Thank you, I find your videos really helpful.. I'm a beginner and am just skating everywhere to get comfortable on my board.. I always wear protective pads and a helmet whenever I go skating, I just look at it like sparring in Taekwondo we always pad up before fighting, and I believe I have already saved myself from injuries.. so my advice to other fellow beginners out there.. wear pads and a helmet.. it might feel a bit weird if you're not used to wearing gear.. But I would rather persevere with that feeling than being out for 6 weeks due to some injury and not even being able to skate..

Last night I was at the skatepark doing kickturns back and forth on a ramp and a box, trying so hard to get all the way up the box. I didn’t have any water and was starting to feel sick (like that awful cold feeling like frost is in your lungs) so I decided to quit for the night. And tonight, I was sure to bring three bottles of water. I managed to get up and back down the box in about half an hour.

Don’t be afraid to go to your local park and ask for help. Skaters are some of the nicest people and will help you learn how to do things you never even knew were possible. I didn’t even know what pumping was or how to drop in until I went to the park and asked for help from people I saw doing really well. Now I pump more than I actually kick and my confidence on literally any board has skyrocketed. And #1 pro tip, be kind.

Something I just recently realized: you need to be able to judge how hard you need to be trying. It’s not always about maximum effort. Things will go way better if you just loosen up and take it easy.

After 9 months of skateboarding, Ive finally done my very first proper ollie while riding. I was able to jump over a small wooden stick. Yeah, so much for 9 months but that was one of the BEST moments of my life! Looking back, I couldnt even ollie a single inch of the ground even while holding on a hand rail.

Sometimes I see people learn a trick and immediately go on to the next trick. You want to get really comfortable with a new trick. Don't put too much effort into the next one with out being able to land a newer one every time while moving. Also a good way to know what you might be doing wrong if you can't land a trick is to film it and watch it in slow motion

My little bit of advice... Be aware of how long an injury will put you out of skating and how that will affect your progression. No point pushing yourself too hard and hoping for a bit of luck when trying to land a new trick, if you roll your ankle you may not skate at all for 2-3 weeks. That’s gonna slow your progression way more than if you just stop skating for the day and come back tomorrow. Or practicing the trick on the flat for a another couple days before trying it down the 3 stair etc.

Dont be like me. Respect the learning curve and dont rush to get back out after an injury, you can end up making it so much worse than it originally was. It's not a race

The Ollie should not be your first trick tip is so true. It took me years of boarding before I even cared to start seriously trying to learn it. Now it’s awesome, but my years of board riding definitely helped me learn it easier.

Terrific advice! I'd add to find a well maintained park where experienced skaters like to go. Even if they look intimidating, they are usually really nice and often will give you great tips. Also, wear ALL the padding you can and learn to fall. Don't worry if no one else is wearing it. It's really not that bad and you won't be sorry you had those wrist guards on when you miss a trick, fall awkwardly and *don't* break your wrist, or can just slide down the bowl on your kneepads, get right back up, and try your trick again. Get comfortable, then commit when you feel ready. It's a great sport!

Such great advice!!!

The best advice I got while learning to balance and push is to always bend your knees and keep your weight focused on your front foot. If you put your weight on the back foot you tend to let the board slide out forwards from under you. Also its never too embarrassing to just set the board on the grass and practice your balance and footwork!

Another tip - it's never too late to start skateboarding! And if you feel you're never going to land that ollie - you don't HAVE to! You can have fun just riding, maybe change your wheels to softer ones and try cruising around or try longboarding?

just started skating today and went to the park with my friend, we only had my board so we switched off which was really fun because i could see what he was doing as a beginner like me. i corrected my habit of pushing mongo, kept better track of my shoulders, and got used to pumping up and down ramps. at first it was a little overwhelming to see all the really good skaters there but after a while i noticed the people just riding around the park who were barely beginning like us. the younger kids who were actually pretty nasty were really nice to us and they even offered pointers to help us loosen up. the skating community is a whole lot more chill than i expected

#1 tip i have is something i had to overcome myself. Don't ever worry about what anyone else thinks of you. You're at the skatepark for the same reason they are. To skate and to have fun.

Make it a point to sometimes skate with people who are better than you. Causes you to have to improve in order to be on the same playing field.

My tip: dont be afraid to fall or slipout! That was my main fear, eventually you are going to fall and hurt youre self you HAVE to get at it with full confidence or you never get anywhere when you try a trick. It is scary trying to ollie it is scary trying to kickflip but just know that you cant just trip and walk off a failed move all the time..you WILL bust and fall sometimes period!

Surprised this isn’t a top tip! If you push with your front foot (known as mongo), it is more difficult to set up for tricks and can also throw off your balance. Always push with your back foot! If you are in the habit of pushing mongo (I was for years), spend a full day just pushing around or down the street with your back foot. It’ll switch the habit and set you up to be a more balanced and responsive skater. Sub tip for more advanced: Spending a day pushing and riding down the street switch is a great way to build comfort for riding both switch and fakie

Totally! This is something I dont get about skating culture.. Posing is actually a detrimental part of the learning process.. when babies/toddlers are learning their first steps on how to eat and walk and do their first human things.. they 'mimic' their parents or their environment.. or 'pose' like them to get into the habit of that learning.. so i find it odd that people have come up with a word like 'poser', we are all posers when we are learning anything.. its how we try to get accustomed to learning any skill! We have to mimic.. by giving it a go.... or pose into the assumed position of doing the movement.. I mean everyone's got to create some blueprint of the movement in their mind and try that out to see if it works for them or not.. and for that reason i actually think posing is a great skill not to be underrated! So keep posing until you become a really good skater! 🤣

My best tip is after you get comfortable riding, spend some time just jumping on and off your board. It helps build confidence that if things go pear shaped, you can safely jump off your board. Also, I recommend going straight to concrete to learn tricks instead of grass and just but a brick in the middle between the wheels. This way, the board rolls a bit so you get the feel for that movement but if things go wrong it won’t completely slip out from under you. Once you get comfortable then just remove the brick. This really helped with the first tip of jumping on and off the board.

Just started skating 3 months ago! I've been working on riding and pushing and trying the occasional 'pre-ollie' tricks. I have to say, as a musician, trying to ollie is like trying to perform a song before you know how to play the instrument. Thank you so much for these videos! I really love the way you put things 😊😊 you're helping me learn something I've wanted to do since I was 8

Once you learn to push and ride around in your preferred stance time to learn to push and ride switch, never to early to learn switch tricks either if I could go back I would learn the switch version of a trick right after I got it down regular

My advice is that although it may be tempting to go and learn impressive new tricks like the treflip and the impossible, if you aren't ready for them it will be much easier and useful to learn more simple tricks like the ollie and the kickflip, just remember that if you keep trying one day you'll get to learn those tricks

Started skating again at 44 and just hit my first real skate park a couple weeks ago 🤘🏻 loving it

Great advice. My top tips....Don't be a poser. Don't hate others for what they ride or look like. Also one thing i've noticed about new generation skaters is that they go straight to tricks and forget about cruising. Cruising on your board is essential for building style, balance and confidence. Rolling around is going to give you so much more stability in the future than just doing stationary ollie bails endlessly.

Shoe tip: get a high top (like the ones at the table in the video) to decrease damage to your ancle. You can even cuff a pair of long socks for extra protection

My tip is to take your time, some people learn faster than others and that's fine, don't try to race with anyone.

I got my first skateboard 2 days ago and i did my forst ollie 😁

This is something I wish I knew, people usually say shoes on screws well I found it's easier for me to pump my board by putting my shoes on the outer screws, or two shoes on two screws, I'm not saying this will work for everyone but it definitely made a big difference for me.

The only issue I have encountered thus far is that I can’t seem to find safety gear locally. (Hmmm you sell skateboards but no safety gear 😕) I should add that I currently live abroad and it’s slim pickings. I went online but the order will take a few weeks so in the meantime I tightened the wheels so they don’t roll as freely and I do grass drills.

How's it going now?

Just ride around on your Board. Just riding around starting as a beginner has made a big difference in my progression.

Getting back in in my mid 30s I’m realizing how much more important it is to stretch, warm up slowly before going big, and focus on “proper” form or posture or whatever as you practice. I wonder how much not doing this when I was younger slowed me down and contributed to my injuries like the acl which took me out. Main advice is don’t compare yourself to other skaters and just have fun wherever you’re rat.

I live in Mexico and had a mini concrete skate park built in my back yard with lights and music. At 62 I wear all pads and have skated 30 nights straight, surf most every day, skating is a must for surfers who want to advance fast. Barefoot on a carver...

I mostly quit hobbies like yoyoing, i started yoyoing and i am good in progressing, but i knew alot of tricks already, so i got bored and quit, but you and Braille made me keep skating, i sucks in manual but after i watched some of ur tutorials and braille too, it made my manual last a little longer. Your a great teacher, i almost got bored and stressed by why cant i manual but i can do ollie 0.2 cm of the ground and you and braille helped me a lot, thx for those efforts in teaching, i would support you and braille once i can earn some bucks

You said a lot of stuff I already knew, but you said it in a way that shows new light on the fundamentals of what it means to ride for yourself. Very nice work.

This is so wholesome! I’d say my biggest piece of advice is, practice what you’ve got till you’re bored with it before moving on to the next thing. For example, I just learned how to ollie up curbs two days ago (landed like two of them). Yesterday I did 50 ollies up curbs. Next I’ll do them up boxes or 2-stairs, but I’ll give it until I can ollie up curbs in my sleep. The level of confidence that comes from practice is kind of unstoppable 🤘

The ollie turorial video of yours was very helpful.

Thank you! Very glad to hear that!!!

got my board yesterday this was super useful!!!

As an adult rookie, I'm loving this channel Bro. Thanks for the encouragement and info!

19 years old and just started to skate 3 months ago, finally had the guts! Already know how to ollie, Fs180, Shuve it, Pop shove it, Fs Pop shove it and heelflip, I´m starting transition now, already know how to drop in and rock to fakie. Don´t ever feel you are too old to start!

Love your videos.

This is great for the beginner. Friendly manner from the presenter too. 🤘🏼

I guess another personal tip is that if you have never tried skateboarding or anything similar, even after like 20 to 30 minutes of practicing your legs and feet are gonna hurt because they are underdeveloped and are not used to an activity like skateboarding.

Just discovered your channel and I really like it!thanks for your advices

I'm so glad you're digging the videos =)

I just started skating again after 12 years. It feels so weird and uncomfortable but your videos make me feel less like a noob, keep at it!

thx you for what u do man!

Nice work,yeah good point,some people pick things up quicker than other people so don't worry what or how good other people are focus on yourself yeah it fun dambit don't get upset using the force is free energy and is so cool just being able to roll and get somewhere using the force ah umm gravity,thanks Justin really good stuff thanks for raffs and common sense,yeah I suppose all that gymnastics I had when in the 1st and 2nd grade really help rolling around on mats learning how to roll and I guess essential fall properly was a big help in my skateboarding because at 54 I m still skating vert luckily near by we have a ten foot pool,and just up the road they built a new 12 foot bowl in St Petersburg building a baker on the hunt for some trucks and some smoking wheels,piece out dude u rock,u a smooth talker u are ,u are.THANKS

Thanx for the video

Thank you so much!

One tip for beginners, don't let other people say that you can't skate because you can skate

Great Vid. I would suggest though before you even attempt an ollie try a shove it. I taught my ex how can barley stand on a board to do a shove it. Great Tips!

This really helped alot.

Great channel here! Thanks for the vids! I dont have even skateboard and money for that coz of many reasons, but i have an aim now. Now im ready to move my ass.

Wristguards! If skating street on a chill day, a longsleeve-shirt can easily cover most of the wristguard (If you're not comfortable with the "-streetcred" of riding with protection). I broke a tiny bone in my hand a week ago (If not probably healed it's possible i could get a bad handicap in my hand), and I now feel very held back and cant commit to anything. A wristguard is worth it!

Top tips. My 13 y-old son is a newbie, I will definitely have him consider these advices before he gets on his board again.

Oh man, that's an 'easier said than done' for me! haha definitely a good tip though

i never had an extra appetite for food like most people but ever since I started skating, I think bout food alot and catch myself making sure I have some extra pocket cash for. quick meal or snack while hitting the town.

Your guidance is always insightful and reasonable to follow. Your videos are my most watched skateboard tips. What kind do you consider good skateboarding shoes?

That is so great to hear Tommi! Thank you for taking the time to let me know :) My favorite skate shoes currently in production are Nike SB, but my friends have had a lot of success with all of the other major skate shoe brands (for example: Vans, Etnies, DC, eS, and Converse). The main idea is that you don't want to skate with shoes that are made for other activities (running shoes, weightlifting shoes, tennis shoes, etc.) and obviously stay away from any other unsuitable variations like boots, sandals, and flip flops.

NSI Skateboarding [Justin Lauria] is it better to have thin canvas shoes or more cushy shoes? Does that come down to style or the type of skating you’re doing? Thanks!

You need more subs,your chanel is one of the most useful

Surround your hard work on tricks with the joy of just riding your board!

I have skated for one year now and my goal was to do a kick flip well I concord my in about 2 months and I stopped skating for a while and now I am getting back into it it and if you are new just remember everyone was in that same position as you.

My tips as an old guy trying to learn skateboarding. I started at 41 yo. I skated when I was 16, just cruising. So I knew how to ride but I knew NO tricks, nothing. I started with a specific goal: To learn how to ollie and be able to ride in the street ollieing over curbs and stuff...I am 43 yo now, 2 years down the line. I don't practice that often cos I am a professional and a family man, but I do when I can. I have done my first "line" involving 3 consecutive ollie and 1 no-comply and 2 reverts a week ago.... I had a few falls in the process the last few years and it hurts a lot as I am old. So my tips are: 1.Protection: Wrist guards and Knee pads, maybe also helmet. Gave me the confidence to fall knowing that it won't hurt me. I NEVER ride without my wrist guards. 2. Space: Ollie is tricky and you need space to practice at speed. That goes for every trick eventually. I found a good square of asphalt in my area in the middle of a local park, it helped massively. 3. Goal: I wanted to learn ollie. I didn't care if it will take me 2 weeks or 3 years..I was trying my best given the time I have to practice and my life demands and achieved the goal. When I ollie I feel like Rodney Mullen. Keep your goals clear and just practice. 4. Self confidence: I see skate videos every day, tricks tutorials etc. EVERY single one of them skaters is better than me. The other day in the park I saw a little boy trying some shuvits and he also couldn't ollie....It' so funny but I admit thinking "Ha, I am better than him... :) " ...Skateboarding is NOT a completion. Know your limits and then there will be no limits...You are only competing to your yesterdays self...Relax and have fun.

Thanks. Good tipp...learn to assemble your board

4 months or more skating and I can still barely push 😂😂I have a natural fear of heights. And speed. I can push but not properly. I don't fall, I can turn and kinda kick turn. I don't know what to do to build up confidence.

Happy Go Skate Day!

Happy Go Skateboarding Day!!!

p2 or flight deck will be hard to break highly recommend for heavier people or high impact sk8ters

So true about not focusing on ollies first. By all means have a go but also learn the easier tricks - it's all about having fun. By the time you come back to the ollie you'll have all the tools without realising

A good tip for new skaters or advanced skaters looking for boards that don't break easily, try carbon fiber decks, they last longer weigh a bit less pop is way better and best of all they can take hits like no other deck, a carbon fiber deck is a wooden deck with the middle ply being replaced by a layer of carbon fiber which is a lightweight metal.
