I'm not a beginner but I always feel like one when I go to parks! Over the years I have gotten slightly less awkward but the struggle is still quite real

3:07 one time I sprained my foot at the bottom of a giant ditch ramp and my skateboard flew across the skatepark into the vert ramps, then someone helped me get out of the ramp and someone else went and got my skateboard so nobody would get hurt... Be like them if someone is struggling to get up. Unless they aren't seriously hurt, then just keep skating

And thanks for the tips as a new skater, I've been feeling discouraged bc I feel unsuccessful in my skating experience and you have just encouraged me❤thanks

The guy that fell on the scooter had me dying 😂

I went to the skatepark at 8am to avoid people and their were 3 other people their. 2 riding scooters but they were like 5 years old so kept getting in the way and a middle aged skater guy that seemed cool but he must have wanted to avoid people to as he left within 10minutes of me getting there

and everyone was eventually a beginner too

(Edit: Everyone was a beginner before)

Even tho Ive been skating forever, Im 31 now, I still wonder, "Did I ever miss something?" And I recently fell in love with your channel since Im planning to move just outside of NY.

Any tips for older skaters who's main issues are dealing with pain that keeps us from skating longer?

[lizzzzzzzzzzz]

It's humiliating when there's a load of 5 year old kids skating and using a scooter perfectly

[bugghead]

I’m tryna learn how to drop in but there are so many teens/young adults at the parks and I’m deeply insecure❤️

[TrutiTru]

Rule: go early
Me: *going in the evening while everyone leaves, it's cool out, and there are only a few people left. Usually all the kids are gone by now cus they gotta go to bed*

John, can you make a tip video for intermediate skaters? Certain things that can help us improve more or point out common mistakes people make doing certain tricks etc..

[BeardedForever]
