Every skater respects skaters. Best way to break ice if uncomfortable is check if you are doing a trick and in someone’s way who’s waiting to go on the thing you are on. No matter how new you are the top skaters in your park will appreciate that a lot and tell you no we take turns or you are good they aren’t skating that thing right now but thanks etc skateboarders are a collective of misfits remember the best ones have spent tons of hours doing this thing they love and they are for sure passionate about it and would love to help you if you ask etc. It’s a good community.

There is nothing wrong with looking like a beginner if you ARE a beginner. We all start somewhere.

Shed your fear. One of the main things about learning something new is to not worry how you look. The same people that will give you too little credit at the beginning will give you too much credit after you figure things out. Both messages only messes up your game, so it's best not to care and focus on your craft. People will always misappropriate your credit, progress doesn't lie, focus on your results instead of how you look.

I just started skateboarding again and videos like this make me worry about the wrong things. This guy may have helped me learn how to pop-shovit but he sure makes you think that everything you do is gonna be blamed, and honestly, so what? Skateboarding is for myself, not for people to look at me. So my best advice is do not listen to all this "poser, not poser" bullcrap videos and coments and just do whatever you want and HOWEVER you want it. Make it your own style even. But don't ever let anyone's opinion get in the way. Tony Hawk himself mallgrabs. That should destroy the whole purpose of this video

I liked the beginning. I’m starting out, and I’ll actively tell people “Hey, I’m really new, if I’m in your way just let me know.” People have been universally supportive and cool.

You'll find most guys who have been skating for any length of time to be helpful and willing to offer advice as long as you are receptive to hearing it. Skateboarding really comes down to 3 things regardless of your level of experience. Perseverance, repetition and eventually progression. What I would say to beginners is please have some situational awareness while at the park. Watch what lines other skaters are doing and be aware of which obstacles they are using so you don't accidentally cut them off or "snake" them as it's referred to.

It's like anything. Don't be scared of the thing. Do the thing a lot. Let people laugh at you sometimes. (Just take it in stride, you do look kinda funny) Don't be afraid to fail. That's how you get better at anything, skating is no different.

This was actually super helpful. I started longboarding this year and I sucked at it for a couple months. My roommate showed me to pivot straight when pushing and to learn how to balance on my front foot. I tried it for a day or so and when it clicked it completely changed my confidence towards boarding. I've been riding every day and want to eventually order a custom skateboard and a cruiser so I can have one of each!

literally saved me beacause I've been riding my board wrong since I started (I was doing pushing mongo for the past 3-4 months) and now I learned how to skate that way with ease, but i'm not good with speed and tricks that way. So now that I figured out what I'm doing wrong I'm goig to have to break my habit, which is gonna be hard but worth it in the long run. Thank you, this video it helped a lot with basics and other things I haven't tried yet :]

I have always loved skating, started out in the golden age in 75 when I was a kid, skated until 83, stopped, and picked it up in 88,89, but life got in the way and I haven't been on a board since. Now I am old but the love of skating hasn't left, so I am going to get back into it, of course, everything is going to be new to me, but I am going to dedicate serious time to this.

I never understood all the complaints. I don't do it because I got yelled at enough as a kid that I just naturally stopped, but the whole thing with people getting triggered by it is nonsensical. Just like all the other superficial complaints about clothes, deck brands, wheel shapes or sizes, and every other dumb thing teens sitting on the manny pad complain about while others are actually skating.

When I was 17, after skating for over 4 years, the "mall grab" saved my legs when a car going through traffic lights hit me. The board slapped along my entire leg and protected me (and I flipped over the car). Had I been carrying the board like you suggest, my legs would have been broken and I could have been dragged under the car and died. The "mall grab", since 1974, has been the only sensible way to carry your board. The car was totally screwed by my wheels and trucks, my board was fine and I skated away after the police came for the driver. GO MALL GRAB!

I totally get and agree that most of you worrying about what others think of your skating at the park is in your head and no one much cares one way or the other about you, but the self awareness kicks up when you're a teen and that group of girls shows up and sits there watching the skaters.

I literally just bought my first skateboard 4 days ago from the zumies in my local mall. So thankful that I didn't dare mall grab after walking out of the store because I would have been mortified to realize I did THAT.. even though I just discovered it was a thing.

I agree with everything except I never understood the problem with holding your board by the truck. If you hold it by the nose or the side, your fingertips get chewed up by the griptape.

I started to skateboard in 1993 at 12 years old. I'm almost 40 now. There where not a lot of skateboarders so me and my friends had to do everything by trail and error. Learning eachother tricks. Doing everything wrong. But we had fun in the progress. I took us years to do a proper ollie. I never had the feeling for a kickflip. I moved on to a heelflip. That was my thing. Never could do a Nollie. I sticked to regular and fakie things. But we had a lot of fun that days. It didn't bother us from the beginning there where guys in the park who had a sponsor and could do really great things. I still like to skateboard. Still can do much. My best trick is a pressureflip. But me and my friends still skateboard.

I'm here because I wanna learn more before I start but if someone is a beginner we (and other beginners) shouldn't feel embarrassed. Skaters from what I know tend to be really chill and nice and actually would love to help others learn because not many want to learn anymore and because it's just a nice community in general

I like pushing mongo way better it helps me set up tricks really good and I don’t think that People can tell you how to skate because we all learn different but I like this video it helped me a lot

I like how that very simple skatepark you have is like better than 90 percent of the many little skatearks we have here in toronto/gta area. I have no idea whos building them and what they are thinking.

Tip: if you don’t want to break bones or sprain your ankles, GO FAST. Learn all your tricks going fast. This requires you to learn how to fall correctly (rolling back up to being on your feet), but in the long run, your weight won’t be coming straight down but always forward. This means less gravity pulling on your ankles and knees and shins toward the center of the earth and more force pulling you diagonal and therefore into a slide or roll when you fall (fail). You will end up with more road rash but that’s better than being out for four months as your muscles waste away in a cast. Tip #2: if you do end up in a cast, take a supplement called Glutamine EVERY DAY. It limits muscle wasting (why your arm gets skinny in a cast) and maintains the strength of unused muscles (you’ll keep your muscle memory AND your muscles after your cast is removed!). Tip #3: Go fast. Get some good bearings (Bones Swiss are always a favorite staple). Go fast. Shred around and learn how to get the most out of your pushes. Go fast. It’s more fun and you feel all burly with the wind in your face roaring in your ears. Go fast. A skateboard is a toy. Never forget that. It’s meant to be a fun thing to play with. Soooooooooooooooooo GO FAST!
