I cannot seem to commit my backfoot when it comes to ollieing down things, even small things, i will even try ollie onto the grass or something, and it seems like my backfoot is just not committing. It's very annoying to me because I feel as though I could be soo much better if my mind would just go blank and have no worries. And obviously if my backfoot committed. Any tips to fix this would be so very helpful, thank you. r/skateboardhelp r/skateboarding r/SkatingAdvice

Hello ive been skating for a year on and off and took my skateboard on holiday bc there is a park nearby, its not the greatest but it has a few ramps and a small rail. I decided to try skate my first rail, so I'm trying to do a bs boardslide. However im having some trouble commiting my back foot to go with me on the rail and also ollie onto it most times I barely get it off the ground and js rocket on it or js barely pivot. Ive already tried balancing my board on the rail and jumping on it to see how it feels and I can do that im comfortable, any tips?

How to absorb the impact of skateboard falling on ground while doing Ollies and stuff and stop my knees from hurting ?

I feel very comfortable doing ollies on grass (with the tail over concrete for popping), or on rough ground. But as soon as I move to smooth ground I feel like I slip out every time. I’ve been trying to pop straight down more but I also see people pushing a little bit backwards and getting a really smooth motion. I know it’s definitely a fear and commitment thing as sometimes the board doesn’t pop because I haven’t committed to popping hard enough (this has gotten less frequent though). I feel like at the moment I jump and lift from my squat, the board moves and I’m thrown off balance. Any tips for this at all?

i feel like i can’t jump

We’re non‑skater parents with a soon to be 4‑year‑old who wants a skateboard for his birthday.

Is this age okay to start, and if so, what type of board (and other equipment) should we get for a small beginner?
