Nice to see a beginner video that would actually be useful for a beginner.

Loyal! Excellent video. One thing is to pad up. The first six months of skating is likely the most dangerous, so wear a helmet, and padding all around. Last thing you want is to fall on your elbow and have to take time off for an injury. One thing that really helped me once I got comfortable pushing around was to try to roll around with only one foot on the board and the other foot kind of off the board but ready to push again. That was really when I felt like I had more control of the board and rolling around. Still a newbie, but loving every minute of it! Thanks for an awesome series. Couldn't do it without you!

Newbie! Literally just started yesterday! Thanks, I have a great fear of losing balance and falling and just want to become comfortable with the feel of the board and like I have some kind of control even if it rolls easily under me. Gonna give these steps a try to build my confidence! 😊

New skater at 48. Just bought a 35´ board for cruising. I didn’t expect how cool it is when riding a skate. Of course I need a lot of practice to improve myself and your video is very helpful!

Nice bro, I got a skateboard in 2020 for Christmas but gave up on it because i was kinda a pussy and scared to fall lmao, but now im more confident to learn and I hope it goes well. 🙏

THANKSS!! I really needed this tutorial I was struggling to not fall, but when I found this in 1 hour I could actually balance pretty good!!

Returning skater. Used to tool around on my friend's board as a kid, but family couldn't afford a board for me, so mainly rode bike up through my late 20's.
Over the past several years I got interested again in skateboarding, and I'm finally in a financial position I could build my own board. Got it put together, stepped on it, and almost broke my back first try cause I've lost my riding balance. I'm fucking determined though, hence here I am. 😁🤘

New Skater at 44! Thanks for the tips.I suppose at my age, having never skated before, it was common sense for me to hold on to something at first! It’s fun, but it is a challenge to find that center of gravity at times. The couple falls I’ve taken so far have been backwards (Ouch! No fun — too much weight on my back foot plus I start to lean back towards the tail as my body tries to stop, then, of course, I shoot the board out from under me). I have a cruiser, but the board is pretty much the size of a regular skateboard and has a flat nose. Any other tips to train the rest of my body to stop leaning towards the tail when I pop up the front?

This video is gonna help me so much, I have a disability and my balance is really bad and I’ve been wanting to learn so bad, thank you so much!

New Skater here! Just got my board made & im ready to go out & practice!

Thanks for the great tips - new skater here 🙋🏻‍♀️

New skater here. I've had this cruiser board for years and finally decided to try and learn. I might change to a regular board as I've heard they are easier to learn on.
I started by skating next to a wall for reassurance, but I'll definitely try these excercises to help learn balance.
I came off the board (put too much weight on my back foot) but I'm undeterred. Its also a hell of a workout for someone who hasnt been very active for long.

this worked so well for me, thank u!!

New Skater. i used to ride a ripstick as a kid but that is a little different to a skateboard. I got myself a new board last week and have been too nervous to go to my local skatepark. So, just working on my balance in the garage. Definitely going to try out these tips tomorrow!

I Found your video among other teaching videos. Thanks so muck for taking the time to teach new skateboarders like myself. Coming to this very late in life, but looking for a challenge. I’m in my 60s and I suppose most people will think I am crazy to do this. I am in pretty good shape for my age. I purchased my board at a local skate shop and got all the protection and taking my time. These examples will help for sure. The first time I went out ( shoulder have gotten balance down more)I succeeded riding and getting up on the board but I took 3 hard falls in the first 10 minutes. The padding probably saved me from breaking my arm or wrist. Shook it off and continued more cautiously. I just lost control of the board so now slowing it down and working on balance. Thanks again!
