Skateboarding Roadmap: Does This Make Sense for a 40+ Beginner?

​

First off, I love lists, roadmaps, and especially checking things off once they’re done.

Since I’m starting from scratch and want to learn how to skateboard at over 40, I’ve put together a kind of roadmap of everything I want to learn. I think the list is roughly sorted so I can work my way from top to bottom, though the order probably matters less the further down you go.

What do you think of my list? Did I miss anything essential? Is the order nonsense at any point? How would you expand it?

  1.      Falling on Pads
    
  2.      Step up and down the Skateboard
    
  3.      Walk with Skateboard under one Foot
    
  4.      Pushing
    
  5.      Stopping
    
  6.      Jumping up and down the Skateboard
    
  7.      Kickturn
    
  8.      Tic Tacs
    
  9.      Crab Walk
    
  10.     Standing Tail Stop
    
  11.     Jumping  on standing Board
    
  12.     Pop Corn
    
  13.     Manual
    
  14.     Acid Drop
    
  15.     Power Slide
    
  16.     Hippie Jump
    
  17.     Roll off a curb
    
  18.     Shuv it
    
  19.     Roll down ramps
    
  20.     Miniramp Pumping
    
  21.     180 Kickturn
    
  22.     Casper half flip
    
  23.     Ollie
    
  24.     Boneless
    
  25.     Revert
    
  26.     Nose Stall on Curb
    
  27.     Tail Stall on Curb
    
  28.     Slappy Nose Grind
    
  29.     No Comply
    
  30.     Ollie up a curb
    
  31.     Kickturn on a ramp
    
  32.     Body Varial
    
  33.     Rock to Fakie
    
  34.     Kickflip
    
  35.     180 Ollie
    
  36.     Nollie
    

By the way, the reason I’m starting is because my kid absolutely wants a skateboard for their 4th birthday and has been watching nothing but skate videos ever since. So I decided to join them on this learning journey. I don’t think a 4-year-old needs a roadmap, they’ll probably just explore intuitively. But I want to support them in making progress too. If you’ve got any extra tips on that, feel free to share.

Best Way to Start Skateboarding for Me and My 4-Year-Old

My daughter wants a skateboard for her 4th birthday—she’s absolutely set on it. I’m hoping she’ll stick with it long-term, so I want to give her a good start. Plus, I’m really excited to learn and do this with her. I have zero skateboarding experience, I’m not very athletic, and I weigh 100 kg. For starters, I was thinking of getting us both complete boards from Decathlon, seems like a solid price-to-performance ratio, especially since there’s a chance it’ll just end up in the corner after a few days.

How’s the best way to approach this, especially for a 4-year-old? What should we learn first, and what kind of progress is realistic? Any general tips?

Also, any YouTube recommendations for learning with kids? Happy to take English or German content.

Welchen Fahrradträger muss ich für diese Halterung kaufen?

​

Frage im Titel. Die Halterung ist am Wohnmobil, aber den Träger gibt es nicht mehr. Würde gerne einen neuen kaufen, aber weiß nicht was passt. Vielleicht erkennt die Halterung ja jemand wieder.
