www.twitch.tv/rickyglaser I've been having lots of fun livestreaming IRL skateboarding on Twitch follow along to catch me live :)

Ricky, With as many criticisms there are about the internet, seeing you and Hegla working with each other via KZread is so inspiring.

The interwebs would be cooler with more Rickys and less trolls or perma-angry people.

It's not only cool to see the commitment & progress (much respect to you @HeglaKZread !), but it's definitely also motivating & helpful for new skaters; given these are sincere vids that represent the journey realistically.

I just brought a skateboard last Friday!! These videos have help boost my confidence to finally try skateboarding! Wish I got into sooner I'm nearly 40 now.

I'm 43 and haven't skated since I was a teen.. just got a board this morning 😍

Awesome, great video. I started skating in my 40's about 3 months ago and it took me about 5 hours to land my first shuvit. So fun.

Watch these with my 6 year old son, he repeats the tips you give when we are riding together. Thanks for being a positive place for beginners

I’m glad your son is doing what he loves!❤❤

There is so much joy in me watching someone get these tricks and remembering that same feeling that i had :D

Funny enough I watched you two separately and loved seeing the connection. I've also been struggling with shuvits and ollies, and I feel like I'm learning along with @Hegla with your help, too! good stuff!

This is so inspiring for me. I am thinking about buying a skateboard and learning it.

RESPECT FOR HELPING BEGINNER SKATERS GET BETTER. I WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU AND SKATE WITH YOU ONE DAY, YOU SEEM SO HUMBLE AND KIND.😀😀❤❤

Must be v. satisfying knowing that she's actually watching your reactions and taking the advice you give. Hopefully this continued series will help her - and anyone else also learning - to keep at it and improve. That's the way you succeed.

There was a brief moment in time when video responses were a thing on KZread and this was the world I dreamed of. Good job, yo.

she needs to do tic tacs to get skate muscle memory:) switches and 360s, everyone should. kinda confuses me seeing so many modern skaters wobbly on their boards and u know its cuz of no tictacking and movement pivots were learnt. really creates the shoulder, hip and legs to become one to leanr any other trick or movement

super useful series and nice to see the sweet collab

I seriously wish I was learning to skateboard in 2023. The amount of insights you can get just from a video like this make the sport much less intimidating to new skaters. That being said, I don't think I would trade the comradery and people I've met from putting myself out there and going to skateparks. I guess I'm happy to see skateboard reach new people and all the comments of people learning. It's the best activity.

YES! Finally you said it! She needs to get to an actual park and get with people who can get her to that next phase!

This series is awesome! Thank you both for doing that!

Love the vids ricky!

Watching the entire video waiting for you to comment on your own advice like "Yeah, I totally agree!" Rickception 😂

also she is actyl takeing it seriously and is having fun and that is what it is all abt

Her board seems to have a rough tail, you should send her a Ricky board!!😂😂

Invite her to the braille house!!

I always explain that "your head turns first so you can see where you're going, then your shoulders follow your head and turn to that direction and THEN your legs follow your shoulders and the board just comes along and you don't need to even try to do anything. You go where you want, and the board follows YOU." :)

It's astonishing how much "i think people are judging me so i stopped" is said

From my pov, you look like a star! I mean, the fearlessness (or so it seems, haha). I recently started myself (soon 34), and the fear of falling is what scares me to commit 100%. Then I see you, jumping up and down on the board, doing 180-twists and practicing shove its like it's nothing 🔥 On those shove its, I would've been so scared of landing wrong on the board and flipping over on my back. Which I've done while trying out powerslides when I couldn't even stand properly on the board. Fell right on my tailbone, and couldn't even roll on my back without it hurting for over 6 weeks. I know using the board as often as you can is probably the best. But here in Norway it's started to freeze on the streets, give it some weeks to a month and we will get snow. So, besides spending time on the board, have you used any other methods practicing your balance? Keep it up! Looking forward seeing your progression!

I LOVE these videos so so much!!!

duuuude this was awesome

YAY. I missed hegla's videos but I don't mind watching this again but this combo is just doing it for me I don't know why. #rickyxhegla

Hey hegla never give up keep skating I believe in you x

Solid advice from Rick 🤣

yaaaaay I can ezly say that skating has turned into my favorite hobbie too! I just came back from the skate park after my first BS noseslide and it actually slided good! The hype when u land a new trick is just the best feeling. Also my chuck's is dead and I need new durable shoes lol thx for this content

and I hate trying shuvits cuz they are the real shin murderers

what helped me level out my board while ollieing was moving my feet so they cover the bolts but put my foot at an angle so only 3 bolts are showing that way it almost forces the board to level out and wrap my back foot around the back tip of the tail

great tips ricky

Paying it forward like a true-blue good bloke

Im going to watch it now man

1:33 absolutely, I always say you're not trying if you're not falling

Thank you for all you do me and my friends in Australia love your video when you taught your girlfriend to kickflip i got my kickflips on lock. Now I'm learning treflips any advice.❤❤❤

it begins with the thougth means that if you can imagine doing something it is possible...when you are confident about balance and speed remember to look where you want to go as your head will follow where you are looking at your sholders will follow so your hips will follow.,and hips dont lie..relax.enjoy

"Lifestyle not a hobby, fam" is what I would advise. You can have more than one but in the moment it's all encompassing.

Everyone thinks skateboarding is easy It's not. Everything is hard. It gets easier over time but everything is hard. I figured out how to pop the board from nose manny yesterday I'm pretty hyped.

I'd argue everything is easy, people are just quitters and self-defeatist. People act like you're going to pick up a new skill and be pro instantly 😂

thank you all youtubers for sharing

wear a helmet. like cyclists do. serious. it takes that fear away. even dropping in on a 1 ft ramp you can slip out. you got this

​@@chrisschneider850thanks man! i've been dropping in on banks and stuff, just trying to slowly build confidence. you're preaching to the choir about the helmet! i got a bad concussion in my 20s from hill bombing w/o a helmet so i definitely suit up now 👍

Let's Go

It's hard to find a smooth ground in the UK :)

Let's goooo

9:35 "i fell over so bad, it was so embarrassing" Literally a tiny stumble with no one around. Spot light effect is a bitch

If I want to just cruise, no tricks involved, would a Penny Nickle (27 inch) work for a COMPLETE beginner? Or am I better off on a wider cruiser?

I'm really struggling with the run up. Every time i drop my board it ends up at a weird angle. I watch videos and i can't figure out for the life of me what I'm doing different

It's weirdly a trust-thing. The more force and momentum, the better it works. If you're intimidated, you'll do it slow and it'll be wonky

Subscribed to Helga.

Board control is definitely key. Trying to flip a board you've never ridden ain't gonna work well

Hey to all skateboarders I have a question . On day i was driving on my skateboard but then Suddenly my axle fell away. I put the skateboard loose, but something like that shouldn't happen, right ?

Her biggest issue is trying to land with her feet together, leading to falls

the ollies r like ollie south

One session but not one day of skating, also sick well done! 👊

ive been skating for almost 26ish years now, ive never done a nose pickup or even heard of it before lol, just seems like a stupid ass way to get your board, nevermind it even having a name

Take a shot every time she says “whilst”

11:44 Smooth ground (especially in the US) doesn't really exist, especially outside of a city

she went from "this is impossible" to landing it in 4 days. Kids these days need to know skills take weeks months, years to get good at it.

idk why but i feel like that board is too big for her , i mean i think she would feel and look good on a 7.5 (i myself use an 8.3)
