Can agree friend, I about ate it making the mistake he mentioned. I need to learn how to slow down on sidewalks with no room to carve??

I bought a break pad and lever that attaches onto your skateboard. My beautiful carver board now has 3 holes, I nearly broke my neck and I still can’t break. This vid makes it look so easy! My carver board gains so much speed on just the tinniest slope and it’s holding me back.

man today i was going downhill and started to wobble and thought i’ll just jump off and nope as soon as i touched the ground i just flew forward

Really well explained. I never thought foot braking is similar to pushing and have always been shit and scared at foot braking ig the speed is anything like fast. Going to practice with this kind of thinking. Other things too.

Finally someone explaining why I stumble instead of gradually stopping! Thank you so much!

I just got back into long boarding after a few years of not having a board, and this was really helpful. Thanks ^^

Thanks for the video. You've prevented this old man from faceplanting. You should include a link to those gloves.

thanks for the video. i’ve been jumping off and flying across the gound:)

Yo dude, your tutorials are super well done and help a lot for beginners like me. With your videos, a gif from Reddit, and one more video from another creator I've learned to really longboard in a few hours a day over the course of 3 days! I had never been able to even stand up on a board without falling or grabbing something before starting, and I think I've come pretty far in not much time. Thanks so much and keep it up!

I just got my first board a couple of days ago and it's my second day of learning how to skate for the first time. I'm able to push off well now and I'm able to push off when I'm moving too. I just need to learn how to stop, this is where this video comes in. I'll have to work on riding the board with one foot because I'm not entirely used to that yet, so I'll have to work on it and then do what you said in this video. My confidence is building up

Thanks for putting this very helpful introduction to longboards.

This is a really professional explanation, thanks!

@@benxtfitz2871 That is most likely because you still cant balance super well on the board only on one foot so you instinctively try to get a 'step' with your breaking foot. I would advise you to just try slowing down while you are riding with moderate speed and just dragging your foot on the ground besides your board. U can literally even make your breaking foot limp and let your toes drag on the ground. This is obviously not the correct way but you will learn to not stomp on the ground. Then you can gradually learn how to fully stop while dragging your heel.

I haven’t been able to do a single foot stop. I watched so many tutorials on KZread and they very briefly mention to just put back foot next to front foot to slow down and unless I’m going super slow, it catches every time. I have to try putting my heel down first and slowly put down my entire foot but it sounds like a helpful suggestion.

You are so helpful dude

After about 4 weeks of getting my first longboard, I was hopeless at foot breaking. For the past week and a half, I've spent many hours riding my longboard one footed. I have a regular stance, so I've been focusing on riding goofy and balancing on my right foot (and my left foot to a lesser extent). Doing this has really improved my balance and foot breaking ability, and now I'm almost as good at riding switch as I am at riding regular. I really want to learn how to slide (I'm interested in downhill), but I'm afraid of falling. I haven't fallen yet, despite skating down some hills (which was terrifying at times) and not being able to foot break. I'm also concerned about wearing down my wheels too quickly. I wish I knew, as a complete beginner, how to start practicing slides. I have a helmet, wristguards, and safety pads for my elbows and knees.

@ZackRamsey14

What ive been doing is just practicing little toeside kicks with my back foot at slow speeds while in a carve. you can actually slide alot this way if you decompress correctly. Basically, go into a hard toeside carve (even slow) with your back toe slightly off the toe side of the board. Decompress (go from low and knees bent and stand up still with knees bent) and then kick out the back with your toe side of your back foot. I've done a few around 90 degrees even at very slow speeds. It's gonna feel wierd at first but it's a safe option to get the feel of sliding and how your wheels will react.

Hey man - excellent video. You do an excellent job of explaining things. I looked for a video such as yours because I'm learning how to use a longboard because I think it might help me with balance in snowboarding. Anyway, I've become comfortable with the longboard, but have no stopping skills. Hoping the foot-braking will help me some. By the way, I'm 55, so the bending to do the hand-brake thing simply isn't gonna work. Thanks again though.

Hey dude! Love this video! I’ve been longboarding only 3 or 4 months now, but think I’ve picked it up pretty well - your video definitely helped for sure. I was just wondering what board you have please? 🤙🏻

Nice video!

Im really going to try this, my goal is to so really big hills, but even the smallest ones i go really fast haha. I have to start somewhere. Thank you

Awesome class! Thank you!

it took me a day to be able to comfortably ride my longboard. It's going on a week learning to footbrake but I finally think I made progress yesterday where I can feel the weight shift needed to brake. I can't go at high speeds and expect to brake but I'm mainly commuting now so I'm not going that fast anyway.

Third day out on my longboard. 42 year old long time snowboarder but never skater. I feel pretty comfortable making turns and balancing, but I still can't get foot braking!! When I start to get a bit more speed than I'm comfortable with, I tend to put my whole foot down. Definitely need more practice.

one thing i had to figure out that no one talks about for footbraking, is that you want to index your foot with your board, put your foot right up to your board so that your ankle is touching it, that way its less likely to catch and be more consistent...kinda like how you index your heel on the floor when your using the gas pedal of a car so that your able to know how much pressure to put down

Getting a new board soon for the 1st time trial. I know carving with snowboard. Looks like that feeling is similar in skateboard

Thank's very cool. :)

Nice vid rly helpful thanks!

I live next to a looong stretched hill. I drove all the way down and as I was going, I soon realized: I was fast... Very fast and I almost reached my house... Well my only solution was to jump of, start running, falling down cause my feet couldnt catch up with my current speed, and slid 1 and a half meter on the road... I still have a bruise after two years now (its just a slight discoloration if you compare it to the main color of my arm. it's like a little pinkish patch. It won't go away. Well I came to my conclusion that I will never drive downhill with my longboard any time soon...not without slowing down. Thank you so much for that advice
