I’m a 39 year old woman and got my first board 2 days ago. It won’t be easy but I got this. Thanks for the tips 💙

i literally got my board today and you posted this 7 minutes ago. you’re a godsend 😭😭

Man it's crazy to think I was watching these videos in the summer of 2016, not even able to stand on my new board but excited to learn and now I can ride like it's second nature and learned so many tricks from your videos. There's so much nostalgia in hearing the chill background music and seeing all of the skate spots you used to film in. If you're new and are really struggling to pick skating up, that's normal! Just keep at it and have fun, I'd give anything to be back in those days again

I don’t even skate much anymore, I haven’t found the time in years. But i remember watching all your trick guides years ago and being so excited to go to the park with my friends and try them out. You‘re one of the reasons I spent so much time out there, connecting with friends and having fun. I miss it, i don’t know anyone who skates anymore. But the fact that you still make these videos makes me so happy. I know another generation of skaters will be well looked after.

it makes me happy knowing new people are picking up a board every day

Best first day skating tutorial so far! Nobody talks about one footed balance for pushing / stopping or why one should use both legs to lift the end of the board. Monster Walk is also useful to get comfortable on the board.

I’m a 30yr old plus size woman, and have always wanted to learn how to skateboard…thank you for the tips!

IMO the best way to figure out your stance is thinking about how you slide on ice naturally. You kniw that when you are fooling around on ice in regular shoes. You run for it, and start sliding as it feels natural. Now that will also be your skateboarding stance. At least I got this advice, and it worked right away for me

just got my first board this week. did a little skating as a young teenager, but at age 33 im ready to give it a better shot. thanks for posting such a calm and judement free beginners video.

I'm almost 40 years old and one day I just decided to start skateboarding! It made me a changed man. I love it.

Love this video. Great help for me, I am 60 and want to just cruise on a long board and do some Ollie’s to get on and off pavements.

i started skating ALMOST 2 years ago, last year moved into an apparent complex and im sooo scared to skate outside of my house. before that i skate on my roof, just learnt to almost ollie and ride the board
I'll updates if i skate outside tho :)

I'm 21 and just went to the skate park today. Safe to say there was a lot of falling over lol. Just discovered, I'm not even standing on the board right, I always keep my front foot facing forward so I can push off but I struggle to turn it sideways again when my back foot goes back on the board

Started watching VL Skate since quarantine, and I’m still here bro💪🏽
