BEST LONGBOARD PUSHING TECHNIQUE (long distance)

In this video I am talking about the best technique for a long distance longboard trip. I started out only using the toes to propel myself forward but that was not the way to do it.
Hope you enjoy.

I made the same mistake when I started as well, I was trying to bounce off my toes. Puts a lot of tension on your Achilles and large toe after a while.

Thank you so much. This is so helpful. You get straight to the point, no annoying introduction. This is exactly my problem, pushing off with the front half of the foot only

Sitting on my couch with a sore ankle, Found this video the morning after I went out for the first time ever for 30 min. Wish I would’ve seen this before I went out. Thanks bro. My wife was all like “Your ankles are weak and tight”. I was like nah, I’m doing something wrong. In 16 years together, imma be right for the first time. Bout to buy myself a fancy cigar. Bless you sir.

I love how you said that longboarding is like slow running, and I think that helps me to understand it so much better! Thank you so much I’m subscribing.

OH MY GOODNESS my feet feel so much better!

i would stress the importance of being able to push with either leg and switch it up to keep it balanced, my first time going 50+ miles in a day messed my foot up pretty bad from only pushing with my right leg xD

Here after my feet started hurting. Thank you!

After having pushed only using my toes for years I started to wonder if I should push with my entire foot, as I always get a sore foot after a while (as you mentioned). So I decided to search on youtube to see how other people were pushing, and then I found this video! I now started to push this way and I can notice I almost get no sore feet anymore! It definitely takes some time to get used to however, after such a long time of toe-pushing.... Now I just need to train myself to ride switch aswell!

I've been longboarding for years and never really thought about my foot placement. The last few times I went boarding, the foot I use to push was sore after and now I know why. I noticed that I push with my toes.Thanks for the tip, I'll try it next time I'm out!!

THANK YOU YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW RELATABLE YOUR SCENARIO WAS TO ME. I’ve been putting too much on my toes rather than my whole foot

[HanifCarroll]

Perfect video. I just started longboarding, and I was very curious about this. Thank you!

[animalfinatic]

Nice. Gonna try this. It makes the most sense to push this way anyways but it gives me confidence hearing someone else say it.

Thank you for straight forward informative video. Also drop deck has huge impact on that! I learned that before skating with scooters - the smaller height difference between feet the less muscles have to work.

I'm just learning to push for longer distanced so this is really helpful! Thank you so much!

[iosoi]

Very helpful! Just found your channel, can't wait to watch your other stuff. And damn that is a beautiful longboard!!!

[naomijay]

OMG! thanks so much for this. I was wondering why my feet would hurt so much after just cruising. Definitely gonna try this during my next sesh 💗

[quincy]

thanks for the video. short but clear. just started longboarding and i currently can't board because of a sore foot. i pushed only with my toes and i overstressed the back of my ankle. once the pain is gone i will use this technique and hopefully i dont get this problem again XD

[mookiller]

thanks for this tip. now i know why the arch of my foot is so strained. was smashing it down with my toes. thanks dude!

[mimmikyute]

I am currently nursing a sprained ankle from pushing with my toes in short bursts for a week. Thank you so much
