    I gifted myself a dancing longboard a little over a week ago for my upcoming 56 birthday. In that short time, I've added two more boards for my boys and their sister rides her kick scooter while we practice. I hope to be able to ghost-ride (jump off, run, and jump back on) like you in the next week or so. Same-day Update: Ghost Ride complete!

    I love how genuine and wholesome this video is. I in the last 3 weeks bought two different longboards. Bought an electric longboard first but that was what open my eyes to push longboards and I quickly discovered longboard dancing. After riding an electric skateboard for 2 months straight and then buying a push longboard, they were two different worlds. A lot of how you felt in the beginning of your learning in this video is basically a lot of how I was feeling and still do. Still don't even have a full month of push longboard experience yet

    I love this!! I wanted to learn to longboard when I was 14 with my brother and his friends, but finally learned with my husband (bf at the time) when I was 19. I love how freeing it makes me feel, like I could fly heh. Haven’t done it in quite a few years, but watching this makes me want to get back into it. 💛 Would love to learn dance moves, too. Idk if you learned how to stop, but foot breaking is what I’ve learned to do. Need smooth shoes, like Vans. Helps to slow down too when you’re going down a steeper hill. Only problem is your right foot always wears holes in them, but I think it’s the easiest way and your board doesn’t go rolling off. Can’t wait to see you keep going!

    There are some amazing points here that only someone like a beginner would pick up. The points about the carving technique took me a while to figure out but is so true! I have to argue about following people at the top level though - I think it’s lore beneficial to watch someone and realise it’s okay to make mistakes whilst learning, like this video!

    beginner skater girl here! I’ve been longboarding for 11 days (as per the time i’ve posted this comment), and i’ve learned a lot! so i thought i’d write down a bunch of stuff i picked up online and through real life experiences. (do note that english isn’t my first language, i hope my grammar’s good huhu) 1. Do your research! (skating style, different boards, beginner tips) - it’s easy to just get a random board and start. but i really recommend doing your research on how everything works before buying anything. this is cuz your first board relies on what skating style you wanna try out (for example, I’m more into cruising and dancing. so for practicality i got a board that’s more for cruising but has similar characteristics to a dancing board) - ask people who skate for some tips! or join communities online and read a bunch of their stuff. i found that theres only so much you could research on your own 2. Get good shoes! make sure your shoes are good for skating! the cashier from where i bought my board from recommends a sole thats flat and bends well for beginners so you could really feel the board. when your a little more intermediate, a sole thats a little thicker and sturdier is better since you’ll be using them as brakes. generally, its recommended to get shoes that are padded inside so theyre easier on your feet :)) 3. Bend your knees, Learn different ways to stop, and wear atleast 1 kind of protective gear - this i am still trying to get used to 😭 its for both stability and safety so make sure to keep them in mind - for the protective gear, i used to not wear any. but after a few close calls, i’ve gotten a glimpse of how important they really are HUHU 6. don’t be afraid to get hurt and fall - I’ve been told that get injuries are a rite of passage. so bruises, cuts, and scraps are super normal. you won’t get anywhere without risk nor will your journey really be worth it. - as a nursing student, i suggest to be prepared when you DO get hurt. if possible, try to carry around a first aid kit (bandages, gauze, bandaids, antiseptic). knowledge on basic first aid on open wounds, joints, and bones are pretty cool to have also! - for me, i got my first injury during the first time I rode my dad’s longboard (this being my serious first time on a skateboard, EVER). I got a skin abrasion on the side of my foot thats about half an inch big because i didn’t wear the right shoes like my dad said 😅 girly my dad’s board flew forward and i did the splits 😭 after seeing my life flash before my eyes i was on my neighborhood’s pavement 😭😭😭 but even after that experience i found that i still loved what i was doing! so I patched my foot up, put on the right shoes, and practiced more (with a lot more caution) 5. Just don’t give a fuck - i find that people are too busy with their own lives to mind you. as long as your not in their way, relax! their judgements mean nothing in the long run. if other skaters judge you for being a beginner, its their fault being so sucky and weird. 7. Appreciate the small things, celebrate small wins! - it could literally be a good outfit or a new playlist, whatever gets you excited to pick up your skateboard and practice works! - i find that being excited about the tinniest things like balancing properly, turning, or going a little faster is great for progress! Like earlier, i got over the fear of going downhill and turning!! even with a few close calls achieving these small goals are soooo worth it! 8. practice frequently! - skating is a lifestyle. so incorporating it in everyday life makes it easier to get better! i hope this helps!

    Hi Ally, Fresh baby Lamb to the world of longboarding (Longboard dancing) here. Been practicing at the local school (past 2 weeks) to just be comfortable with shuffling my steps on the board. Have to admit I'm enjoying every moment of it when I can. Hope to "level up" to the city bike paths soon for some real cruising~

    Though I started longboarding before the COVID lockdowns, I really took to it during the lockdowns. To me, practice has always been fun, even when I am seriously messing up a new skill that I am still learning. Fun has been a key motivator. And sometimes, it does help to see how a trick is done before trying it for the first time. Now, some folks are intrigued watching me, wondering if they, too, would have so much fun longboarding.

  • @AllySheehan

    @AllySheehan

    2 жыл бұрын

    Thank you so much!! So the longest (dancer) board is definitely easier for balance and stability, because it's longer it ends up sitting lower to the ground - you can see in side on clips in this video how i kind of sink into it?? So it feels like you're not up so high, whereas the shorter boards don't "sink" as much so you're a bit higher up. The shorter board (platypus size) is great for carving and sharper turns, but that also just has to do with how tight/loose the trucks are. Basically the longest board is more fun for cruising and dancing, the smaller board is better for going fast and turning fast. There is probably some kind of better description on their website!

I’m not trying to say other peoples ary can’t inspire me, it sure can! But it can also dishearten me to see other people have such a distinctive style which i struggle with a lot or seeing them do a certain technique very well which I struggle to do. In the end it probably just comes down to being able to motivate yourself to train.

    I attempted a hill on day two, like a BIG one that had no possible end to it besides leaping off and hopefully clearing a large footpath to tumble onto grass. I did it, pulled something in my foot and grazed my hands and knee. I rolled over 3 times and my board just smashed the curb. Funnest shit ever and I got off lucky, I advise coming up with a safe escape plan then me and dont listen to 200s rap while skating... makes you do reaaal dumb shit.

    Ally! So cool, I started roller skating years ago for this same reason, but I'm extremely uncoordinated and clearly skating maybe once a month wasn't going to make me a superstar hahah Curious about the two sizes you've got, do you find a huge difference between the dancer and the shorter platypus one? The smaller seems a bit more practical for taking places, but does it feel way more unstable? Definitely only asking out of curiosity and not because I'm about to spend a few hundred $$ on a random new impulse hobby eheh ...... :))

    Thanks dude!! Skates are so cool too, SO much harder than longboarding haha The longer version is definitely more "stable", but the shorter (platypus) length (which is still long) is still way more stable than a regular skateboard - especially if you have the trucks nice and tight. If you want the steadiest, impossible to fall off, go for the dancer. If you want still steady, but a bit easier to take somewhere, go for platypus! If you're super uncoordinated and want to feel instantly super balanced and never fall off, I'd go for the dancer I think :)
