Well here's my story; I was never really into sports of any kind until I started longboarding but I'm such a p*ssy in everything in life where I need to take risks. And then last December I made a new friend who has been skating for 14 years. And I fell in love with skateboarding I was so sketchy in the beginning but I took small steps I love transition skating. At first riding down fakie off a quarter scared me and now I go really high! But the one thing I just cannot commit to is dropping in and jumping tricks. In February I tried to drop in with help of skate buddies so one person would help me holding my hands I dropped in like 5 times and fell everytime it was okay . This was a quarter without coping btw. And then someone said you can also just roll in the quarter and I tried that. That's when I fell and my kneecab was dislocated I stepped of my deck while riding. I can drop in on a bank. But whenever I stand on the smallest quarter I get anxiety and panic . I really want to do it and I know I can, but my brain tells me otherwise and somehow I'm so scared and cannot commit... And I tried it a couple of weeks ago just to be in the drop in position and I started crying of fear. It's really demotivating me to continue on skateboarding because I don't feel like I'm making progress and it makes me sad has anybody experienced this kind of fear?

Its a part of skateboarding its like a relationship theres gonna be parts that wear you down but as long as you dont give up keep trying youll do it. Maybe you just need the right ramp a more mellow one maybe wearing some protective gear might help ? Try whatever you can to give you that confidence but whatever you do dont give up you got this!!! I just started skating after taking over a 6 year hiatus and im scared to try a lot but I dont give up

Go slow, fear is hacked progressively. Regarding demotivation, think about how rewarding it all was when You got really high as You relate! Eventually You will drop-in safe and nice, but that maybe after taking small steps, maybe on mellow slopes first. The point being, skateboarding rewards Will outweight frustration, but skipping stages is not the way. I learned the wrong way when I was young but now at 46, never take great steps, I assume that my goal is at least a month away and only through patience. And yes, I experienced that kind of fear, but I hacked it progressively, and I know It Will assault me again, same recipe. Good luck bro.

@sethbryant7894

Жыл бұрын

The best advice I can give for dropping in is to remember to commit putting your weight in the correct area at the right times. If you don't commit and put your weight where it's needed, you VERY quickly lose all control. Too far on the tail, the board flies from underneath you. Too far on the nose, you fall forward and eat it. You have to put a LOT of your weight towards the nose as you initially go down, then right at the part where the curve starts leveling out, do a pump motion with your legs and straighten your body out, staying in riding stance while evening out the weight just slightly more towards the tail. This ensures you have enough weight on the nose to keep the board level with the quarter as you go down, but not over commiting in one direction and slamming when you need to level out. This is going to sound condescending, but remember to focus on the physics of it to get over that mental hurdle. You're afraid of falling in either direction, but that will only happen if you do not plan accordingly and adjust where it is needed. The most common thing I see when people do quarters is not putting enough weight on the nose initially because they're scared of falling, but that's the only possible way to go down correctly. Just keep practicing and try to overcome the fear of not doing it correctly. If you know all the steps, tell yourself that you have everything you need to know! It's all about just putting that knowledge into practice and believing in yourself. You're probably going to fall MANY times learning this and skateboarding period, but it's better to fall in the correct way, not just slam first try and be afraid of ever doing it again.

Can you do it on a board with the wheels and trucks taken off like on some carpet or on a trampoline, maybe? It sounds like your brain developed some kind of a phobia of pop shuvits as like a defense mechanism, and if possible, you gotta try to rewire that part of your brain and make it understand that pop shuvits won't always cause you to break your wrist. Maybe try it on a board with wheels but just on some turf on a football field or something? Anybody else had this happen and have any ideas?

I learnt varials before kickflip, so now I struggle with them. 360 flips use a lot of force, a shuvit is quite light footed. I compare them to pressure flips, it should just land where you started. Try Fakie shuvs cos they roll with your momentum. To be fair, if your dialled at the tricks you mentioned, your pretty good. But I know how annoying it can be to learn a lot and one simple trick seems to evade you. I swear to God I've done a Nightmare flip down a 4 set, but I've never landed a kickflip.

It's easiest to accept and commit to the fall. Don't hesitate, just commit. I always say that falling is my best trick. Martial arts helps a lot. It's gonna hurt, but you can minimize the injury by staying in control and guiding your momentum.

Last session I moved from a tiny 2' ramp to a reasonable 3-4' ramp... I wasted at least half an hour if not more setting the tail on the coping and just staring at it 🤣 I eventually stomped it and rolled out comfortably on my first attempt 🤦‍♂️

I'm struggling with landing my 180s straight right now and your other vid gave me the idea of practicing reverts to get into the motion some more. And regarding this one: many people leave out or don't admit that repeating the same motion over and over is nearly not all there is to learning tricks and how to ride and feel comfortable in general. Thanks for the calm and unpretentious explanations, that's not a given.

Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve had some people tell me that to actually learn to do an ollie I have to try it while moving, but every time I’m going to try rolling I get so scared. Now this totally boosted my confidence and I’m gonna go try it, fall and try it again. When I’ve fallen while staking it hasn’t been bad, so why should I be scared of falling. In fact, falling helped me with manuals. And this is def something to learn from skateboarding which I’ll then apply to my life. Thanks for the video!

this channel has actually helped me so much man, thank you

Great tutorial, as always! And yes, skateboarding philosophy can be applied to life.

Thanks a lot buddy, I’m 27 just getting back to skate and this video made me feel motivated. Btw excellent trick tips the best that I’ve found in this platform!!

Thanks dude. I’ve been scared to skateboard or longboard in general, and this really helped

That's really useful to see your examples - it's easy to assume that great skaters have zero fear

Very good analysis of bailing and learning. I agree that it usually seems worse than the reality. Keep em coming bro. From England.

Finally. After 2 months, I was able to conquer my fear of falling from skateboard. I wonder when will I be able to walk normally again?

I saw you playing drums. One of my biggest fears is breaking my elbow which will put a pause on my music hobby. But, I will say, I am loving the process of learning to skate. Its different from anything else I've learned because of the fear. Learning music is definitely hard, but I don't hurt myself when I grind arpeggios. I'm still learning how to balance and tic tac, and im scared. But I'm proud to say it because I'm addicted to the feeling of being scared! I fell a few times and it wasn't bad. The millisecond when you realize you're about to fall makes me feel alive, lol

I love how your message at the end had me from thinking about skateboard into thinking about my life choices 😂 but honestly this was a great video and life lesson 🙏🏻

I had a snowboarding accident which made me hesitate so much to drop in and any other ramp trick. Getting protective geat helped with confidence. Great video! ✌️

Definite ptsd, but I got back on the board the next day

I thought this was going to talk about how to fall properly. If you know how to fall properly, it is less scary because you know it is less likely you will get seriously hurt

Love your advice and attitude.👌

I'm a beginner and I want to share my learning process on dealing with fear and finding the limit. Recently I've been practicing the manual. I always have this fear of having the tail fall to the ground too fast and my whole body falling backwards while doing the manual. So I wanted to face that fear by simply rolling, lifting the nose, but then purposefully ending the manual by getting my tail to touch the ground to stop. It was scary at first because I didn't know how to do this consistently. I wanted to do this so that I know what it feels to have the tail go too far down quickly. From doing this a couple of times, I quickly found that it's actually really hard to get the tail to touch the ground unless I apply some power with or add weigh on to my back foot. So now, when practicing my manuals, I know that it would be very unlikely for me to have the tail touch the ground unless my weight is too much on the back foot. Following this exercise, I was more comfortable in doing mini manuals (like a split second of the front wheels being up) without the fear of slipping the tail under me because I previously had felt that limit. Now, I'm continuing to practice it by adjusting other factors. e.g. now I'm seeing if I can go higher with my nose and how much that upsets the balance and how much I'd have to shift my weight. To be continued....

Thanks for the video, I tend to chicken out while dropping in because I got stitches last year

I really needed this video

I used to be able to have pop shuvs on lock and then when i got hurt i couldnt commit to anything but now im learning them again and trying kickflips again. Thanks for the advice!

It took me a long time to get comfortable fully popping off the board. So the first few times I ollied on concrete, all I challenged myself to do is push the tail down. Doesn't need to pop. Just push. First a tiny push, then bigger and bigger. Right now I'm doing shuvits. I have the technique down in the sense that I can do a full shuvit on grass, I just can't commit to doing it moving or on concrete. so I'm doing tiny 45 degree and 90 degree shuvits to desensitize myself to the fear of landing on a moving plank of wood with wheels. Progress is slow, but that's just a fact of skating. Especially skating as a 29 year old!

Really good video, im just scared to drop in on the 5 ft quarter pipe

My brain is so afraid I couldn't even do a flip-on without trying it a couple times in the grass first... xD it makes progression very difficult. But I do like the idea of falling a couple times to get used to how it doesn't have to really hurt all that bad! Thanks :)

Theres 2 things i really wanna learn, drop ins and boardslides or any grind, ive tried dropping in on small roll in ramp things and i always end up scraping the tail and falling back, which makes dropping in on a quarter pipe really scary for me, but i tried a boardslide for the first time the other day and fell on my ass, grazed up my arm but that was definetly worth it
