Don't worry everyone is pretty chill the real skaters know how hard it is so they try to help as best as they can also keep going with the skating you're getting better each time
Everyone sucked at some point, learning is fun and it is what makes you want to keep coming back. Being "bad" (really just new) is a good thing, not a bad thing. Just means you can grow faster every session rather than perfecting the small things over months!
Now THAT is a healthy community! The pro helping the newbie, no toxic words said, just pure and genuine desire to come up with couple pieces of advice. Wish we had more of that in regular life aswell
I wish the art community was like that. I'm a designer and illustrator veteran by now and whenever I try to give newbies in the field advice I keep getting resistance as if I insulted their entire sense of being. When in reality I just want to make them better and prevent them from making the same mistakes I made.
That first rolling ollie attempt was hella impressive, it was essentially a success in most beginners eyes. She really is being too hard on herself, be proud of the improvement youre making and the time and effort being put into something you enjoy!
Bending your knees is the absolute BEST advice for Skateboarding and Rollerblading beginners. Everything improves once you become comfortable with your knees and posture, learning to relax into the flow and using the board or skates as an extension of your natural movement and not just a separate platform you're stood on top of. God, I love skating.

Please brother give it a try Seek God Jesus it’s not about religion but about a relationship with the Creator God is real and He wants a friendship with you ❤️❤️❤️
Bless you for saying “it feels weird or the board feels funny when you don’t skate for a week, two weeks, etc”. I didn’t skate for 3 years because life, i just had to be humble, and skate everyday.
I've wanted to skate since I was like 10. I picked up wakeskating a few years ago and this legit makes me want to give skating a shot again. Especially the little things like going off curbs. Really inspirational for me
Do it! Skateboarding is YOURS! If you stand on a skateboard you're skating. Just go out and do it! You're not giving it a shot, you're already doing it.
thank you for posting these videos and the progression ones. they are so motivating and nice to see the input and advice you give. im about to go to the skatepark for the first time on a skateboard because of you and your videos!

My son has been skating with me for a year a some months . 2 times a week if lucky . He listens to my advice . If amazing watching him apply the info . Kid is 8 rolling in on 7ft quarter pipes boosting out the 5 lol his technique is sharp when it comes to pumping transition! The way he holds his arms is so damn clean!!! I’m flailing like a fish while my son is looking like a natural! I help him work through his fears and bro! The work he puts in is amazing
I started skating this year and tore my meniscus somehow at home while not skating... can't wait to start again. Watching these videos is nice while I can't skate.
Your takes are always so casual, genuine, informative, and inspiring. I just made My first 2 small clips on my phone of me accidently not landing, but sorta, landing a varial flip; while practicing towards my first kick flip. In the same session I attempted a heel flip but landed on the tail. Also got some rocket switch ollies and 2 nollies. When I skated as a kid I never thought I couldn't do any of these tricks. I was good at stairs gaps and rails.
I learned to skate over quarantine and used to skate daily, bringing my skills to campus, til I was hit with illness and essentially house bound for two years, then this year got covid for the first time, and was very ill to the point of immobility for 6 months. I’m just starting to see some recovery, and while I don’t think I’ll be tearing up the city anytime soon like I used to on my board, I’m feeling stronger and ready enough to cruise around a garage park like old times. Riding is so therapeutic, and learning to is a great and rewarding challenge, I encourage anyone to try, ESPECIALLY while you have the health and mobility, you will not regret it. You’ll only regret not trying when it’s too late. I haven’t really skated in over 2.5 years now, but occasionally I’ll glide back and forth in my very small apartment hallway, and I’m grateful to know I haven’t totally lost my touch in that time. ❤❤🎉
I have a theory about those weird beginner Ollie attempts that don’t get off the ground- Maybe the person trying the Ollie thinks that the motion of the board actually propels them into the air, when in reality, an Ollie is just a technique to have the board travel with you when you jump. Idk. I’m high
i love the info you are giving and once it gets cooler outside i will definitely start practicing again, its getting over 100 degrees outside for the past week
As a father who learned to skate 35 years ago it cool to see beginning steps my daughter just got her first board and this is helpful. I don't remember when I learned to ollie
Dude, this is awesome content! Kuddos brother, and kuddos girl! This is sick, I’ve skated since I could walk and this typpa thing is why the skate community has always been A1 above all else. Love it man.
Props to you, girl! You're on you're own and you're giving it a go! I'm trying and I'm 41. It's easy for people who have done this for years to judge you. I think you've done great!!
I love this collaboration. The points made are well said. I choose long boarding I know… 😅 but I never did it in while younger but wow skateboarding is so much fun. Hard. But definitely fun. I love his advice of just making boarding part of your everyday life. I love how the methods to learning are not limited. It’s just learn.
One this she's still missing in this video is the front foot (often) pointing forwards towards the nose when she climbs on the board. Nope, the moment one kicks speed and put s back foot on the board, turn front foot sideways just as the back foot is. I always try to teach this basic sequence of movements to beginners. That helps immensely with basic balance and control of the board and helps one not to stand in their own way :) It's a small thing, but important, especially for steering and carving :) When you have more experience, THEN you can start to mess with the footing and where everything is and when and why, but at the start, it's really important :)
Honestly, great job lady. going from manual to learning rolling manuals would had been a great next step, that's the most fluid way to get off of curbs and also if there's a bump at the edge of it you can do a little bumpy bounce, they're so much fun. I miss skating. :(
I met some skaters yesterday, they were genuinely the chillest dudes ive ever seen in my entire life, thanks to them, i decided to start skating. Now im saving up to buy one
Watching you always makes me wanna skate. Especially when i seen you with the braille squad all together skating and having fun. But when i skate it just make me wanna go back inside. I got no friends that live near me that wanna skate. Its been a month since i skated but ima try agian one day
its a great reminder that this is really difficult and you have to be not good at it for ages before you can be good at it and everyone goes through that great content
When you realize Ollie’s are one of the most difficult tricks to master and is the BASIS of every other trick.. that’s when you get humble about skating! Been skating for 15 years but ankle injuries kept me off the board for about 10 now. But I’m back sloppier than ever! But with your vids, I’ll do fine again 😅
im just starting to skate too- My older brother has been skating since he wasl ike 7 or 8 and he has been more then enough help by giving me tips and answering my questions and stuff, im kinda glad i have the help of videos and stuff and im actually looking for more tips by watching videos exactly like this one. if anyone else has any tips for me i'd be more then happy to hear them. Currently, im focusing on actually pushing on the board.
seeing both perspectives WAS inspirational. i have a board on order (labor day sales!) as i don't have a skate shop nearby. wanted to learn since i was a kid, and played around with my brother's board, but thought i was just "bad" at it. couldn't make the board GO. well, recently i was learning about wheels then realized similar stuff holds true on roller blade wheels...... which gave me a flashback to the skates my mom got me and i thought i was just "bad" at skating. well, not when i got PROPER skates! the other ones were hell on asphalt and barely rolled at all. *so then i realized that skateboard was probably toy quality TOO.* as i learned about boards and setups i was realizing that poor bearings, low quality trucks and wheels can not just be annoying or frustrating, it can put a lot of new skaters off of the whole thing. the low-quality gear is actually getting in their way and they'd have more luck with something halfway decent. anyway, i'm excited to get started. at the least i just wanna be able to cruise properly. but i'll likely pick up some attempts at simple tricks and see how that goes.
At least she got the vibe down, Late at night, skating in random spots around town... going home bruised and in pieces, to do it all over again the very next day ^^
Man, I skated a lot in my teen years for about 6 years or so every day, loved it had an absolute blast with the buddies. I'm 30 and I haven't been on a board in like 13 years, i still have them but im scared if i get on it ill just bust my ass immediately. Which is probably true it's been absolute ages ive lost whatever balance and control I had, but i still fundamentally remember how to do everything in my head, but my body probably doesn't. But watching skateboard videos makes me want to do it again.
@3:14 - story time i remember i was skateboarding at a normal park and i found a steep u shaped road so i rolled in and did some carves on it. (around 30 degree) my father saw that and told me he use to skate. i was so surprised i gave him the board and he rolled in for the first time in like 30 years like he was born to ride it was the coolest thing i ever saw him do and he was like 50 years old at the time.
I started skating 3 days ago, starting to feel decently safe on the board, I heard i should tighten my trucks... i got a 7.6" board instead of the recommended 8,2" so i should def tighten them a little, also gonna plan to get protective gear! Today I went face first onto metal plating but caught myself for only my hands and hip to get hurt, so yea...
awesome to get more ppl come to skating what i did to get use to skating was i would spend 3 hours a day going up and down my drive way just practicing pushing off and just over all comfort on the board before i started learning tricks
His advice to put skateboarding into your daily routine is very good and wonderful advice. Except for me, the town where I live is very hilly and I don't have the skill level to hill bomb just yet. Last time I tried, I injured myself for a good three months. If it wasn't for that, I totally would love to, but I have to settle for flat ground at the moment.
i’m still trying to do the ollie and honestly i like listening to other skaters because they’re more experienced than me so i can learn better from them
One important thing about the ollie is that you need to remember to jump. Lot of people when starting out just pop and slide their foot without actually making an effort to jump resulting in the "rocket ollies"
as an old bastard that get back on a skateboard after the itch sets in and rides till I have a major injury, i feel good knowing that i never feel weird on a skateboard, that must be a pro thing....
I think my issue is that I need to build strength in my legs somehow, its really difficult for me to stay in a knees bent position for more than like a minute without massive fatigue. BUILD LEG MUSCLES GUYS! It helps lol Also I NEVER would have thought to try practicing with my hands...that makes so much sense! Our brains pick up tactile shit so much better with our hands its probably really good to find the movement that way. WOW! Also the paper trick too! 🤯
I think that you need at least a year to start. Once you skated a year (constantly) you can start doing something harder. Then if you keep practicing and having fun you’ll just get better and never worse
skating to school or anywhere in the UK is a nightmare, we have potholes big enough to end your career early, and the roads are shit, at least that's what its like up north.
Love it. I don't skate, I'm a bmx guy, we're kind of natural enemies /jk, but you're providing one of the best advices one can give to other human being: not going too hard on yourself is one of the most important things for everything in life, not just skateboarding. Also, I love how cute women on skateboarding gear look, just look at how her hair flows, gorgeous.
I started skating around last week. These last 3 days, I've been skating for about an hour each day after work. It gives a nice upper leg workout 😂 It's a nice way to get a nice exercise. As the days pass, I'll be able to last longer. Currently, I'm just riding a bit in nearby streets (and just earlier got a better hang with riding and turning to the point where it feels nice... though no sharp turns yet) and practicing my ollies a lot (a lot of progress, but more practice is needed). I want to become comfortable with popping my board and riding it, before going to a skate park.... or maybe more riding it and get some tips at a local skate park lol At 31, time is starting to tick and it's a good way to stay in shape! I've kept my shape and my health, so anything to keep that going is cool
depending on the location in the uk the roads are so weird 1 minute youre on the most perfect flat road clear of anything then its bricks then cobbles back to a normal road
oh man this takes me back to when I first learned haha. I'd been wanting a skateboard for a while so I finally went out and bought one. me and my friend decide to go at his house, a couple hours goes by and I realize I don't have anyway of getting home so I say fuck it and decide to skate it (it was pretty damn far). at first I could barely even push myself but I forced through it and by the time I got home I had basically figured out the fundamentals. all this to say that at first it probably won't feel like you're even making much progress but once it clicks, it gets a lot easier. a bit like learning to ride a bike
I hate skipping a week or more. It's so hard to get warmed up at 41 once you've been away from it for a week or so. I almost have to slam in order to get loose.
when I first started i couldnt ollie for like 6 months. someone gave me some advice, "bring your knees up when you jump" almost immediately I begat to ollie about 6 inches.
i went on holiday like 5days ago now and decided it was a really good idea to try and learn how to skate, not even 30 minutes after getting my board i fell off and broke my wrist lmao
the problem is it rains nearly everyday where i live and so when its not raining its wet out so i struggle to go out skating and another problem is the paths are shit like not just loads of cracks like i mean the path are 1/4 the size of american paths and if i wanted to get over cracks i would nearly have to fly. wish i didnt live in a town…
Honestly, I've never been a fan of learning things standing still first. The momentum adds so much that it's not translatable at all. An ollie rolling is a pop and a push forward, where as an ollie standing still is a pop, which pulls you backwards, and then you flick forward landing mostly behind where you started. The flick and pop for any trick save maybe shoves (because the entirety of a shove it is in the initial pop of the back foot) are completely different standing still to moving. If you're trying to learn to ollie before you can roll you're doing things out of order anyway.

Yeah i agree for the tricks past ollie shuv and Kickflip, i think these basics get more complicated with the rolling variable but once u do them everything else is easier rolling
I know i'm late to the party, but Ricky, for the love of God, TELL THIS GIRL TO GET TO A SKATE PARK! Even if you cant work with her get her to a park where she will get all the help she could need!
I decided to learn skating and I’m waiting for the board and protections to be delivered. I have been weightlifting for a year and wanted to pick up new sports to develop balance and swiftness. How does weightlifting relate to this? In a year I never was able to drop the barbell after deadlifts, no matter the weight. Dropping the board will be so hard 😂

Everyone sucked at some point, learning is fun and it is what makes you want to keep coming back. Being "bad" (really just new) is a good thing, not a bad thing. Just means you can grow faster every session rather than perfecting the small things over months!

One important thing about the ollie is that you need to remember to jump. Lot of people when starting out just pop and slide their foot without actually making an effort to jump resulting in the "rocket ollies"
cant believe how nice everyone from the skating community is :') massive thanks to everyone who's said such nice things
as an old bastard that get back on a skateboard after the itch sets in and rides till I have a major injury, i feel good knowing that i never feel weird on a skateboard, that must be a pro thing....
I think my issue is that I need to build strength in my legs somehow, its really difficult for me to stay in a knees bent position for more than like a minute without massive fatigue. BUILD LEG MUSCLES GUYS! It helps lol
Also I NEVER would have thought to try practicing with my hands...that makes so much sense! Our brains pick up tactile shit so much better with our hands its probably really good to find the movement that way. WOW! Also the paper trick too!
🤯
Great work Hegla!
I think that you need at least a year to start. Once you skated a year (constantly) you can start doing something harder. Then if you keep practicing and having fun you’ll just get better and never worse
skating to school or anywhere in the UK is a nightmare, we have potholes big enough to end your career early, and the roads are shit, at least that's what its like up north.
Love it. I don't skate, I'm a bmx guy, we're kind of natural enemies /jk, but you're providing one of the best advices one can give to other human being: not going too hard on yourself is one of the most important things for everything in life, not just skateboarding.
Also, I love how cute women on skateboarding gear look, just look at how her hair flows, gorgeous.
Haha go girl, nice Ricky 🔥👏
I started skating around last week.
These last 3 days, I've been skating for about an hour each day after work. It gives a nice upper leg workout 😂
It's a nice way to get a nice exercise. As the days pass, I'll be able to last longer.
Currently, I'm just riding a bit in nearby streets (and just earlier got a better hang with riding and turning to the point where it feels nice... though no sharp turns yet) and practicing my ollies a lot (a lot of progress, but more practice is needed). I want to become comfortable with popping my board and riding it, before going to a skate park.... or maybe more riding it and get some tips at a local skate park lol
At 31, time is starting to tick and it's a good way to stay in shape! I've kept my shape and my health, so anything to keep that going is cool
depending on the location in the uk the roads are so weird 1 minute youre on the most perfect flat road clear of anything then its bricks then cobbles back to a normal road
4:53 kick flip back tail in them pants
This is very wholesome.
I’m collecting videos so that I can just watch them over and over and hopefully learn something while waiting for my board to deliver 😂
When I was learning to do an Ollie I was jumping without the board trying to get my knees as high up then tried on the board
idk why but this was kinda wholesome
oh man this takes me back to when I first learned haha.
I'd been wanting a skateboard for a while so I finally went out and bought one. me and my friend decide to go at his house, a couple hours goes by and I realize I don't have anyway of getting home so I say fuck it and decide to skate it (it was pretty damn far). at first I could barely even push myself but I forced through it and by the time I got home I had basically figured out the fundamentals.
all this to say that at first it probably won't feel like you're even making much progress but once it clicks, it gets a lot easier. a bit like learning to ride a bike
i skate my university daily and just the mile i push without having fun is so much muscle memory
I hate skipping a week or more. It's so hard to get warmed up at 41 once you've been away from it for a week or so. I almost have to slam in order to get loose.
when I first started i couldnt ollie for like 6 months. someone gave me some advice, "bring your knees up when you jump" almost immediately I begat to ollie about 6 inches.
His hair is nicely done today
lol
Barbie went to bed
@@edvolley825back into the closet
i went on holiday like 5days ago now and decided it was a really good idea to try and learn how to skate, not even 30 minutes after getting my board i fell off and broke my wrist lmao
Really cool video!!!
Would be a lot of fun to see you skating together!
the problem is it rains nearly everyday where i live and so when its not raining its wet out so i struggle to go out skating and another problem is the paths are shit like not just loads of cracks like i mean the path are 1/4 the size of american paths and if i wanted to get over cracks i would nearly have to fly. wish i didnt live in a town…
8:19, is to blow up. And act like i dont know no body 🤪
Honestly, I've never been a fan of learning things standing still first. The momentum adds so much that it's not translatable at all. An ollie rolling is a pop and a push forward, where as an ollie standing still is a pop, which pulls you backwards, and then you flick forward landing mostly behind where you started. The flick and pop for any trick save maybe shoves (because the entirety of a shove it is in the initial pop of the back foot) are completely different standing still to moving. If you're trying to learn to ollie before you can roll you're doing things out of order anyway.
Congratulations
Damn, I just might need to start a vlog to get me back into skateboarding
I broke my arm the other day when learning how to skate 😢 hopefully when it’s gets better ima get back to skating

Yeah i agree for the tricks past ollie shuv and Kickflip, i think these basics get more complicated with the rolling variable but once u do them everything else is easier rolling
I know i'm late to the party, but Ricky, for the love of God, TELL THIS GIRL TO GET TO A SKATE PARK! Even if you cant work with her get her to a park where she will get all the help she could need!
I decided to learn skating and I’m waiting for the board and protections to be delivered.
I have been weightlifting for a year and wanted to pick up new sports to develop balance and swiftness.
How does weightlifting relate to this? In a year I never was able to drop the barbell after deadlifts, no matter the weight.
Dropping the board will be so hard 😂
i feel very close to doing an ollie but i’m kicking my front foot too early.
Please, How to control direction while pushing ?
