Skating alone can be sketchy sometimes though folks, I went out skating alone one time and somehow found my way back to my friends with a concussion, don’t remember where I was, how long I was unconscious (if I was), how I fell. Glad they were close by though and I didn’t end up worse off. So just be safe out there homies 💙

I barely skate with anyone, ( I have no friends that skate ),so I decided to put in my airpods and play my favorite music, and I just blew threw my progression. I go kickflips more consistent, almost landed my first treflip and backside flip. Before, I barely had kickflips and I would get bored easily.

Id also get self conscious cus i live in a small town so barely good spots to skate where there isnt like 60 cars passing through every 5-10 mins. But ever since i just put my music on i can now do an ollie consistently, frontside 180s more consistent but not perfect yet, and occasionally land a few pop shuvits.

Just ordered my first board. I'm currently in a small town college 1700 miles away from home bored with classes and gaming. So I'm hoping I can do this as there are many neat paths throughout the town, It does feel awkward getting into skateboarding at 18. I tried it at 14, busted my hip and recently got the urge to give it another go.
I kinda prefer skating alone because I can just focus on myself but I also like skating with friends because if the skatepark is busy, I get so self conscious like I’m getting in peoples way, and if my friend is there I’m like less embarrassed ig 😂

I skate by myself a lot, mostly because I don’t know anyone else my age that skates. My top tips are - 1. celebrate your accomplishments, big or small, give yourself credit. 2. When possible watch other local skaters, it’s a good way to learn and progress. 3. Don’t be afraid to go to the skatepark by yourself or if your just starting. Everyone there started at the beginning, no one will make fun of you.

Bro illegal civ Godspeed the greatest skate vid ever
Kickflips are legendary
I started skateing in the start of the quarantine (i am latino, and here the quarantine steels up) so i have always skated by my own xd
One thing that helps when i skate alone is to think of it like the gym. For consistency, think reps and doing the same trick over and over for x amount of time or tricks. then a new trick, pr (personal record) or in this case, a new trick. And like he said a quote on quote "New trick" doesn't have to be a different trick just the same trick on something else (5-0 on a ledge, 5-0 on the bump to flat bar) same as how 280 on the legpress is different than 280 for squating
Great vid, really liked the little memes and funny clips you edited in whilst you spoke. I had a solo sesh this morning, going for another one in the afternoon!
Skating alone actually makes filming a lot easier for me! I look at skating solo as “time to work”, and skating with friends as “time to have some fun”. With that being said it’s all fun. Just different types.
Luis Mora and the Erased team get me hype to go off and skate. But I will say that where I live has no where to skate at all.
i like skating with friends better but i moved to a different country and dont know how to make new ones so this video helps. thanks!
I started to skate two months ago and skate alone. For me it was kinda lonely and frustrating 'till I started to listen to music while skating and watching videos before going out👌👌

I've been super hyped on Johnny Giger's newest street part. The raw cut is even better
i find it awkward to be there alone, since I'm a new skater. i also found out i was pushing with the front foot and i was already kinda used to it yet i had skated w it for 2 days and today i started skating w the back foot, my right. i find it so hard and i feel like i just get scared sometimes and run off the board lol. I'm trying to be comfortable on the board but it's just hard. i have no skateparks in my area at all so i just have to skate down small hills on concrete. i also just kinda sometimes fall even if I just started pushing. i need some tips maybe? i know i just have to skate a lot but maybe there's some tips i can use/keep in mind when skating.
I'm fundamentally someone who prefers to be alone or with a very select group of people. I find skating alone therapeutic, necessary, but sometimes having just 1 or 2 buddies that really care about your progress and stoking you on, is also so important.

This one is for the viewer: If you ever think that you can't skate alone and you can only improve with friends, and you feel sad because you don't have any friends that skatez just remember that Rodney Mullen learned and created most of his tricks alone.
