Falling properly is something that a skater should definitely know how to do. I would have included it in this video but I already had 10 things so I'll make a separate video about that. ;)

"Pretty much anyone can stand on a skateboard while it rolls."

Me: *Can't even stand on one that's not rolling.*

“All it takes is a little bit of confidence!”



Dang it.

Thanks for this one man. My son really needed to see this. He is always getting upset that he doesn't know enough tricks. I try to tell him, to just ride and the tricks will come.

I have been skating since the mid 90's. In my opinion the single best way for beginners to learn balance is honestly just to do manuals like crazy.

[MarkiplierOfficial]

I like that you’re not making fun of beginners, and are giving us information that is helpful.

"They immediately try to do tricks"
Me:Okay first of all I'm just trying not to die

[cynthiamay]

“People usually buy a board an start trying tricks”
Me: trying to figure out which foot should be in the front

[loganheightchew]

im really trying to get into skateboarding but i can’t even ride yet! idk how you people make it look so easy, i honestly don’t think i’ll ever even get good enough to ride but im trying!

[ravonexposed]

When I got mine, I didn’t wanna start doing tricks I wanna get to know my board and know what’s comfortable for me.

this dude walks like a skate 3 character lmao

“Gotta crawl before you walk, walk before you run, and fall before you crawl.” These are the tings that if not learned well will cause newbies to quit. Reading, puzzles, playing an instrument, and SKATeBORDING everyday keeps you young in mind and body.  I've been skating since the summer of 1974. I was 10. This is a great tutorial and well filmed etc. Thanks for making a difference for both skaters and non-skaters alike.
