how you feel most comfortable. As you spend more time on your board you'll develope the twitch muscles necessary to ascend your skateboarding skills to new heights. Braile(??) on YT has excellent tutorials on skateboarding so I recommend you checking them out!
As a kid I relied on my skateboard as my main source of transportation, so I’ve always had one of those really aggressive, chest high, super speed pushes 😂
Just kinda weird being on a college campus and seeing people just carry their boards around from class to class not use em, or if they did use them, we’re not good enough and when campus is crowded you would always see these people taking huge slams 😅. Idk get to level three before skating in public I guess
@@JustGotSomeIdeas Or do what the hell you want to do wether they suck or not and not let people like you dictate what they should do with their life. Worry about yourself
@@JustGotSomeIdeasor skate wherever you want regardless of your skill level… if you’re worried about what people are gonna think skating isn’t for you lmfao in my 15 years of skating I’ve fallen in front of more people than I can count I really couldn’t give a fuck if a bunch of boners at a college campus clown me for it lmao I’m not gonna cry and shit my pants
I skate a lot in my teens and the community shrink cuz we call poser every kid that was learning the board. Now I'm 41 can't do much tricks anymore cuz got old and stopped skating for over a decade, but im teaching my kids the basics, We should help and encourage the new generations.
I long boarded for a few years, and EVERYWHERE. Until I broke my tailbone. So, same here! I can't ollie in general. But, I CAN PUSH BABY(well, I don't wanna get ahead of myself I "could" push).
@@ItsOnlyGenjutsu i long boarded every day for almost 10 years and it’s amazing how even without knowing any tricks you get an ungodly ability to balance
@johnnyringer you keep trying to defend yourself but what you said implies you're hate keeping. The "poser/begginer" comment is what people are talking about.
Hey bro. Just dropping I. To make sure you know that for this example it’s / to separate as 2 different things. Not 2 different words for the same thing.
Funny how the new generation of skaters care more about brands and being hip than the preps? 💀 I remember when skaters used to clown people who dressed pretentiously. this guy is wearing a stussy shirt with 90s jeans. I miss when everyone had their own style, now they all dress the exact same. Hype beasts have taken over the scene and its a damn shame. Has style always been a huge part of skating? Of course! But these arw the same people who used to clown on kids in middle school for skating and wearing vans and tnow that it's popular they have all jumped on the bandwagon. Skating is in its 90s punk stage where everybody has sold out and it's more about trends and looking cool than anything else.
skating is strictly for well off incels and alcoholics. also have to be a eurocentric supremacist but you dont have to publicly announce that part, just let it speak through your actions.
One thing that I think turns away new skaters is the fear of being called a poser as it’s mostly known as a bad thing but most people in skating use it to refer to a beginner so I hope if anybody reads this and wants to start skating you go do it!!!
Bro skating community is legitimately so friendly even posers don't get hate...only time they did was like the early 2000s but even then dudes that were really deep in didnt give af
Went to the skate park yesterday to practice, i suck completely but a group of around 6 guys were cheering me on and giving me tips. Skaters are pretty chill most of the time
This video reminds me why I stopped going to the local skatepark the moment I met the people there. Your community seems to love gatekeeping more than it loves the hobby itself
@@AbyssWatch3r take a moment to think how contradictory the statements “poser or beginner” and “as long as your skateboarding, it’s all love.” are. And then use that thought process to realize that the / was not an or, it was an and.
I started w longboarding so I’m super comfortable on my board but can’t do any tricks. I just travelled 16km by board to check out a park when I can’t even do a proper Ollie yet but I just wanted to try out the bowl
All my buddys are out skating in bag jean shorts and im just baffled. Like we were just born when that was a big thing. I guess I shouldnt judge the guy outskating me though
@@RickDrift I prefer bigger jeans because of flexibility. Tight/skinny/regular jeans feels too constricted for me when skating. Plus, air flows up in them a lot easier. Great for hot days.
@@domingoishotyba9968 From a dark place called the 90s, Some remeber it with delight, but plenty remember it with sheer dread, specifically skaters who were trying to functionally skate.
and bro probably started skating like a couple years ago, definitely looks like a modern day skater. and he mall grabs so gatekeeping is already out the question for this channel
When you're at that point in skating, you likely already took some tough falls, and would be fine with taking a fall once in a while. Coming from a seasoned longboarder🙏🏻
@@jakemccoy i usually stand on my other foot to keep minimal contact with my board directly in the middle of it because I'm a super-mega-pro-advanced skater
@@johnnyringerman, advanced level is when you’re not pushing from the ground at all, but just zigzagging. I can do it from zero speed and even uphill. When ppl see me doing it on the street they can’t even understand what is going on😊
@@johnnyringerhave you tried to SKOG (skate jog)? It’s when you switch between both feet for pushing casually (yes, sometimes mongo) and also switch between riding goofy and regular constantly. I learned it when riding downhill everyday with the local pros from landyachtz, rayne, and o-tang. Best cruising tips I’ve gotten. Your legs never cramp.
also i saw a qoute online : "to be loved is to be understood "- i think that resonates with me quite a lot bc deep down more than anything i wish someone could understand everything about me . i think in this case uts called "limerence" ? - ive experienced that before with someone and now its a lot better , anyway i hope you heal - sorry about the rant
If you actually noticed the way he held his board in the beginning you might wanna spend some more time skating and less time caring how someone carries a board, i didnt give it a second look til i saw your comment
Almost anyone with a reasonable amount of body control / physical ability can get "better" at skateboarding, but it takes more than just a passing interest in the science of skateboarding... if you truly want to get "better", you need to simply put in the hours. Watch vidoes. Get ampped. Try what you see in the videos. Try meeting regularly with other skaters or frequent the same skateparks as much as possible. Learn flat land tricks. Spend any free time you have rolling around, riding backwards and flipping the board around... try riding switch (even a little)... it's a lifestyle... oh, and DEFINITELY watch Braille skateboarding on TH-cam! Lots of trick tips there !! Happy skating !
@@arcadesunday4592 please don't suggest braille. It's basically a recruitment project for scientology. Notice how many "staff/prisoners" have burnt out from exhaustion because they have to sleep in that warehouse and have to sweep up and clean the whole place before it opens.
I couldn't ever get into skateboarding (or roller skating). Whatever balance or coordination is required, I didn't have it. I did however have fun racing BMX from my teens onto 20s and then drifting in my 30s as time and funds allowed. It's entirely possible you just don't have the aptitude for skating despite having a desire to skate. Unfortunately, practice doesn't work if you're practicing the wrong thing, developing bad habits, getting injured (and griefed by people who care about you or are paying your medical bills) with no improvement to show for it. If there are skaters you are trying to hang out with, go ask them if you can watch them when they skate or ask if any can show you. Realize that most people who are good at a thing aren't good at teaching or coaching it. I've known guys very adept at different sports, from physical to esports to motorsports who could just DO it but couldn't tell someone else HOW to do it. If you can watch, try to imitate someone who can do things successfully. Granted, that's the real life version learning by watching a video and it's much more helpful if they actually can tell you what to do with your body. Again, there are levels of aptitude. But trying to break things down into the simplest possible steps and build up. I saw a video of a guy teaching his cat to get up on the board and push. He lured the cat to the board and gave a click and treat. A click and treat at every individual step in chain of steps getting the cat on the board and pushing it. Do that with yourself to whatever extent the tricks allow. Do the first step until you get it. Add the 2nd step. 3rd, etc until you get the whole thing together. Sure, you might look or feel like an idiot because you're basically purposefully not doing all of the trick, but baby steps until you get there. In my case it was balance on wheels. Skateboard or skates I didn't have it. Bike, I was fine. You may just have such a low aptitude that trying to get better isn't going to be any fun and you'd be better finding something else you have more aptitude for that you can enjoy progressing at. If you still like skating, go to the park or hangout and watch and be magnanimous with compliments when people do cool things instead of feel angry or sad that you can't do them. I remember in my 20s, I'd get beat by some faster kids that hadn't ever really been injured or didn't have other non BMX goals in life yet and didn't have that holding them back any. I'd congratulate them and if they got to taking too much crap and couldn't take a compliment, I'd lay them out in a turn at the next track practice because I was obviously stronger. Usually, they preferred just accepting compliments after that. Obviously, you don't want to pick fights with people you want to learn from, but if you compliment someone and they do talk trash because they're better than you, you might not actually want to hang out with that crowd. On the other hand, you can admit that yeah he's better than you and ask him why he can't accept you complimenting his skill and trick. Maybe he'll realize that he's better and you already know that so he doesn't need to talk trash to make himself feel better. Anyways, some musings from an older guy who's tried various things over the years and had fun with some more than others and met very diverse groups of people.
Mall-grabbing is super comfortable man. I would always do it when I skated. It's like a built in handle and I didn't want my grip to rub on my fingers. Sure they clowned me a bit but I'd always laugh at them when they dropped their boards on accident.
@@littlezfor99-07 but you are still clumping them together and discouraging beginners from getting into it which anyone who actually wants to be helpful wouldnt do
if you really care about what they think, then don’t skate at all, beginners are posers if you make yourself one, if you try and genuinely put time and effort into skating then you aren’t a loser, you’re a beginner, who cares if they call you a poser, prove to other people that you aren’t by actually showing up to the skatepark to skate or put in effort outside the park as well, eventually you’ll have style and confidence and you won’t be a poser anymore, too bad people skate to look cool nowadays
@@wamsly2334 my main comment was just for fake internet points bro. But he still puts beginners and posers in the same group, which kind of implies that they’re comparable which is stupid.
Your feet don’t just keep getting closer and closer, there’s no wrong way to have your feet on the board except for how close he had them on the last one
I'm currently 11 years old, and I have just started skating. For some reason, I'm really confident on it and have even learnt a few tricks! Guess it's true that I'm a fast learner 😅
its like when someone picks up their instrument, you can tell if they're good or not by the way they hold it. doesn't matter if you're new. go ahead and keep at it as long as you don't pick up a scooter :D
same. I skated for years mostly just to get around. Used street decks where I lived because I prefered the feel, mobility, and the double kicktail over a traditional cruiser style. Never got into tricks because I watched a friend brutally injure his nutsack while grinding a rail, and the mental image stayed with me for years.
Yep, I push like a pro but I lost my balls after a bad spill. I can still ollie fine and I'll kickflip about 1 out of 10. Not really a big bag of tricks though.
I learned to push with long comfy strokes in just a month and I can only do an ollie. If you're a bit mindful when skating you can learn it real fast. Also loosen up, don't be tense, relax, it's really easy if you can trick your mind that you're a pro skater who's been doing this for years 😂 then your body just follows
@@johnnyringer but why? everyone that spent some time on their board can already tell the difference, but if ur doing it for fun then i understand i guess but still u could do some trick tips instead of these useless shorts/tiktoks that call beginers posers, i could see myself as some beginer and get demotivated from u calling the first push poser, u know just saying…
Well I'm just a beginner and the few mess up are my entire skate expirience nevertheless your videos really help me so much and I wanted to say thank you Really keep up the good work
I’m a begginer skater and I love your videos and they really inspire me to not give up! But do you think you can do a video on the differences between posers and beginners?
@@nickthecringe7129ye I know. I just thought it would be a good video to let other people know. Because I get called a poser all the time when im actually just trying to learn how to skate. And I never even say I’m good and yet I get called a poser all the time 😂🙄😭
I had to quit skating years ago because of dislocating my knee 3 times in my life. Found out I have a shallow groove that the knee cap sits in. I miss it so much man… wish I could be involved in the skate community still
“As long as you’re skating, its all love” is what every skater needs to think. I really don’t like the skaters that think they’re better than everyone else. Like, it’s sick that you’re out there trying to learn!
You gotta not give a shit what others think yo. Skating is prob not gonna be everyones cuppa tea tho i think anyone can do it if they really want to, how far you want to go just depends on your own tenacity, you dont have to be jumpin stairs and flippin the shit all willy nilly, you can just cruise around and you'll get comfortable with practice. Tho getting into tricks is way easier if you have a cpl homies learning with you at a similar skill level to motivate each other and such.

You can love people who have different levels of skill. What's your problem with what he said?
From now on I'll put my feet very close together and always look forward and do big pushes. So when I'm driving into the sunset people will think "this guy has some serious tricks ready" 😅
well, your body starts to naturally drift into that as you get more comfortable with balance, speed, and generally board feel. Being able to do that would mean you have some rather good balance on your board and are able to handle some speed.
Of course, it's not perfect. My gf skates pretty fast and has amazing balance on the board, so they use the "advanced" push. However, they know like 2 tricks, and it's pre-ollie too.
(I'm a beginner, beginner. I've been on the board like 10 times cuz I've been using my gbf's old spare board (tho, they've given it to me now, so i can practice more.) I apparently ride intermediate tho, so maybe my def of a beginner is warped 😅)
Most things i love to do on board is to press my feets forth and back to do like swims, or to to just crouch on high speed and let the board go without my help as i sit on it and feel the wind cooling my body in heat. Another thing i love often to do is to sit in one leg and the other leg to be near the board not on board not on ground, just floating. Also taking long pushes might make you lose your balance if you swing too much on back lol, i nearly died too many times like that, and i pretty much do skate for almost 15-16 years.
Got a skateboard yesterday. Exited 2 finally b part of this community
We love you G, don’t be afraid to ask for help at the park but most importantly DONT BE AFRAID OF THE PARK!!!
My best advice is to first enjoy yourself riding your new skateboard and calibrating it to how you feel most comfortable. As you spend more time on your board you'll develope the twitch muscles necessary to ascend your skateboarding skills to new heights. Braile(??) on YT has excellent tutorials on skateboarding so I recommend you checking them out!
So what you're saying is that you can tell how good someone is by looking at how good they are?!! GENIUS!
I always called beginner pushing as "waddling" and experienced as "galloping". This video brought me back memories from a decade ago.
hello bladed
Hey
Didn't know you skated, that's pretty neat!
what is bladed doing here lol
Wtf Bladed Angel skates?!?!
Bro’s always on 4 wheels I suppose 😅
As a kid I relied on my skateboard as my main source of transportation, so I’ve always had one of those really aggressive, chest high, super speed pushes 😂
Theres absolutely nothing wrong with being a beginner we all start somewhere!
every expert was once a beginner youd think they remember
Nah you gotta come out the womb with a steezy ass push and kick flip or else you’re a POSER😤
Just kinda weird being on a college campus and seeing people just carry their boards around from class to class not use em, or if they did use them, we’re not good enough and when campus is crowded you would always see these people taking huge slams 😅.

What if I push the last way but can barely Ollie 😂😂😂
Same 😂
I long boarded for a few years, and EVERYWHERE. Until I broke my tailbone. So, same here! I can't ollie in general. But, I CAN PUSH BABY(well, I don't wanna get ahead of myself I "could" push).
Same, skating for 25 years. Can push like a pro and do an Ollie
@@ItsOnlyGenjutsu i long boarded every day for almost 10 years and it’s amazing how even without knowing any tricks you get an ungodly ability to balance

Lmaooo so true. 😂 Gatekeeping is so cringey.
@johnnyringer you keep trying to defend yourself but what you said implies you're hate keeping. The "poser/begginer" comment is what people are talking about.
Hey bro. Just dropping I. To make sure you know that for this example it’s / to separate as 2 different things. Not 2 different words for the same thing.
I do the advanced pushing as described. Thing is, after spraining both ankles while doing a flip, 13 year old me dropped my bag of tricks 😭🙏
For the last 2 plus decades of my skate life, I learned that posers are the ones calling others posers.
fax bro said feet close together😭
Funny how the new generation of skaters care more about brands and being hip than the preps? 💀 I remember when skaters used to clown people who dressed pretentiously. this guy is wearing a stussy shirt with 90s jeans. I miss when everyone had their own style, now they all dress the exact same. Hype beasts have taken over the scene and its a damn shame. Has style always been a huge part of skating? Of course! But these arw the same people who used to clown on kids in middle school for skating and wearing vans and tnow that it's popular they have all jumped on the bandwagon. Skating is in its 90s punk stage where everybody has sold out and it's more about trends and looking cool than anything else.
True
That's always the case.

skating is strictly for well off incels and alcoholics. also have to be a eurocentric supremacist but you dont have to publicly announce that part, just let it speak through your actions.
One thing that I think turns away new skaters is the fear of being called a poser as it’s mostly known as a bad thing but most people in skating use it to refer to a beginner so I hope if anybody reads this and wants to start skating you go do it!!!
Getting jumped by ODB's ghost for stealing his jeans is what would scare me.
if i try to learn to skate n someone in the skate park calls me a poser im giving them a fuckn hiding lol
Bro skating community is legitimately so friendly even posers don't get hate...only time they did was like the early 2000s but even then dudes that were really deep in didnt give af

The last push is how you end up flying when you hit a pebble lol
When you're at that point in skating, you likely already took some tough falls, and would be fine with taking a fall once in a while. Coming from a seasoned longboarder🙏🏻
What is your stance to avoid being sent by a pebble?
@@jakemccoy I usually squad down a bit deeper to allow a bit more room for my board, a bit like the springs under a car
@@ramon_Huft That may work if you see the pebble. If you run up on a rock that is going nowhere, the board is stopping.

Also Video: “This is how posers or newbies push.”
If I can be honest, I have a skateboard but couldn’t ever get very good at it, I wish I had some who could teach exactly what to do 😅
Almost anyone with a reasonable amount of body control / physical ability can get "better" at skateboarding, but it takes more than just a passing interest in the science of skateboarding... if you truly want to get "better", you need to simply put in the hours. Watch vidoes. Get ampped. Try what you see in the videos. Try meeting regularly with other skaters or frequent the same skateparks as much as possible. Learn flat land tricks. Spend any free time you have rolling around, riding backwards and flipping the board around... try riding switch (even a little)... it's a lifestyle... oh, and DEFINITELY watch Braille skateboarding on TH-cam! Lots of trick tips there !! Happy skating !
Practice Practice Practice
@@arcadesunday4592 please don't suggest braille. It's basically a recruitment project for scientology. Notice how many "staff/prisoners" have burnt out from exhaustion because they have to sleep in that warehouse and have to sweep up and clean the whole place before it opens.
I couldn't ever get into skateboarding (or roller skating). Whatever balance or coordination is required, I didn't have it. I did however have fun racing BMX from my teens onto 20s and then drifting in my 30s as time and funds allowed.
It's entirely possible you just don't have the aptitude for skating despite having a desire to skate.
Unfortunately, practice doesn't work if you're practicing the wrong thing, developing bad habits, getting injured (and griefed by people who care about you or are paying your medical bills) with no improvement to show for it.
If there are skaters you are trying to hang out with, go ask them if you can watch them when they skate or ask if any can show you.
Realize that most people who are good at a thing aren't good at teaching or coaching it. I've known guys very adept at different sports, from physical to esports to motorsports who could just DO it but couldn't tell someone else HOW to do it.
If you can watch, try to imitate someone who can do things successfully. Granted, that's the real life version learning by watching a video and it's much more helpful if they actually can tell you what to do with your body.
Again, there are levels of aptitude. But trying to break things down into the simplest possible steps and build up. I saw a video of a guy teaching his cat to get up on the board and push. He lured the cat to the board and gave a click and treat. A click and treat at every individual step in chain of steps getting the cat on the board and pushing it.
Do that with yourself to whatever extent the tricks allow. Do the first step until you get it. Add the 2nd step. 3rd, etc until you get the whole thing together. Sure, you might look or feel like an idiot because you're basically purposefully not doing all of the trick, but baby steps until you get there.
In my case it was balance on wheels. Skateboard or skates I didn't have it. Bike, I was fine.
You may just have such a low aptitude that trying to get better isn't going to be any fun and you'd be better finding something else you have more aptitude for that you can enjoy progressing at. If you still like skating, go to the park or hangout and watch and be magnanimous with compliments when people do cool things instead of feel angry or sad that you can't do them.
I remember in my 20s, I'd get beat by some faster kids that hadn't ever really been injured or didn't have other non BMX goals in life yet and didn't have that holding them back any. I'd congratulate them and if they got to taking too much crap and couldn't take a compliment, I'd lay them out in a turn at the next track practice because I was obviously stronger. Usually, they preferred just accepting compliments after that.
Obviously, you don't want to pick fights with people you want to learn from, but if you compliment someone and they do talk trash because they're better than you, you might not actually want to hang out with that crowd.
On the other hand, you can admit that yeah he's better than you and ask him why he can't accept you complimenting his skill and trick. Maybe he'll realize that he's better and you already know that so he doesn't need to talk trash to make himself feel better.
Anyways, some musings from an older guy who's tried various things over the years and had fun with some more than others and met very diverse groups of people.
I got you dawg
Can we talk about him holding the board by the trucks?
i thought they were axles
Sure lets talk, what about it?
Yea its definitely better that way and should be normalizedm
Its called the "maul grab" because it actually attracts wildlife and you might get mauled. That's why skaters warn others not to do it.
Mall-grabbing is super comfortable man. I would always do it when I skated. It's like a built in handle and I didn't want my grip to rub on my fingers. Sure they clowned me a bit but I'd always laugh at them when they dropped their boards on accident.
I can now excel in life with this knowledge thank you so much 😮

same. I skated for years mostly just to get around. Used street decks where I lived because I prefered the feel, mobility, and the double kicktail over a traditional cruiser style. Never got into tricks because I watched a friend brutally injure his nutsack while grinding a rail, and the mental image stayed with me for years.
Yep, I push like a pro but I lost my balls after a bad spill. I can still ollie fine and I'll kickflip about 1 out of 10. Not really a big bag of tricks though.
I learned to push with long comfy strokes in just a month and I can only do an ollie. If you're a bit mindful when skating you can learn it real fast. Also loosen up, don't be tense, relax, it's really easy if you can trick your mind that you're a pro skater who's been doing this for years 😂 then your body just follows

You gotta not give a shit what others think yo. Skating is prob not gonna be everyones cuppa tea tho i think anyone can do it if they really want to, how far you want to go just depends on your own tenacity, you dont have to be jumpin stairs and flippin the shit all willy nilly, you can just cruise around and you'll get comfortable with practice. Tho getting into tricks is way easier if you have a cpl homies learning with you at a similar skill level to motivate each other and such.
