my goal is tbh learn both street skateboarding and freestyle skateboarding... i have started my journy with street skateboarding and i am still a beginner so i will learn from each one of these like 50 tricks from street sb and 50 tricks from freestyle cuz they look both sick especially when combining both of them :)
Mike, I learned my first skateboard trick thanks to you! I've been skating for two months, just bombing hills (I've been BMXing for over 30 years) figured things would just develop naturally out of going as fast as I can; it's my bike philosophy. Anyway, I was waiting for some pedestrians to move and your video was what I watched before I went out so I tried some stuff and landed a finger flip after ten or so goes! I can't even ollie yet dude! I'm so stoked it's hilarious; even more stoked than when I do a huge bike gap at 25mph; it's the achievement of what feels near impossible that matters to me, not how big it looks to others. I took skating up to inspire my daughter cos my BMXing scares her and it's totally worked; she loves to scoot now, loves watching your videos. So yeah, I'm so stoked can you tell?! Love your vibes, found you thru Braille. Dope that you sponsor Yuta too, that dude is so sick; he represents the best attitudes and you support that, so dope. Much love from Killingworth UK.
I'm 37, going to give skateboarding another go. I used to skate when I was a kid, never been very good at all but... never totally lost interest and always enjoyed watching skate videos. Probably going for freestyle as I'm a coward and don't want to break a leg LOL. Anyway, thanks for your video, as soon as my new "old beginner" skate is here, I'll start practicing. Yeah, I'm probably gonna die LOL. Thanks for your video, very informative and helpful!
Story of my life dude! I am 37 aswell, used to inline skate when i was kid and then i switched to skate for only a couple of months tho. Only Thing i learned was stationary ollie and i just bought a zero skateboard to give it a go again too! Only downside is I am embarassed to skate in public cause i suck but yea haha good luck on your journey mate!
Right now my mom doesn't understand the three main types of skating so when I told her I wanted your pro model she went and bought a double kick at our local shop. I'm not mad I'm thankful but like you said it is WAY harder to do pogos and other truckstand variations
+Rick Spengler those sorts of boards have SO many benefits though! You'll have a much easier time learning rolling tricks, most footwork, and every Ollie-based trick on that deck
just started skateboarding at 31. did my first push sessions and learned to roll. when im too exhausted i start to try what flashes me, the flatground freestyle tricks. yesterday i stood my first railstand to casper and into riding stance, i nearly began to cry.
I've been trying to learn street skating for ages and felt like I was making very little progress (I still struggle with moving ollies). Exploring the world of freestyle has opened up so many things i can do to get that sense of achievement and have fun skating, rather than the constant feeling of failure, I'm really enjoying finding my style I landed my first (non sketchy looking) boneless today and it felt awesome!
today i landed the first trick on the list, i have been skating for a month and i am really happy! i am 40 and just starting on skateboard , really cool activity to do on quarantine, you can go to any empty street and practice, my goal now is to clear this list of tricks and move on to more stuff, thanks for the vid!!
I think i will never understand how to do a walk the dog. i would really love learning it tho but hey! I just subbed by the way, I first discovered you with Braille. Keep making more videos freestyle is absolutely sick :)
I can't wait to try this once the snow melts. I'm 24 and I'm just getting back into skating, and since I can't go down things anymore, this is perfect for me. Hopefully I can film it and see if I can move all 6ft. 250lbs of me.
I know this video is ancient by internet standards, tho still as excellent as if it were made yesterday (!) I feel spoiled coming from the days when you were lucky if you knew somebody who could teach you, or had a VHS tape. Our skating involved a lot of (more often than not unsuccessful) guess work, lol. But, question... were those actual bottle caps being used as washers for the bushings?
Haha I thought you seemed familiar. Then I just realized I skated with you once on some tennis courts near Heartland in Normal. This is awesome that you're on TH-cam!
Haha, I've been trying freestyle skateboarding. Its hard for me because I have a normal board. like I do normal tricks like kick flips and heel flips. well I've been trying to get better at freestyle because its awesome and unique.
I'm sure you've mastered it by now BUT dont move your arm at all, focus on the movement of your thumb, four fingers, and wrist. No arm. Hope this helps!
I've been trying most of these excluding pogo.i honestly think switch blades are easier than some of these. also manuals. I can't manual almost at all but I think it's more fundamental to all skate types than people really say. spacewalks and all types of tricks require good manual control. I think it's something that should be included in a first list. cool video though.
I just hopped over here from John Hill's vid with you and I think I might want to get myself a board. I used to longboard before I started having back problems, but those aren't going away, so I don't see why I shouldn't just try. I'll try to get one with those plastic things on the nose and or tail just for longevity
+NoyzBot rad! Yeh, me and a lot of my friends deal with back problems from skating. Freestyle is def still doable with those sorts of issues. If you need help picking a setup, feel free to ask
Hi Mike. I didn't realise how many tats you have! Sick man, you got me into freestyle. As well as Andy. You should finish your knee piece. Needs some colour.
Thanks man! Stoked to have you riding with us. Unfortunately, the gentleman who did my knee has since quit tattooing. That has been a major speed bump in my finishing the knee 😬
@@mike_osterman1 Holy Moly. I didn't expect a reply so quick. Thanks man. True. I'm in a similar situation. My tattooist had to move because of bikie laws in Australia. Had to find a new guy to finish my work. I'm saving up for a Waltz board from the shredquarters. Shipping Costs heaps. Keep posting man.
I could be wrong, so I apologize if I cause any confusion, but I'm pretty sure that's not a pogo. I think that's a 50-50. I think pogos are hands free, with the board held between the legs. I am not an experienced skater for the record. I'm just learning, but I have been doing a lot of research in classic freestyle. And I'm pretty sure that's a 50-50 (not as in the grind of course). Great job with the video though. I feel like this is the perfect list of fun and classic freestlye moves, that are actually realistic for a beginner to learn.
Thanks a lot Mike for your uploads! Thinking about getting myself your Mode model for my first actual freestyle skateboard, because I'm looking to convert (riding a normal 8.0 currently).
finally someone I can relate to my legs and chest are covered in tattoos and have none on my arms. your knee cap looks bad ass cant wait to get my other one over with.
Tried to do pogos on a borrowed board and it was so badly razor tailed that it's stuck into my floor boards on my porch.... I need to get my own board and start playing around before I'm too old, I'm already almost at the top of the hill so hopefully I can do it soon. LoL
Pogo was a lot easier on the nose of my old 90s Santa Cruz than it is on my new 8.5 zero deck and the old one was even heavier with the huge wheels and standard Indys (current Indys not as wide)
I was doing alot of these back in high school 15+ years ago cause rodney and daewon were my favorite . Truck stands were one of my faves to do specially without hands. Might need to pull my deck out clean and re lube my old bones swiss bearings
I've been learning on the whale tail. Is it normal to do walk the dogs on a single kick board like the WT? Thanks for your videos. So helpful and awesome!
Hey, that’s awesome! Yep, I do walk the dogs on all freestyle boards. They might be a tiny bit tougher because the nose and tail aren’t identical, but you’ll get used to it
So question I skate street and freestyle and I ride a street board with loose trucks so going to primo/rail feels weird because of all the give in the trucks so should I tighten then or no
Hey Mike, what's up? Any chance you might do a trick tip on truckstands? And by the way, I would apreciate a lot if you could name the song in this video. I love your content, you're one of my biggest inspirations to skate freestyle!
one time trying to learn Pogo I had my foot on the trucks an the bolts nut striped out an fell off my foot just like kicked it off the board an I feel an hit my nuts before learning pogo make sure u trust those bolts
Hey Mike how come you do the old school kickflip into switch stance do i have too do it like that or can I use my other foot and land normal ? i'm goofy
You can totally do it that way. I learned to flip with my back foot and land Fakie/switch. Friends of mine like to flip the other way. You can also flip with the back foot and turn 90* in the opposite direction to land in regular stance

Yeah combining both is where the magic happens.
Yeah same get the best of both worlds just like Rodney Mullen
@@mannequinwithadinosaurhead Updates on your progress?
Kilian Martin is one of those who do and is a great inspiration to me :)
This is the equivalent of flourishing a deck of cards, beautiful when done right, ugly when done wrong

dude I love your vids the cinematography was just beautiful. John Hill sent me.
Have done any of them and your progress?
I love how you share with us your fail moments. This is what real skateboarding is.
Damn, landing a trick smoothly is so gratifying. And you know it's smooth coz you barely even feel it.
Right now my mom doesn't understand the three main types of skating so when I told her I wanted your pro model she went and bought a double kick at our local shop. I'm not mad I'm thankful but like you said it is WAY harder to do pogos and other truckstand variations

There are like 7 main types of skating if you count things like cruising, longboarding etc.
@@IAmTheBestMang yeah but those don't count
essential video right here! very nicely crafted.
+cannacannoli thank you! Hope it helps if you're looking to dabble wit da freestyle stuff
yes
This is one of the best skateboard tutorial videos I've ever watched.
+LT AV 😁 ahhh thank you!
Great video, I'll definitely re-watch this when there won't be any snow left in the streets!
+Master of the universe damn snow! I thought we were past all that
There's 4 feet of snow that have yet to melt where I'm at
those poor people left in IL
Yall niggaz need to snowboard🏂
Rail stand, tail stop finger flip, old skool kick flip, walk the dogg, pogo. Go learn em !!! U got this!!!
00:48 Rail Stand
02:06 Tailstop Stationary Finger Flip
03:11 Oldschool Kickflip
04:11 Walk the Dog
05:25 Pogo
underrated comment tho
This w s a really great edit. Doing it on a popsicle deck was a great idea.
+The Smelly Cat's Jazz thanks dude! Put a bit more work into this'n
Thank you for this tutorial! 👍🙏👌I'm thinking about getting into freestyle skateboarding and for sure I will try these tricks out!
Very nice vid! Love the vibe ❤
I absolutely love your style of video! Great content! I'm 29 and just tatting to skate! These vids are super motivating! Thank youuuuuu!
Thanks~ Bro! I’m 37 years old, Korean. Just starting freestyle...
Never to old to skate
Dude!! I thought I was the only other person who liked Loving! Thats awesome.
just started skateboarding at 31.
did my first push sessions and learned to roll.
when im too exhausted i start to try what flashes me, the flatground freestyle tricks.
yesterday i stood my first railstand to casper and into riding stance, i nearly began to cry.
I'm stealing the bottle caps for bushing cups idea. That freakin gnarly!
I've been trying to learn street skating for ages and felt like I was making very little progress (I still struggle with moving ollies). Exploring the world of freestyle has opened up so many things i can do to get that sense of achievement and have fun skating, rather than the constant feeling of failure, I'm really enjoying finding my style I landed my first (non sketchy looking) boneless today and it felt awesome!
A good truck you can try is a 180 boneless on flat ground then move it to a ramp
I’m in quarantine rn and this was the best video to help me stay busy thank you very much mike
Logan, that’s the nicest thing I’ve heard this week. Thank you. Hope you’re doing alright
Mike Osterman thank you, you too
Very informative tip's man, I'll be making the transition from street to freestyle..I dig the style keep up the good vids.
today i landed the first trick on the list, i have been skating for a month and i am really happy! i am 40 and just starting on skateboard , really cool activity to do on quarantine, you can go to any empty street and practice, my goal now is to clear this list of tricks and move on to more stuff, thanks for the vid!!
Great video also thanks for putting the music credits in there. The song(s) got stuck in my head watching and rewatching
Just getting back into skating and always loved freestyle. Thanks so much for all the tips!
Great video -thanks for using a double-kick too!
I think i will never understand how to do a walk the dog. i would really love learning it tho but hey!
I just subbed by the way, I first discovered you with Braille. Keep making more videos freestyle is absolutely sick :)
Dude, do you realise how beautiful your eyelashes are?

He cleaned my screen with that shuv it, it was so clean
You make me believe that I can really do this.
I'm gonna combine freestyle skating, longboard dance, and street/flat skate into my ride style 👉🏾👈🏾
This guys tutorials are good, and I'm in class watching this video 😂 😂, I got to go my teacher is coming toward me 😨😨
Haha I thought you seemed familiar. Then I just realized I skated with you once on some tennis courts near Heartland in Normal. This is awesome that you're on TH-cam!

+Omar.p.t that's rad! It's all definitely doable on street boards. Some of my favorite freestylers only skate big boards
Love the video I've been practicing fingerflips. Any tips for keeping the board straight? When ever I flip it the board turns almost 90 degrees
I'm sure you've mastered it by now BUT dont move your arm at all, focus on the movement of your thumb, four fingers, and wrist. No arm. Hope this helps!
@@reo_mango wow thanks for this tip
Nice 😃 I need to learn to do that
+Fo Sho do it!
1st one you can move the board to the right if you are regular foot.
great !!
2019 still a nice video
thanks, and great music!
youre shooting style is similar with Brett Novak :) nice tutorial bro, God bless!

+Premanturan yeee welcome aboard dude!
Tried to do pogos on a borrowed board and it was so badly razor tailed that it's stuck into my floor boards on my porch.... I need to get my own board and start playing around before I'm too old, I'm already almost at the top of the hill so hopefully I can do it soon. LoL
That shinner looks painful :(
@ 5:54 is that a beer glass cap on your bushings?
He has the most beautiful eyelashes 😍
What do we do if our boards are new , the tail is curved, and we can't afford those things you put on the nose/tail?
Pogo was a lot easier on the nose of my old 90s Santa Cruz than it is on my new 8.5 zero deck and the old one was even heavier with the huge wheels and standard Indys (current Indys not as wide)
That’s probably because that nose was mellower. Could have been shorter too. In general, mellow, shorter noses make for better pogo platforms
I was doing alot of these back in high school 15+ years ago cause rodney and daewon were my favorite . Truck stands were one of my faves to do specially without hands. Might need to pull my deck out clean and re lube my old bones swiss bearings
I've been learning on the whale tail. Is it normal to do walk the dogs on a single kick board like the WT? Thanks for your videos. So helpful and awesome!
Hey, that’s awesome! Yep, I do walk the dogs on all freestyle boards. They might be a tiny bit tougher because the nose and tail aren’t identical, but you’ll get used to it
@@mike_osterman1 thanks!
These were awesome!
Could you maybe demonstrate a few intermediate and advanced freestyle tricks, in the future?
+Andrew Kellar yes! The plan is to make one every week with varying difficulty levels
