Basically that’s all I needa ask I’m COMPLETELY new to skateboarding (fingerboarding made me want to skate lol) and I feel like a poser without knowing anything about the culture or anything like that anywhere I can look or vids I can watch about the culture/history of skateboarding n shi
I can do RTF on wood & metal ramps but when it comes to concrete, I bail or self sabotage if it's over 4ft..
The slams ENRAGE me. How do I stop doing this to myself? What mental game can help me over this hurdle??!
i just cant get them consistent i landed my first one yesterday after a 2 day grind and landed 3 today but most of them look like this. any tips?
I started skating like 2 or 3 months ago and i go to the skatepark like once or twice a week because i don't have too much time. However i enjoy it very much and i've learned the basics, i can ride around pretty well do some kickturns, some not too pretty ollies and i've landed my first couple kickflips(very ugly however).
When I see the more experienced skaters they can almost dance on their boards if you know what i mean, really good control.
My question is, how can i improve on this and practice the best?
Thanks in advance
With this shoes and deck widh my skateboard flips somehow slow, i have to wait for it i bit below me. What do you skaters think, is it even good deck size and proportional with shoes size for skating which includes mostly flat ground flip tricks and grinds/slides on flat ledges and flat rails? Should i maybe use more narrow deck or not, or maybe even wider?
I was finally able to pull off a Ollie on the grass does anyone have any tips how to get comfortable doing this while either rolling or on pavement I feel like I’m not landing where i necessarily should be either since I stepped off so I guess it doesn’t actually count 😂
Nothing crazy at all but I finally got comfortable
Enough to roll into the shallow part of the pool and all the way into the bottom bowl, finally getting comfortable turning I have a surfing and snowboarding background so I feel it’s similar with using your back foot to pump and turn but front is there to direct and keep balance. What I do need to work on if any one has some advice is leaning forward enough but not too far to where I faceplant but not to far back where I slip out at the bottom (filmed on my GoPro max2 more learning to skate so I can honestly be the camera man more than anything but i would love to learn some tricks) hopefully tho my goal is to fully drop in from the coping by the end of summer break (about a month)
