Believe it or not, keeping a skate tool with you is a good way to make friends. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if I had one. Puts you in the good graces of other skaters.

I love your videos. I'm still a super newb, but always learn something useful. Even if the lesson is way over my current skill level. These beginner tips are sooooooo important!! For us OGs, gotta pad up. We don't bounce like we used to, LOL.
Great vid JB. I’m 67 and determined to skate again, but my balance ain’t what it once was. ( I only have so many falls left in me.) Hopefully a little weight training will help.
I understand and am glad you’re back on the board, my best advice is to set timers in your phone to remind you to stretch throughout the day, to drink more water and cut the sugar out of your diet. 💙🛹💪🏽🛹💙
What has helped me regain the fire and help my balance a lot is a longboard. Get yourself a nice flexy board, and go cruise and carve up the bike path.
the head thing is actually super useful for beginners as they sometimes have difficulty shifting their weight and center of balance moving the head with the body is way easier to grasp

Another fine guide from JB and Team.Every one's we're a beginner and these helpful guides are awesome!!Thank you again JB and Team.Keep on doing what you are doing for the Skateboarding Community and be healthy you and your Team and all people in the world!!! :))
Great video JB, I see that you are in the Facebook group in over 30 year old skateboarders and I really liked that you mentioned some stuff on maintenance, board sizes, and how to get looser trucks. I think a part 2 of this section would be pretty beneficial for beginners as there's so many things that people get intimidated by. I.E. What wheels should I use, do bearings matter?, which truck is better, etc. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Brazil!
@@SkateparkLessons, I appreciate your lessons and what you give to the skate community. I can only imagine how challenging it must be to come out with content on a weekly basis. Until the next vid!
Great Video! (as always). Deck size was one thing I wasn't sure about when I came back to skating (after 20 year break). I started with an 8" which was fine, but based off online advice from I guess younger/better skaters. As I talked to older skaters wider is the way for most of us... Bought a 8.75" deck last week (nearly went to 9), not set it up yet (still recovering from a shoulder injury, the day after I bought new deck.)

I love these lessons! I've recently gotten back into skateboarding after a 30 year hiatus. I really forgot how much fun it is and it amuses me that back then, I NEVER wore protective gear, but now I definitely am because I want to set an example, and I can't afford to hurt myself lol
I love this video! The video is simple and organized for a beginner to learn and it also has very good production quality! And I like your attitude because you sound like an enthusiastic teacher

Hey JB! Thanks for the super informative videos! I just started skating and this is basically where I’m at. Will definitely be trying to apply these next time as well as practicing getting off safety. 😄
@@SkateparkLessons Watched this yesterday evening, tried to apply in today's session, and felt a lot more confident on the board. As an adult returnee to skateboarding (never took it to seriously due to health reasons, unfortunately), I find your beginner tutorials immensly helpful. Thank you once again! 🙌

Hey JB first of all thanks for the really amazing content, I love the energy and the explanation is always super clean and easy to understand and recreate. For my friend and me you really did fill missing spots especially for riding and our first ollies. We are both quite tall with quite big feet (riding 8,25 and 8,5 boards) and wonder where to place our feet in riding position, does the toes have to match the edge of the board? If doing so the foot is not centred on the board. Any extra tips for tall adults, bending your knees more?
You’re very welcome, your toes will hang over the edge of the board in riding position, Just make sure it’s the same amount hanging off as your heels. So everything is equal for both feet. This will help you carve equally, frontside and backside while learning. Eventually you will just feel the edges of your board since they are raised up and you won’t have to look at your feet and can feel proper foot placement. Taller guys can bend their knees a little more, and have their foot placement spread further, just make sure the edge of your front foot doesn’t pass the first front two bolts hardware bolts. 💙🛹💙
Too much info crammed in a single, short video. While it doesn't even reach 30 minutes, it will last me for weeks, probably months. Too much to learn. Thank you for all the effort and care you put into this, this is an extremely usefule and valuable resource for a fossil trying to get into this in his 30's. Thank you much, much respect from mexico's city!
For carving, is the body weight distributed more on the front foot (non kicking) or is it equal for both feet? So when digging into my toes for both feet, do I dig more with my front foot toes? Thanks JB!
I don't agree that taking the bottom washer out of your trucks is a good way to get more turn. Although you can get looser trucks this way, the trucks will turn less; think about the angle the hanger is pivoting around and think about where the wheelbite happens for different angles. With a flat angle the wheelbite happens close to where the wheels naturally are, for a steeper angle the wheelbite will happen a lot further away and therefore give you much more turn. If you have enough kingpin, you can add MORE washers under your bottom bushing (I use M10s) to get more turn. I have tried this many times, you can get much more turn by adding more washers.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, Its not about more turn, it’s about more leverage with less weight. Works best for kids learning to carve. If you want more turn, buy trucks with a more acute angled kingpin. Cheers Tim 🛹🌞🛹
@@SkateparkLessons Hey, thanks for the clarification! Love the video by the way, and all the videos, I always say you're in a different league to anyone else out there!
What is the most important lesson you learned from this video? 💙🛹💙
Keeping head on the lead foot while pushing and pushing by toes

Another fine guide from JB and Team.Every one's we're a beginner and these helpful guides are awesome!!Thank you again JB and Team.Keep on doing what you are doing for the Skateboarding Community and be healthy you and your Team and all people in the world!!! :))
Thanks Olaf! 💙🛹🙌🏽🛹💙
Great video JB, I see that you are in the Facebook group in over 30 year old skateboarders and I really liked that you mentioned some stuff on maintenance, board sizes, and how to get looser trucks. I think a part 2 of this section would be pretty beneficial for beginners as there's so many things that people get intimidated by. I.E. What wheels should I use, do bearings matter?, which truck is better, etc. Keep up the great work!
Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks Ramon, more videos coming soon. I appreciate your kindness, support, and advice. 💙🛹💙
@@SkateparkLessons, I appreciate your lessons and what you give to the skate community. I can only imagine how challenging it must be to come out with content on a weekly basis. Until the next vid!
Keep it up! Love these videos!

Great Video! (as always). Deck size was one thing I wasn't sure about when I came back to skating (after 20 year break). I started with an 8" which was fine, but based off online advice from I guess younger/better skaters. As I talked to older skaters wider is the way for most of us... Bought a 8.75" deck last week (nearly went to 9), not set it up yet (still recovering from a shoulder injury, the day after I bought new deck.)

This isn't really related to the new video, but I just wanted to say thanks once again for your channel - I feel like even the tricks I've learned that you didn't do videos on yet were easier to learn because of all the tips I've picked up along the way here.

I love these lessons! I've recently gotten back into skateboarding after a 30 year hiatus. I really forgot how much fun it is and it amuses me that back then, I NEVER wore protective gear, but now I definitely am because I want to set an example, and I can't afford to hurt myself lol
This is an amazing first time video to watch if it's your first time skateboarding! I love this 😁
Wow, I really appreciate your tips. ❤.
That’s awesome to hear, thank you. Please use my channel to learn more and get inspired 🛹🙌🏽🛹

JB!!! Thx, Man, really love and appreciate the video(and a couple of others I've seen). I just turned 62yr, and am gonna start skateboarding. My wife's Not happy about it, and the 70's was a long time ago....LOL. Weirdly, I can tic tac alright, and do kick turns, but pushing still feels a little wonky. I'll be watching this video a couple more times.... Thx, Again!!!
Thank You so much!

Have to see 10000 videos of random searches to find this Gem. Sadly got injured badly so now i have to wait to heal to start from 0 lol ....
Hey JB! Thanks for the super informative videos! I just started skating and this is basically where I’m at. Will definitely be trying to apply these next time as well as practicing getting off safety. 😄
Amazing video thank you for the good work

@@SkateparkLessons Watched this yesterday evening, tried to apply in today's session, and felt a lot more confident on the board.
As an adult returnee to skateboarding (never took it to seriously due to health reasons, unfortunately), I find your beginner tutorials immensly helpful. Thank you once again! 🙌

loved everything abt this video and channel
Thank you so much! You’re welcome to share it with your friends so we can help more people together 💙🛹💙
Hey JB first of all thanks for the really amazing content, I love the energy and the explanation is always super clean and easy to understand and recreate. For my friend and me you really did fill missing spots especially for riding and our first ollies.
We are both quite tall with quite big feet (riding 8,25 and 8,5 boards) and wonder where to place our feet in riding position, does the toes have to match the edge of the board? If doing so the foot is not centred on the board. Any extra tips for tall adults, bending your knees more?
You’re very welcome, your toes will hang over the edge of the board in riding position, Just make sure it’s the same amount hanging off as your heels. So everything is equal for both feet. This will help you carve equally, frontside and backside while learning.
Eventually you will just feel the edges of your board since they are raised up and you won’t have to look at your feet and can feel proper foot placement.
Taller guys can bend their knees a little more, and have their foot placement spread further, just make sure the edge of your front foot doesn’t pass the first front two bolts hardware bolts.
💙🛹💙
Too much info crammed in a single, short video. While it doesn't even reach 30 minutes, it will last me for weeks, probably months. Too much to learn. Thank you for all the effort and care you put into this, this is an extremely usefule and valuable resource for a fossil trying to get into this in his 30's. Thank you much, much respect from mexico's city!

Great video JB! Smash the like and subscribe buttons yall
Thanks Tony 💙🤙🏽💙
For carving, is the body weight distributed more on the front foot (non kicking) or is it equal for both feet? So when digging into my toes for both feet, do I dig more with my front foot toes? Thanks JB!
Please watch my Carving video for more helpful details. 💙🛹💙
@@SkateparkLessons Sure I will. Just for my understanding, do I put more pressure on my front foot when turning (carving). Thanks and stay safe 👍🏼
What kind of board do you recommend for a 44 year old guy, 5’7, 11.5 shoe, 200lbs who also practice crossfit?
8.5in wide deck 💙🛹💙
Aye I skate af1 they good?
I have not tried them yet but I want to. If they send me some I’ll skate them. 💙🛹💙
WHAT CAN I DO..IM IN ARMS IM LEFT HANDED,BUT IN LEGS IM RIGHT LEG..HOW THEN?
Don’t trip, just try with your right leg in the front which is goofy, then try left in front, see what feels best. No rules dude, just have fun. 💙🛹💙

I don't agree that taking the bottom washer out of your trucks is a good way to get more turn. Although you can get looser trucks this way, the trucks will turn less; think about the angle the hanger is pivoting around and think about where the wheelbite happens for different angles. With a flat angle the wheelbite happens close to where the wheels naturally are, for a steeper angle the wheelbite will happen a lot further away and therefore give you much more turn. If you have enough kingpin, you can add MORE washers under your bottom bushing (I use M10s) to get more turn. I have tried this many times, you can get much more turn by adding more washers.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, Its not about more turn, it’s about more leverage with less weight. Works best for kids learning to carve. If you want more turn, buy trucks with a more acute angled kingpin. Cheers Tim 🛹🌞🛹
@@SkateparkLessons Hey, thanks for the clarification! Love the video by the way, and all the videos, I always say you're in a different league to anyone else out there!
Although the advice is good and helpful, its almost like watching a shopping channel😂
Hopefully you’ll help me sell some of my quality free advice to others who could benefit! 💙🛹💙
Getting back into skating at 40 with my kids, the advice is sound 👍
Thanks!
