How to Longboard Carve: Step by Step for Beginners!

Hey all! In this video I break down how I understand the fundamentals of carving on a longboard for beginners. I go through the foot positioning, weight distribution, and shoulder movements necessary to carve successfully, and review step-by-step how to carve safely! Please let me know if this makes sense, and please leave a comment or send me a DM on IG if you have any questions! I'd also very much appreciate any feedback you may have on how I might make my videos better.

This is the best video I've found on carving. You present the lesson in a detailed, clear, and concise manner. Bravo!

[Honeyybjj]

Thanks for this. Lots of videos start with dance steps but i need to know how to just get the board moving first 😭 love this tutorial breakdown as an absolute beginner

[laureness]

The tip about foot positioning really works! I can finally do a somewhat decent carve 🙌🏽

[jivadaya]

Nice job! SO much fun, I'm a faux beginner, getting back on after a long time. Thank you for the review on these fundamentals!

[kimmersxa]

This is fantastic. Thank you for the clear and concise foot It helped me so much with turning in general and stability 🎉

Do more videos man.. I've watched a ton of videos of people with 100k plus views explaining how to carv and yours was MILES better

Great video dude, I got into longboarding recently, and this video is really good! Thanks for sharing

[cookiefighterr]

I always did my stance the opposite - i drive goofy - and i had the front foot kinda in the middle and the back foot with toes a bit overboard... I can't relearn it :(

This was really a great, short, and informative video! I'm a beginner and just want to ask (if you don't mind) if it's possible to do carving like that on a rigid longboard, or if I can do cruising on a freeride board that's stiffer?

Hey man great video, can you do a video of how to powerslide on a long board.

[thestagecoachjl]

This is quite helpful, thank you, but am I understanding correctly, that once you start carving faster you use less shoulders - it seems so from your video?

[JOceanLeo]

hey your video is super good to me~~ thank you~ please make more tutorial~~~

[viridianite]

What's the longboard you used here? It looks sweet

[unavaible]

Hey bro what is the guitar song used at the end

[budirubiyanto]

So, you work with your shoulders, right?

[SlavaChrome]

Don’t agree with leg position!
Legs must be equal amount pass the edge.

It’s not correct when toe on one leg and heel on other are out more than other.

Great video! I just started longboarding today since I wanted to carve, this is a really nice video that I'll be watching again when I'm more comfortable on the board haha

What do you recommend for wheel size, shape for just carving around town (not tricks or sliding, just tight turns and versatile for roughish urban terrain)?

I want to wear a helmet but the wind in my hair 🥲🥲

This was a great video. Great detail, clear and I feel a lot more confident in my carves now
