Same here - I go to the park when there is no one and get literally a helping hand for new things, otherwise 0 progress for me. Or I hire a pro, they also tend to give a hand.
As a guy getting back into skating 12 years out of it, I highly recommend tictacs and flat kickturns first. They helped me a lot when doing kickturns on the ramps. I'd start backside 180 flat, then frontside 180 flat, and then move onto a ramp backside and then frontside

My dad told me one time "we used to jump over brooms like 4 feet in the air" I assumed he was some kind of Ollie God... Turns out he meant hippy jumps 😅
7:40 I've watched like a dozen skate intro guides and youre the first person to inform me to turn my shoulders first. Thats absolutely the problem I was having. Gonna try kickturns at my next session, thanks.
Watching this after taking a really hard fall and busting my arm while trying to learn some really basic stuff. I can be impatient and uncoordinated sometimes, especially as someone who has known how to ride a board for a decade but is ~still~ coming around to skatepark fundamentals like these. All this to say this is a super helpful and encouraging (and in my case needfully humbling) video, thank you for making it! To anyone feeling discouraged, take it from a long-time newbie - it’s okay to learn at your own pace! Just have fun and keep trying, and reward yourself along the way :)

This video is soooo helpful! I especially like the idea of the fakie shuvit and the 180 boneless. No other channels recommend that but i think it wiill really help
There are a couple variations of the board flip that are super fun for progression too. One of my favorites is starting with the wheels on the ground, and doing a toe flip and 180 to fully flip the board around and land back on it facing the other way.

56 year old on a kidney transplant list. Just waiting on a donor I am getting back into skating after about 30 years. I cant wait to attempt these tricks that was muscle memory many years ago.
hell yeah dude fuck. i wish you all the luck and health in this world. i have multiple sclerosis, and i thought the same some months ago for years. ,,i will never be able to skate again" this and that. now i am skatin for 3+ months again. after like 2 weeks of skating again, i bought a brand new board. and this board feels incredible amazing. from there i couldn't stop. sidenote: i am 29 y/o now and didn't skated for over 10 years. edit: for me it was skatenomad, who brang me back to skateboarding. the last video i watched, before i took my board outside was "This Skater is from Bangkok Toughest Hood" :D
@@jodi183 The Kingdom of God is at Hand John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
i would learn fakie revert before the ramp kickturn, you only need the absolute tiniest bit of speed going backwards to get it, and then when you do it on a ramp its the same motion. tictacs deserve a mention towards the start because its a great build up to either of those tricks and it gives you great control over your board

I am 37 years old and started skating in April this year, together with my 7 years old son. Unfortunately i can only skate on sundays, because of Work and all this adult stuff. But i already learned, that i love and hate skateparks at the same time. Great for learning, but while learning i stand in everybodies way. All people want to do nice Tricks and skate all over the Park, while i am just looking for nice comfort spots to practice certsin techniques. After every like three tries, somebody asks, if i could just get out of the way for a moment. I feel like jumping from left to right like all the time....
Absolutely! I just can't get over that Spot and cruise around, for i am still learning the basics. That's why i make use of my holidays right now and go skating in the morning. So i have at least 2 hours in which i can be hogging the whole skatepark and train basics like kickturns on a quarterpipe. U fortunately our skatepark is very small. There can only skate like 2 to 3 people at the same time.
@@FloschiB Oh I feel you. Same boat. Skating again after a decade or more of not skating. 6am to 10am or people showing up is my skate time. I'm not willing to NOT hog the park yet, so I make sure I have it alone 😈 Park closest to me is super tiny too. 2-3 and it's already crowded unless someone's strictly skating the bowl. I gotta drive 30 miles to a better one. You getting some stuff down? 2 week battle and think I broke my right cheek today but I landed a rock to fakie. Those are so scary
Def going to have to try some, if not all, of these. I think some “easier” tricks can boost your confidence if you only have a few tricks down And they mostly seem pretty low impact for those of us older skaters, haha
really helped build my confidence on the board to do tricks. ive been cruising around for months hoping that the magic of flips would just osmosis into me through riding. but nah i gotta learn baby tricks just so im confident enough to even start learning an ollie lol. thanks!
Cave man day one?!? I still don't cave man... it's a terrifying trick to me. Maybe this order is for super heroes or otherwise daring and gifted folks ;) here was my beginner-beginner progression: pushing correctly, revert, 90 degree kick turn on bank, small drop in, 180 degree kick turn on bank, front side revert and kick turn, carving a pool, higher drop in, ollie (using all the help one can get by human hands, holding bars, skate trainer, grass, carpet etc). Progression was painful and got better using a really small or free style deck for a while.
Nice! Thanks! I'm like 3 years new in skating , and I skipped through a lot of the basics, I realized I suck at almost every trick lol these vids are exactly what I was looking for
I've heard "don't push mongo" so many times, and finally I realize why caveman has been so hard for me to time correctly; you step up on the board like you skate mongo!
Tbh I used to feel the same way, but try flipping your board upside down, with your feet under it. Then, jump and flip the board. Then land. It helps a lot!
You will slip off your board. That's how you progress in skating. If you're scared you should wear pads: wrist guards shin guards and hip pads are great for building confidence. Learn to bail! It's an essential skill that you will use every step of the way in your journey with skateboarding. No one lands every trick every time. Everyone bails. Don't give up! If you get too scared take a break and ride around for a bit. Cruising around is great for board control. You don't need to be learning tricks all the time. Overcoming your fear is a big part of skating. Take sane risks and have fun out there 🤘
sadly the skatepark near me is constatly filled with scootering 10yos not a single skateboard. im planning on learning to ollie and then when its like 12am ill go to the skatepark so i can skate without riding into elementary schoolers
I skateboarded for the first time today. I had fun but I almost sprained my wrist when I thought I heard a car behind me and I turned around and the board slid right from under my feet. I also live in the Midwest so the roads are shitty
Bought an alien warehouse board the other day from my local skate shop realising I love downhill longboarding so instead im currently giving it away to any skateboarder I see its been 3 days 😂
Just get some soft wheels, I got a set of cruising wheels to get around town and a set of harder wheels for the park. I’d recommend some 53mm ricta clouds
My first time at a park after getting comfortable on the carpet i broke my toe not jumping far enough onto the board doing the board flip. Im about 2 months after that and i still cant push regular yet
fell badly a week ago while trying an ollie, arm still hurting when i put pressure on it, kind of scared to do anything other then just riding right now :/
i’ve been wanting to take my skating to the next level for around a year or so but i need a skatepark for that and the nearest one is around 15 km away so im stuck on a flatground
you could always start out on some grass cos you won't be moving and if you fall then at least the landing area is more forgiving, I have a fairly old skated board so I'm not too worried about stuffing up the wheels & stuff [:
@djomni115 13 days ago As a guy getting back into skating 12 years out of it, I highly recommend tictacs and flat kickturns first. They helped me a lot when doing kickturns on the ramps. I'd start backside 180 flat, then frontside 180 flat, and then move onto a ramp backside and then frontside
Hello from Malaysia! I’m a goofy. But when I’m trying to do a trick, I’m more comfortable switch to regular. And this makes me more struggle to learn to be better. Please do advice me on how can I counter this🙏🏻
im so scared of the shuvit. maybe i should try it fakie. motion is down, but committing to land on the board after it shot out of my feet last time is horror to me lol.
I was able to do the board flip no problem, until I landed primo and messed my wrist. Now I'm unable to do it without holding onto something, any tips to overcome fear again?
I dont skate every day, been skating about a year, got a broken collarbone, and all i can do is the kick turn and fakie revert. How do i get over the fear to do things like the board flip, or really anything where you land on the board like that, like a caveman as well, or even running and dropping the board and jumping on. And don't even get me started on tricks while moving 😳
@@sethamphetaminessgoing down hill for me is waaay scarier than the tiny board flip (technically half flip) or caveman. You can start with that first flip while holding on to a handrail or a fence. Also, amphetamines wash calcium out of your bones, ya know (I have fractured my radius bone, got back on board a week later, cruising slowly with the cast on, and the tiniest stupid pebble sent me into the smallest slowest, most no big deal fall, and I still fractured a finger bone🤣)
@snowhusk lol idk what it is, I guess because I felt so confident riding that it felt achievable, and also fun because it is scary. And I'm not really on amphetamines it's just a pun. I did some Adderall in high school but that's about it. Maybe it weakened my bones Oh, and my first collarbone break was that kind of fall. Going so slow, just cruising, and just landed a weird way on my arm I can do a shuvit sometimes and the landing is always so scary
@@sethamphetaminess oh, that's good then. I just know my overconfidence on that hill where I broke my arm came exactly from them, so I wanted to share the observation of that correlation 😉 Go for pivots (what is called "revert" in this video), and try some little freestyle bits like endovers, turn-ins, walk the dog and "tailstop - heelside rail - flop down" kinda things. You know, where you move your board without losing contact with it, those should help build up your confidence. After those you'd knock out that board flip (aka Baby Leaf, as someone in the comments here said) in like a minute😉
There’s no age limit on skating, I’m sure you’ll do great ! The size of board depends on what shoe size you wear, most common size is an 8” or 8.25” board
dude can i start skating as a 20 yo? i almost feel like a clown when i show up with my new untouched board and cant even do a ollie on a flat surface standing lmao...my only experience ive got befor is a bit longboard here and there so i can atr least stand on the board 😅😂
Go for it... If you feel uncomfortable, try skating in front of your house/flat or if you have a big garage try there. Once you get comfortable on the skateboard, go to the skate park. Usually people at the park are nice tho and dont worry abt age some people start at 30 or even 50yo!
I've been stuck in beginner skate hell for nearly 2 years.
Fear is the biggest nerf in skating lmao

I can do all of these except the boneless. Good video.
My problem is I feel like if I land I’m gonna slip off my board
Same
Tbh I used to feel the same way, but try flipping your board upside down, with your feet under it. Then, jump and flip the board. Then land. It helps a lot!
If you put a little motion in to one direction you kind of go in that particular direction, and if you fall you already know what direction to into
Try landing it on grass first so it can’t slip, once you get comfortable try it on concrete
You will slip off your board. That's how you progress in skating.
If you're scared you should wear pads: wrist guards shin guards and hip pads are great for building confidence.
Learn to bail! It's an essential skill that you will use every step of the way in your journey with skateboarding. No one lands every trick every time. Everyone bails.
Don't give up! If you get too scared take a break and ride around for a bit. Cruising around is great for board control. You don't need to be learning tricks all the time.

I can do a shuvit sometimes and the landing is always so scary
@@sethamphetaminess oh, that's good then. I just know my overconfidence on that hill where I broke my arm came exactly from them, so I wanted to share the observation of that correlation 😉
Go for pivots (what is called "revert" in this video), and try some little freestyle bits like endovers, turn-ins, walk the dog and "tailstop - heelside rail - flop down" kinda things. You know, where you move your board without losing contact with it, those should help build up your confidence. After those you'd knock out that board flip (aka Baby Leaf, as someone in the comments here said) in like a minute😉
clicked on this video and realised im not even in beginner hell XD
I thought skating with you right foot forward was regular.. I guess we learn something new everyday 🤷
Those pants are kind of sick. Anyone know the brand
im 50 and havent seen a skate board in 40 years
will it still be easy to learn
and what size board should I start on
There’s no age limit on skating, I’m sure you’ll do great ! The size of board depends on what shoe size you wear, most common size is an 8” or 8.25” board
Dude what size is that board its massive
dude can i start skating as a 20 yo? i almost feel like a clown when i show up with my new untouched board and cant even do a ollie on a flat surface standing lmao...my only experience ive got befor is a bit longboard here and there so i can atr least stand on the board 😅😂
Go for it... If you feel uncomfortable, try skating in front of your house/flat or if you have a big garage try there. Once you get comfortable on the skateboard, go to the skate park. Usually people at the park are nice tho and dont worry abt age some people start at 30 or even 50yo!
Yo 20 is a great age to start skating. No matter how old you are, you probably feel weird with a fresh deck and no tricks. Just skate dude
@@niki7780 aight man, Imma keep that in mind, skaters are a pretty chill community to be in tbh 🔥
