I'm gonna start skateboarding after Christmas. I asked for a skateboard, and im so nervous!!! I was looking out on youtube for female skateboarders and mainly found males, but I'm so glad I found you cause this gave me a massive confidence boost! Also, you're doing amazing, and I really look up to you as a 14 year old girl about to start learning soon 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
02:30 This is a nose stall ! The first step to nose slides. ;) Try to put your front foot deeper on your nose. (I'm sorry I'm commenting before finishing the video, but I'm already proud of your progression !)
Girl! That was AMAZING! I've been hooked on all your progress videos, and literally you get better each time! Very very very proud of you! Ricky is by far the best teacher anyone could ask for! The boneless looks amazing and the strawberry milkshake is just about getting your timing down, much like with any skateboarding trick! I've been waiting to see you in the skatepark! I will be glued to my screen waiting for that video! P.S. your hair looks good with the highlights! You just have one of those faces that can pull off any look!
Props to you, Hegla! This is such a fun series! As a fellow struggler, I feel your pain so much! I have skated in my teen years for literal YEARS and couldn't ever do a shuvit! Now, well over 30 and getting back into it, I can't recommend Mitchie Brusco's "Skate IQ"-Channel enough (no shade towards Ricky, because he's a Legend and obviously did a GREAT job giving you pointers) What I noticed, was that when you ollie (and also sometimes your shuvits) you wind up for the jump, and right befor you start moving upwards, your hips sway to the tail noticeably. I have this same problem, and it causes ollies to be awkward, and shuvits to be impossible to land with your back foot on. For me, the absolute gamechanger (only 3 weeks ago) was Mitchie Brusco's Video on Ollies. Especially Chapter 2 on where to lean. And he makes a point, that Ollies aren't about how hard you can scoop up your board or slam down your tail. But rather how swiftly you can pick up your front foot once your body is moving upwards. And that changed everything for me. Instead of pushing down hard, I focus on lifting up my front foot quickly! And that helps me not to lean so much on my tail (which I think I did to "push down harder"). Lo and behold: Ollies are higher, more precise and Pop Shuvits are finally on the menu (still working on consistency - but 1 out of 3 I can land now). If you're interested, this is said video that helped me so much: ua-cam.com/video/hnqg_fkBkNM/v-deo.html Sorry for the rant! By no means do I mean to coach you, because I am barely able to skate myself. But I LOVE your journey and your will to learn All the best and safe skating! Nick
what helped me put the second foot on the board during a shuvit, was only focusing on that particular foot. id just pretend the other foot didnt matter and focus on only one, until i started doing it and only then id try the other foot together. Eventually I was able to do it, and it was probably the happiest moment i had skateboarding, no joke.
I also struggled the same way with the shuv it, what helped me was finding a spot where there was concrete next to grass, so I could do the shuv it movement on concrete but land on the grass and then I just moved back until I could land on concrete. It still took a bit to get the right technique but it helped with getting rid of the fear of landing. Just sharing this because I felt the same frustration with shuv its and I love seeing your progress skating :)
wow, you're already so good at this! you actually inspired me, to actually start skateboarding next year!! I already got a board; now, i'm waiting for the cold season to be over, here in berlin. btw, one thing i especially enjoy about your videos, is the music choices! good stuff, thanks!
So inspiring to watch! Keep it up - You determination is strong and a valuable force of yours! I've started skateboarding (at age 50+!!!), and my main focus is chasing the feeling of comfort and balance, so I do a LOT of basic pushing and practicing toe and heel weight distribution. Understanding toe and heel balance is HIGHLY recommendable, as it makes you super comfy just rolling and cruising on the board. This is building my confidence and motivates me to move on into simple tricks; some of which you're trying as well. Anyway, didn't mean to lecture - I love how we all learn via different approaches, and I enjoy hearing about other skater's progression, so thank you so much for sharing yours.
I only recently got my shuvs down and OH MY GOSH. I'm so done with those little shits, I swear to god XD (I totally feel the struggle, though, keep going, and good ollie action!)
Next video should be about how many parking spaces you can manual. Start with a stationary manual, then try to manual just the line of a parking spot, then hopefully the whole thing, and then pick up some speed an go for two. Smooth ground and the tiniest bit of a hill will help.
Nah man, I get it. I haven't devoted much time to skateboarding because I started later in life and concrete/asphalt is scary. Instead, I've been practicing with wakeskating. I managed to land a handful of pop shuvs a couple of years ago but fell out of practice. So I feel the pain. It's like I land 1 out of every 100 that I try, on a good day. But each one feels good, so keep at it. And skateboarding, you may want to try shifting to kickflips instead since they help your ollie form from what I understand
You're almost there with shuvits, your foot placement is just wrong when you managed to land it on the grass: Your feet are too close together and on one side of the board only, which makes the board fly off when you land on concrete. Try focusing on landing on the bolts of your trucks when you're trying on the grass, that's where you'll be most stable while landing and even moving. Keeping your feet on the bolts and your shoulders in line with the board are the best good habits you could learn as a beginner. Hope you'll keep at it, you're doing great!
Try practicing shuv-its inside on a deck without trucks/wheels - aka: carpet boarding.. It's way easier to learn to spin the board and land on it. Transferring that back to wheels and hard ground isn't simple, but it's a decent stepping point.. and makes practicing a bit easier too! ;) Keep rolling!
i had the issue of falling backwards off of the board, so i forced myself into bending more than necessary after landing, wich kinda helped me not being so scared to put the second foot on the board with shuvits, but yeah i'm feeling that shuvit struggle, i'm also still inconsistent with them :')
A fakie revert is simply doing the 180 kick turn motion but not raising the nose in the air, attempt to only allow the wheels to slide. Also if you really want to get those shuvits down, try to land only on your front foot while in the grass, think of it as passing the tail to your front foot. Once you can consistently land one legged and balancing, then you allow your back foot to come on.
And for those who wish to make the transition from shuvs to pop shuvs, instead of trying to land on the board right away like many normally do since it works for normal shuvs; for pop shuvs on the other hand, these tips may help: 1. Make sure you shuv only after you pop 2. If the board keeps getting left behind, try to shove the tail towards your front foot heel. 3. If the nose comes up too high after or during the rotation it can be impossible to land, meaning not enough pop, or you’re rushing the front foot landing causing the nose to rise. Make sure you float your front foot waiting for the tail to come around, it maybe awkward at first but eventually you’ll get a consistent catch. 4. If the board is under rotating it could mean that the shuv motion isn’t strong enough or your body could be counter rotating. These are the tips that were most helpful to me, but it may not work for everyone and it’s hard enough as it is to explain through text where interpretation varies.
when you kick turn its like your trucks go in bigger circle, but you can do that thing where you turn in one spot, using your legs and hips more, watch freestyle turns, its fun to try and feel the difference :] also try backward riding(basically looking whole body opposite the direction you are going), watch longboard dance videos :D
you got those shuv-its u just need to commit and put your back foot on it know matter what happens. you do it once and itll break that imaginary barrier in your mind thats blocking you from just doing it. find something you can hold onto when doing shuv-its on concrete. use two hands, get good with it, take one hand off get good at it then just commit and do no hands.
The biggest thing to fix is your mindset. You end the video saying you’ll never shuv it. So you won’t. Until you change that mindset and are convinced you can
You don't have to shuv it to boneless. I'm using the boneless to help me learn an ollie and I have never attempted a shuv. There is no rhyme or reason to this, it beautiful chaos and to each their own. Keep trying it over and over a million times then suddenly it will happen for you
Very cool! Thanks for sharing your real life progress (way faster than mine :D)! I wonder if this video from @TheoTanchak helps you for skating in general: ua-cam.com/video/0ImdV8cyvCI/v-deo.html And for the Shuvit, which I absolutely cannot do, my approach (based on my experience from Parkour) in your situation would be 3 things: 1. finding out which foot you are focusing on, and then focusing on the other one, 2. fixing left/right balance when landing, maybe with jumps without board or on grass, and 3. putting some padding on the shin to get rid of the fear of hitting it, as that sometimes slows learning progress. (Pain is good in general, but it does not always help :D)
YESS I've been waiting so long for this series to continue!
Yes

Great to see you still at it :) rome was not built in a day and all that.
Your vibe would for sure make you a great movie action hero. I can see you as katniss, furiosa, the bride (Kill bill)
wow, you're already so good at this!

I already got a board;
now, i'm waiting for the cold season to be over, here in berlin.

Good work. I love your progress. Keep it up!
I feel so identified with you because of the same problems as I’m just starting too.
Love ur videos 💜

u should try the shuv it while holding onto something! tht helped me learn :)

pretty sweet Shuvvs
love your skating videos, they are so fun to watch and u are so cute
i love these
Do you like a fan of the script!!! Me too queen
I don’t like the scrip but I think you’re really brave for typing that 😍
HALL OF FAMEEEEEE
rock hard wheels are good for skating at park
they give a better pop IMO
Let's Go
I just heard Hegla sneeze
Do you want to feel it?
Very excited I don't speak English is there a translator? 🇦🇪❤
i need to a new board, can you tell me where you buy yours from?
:I speak English and brainrot." Loooooool
The biggest thing to fix is your mindset. You end the video saying you’ll never shuv it. So you won’t. Until you change that mindset and are convinced you can
can you confirm if you're giving up on skating or giving up on shoveits D:
❤

😊🎉🛹🥇😊
subjective guess who? 🥺
I’ll play it with you!!!!
You need to come to my house
@@HeglaUA-cam yeah I really should …..
Maybe for the shuvit, you could find a place where the concrete meets the grass and practice doing shuvits into the grass at first.
❤So Tomboy👍So Beauty😂Plz dont go so long again😘You are so A+ youtuber Post Weekly at least🥇🛹❤
